Blogue d'un québécois expatrié en Angleterre. Comme toute forme d'autobiographie est constituée d'une large part de fiction, j'ai décidé de nommer le blogue Vraie Fiction.

Thinking about acting again
I know I mentioned a few days ago that I missed singing. Well, I miss acting too, and I might actually act upon it. Nothing has been decided yet. I have been on the stage before and I don't think I will go back there any time soon, but there is a local organisation giving acting classes and I might have a go at it. I am far from sure yet, as I enjoy having my evenings free now that I work full time. I did acting workshops in the past, back when I was unemployed in Montreal and still uncertain about my career path, wanting to act and hoping vaguely that something might come out of it. I never went further than amateur interest, but it was great fun. If I ever take those classes, it would be a different experience, at least in one aspect: I would act for the first time in a foreign language. Somewhat scary, but I am very tempted.
I'm always impressed by anyone who has the guts to get up and act. That is one 'art' that I will NEVER attempt, let alone master. I despise being in front of people. I'm a good public speaker when I HAVE to be...but I'd never ever do it by choice! I think you should do it. As the Nike ad says...just do it! :o)
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of acting but I know I wouldn't be able to do it. At least not very well. Like Wendy, I dislike performing in front of large groups. I've taught large classes, but somehow, that's different. If you decide to go for it, good luck! And remember to post about it :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your encouragements. I should keep you posted.
ReplyDeleteI remember hearing about earlier performances!
