I stopped drama as soon as I could; I'm horrible at it. I ended my final year in drama with a 62%... XD;
 
I've never taken Drama, which is probably a good thing XD; I'd probably fail that class like, right away. Plays and stuff are just so boring to read in my opinion, and performing in front of an audience is just.... frightening to me :x I'd choke up and die right there on stage.
 
Drama was fun at my school probably because we had a cool teacher. She was like a kid herself. She would swear and let us watch comedy shows like the office and whose line is it anyway in class. The best was our final project where we got to do a play in front of our high school. Everyone forgot there lines and it turned out horrible though because our class had a lot of troublemakers in it. (not me though:badsmile:) I like to stand up in front of people and make them laugh by the skits we had to do in class so it was one of my favorites. I got 100percent in the class
 
I liked drama, I just didn't like the fact of being in front a crowd of people. :<

I was fine when we were practicing and preparing, but when we had to perform in front of people, I just... froze.

Yay for stage fright. D;
 
Ugh stage fright suckss. Even if you're great at something, having stage fright just makes you worse, because if you've got stage fright, you have low self-confidence. Then you get all these ideas worked up in your head about what might happen, and what'll happen if those things happen, etc etc. It ends up being such a huge psychological thing, but usually when you start doing whatever it is you have to do on stage, it starts getting a natural flow and you start having fun doing it.

Afterwards you wonder why the eff you were ever scared in the first place. XD
 
As much as I don't like drama, I love improv, for some reason. XD; I love watching improv and I love doing improv. Actually, I find I act better when I have no plans for what I do, no script or anything. o_o

Does anyone here like doing improv as well?
 
omg in ninth grade I did an improv project with some friends. We had to present it in front of anyone who attended it out of the entire school, and they'd vote for which improv skit was better. In the end, my team won \o/ it was a really fun experience. But again with the stage fright.. XD;
 
Dude, our entire performance art class (or drama or...whatever the hell else you want to call it :<) is pretty much just all improvisation. It's fun and everything, but none of us ever really seem to know wtf we're doing. I mean, I basically just took it as a filler-class, seeing as my school doesn't really offer too many other electives, outside of a foreign language.

Last year for our final project we just kinda put together this retarded little skit that we made up in a timespan of about 30 minutes, about "super slick, wicked awesome cop," and an apathetic criminal who just didn't...care about anything ._.

The Showdown :D

...Yeah, I know it sucks. We all did, actually. And no, that kid Jeff at the beginning isn't actually mentally handicapped, he just likes to pretend he is. Oh, and try to see past the sucky camera-angles. And my total lack of enthusiasm :'D

...I can gladly say that this year's drama class is going way more successfully.

Edit:...Oh, and for the record, i had a really, really bad headache in that first scene.
 
Ah' at my old school my drama teacher hand picked people from her drama classes to be in an elite imrpov troop, and I was picked 8D

By the end of our lessons we competed with other schools it was sick. We had judges and stuff, it was awesome. We mostly had a winning record, sadly we lost a few of the non - freindly improv meets.

Fun stuff.
 
Actually, I'm gonna be filming something with some friends on the weekend for school. I'm a crappy actress, so we'll see how it's actually gonna turn out... XD;

Last weekend we did some improv instead of working on our project though, and the results were actually really good. I guess our confidence goes up when we're making it up as we go?

I think all the fun of improv is that you start to feel more confident on stage simply because of the fact you're not scripted, and you are not expected to be perfect. Personaly I feel more free, and loose when preforming improv due to it's flexibility.
Click to expand...

Exactly :D! It's a lot more fun, too, because you can do whatever you want without having to remember a script. I feel the exact same way you do whenever I do improv for the same reasons~
 
Is this a script or reality because I hate reality. I believe that TV and stage should be scripted and played out and not real people. That's what real life is for.
 
Improv has been an important part of the dramatic arts for centuries, I'd say. :| Just because it isn't scripted doesn't mean it's not good--it just takes a different kind of talent.
 
To me it does. Survivor is the worth TV show ever, if not one of the worth. I will not pay to see real. I'm in real. This is real. I don't watch real only fake because real is boring and things like TV shows and video games are met to be fake. Like Cartoons. Cartoons are getting to be more real too.
 
Survivor's not improv, though. :| There's a difference between reality television and improvisation.
 
I love improv! Though I don't know much about improv acting, I've done a bunch of improv dance and stuff and it's amazing to do, feels great, and amazing to watch :3
 
Is improv doing what every you want. That's not acting it playing around. I thought improv was another way of saying improve.
 
Nah, it's short for improvisation.

And it is acting, at least a form of acting. Improv is when you make it up as you go along.

It's often the best solution when you forget a line or something, so you don't freeze or collapse and ask to start over again. << It's annoying when people do that.
