In any art, there are times when you have to go out on a limb. This being said, when you do go out on a limb...and fail miserably...it feels pretty much like you spilled spaghetti sauce all down your new white shirt.
And when it comes to Theatre, going out on a limb can mean failing miserably in front of 500+ people.
However, you need to learn to live with no regrets.
One thing that can cripple any theatrical experience is running over a scene in your head and thinking, "Now, I could have done that. That could have been done with way more emotion. That was just tacky..." etc.
Be proud of the way you act. Be proud of the art that you put out there, even if you thought it might have failed. Don't shoot yourself in the foot, OR LOOK FOR ATTENTION, by saying that you could have done a scene or a line better. Act the way you act.
Regrets are just the things you dwell on. Everyone else has already moved on.

An Overture, I Suppose
I am actress.
However, this doesn't mean that I am ultra-experienced, or some sort of theatrical sage or even exceptionally talented at acting. It's something I JUST LOVE TO DO.
I'm Mijo Buiskool-Price, I'm from Washington State and a senior in high school. If auditions are held, I will try my best to be there.
My intention here is not to talk about what I am doing in my theatre life exactly, it's mostly intended to be a tool for anyone who is on this path with me. I am distressed when I am at rehearsal sometimes and the people I work with aren't acting like actors are supposed to act. I don't even mean onstage. I mean offstage.
I want to try my hand at working a revival in the world of theatre. For although our job is to be fake, it should be our intent to become more real.
