Late Nights and Early Mornings: Part Two

 I have always loved watching performing artists, whether they be singers, actors, dancers, etc. I would look at them from a young age always so enthralled with their talent and their courage to be in front of people. As a kid I was always quiet, I still am but in no way as shy as I was then. Its actually quite strange how my shyness comes out now. I can be in front of an audience speaking freely and I will be calm and excited at the same time. But when I meet somebody for the first time I can be very quiet and shy. I suppose it could be considered reverse stage fright.  

 All performing artists have caught my attention, but the ones who have caught it the most have always been the actors. Just being able to fall in love or hate with those characters and once you find those few actors that just spark some interest, you begin to follow their career. Then some may continue to follow them through interviews and whatnot to find out what their really like, and through that you can see how truly talented they are by how different the person is from the people they portray. Those people inspire me. I want to work hard study my roles and blow people away at what I can do with what I am most passionate about. I have been told on a few different occasions that my energy changes when I begin to talk about what I am passionate about. There are two things at the moment that I am incredibly passionate about: (1) Acting and pursuing an education in the dramatic arts and (2) everything UK related. I can feel the energy change when I begin to talk about either of these things but its quite amazing the reactions that I have gotten based off of this change. Their reactions just fuel my passion even more, they validate the fact that I am extremely driven and will do almost anything to get me to where I want to go. 

 In two years I hope to do several things; gain a certificate in massage therapy, go back-packing through the UK and Europe, and last but not least, get into the American Academy of Dramatic Arts (AADA) in either Los Angeles or New York. I also want to possibly try to get into the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts based in London, this would be my main choice but a semester there is the same price as a whole year of school in the states. I will see if I can get the funds together for it but more than likely I will go to either AADA in LA or NY, and that's fine with me because no matter where I am, I will be doing what I love.

  This is me telling the world that I am ready to do what it takes to always be doing what I am passionate about. I am ready to show everybody what Hannah Philputt is made of.
