Final Project
Now it is nearly the end of the second semester. Our acting class is about to do our final project. I have learned so many useful things from this class, and I am thinking really hard about what I should do for my final porject. I have tried a lot of different ways of performing in the class so far, and I really liked them. For my final project, I think I am probably going to do a serious or comedy monologue, and I am also thinking about doing a slient movie again.
I want to do serious (or funny) monologue because I want to practice my confident in speaking. Since English is my second language, I am always a little bit shy when I am performing for the previous few projects. Lines are my weakest part of performing, because I didn't know how I can make them more interesting. A monologue is a very good way to practice my confident in speaking, I am going to pay close attention to how I should express my lines in an impressive way and what actions I should add in my performance. This might be an interesting challenge for me, and I think I will start looking at different monologues online and see if there is anyone that I am really interested in.
I also might want to do a slient movie again because I had so much fun during the first time I was doing it. I am better at acting more than speaking, I have a lot of facial expressions when I am performing, which might interesting for the audience. And I also know how to edit videos on the app iMovie, which might be helpful for doing this project. So these are probably th reasons why I want to do this project again. But on the other hand, I think I really should do something that is more challenging for me, I think I should try something new and I also shoud face my weakness and try to improve it as much as I can. So I am still deciding which one I should do.
I really hope I can make some big improvements on my final project, and I think I will be working really hard on it.

“The Dead”
Since John Jiang is a friend of mine; I’ve heard a lot of things about the play even before the actual performances has started. At first, I learned that it is going to be a “tragedy”, and all the great actors at CA are going to join the show. I was really excited about the show, because I knew it was going to be really fun. As what I thought, I was really impressed after I watched the show, and I’ve learned a lot of useful things from it. All the actors that participated in the show were amazing. I was also very into the scene the whole time while I was watching the show.
There are so many good things about the show. For example, all of the actors presented their lines in a clear and strong voice. Everybody was very familliar with their lines; I could tell they must have practice them thousand of times. I also couldn’t really tell if they have made some mistakes or not. All of the them were very into the characters and they were well-prespared when they were performing. During the “party" part of the show, I felt like everybody was very relaxed, so it really made me feel like it is a real party, and I was a part of it. I really liked the atmosphere of that scene. I also thought they were drinking real alcohol during the show, which makes the play more realistic and interesting. There were also few funny lines which made the audience laughed hardly.
There were also a lot of serious parts happened during the show. The one that impressed me the most was the scene of Sam and John talking at the very end of the play. They were fighting because Sam sang a song about the boy that she loved, but the boy probably died for her, which made her very sad. This made John very angry because the woman he loved, his wife, has loved somebody else besides him. I also loved the monologue that John presented at the end of the show, I was really touched, and I also loved the monologue itself. I was even still into the scene after I left the black box.
After I watched the play, I felt all of the people that participated the show were so talented. For example, they have sung many different songs, and every single one of the them was amazing. They all had beautiful voice. I also really liked the piano part, it made the atmosphere of the scene even better. my favorite character would be the character that John Jiang presented. He did an amazing jon on expressing the traits of the character, and he was very relaxed during the show. His voice was also clear and loud.
The only thing I think they could improved a little bit was to make the flashback parts of the play easier for the audience to tell. It was a little confusing when everything just stopped and John started to talk. The way that I think they could do it was to dim the light in background and have only one light on John, because this would make the audience easier to tell what is happening. Everything else was really good.
I really liked the show a lot. According to the performance of all of the characters, I started to know what I should do when I am performing. I should try to be very relaxed, and I should be fully into my character. I shouldn’t be shy, and I shold enjoy every single second on the stage. This show made me want to work harder which I believe I will be doing. I loved the show so much and I had a great time watching it.

Our class has been working on an very interesting scene for two weeks. At the beginning of the project, we couldn't find any good scenes online, so we decided to come up a scene ourselves. We discussed a lot and we made a scene on a hot topic, which is the presidential debate. We made our scene really funny, and we came up with a lot of interesting lines. I played the moderator, Jack played Donald Trump, Giovanna played Hilary Clinton. We all had so much fun while we were working on the project.
I also learned a lot of important things by performing this scene, I've done so much things that I've never tried before. The things I think I did well was I spoke in a pretty clear and loud voice. I also had a lot of facial expressions, I was more willing to present myself than before. These improvements all made me liked the project a lot. We didn't get bored at all when we were practicing, we actually enjoyed it a lot because the scene was funny and interesting. We were having a lot of fun.
There are also some things that I think I definitely need to work on. For example, I think I need to work on be more exaggerating when I'm performing, so the audience won't get bored. I also need to work on developing the character more, which can make the audience learn about my character by looking at my performance. For the next project, I think I need to participate more and be more active, I think I need to share my ideas with the class more and join the discussion more. This was my favorite project, I enjoyed it a lot and had so much fun while I was working on it. I also had some improvements which I think would be very useful to my life.
