Yup. Officially done. It's so weird to be done...school you know?!...lol I'M NOT EVEN 20! But I must say...my showings went amazing. I am very happy with this one. From the Clown show, I was the opening with a lip-synched song. I chose probably a fitting song for the rest of my career and my life. And my opening lip-synched song had SUCH reception.



This is the song I did. Everyone in the audience and I mean EVERYONE, because in the Clown world there is no 4th wall so it is for the audience and I was looking right at them. Everyone was clapping, and cheering me on, even the people that didn't know me! And I had a fan from a previous semester she was like "Oh my God, I loved your Masks stuff last semester you were amazing! I can't wait to see you in Clown" and like...that really made my day, like she isn't a friend. Never spoke to her in my life. So it was pure admiration. My duet turn in Clown got a lot of laughs, but lol it's a duet. I could not have done it without my partner.

Then we moved onto monologues. We performed 2 contrasting monologues. And I felt confident in them (and my professors will later confirm the same)

Onto the conferences.

only 4/6 professors could make it no biggy. But one of the absent ones, was able to leave us with some words, and I will post him last.

To start was Michael my Voice Training professor. He said:

"I'll start. Yea um, I love having you in my class. You are so much fun to have in the class, so much fun to be around. Just lovely. Now about your pieces. Your first one was real good, I liked where it's going I saw the new thoughts and all that, however you sped up sometimes and sometimes we lost you because we had to catch up and we were behind. Keep working on this pieces they really suit you. But that's all really."

Next was Anita my Locations Shooting professor. She said:

"Yea Anthony, I mean wow! You are so committed in Locations it was just like BOOM up here! You gave it 110%, you always brought it, you walked in with such commitment and you were so much fun to have on set and in class. You really worked so hard, and you were so professional. Now what I do wanna say what to work on is...don't worry about pleasing me, and getting it right. Just be. be be be be be be BE! Because it affects your performance like how in your first scene in Locations you were a little nervous? But in your second scene you were so dropped in and you just got it because you knew you just focused the nerves were gone and it wasn't about pleasing me. I think that's your next step. But otherwise, great work, really great work, I've seen so much growth from Term 1."

Next was Julia my Voice-overs professor. She said:

"Yea Anthony, you're super professional. And I loved having you in my class. Loved it! You were honestly............you were honestly the best student in Voice-overs there I said it! You were always there! You had amazing ideas for creative voices and more! You had such energy! You always were so prepared! Just like wow! Now what I wanna say for your next step is constructive criticism is a thing. When I give you something like for Lord of The Rings don't make a sad face-"

I cut her off here because I told her, that because it was Lord of the Rings I was sad, because it is one of my other interests/obsessions passions etc. so it was why I would be a little like "Awww nooo damn it! this needed to be perfect!" to which she replies.

"Ohhhh okay then fair enough. But then...that's all really...KEEP IN TOUCH!"

And last to go was Christopher my Clown professor. He said:

"Yea I like listening to everyone talk so I can see if we're all on the same page. So now that I've heard everyone. I concur with everything that has been said. Umm, yea your Clown was great! I loved it. My next step for your clown is finding moments of stillness and just in general for you. I think yoga would help with that. And yea, you really got along and engaged with your audience, but don't be afraid to disagree with them either as a next step for your clown."

Then Brian my Auditions professor (who is the only one that isn't an Actor he is a Casting Director) with our last class with him said to me:

"What can I say about Anthony? you're wonderful to have in class. Keep going deeper with the material. I see you as an utility actor. Like Kathy Bates before Misery got her that award. You have a great work ethic so keep that up, otherwise, wonderful. Can't wait to see you at some of my studios."

And that's it. My final things to them was I thanked for them...for making my dreams come true, and I told them how much I loved them, and I will keep in contact with them. And as I headed for the door to call the next student in...I turned and said this to them...and this is also what I will be saying to you guys.

"Well everyone...See you in the movies!"
