So my 3rd Term was my personal favourite. The classes were all so interesting. And my showings went good, got a lot of laughs for the scene, and the masks portion went well too. Now for what my profs said to me this semester.

First was my "Broadening Your Acting Skills" prof Mark, and he started with the usual of asking me how my semester was, and I replied to him what I just wrote above pretty much. Then he continued to say how: "You work so hard, so hard, and it really shows in your work, too bad about your journals though" And I was like >////< "I'm not a writer Mark Jesus, stop bullying me" to which we all laughed, and my profs just gave me amazing suggestions for next time. He then went on to say that he loves having me in his class, and told me a criticism about the showings where I wasn't fully in character until a certain part in the scene which I can admit I wasn't because of nerves X//3.

Then it moved on to my next prof because Mark lost his train of thought. (which I will get back to) My camera acting professor Julia was next and she started with a BUNCH of nice things to say "I just wanna say that I super loved having you in my class. Always a great energy, always so professional, I knew I could always count on you, great attendance, you always e-mailed me to let me know what's what and i really appreciated the professionalism. And I loved how you always want to do more, and I even got you another roll didn't I?" And yes she did. She rocked. Then she went on to say "You are so good at dropping in, you're really grounded in your body, you do some beautiful work you really do, and you're really good at finding swings and nuances. Like your Sheldon in Big Bang" she then leaned to Mark "He was fucking hilarious in that scene" and Mark said "I believe it" then she continued "My challenge for you would be dealing more with lover-lover relationships more like you showed good work in your Good Will Hunting scene but go deeper. And to go to your text, and I know you already do this, but I also challenge you to go to your text and find even more swings and nuances, and I'm so excited to have you for Voice-overs, so I suggest you read something out loud for 10 minutes everyday to prepare, you got 2 weeks over the break right? But that's all for me."

Last was my Masks professor Mario. He said "Yea Anthony, A+ for me really. Wonderful student I loved having you in my class. Your work was wonderful. Every mask you always found something new and it was beautiful. Today I wanted to to tell you that for the full mask where you did your text, that's where you need to go all the time. It was beautiful you were so focused and I didn't see you in there I just saw the character. i would suggest you start focusing on getting rid of your "shadow movements". Like for example how you talk with your hands, sometimes that slips in your work, and it doesn't work for every character, but that's it otherwise, great work, you have a great body to work with, you did wonderful today."

Then Mark ended it with his train of thought coming back and he said "Oh, also, last thing I want to say to you is...you need stop asking for praise." AND EEEVRRRY prof chipped in about how "Yes, you don't need to because in the industry directors will get annoyed not that we are, because we know it's school and this is expected, but we're just giving you a heads up" and then Mark ended it "Especially because...and I've been telling you since day 1 and I'll tell you again...you make great choices as an actor. You don't need my approval."

I just loved my conferences. Always great feedback, and I'm gonna be the best! ^w^ Next Journal will be the report card. TTYL
