First of all, I love acting. Drama class is amazing, and super fun. I'm more confident now at school, and I feel having a easier time expressing myself.

Acting Tip!
============
Build A Character

Think what the person would have for breakfast, what her / his name is, ( If character didn't have one ) and sense what his / her emotions are. Spend a day at the mall, for instance. Observe different people, and their characters. We often express our selves with body motion, more so speaking. For instance, watch a hobo eat a hamburger. Is he slouching? Or, is he eating like a gentlemen in a suit? Think, and build a character.
