How to Take A Selfie with A Dog (Assignment)

03-23-2020


 This is my sweet boy, Gus! I adopted him from the Humane Society in October 2019, so we will have been together for six months this April. As you can see, on his own, he is very photogenic. But when it comes to selfies...

...not so much. I find that the best way to take a selfie with him is to distract him with the squirrels outside.

5 Things I Learned This Semester (Assignment)

05-01-2020 It's hard to believe that, after spending my entire life in school, I am about to be finished with my college education. Sure, I'd love to go to grad school in the future, but for right now, I am essentially done with school. It's strange, especially given the current circumstances. It seems that now is a good time to look back on my classes for my final semester of my undergraduate education, so without further ado, here are five things I learned this semester in The Sounds and Silence of Laughter:  I learned more about the process of writing comedy through The Comic Toolbox . I’ve always liked to write, but comedic writing has always intimidated me—what if what I think is funny is just weird or boring to everyone else. During quarantine, I’ve been writing creatively more than I have in years, and I’ve poked around The Comic Toolbox for tips, even if what I write is for my eyes only. There are some truly wild and hilarious YouTube videos out there. I love...

In the Recording Booth (Experience #1)

02-14-2020 For several years now, I have been interested in voice acting and voice-over work. I have taken classes dedicated to the subject, I've taught myself basic sound editing skills so I can submit self-taped auditions, and most recently I have been taking an independent study on voice-over and voice acting. As a part of this study, my professor helped me and my fellow student in the study set goals for things to accomplish this semester to help us grow as voice-over artists. Our first goal was fairly straight-forward: create a commercial demo reel.  A demo reel consists of about a minute to a minute and a half of audio showcasing an actor in different audio clips. In this case, the demo reel would be geared towards commercials for television or the radio. We scheduled a time and date to use a recording booth at the KTCU station, and got right to work. There was plenty to do before we set foot in the recording studio, after all. We had to find bits of copy, or text for us ...

Laughing in Rehearsal (Uncontrollable Laughter #1)

02-24-2020 I find that every time I return from rehearsals for my current show, Miss Molly , I am in a brighter mood, and I am certain that laughter is a major contributor to that. While ultimately the goal of our rehearsals is to produce a successful play, that doesn't mean we aren't allowed to have fun and enjoy ourselves. We laugh and joke with each other, and on occasion, the laughter doesn't stop. That very thing happened to me at rehearsal just the other day. Miss Molly is a comedy, so it is only natural that our characters, dialogue, and situations are laughter-inducing. The final act of the play sees one character, Aloysius, dressing up as another, Molly, in order to fool my character, Lady Houseington. In the midst of my character trying to determine which person is the real Molly and her daughter, another woman speaks up, Mrs. Manley, and asks me if I have considered that the two are actually twins. I am supposed to respond along the lines of, "I would r...
