Willing....

Central School of Speech and Drama..yep, thats the place I want to go to and its come to that point in my life where I start looking for Drama Schools and Universities. Crazy how when your younger everything in life seems to go so slow and you want it to go faster, to get older, make your own choices, be your own boss and make your own decisions. Then you get older and everything seems to be happening and coming so fast and you got to not only make your own decisions but hopefully make the right ones, Its an exciting but nervous time for many people, some people will base their choices on taking risks(ME) and some wont...I guess the main difference is Fear.

So like since I was 14 I've been part of this young theatre comapny called Heat & Light at Hampstead Theatre, really reccommend it for people like 17 and under and the director Debra Glazer is someone I owe so much to she's amazing but thats another story. We would often go to Central Drama school sometimes to rehearse and I just fell in love with the place, I remember everytime I'd go there I'd have this big cheesy smile as if it was Christmas, seeing all these students walking in, out and around the building and thinking "wow they're so cool, I want to be like them, I want to come here" Got to the point where I rememebr like one day turning up to Swiss Cottage, and sitting outside Hampstead Theatre watching the Central School students walking out and talking to each other and some rehearsing, watched this for two hours, Crazy right? But I guess when you truly are inspired or feel like a feeling you don't feel often your body your mindset wants to feel that feeling again and that's what Central made me feel like I had that feeling with BRIT School too.

So I guess now its just putting in the work to make it there, be an OFFICIAL Student of Central School of Speech & Drama in September 2012 studying a BA in Acting. I will be applying for other Drama Schools such as RADA, Rose Bruford, LAMDA, RWCMD & Guildhall(Yeah yeah I know its alot and I am aware you have to pay for an audition), but I really want to and feel the need to go to Drama School & learn more skills and develop even more on the ones I have. I kind of think now the more people read my blog or the more people understand and talk to me they realise almost how deluded I am, how much of a dreamer I am. I reckon even some of my teachers think so aswell cause I got this love hate thing going on with diction so I'm always working EXTRA hard on that and some of them like 3/6 really think I can get into Drama school next year, but I reckon like the other 3 are like really? On your first try? LOL and I guess some of my friends well I don't know...they probably see me as like I said earlier just DELUDED someone that thinks too positive and like someone who isn't realistic....you know what I say? "being realistic is the most commonly traveled road to mediocrity"

With this blog done, its back to work/training....

Skill is being willing working at something until you’re either really good at it, or you die getting good at it. - Will Smith

Having a skill and not nurturing it and practising at it is almost like taking it for granted - Aubrey "Drake" Graham

P.S. Kirstin Scott Thomas went Central, do you know how AMAZING She is? one of the most underrated actresses ever, she is recognised but doesn't get enough credit, & so did Andrew Garfield he is an amazing young actor, might remember him from Social Network playing Eduardo Saverin, he has such a big future ahead of him. LOADS of amazing actors went central but I rate those two SOO highly
