Hi, all. I went to Karen's Acting for Camera, last night, and finally had the 'penny drop moment. Bear in mind, this is my second round of classes and I felt extremely confident that come week 2, I'd be all over it. This wasn't the case. I was still demonstrating. The worst bit was not knowing why I kept defaulting to Acting with a capital 'A'. It was an incredibly difficult pill to swallow. I've always known when I'm not connected...but I always thought my confidence was to blame. But after watching other people being asked to relate to their monologues through a real experience of their own, I realised that my prep and approach were not even close. Line learning is a given, but instead of trying to imagine exceptional circumstances through imagination alone, associating a connection to something real, is what I feel will change everything for me. It's silly as I feel like a numpty for not knowing sooner...but we all work at different speeds. Anyways, I just thought I'd share my revelation. I'm, once again, having an incredibly difficult but rewarding experience but am never not looking forward to each week. Have a great week everyone. Ross

Hey mate, it’s not silly at all! Some people will struggle with this for weeks, others get it in week one. The execution of it is the tricky bit and then repeating it for different scripts with different circumstances. Never beat yourself up-that consciousness of ‘getting it wrong’ will just get in the way. Amazing that you’re enjoying the class again and 8 weeks is never enough-so it’s ace you get 16!!! Keep on keeping on! SN
