Alan Strang Gives Some Advice

Hello there...it's me, the essentric, horse-loving, farm boy, Alan Strang from Equus (My friends call me Bryant). Acting in Equus was a HUGE challenge for me. All of it would have been another fling if it weren't for Melissa, our director.

Now, as you can see, my friends and I are performing a series of comedic short plays by David Ives. I am involved in two of them, as an actor, and my lovely Eri and I are working together on the set (I assure you...we will blow your socks off).

Now for the advice part...
A very good teacher once told me,
You need three things in this world if you want to be a good, successful actor:
1. Passion
2. Talent
3. Luck

In my opinion, you just need two: Passion and Luck.
As an aspiring actor, I am very passionate about theatre and film, and it is this same passion that has kept me going about being a successful actor one day. It is the most important of the three. Without it, you will not last long.
Luck...well...you just need it to meet the right people, to give the right impressions, to grasp the right oppurtunities...etc...
Talent...yea...kinda important. It is a lot easier to do anything if you have the talent for it. There are some things you can't acquire through skill and practice alone, but if you have passion and a good amount of acting skills, you'll get pretty far.

Ok, a little extra some'in some'in for you theatre goers out there:
1. You don't have to be EXACTLY like your character if you can't. You just have to understand that people like that exist, and of course you have to know why they do what they do.
2. If opening night went well, chances are it will get to your head on the second night. Don't let it! Treat every performance like it is your last. You can only get better, not worse.

Well...so much for my rambling. I hope you guys will come and watch us perform. Performance dates are 11th-13th of July, at 8.30pm on Friday and Saturday, and 3pm on Sunday. Oh, it will be peformed at Sunway University College's Roof Top Theatre, 4th Floor.
Now, I know what you're thinking. "I'll try to make it if I can...I guess."
Wrong! You will!
#1. It's a comedy.
#2. It's free!
#3. It took me a long time to write this.
#4. It's free! :)
