Presenting and stand-up go hand in hand I think, well maybe I have phrased that wrong. Presenting and competing go hand in hand, and compering is a progression on a stand-ups career so you see where I'm coming from. I'm thinking science, I'm thinking history and I'm also thinking popular-culture/modern issues in our society, I just need to think of a subject that I am passionate enough about, that I can work with.
I am learning how to use a camera next week, my Vlog will probably based on an upcoming project as a way of just maybe killing two birds with one stone, I definitely want to spice things up a bit. At the moment, Uni wise, things are getting interesting. As of the Monday just gone we (my group and I) are on a three week TV Acting project, we workshop for three hours a day in the afternoon but work continues for two or three hours solo study (and that is, real study/reflective writing/script learning/extra curricular reading, not just solo study as in 'time off'.) It's nice that we are being pushed, and it feels less like a Mickey Mouse course and more academic. Our teacher Erin (Erin Shanagher) is awesome, she is SO professional and passionate with her work and really does not take shit (but she has a sense of humour, so I can dig it.) Some of our lecturers have been a bit too 'thespian' if you know what I mean, a bit too 'Performing ARTS, darling' RADA'ish type head in the clouds business, which is not really practical for teaching. I want down to earth, real world advise for this cut-throat industry and Erin delivers that without stepping on your own vision and ideas.
So yeah, theres an update for you. I think tomorrow I will update on how the health stuff is going, I think I might have put on a bit of weight but I won't go into that just yet. Have a good'n!
Sounds good. I'm still debating the whole Vlog thing. :D

I just need to get over the whole 'my face on the internet' thing, as there is a certain vulnerability. That and it will not take precedent over my writing as I like that too much.
ReplyDeleteYes, I don't think a Vlog will ever replace the blog. There's something about using language to explain and articulate experiences, thoughts and opinions.
ReplyDeleteGet over it! Get it done. Sometimes you'll look and sound fantastic, sometimes you won't. That's a reality for anyone on video/tv. Even seasoned professionals.
