The Amazing Mel Churcher

I have just finished reading the brilliant book by Mel Churcher: A Screen Acting Workshop and it has great exercises and tips for an actor to do when preparing for an audition, or even to go on set.

There was a whole range of things that I had not thought about before, for example, engaging the whole body, the voice, being aware of your stance. It breaks everything down so you don't have to be nervous about how you should say a certain line and encourages you to find a unique point in yourself and use it to your advantage when on screen.

I would love to go on a workshop with Mel Churcher; this book has really thought me a great deal about my craft and I have loved every minute of reading it.

It's been an incredible read, for preparing for my course that I will be going on soon, at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School.

What an event, what a game!!!!!

I played in The BIG MATCH and it was a brilliant day. I missed it on Sky but I have had it recorded, so I cannot wait to get it on and watch the highlights of the match.
Apparently, my attempt of heading the ball was shown , can't wait to see what that was like!
Again, what an event, what a game, what a day :)

The Great Gatsby/ The Wolf of Wall Street

Finally, I am going to get to watch The Great Gatsby tonight on the BIG Screen. I absolutely love Baz Luhrmann as a director; I love all the colours in his films; the theatrical and dramatic acting, yet there is such realness to it. It really connects with me as an audience member.
Of course, there is the very talented Mr DiCaprio featured in the film, who has also worked with Baz Luhrmann before in the fantastic Romeo + Juliet along with Claire Danes.

I have always been a fan of DiCaprio, I feel as though he captures each moment within the character and scenario beautifully. He really brings the characters he plays to life. I would love to know the process DiCaprio goes through, from the script to getting into the character on set.
For Gatsby; DiCaprio said he read and re-read the novel by the American author F.Scott Fitzgerald. To study not just the character but the scene and the atmosphere.

I am really looking forward to see the no doubt theatrical performances by the actor/actresses and by the set itself tonight. Furthermore, while looking at some Gatsby clips, I came across The Wolf of Wall Street; directed by the wonderful Martin Scorsese, that is definitely another MUST SEE.

THE BIG MATCH 2013

What an inspiring event and for such great causes: Action for Children and Brain Tumour Charity. Met some incredible people and also played some football at the Madejski Stadium; running from the half way line to the goal is really hard; I only ran for 20 mins each half... imagine 90mins! I played for the Action for Children side, which won! WOOHOOO The whole event raised £50,000. All for a good cause.
