Josh Out



Acting class was a great experience this year. I am really looking forward to doing it again in the future. The clas taught me a lot about show business and the struggle of making it as a actor. Everyone one in the class is extremely talented and I felt a little behind everyone as far as my acting abilty and posture on stage.

I tended to keep old habits of slouching and moving around too much when I am not supposed to. This can be fixed by more practice. In all our projects this year I felt I progressed in each play. I feel like ms G and the students really helped me a lot with my skills. I feel like I can take my acting to the next level one day.

I look the part of an actor. I have all the things that are required to be successful. It's now just a matter of time and with the right guidance I can do something special in the industry. I hope to do big things with acting one day.

I challenged myself to be the actor possible. I don't think I really reach my full potential yet. I think I can benefit from more time in acting class and take the class again next year!  It has been a great 6 months since we started and I feel like it'll only be better in the future in acting class


I accomplished some of my goals of becoming more vocal and projective. I think this will transfer onto the football field. Acting has helped me make new friends with new people. Acting has been a great experience and I hope to take on with me in my life.

Play Review



The Cheshire Academy comedy I saw Friday night was hilarious. The jokes were about things me and the audience could relate too as young people. It was really funny and I had a great time attending the play.  Everyone did a great job in remembering their lines which made each skit enjoyable to watch. I also enjoyed seeing my fellow classmates in the play. John, Jack, Will, and Abbey all did a wonderful job. I really like watching my older pears act and learning from them in the audience. I hope one day I can be as good as there are.

The play was on Friday night. It went late and was very enjoyable for me. I met up with some of my friends and we watched the show together. We enjoyed seeing the people we go to school with acting on stage. The jokes were all about things we as young people can relate to such as Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton or snapcaht or Instagram. It really caught our everyday life as a whole.

My mother was kind of confused in some of the skits but once I explained it to her she found how it is funny to the young generation. The songs were we sung and the dances were well prepared. It was a good show overall.  I really enjoyed watching the show. I hope I can act in a Cheshire Acadmey play one day.

The roasts towards teachers were also very funny. Mr Porter and Ms Minahan are 2 of my teacher and they were in attendance of the play. It was very funny. The imitations of the teachers were great too on to how they looked and dressed. Mr Porter and his cats were also very funny and I found it funny how everytime Mr Porter got roasted he would laugh like we all know he does. It was a great pleasure of mine to attend the Cheshire Academy comedy.

Blog 9 Hamilton




In the Hamilton project I am Luarens a man that was Alexander Hamilton right hand man. Laurens has three lines in the rap where he says how he died for Alexander Hamilton, and how he came from nothing to make something from his life. Lauren's has a unique perspective on Alex Hamiltom's life. He was very close to him, and the song features the patron that ended up killing him. Hamiton has been a fun project and I look forward to performing it very soon.

Abbey has done a great job with her project. She keeps us all on task, and focused in acting class. It has been fun and I really look forward to keep my acting career going after this class. I feel that I have a lot of talent in acting. I have the look, and the outgoing attitude that needs to go along with it. I can't really see myself in musical theater. I don't really have a good singing voice. I do however enjoy the Alexander Hamiltom project.


I like the project too. It has been really fun, and exciting to sing. I don't think I have what it takes to pursue singing tonigh. I feel like I don't have the rhythem that is required to sing. I feel like acting class has also helped me with my dancing. Before this class I was very stiff in the hips. Now I feel like I've opened up a bit more. I also feel like the breathing exercises help me when I do stranious exercise.

Our class really likes the project as well. We all talk about it outside of class. Ever time k see John or Will they always ask me if I've been looking at my lines and if I remember the steps in the song. Acting class has been a lot of fun up to this point and I hope to see everyone comitue acting next year.

Individual Proposal



My Acting Propsal

For my individual proposal for our acting project would be a freestyle rap including me coming up with a rap that dished everyone in this class. The disses would be funny and not taken to heart.  I would do this for my project becuase it would benefit my acting and improv skills. Freestyle rap is when you come up with rhymes on the spot. It helps with English skills as well as working the brain to come up with rhymes. It would be a fun project because it would involve people in the class. They would think it is funny because I would say goofy things about them.

Freestyle rap would help me become a good actor by improving my vocabulary and coming up with catchy things to say. The beats to freestyle rap are usually already know so a lot of people would enjoy the project. A lot of actors are very intelligent and have very strong minds to memorize all of there lines. I think learning something in a musical way can help me better understand regular lines as well.   I believe everyone would enjoy my performance, and think it would be funny.

I would choose to do a rap because I think it would be really fun, like Alexander Hamilton has really fun as well. I liked the Alexander Hamilton rap part so I think a rap would be another good project. The disses I would come up with would be more funny than personal, and no one would take it to heart.

I feel if I were to perform a freestyle rap it would lighten up the black box. It would be funny. John performed a diss before and everyone was laughing a lot. It seemed like something I would try and do for myself.

Inception.



We finished inception today. I felt very confident in my role as Arthur. We got to watch the finished   Cheshire Academy productiom of Inception in class today. The film looked really good, and everyone had a good time watching it. The scenes were funny to us because we spotted everyone's flunders.The camera angles could have been better produced. We really couldn't see everyone in the shot sometimes. Also  the memorization of lines wasn't as crisp as I would of wanted to be. Overall it was a very fun project and I enjoyed it a lot!

What I could of improved on is my facial expressions and movement. I still look stiff I'm front of the camera and not really comfortable. Which is suprising because in my other projects I have done very well in that, and have not had this problem before. I think it had something to do with the fact that Inception is a hard movie to interpret and there were many scenes where no one was really sure who had the next line because there was no give away in the previous line.  I think I looked kind of zoned out on film as well. What I thought looked like intense stares at other characters really looked like dazed and confused beciass of the camera angles. 😂

Overall I think my classmates and I could have benefited from a easier movie to start off with in the beginning of our acting career. But we met the challenge head on and nailed it. My fellow classmates are very skilled and I could tell they put a lot of work into their scenes as did I. We had a lot of fun doing this and I hope all of us stick with acting class in the future so we can really take our skills to the next level one day.

Blog 8




Inception is going good. I memorized all my lines, and I am really feeling confident in my ability to play Arthur in the Cheshire Academy production of Inception. My classmates are also doing a good job with their lines as well. Everyone is doing a good job in the movie. John is doing a great job of producing the movie as well.

I was a little skeptical of playing Arthur in the beginning because I saw he had a lot of lines, and I was not sure if I was going to memorize it all. But I can see now how a movie is different from a life production in the play industry. In the film we are able to shoot one scene a day so all we need to do is memorize that part for that day. This is very convenient.


 I see myself now playing Arthur really good. I think I am capturing the flow with how I am talking as Arthur. Arthur is a difficult character to play. He has many different personalities and he seems very confident in each of his scenes. I believe I have the character in my grasp now. I feel that I have come along way since the beginning of acting class and I think you can see that in all of my pieces from the beginning of the year to now.

Inception has been both a hard and real fun project. I really like my role in the film. I feel that I will only improve with my acting skills in the future. My fellow claasmates are doing a great job as well on being professional, and being supportive of the cast. John is doing a great job with producing the Cheshire Academy production of Inception. We had a lot of fun doing this movie!

Inception Blog 300 words



My character is Arthur in inception. Arthur is Cobb's right hand man and whenever Cobb needs something done, Arthur is by side. Arthur is very confident in inception. He has mastered it as a whole. Arthur has a strong voice in the movie, and it shows his confidence when he talks. By listening to his voice in the movie you can tell he knows what he is talking about.

What I add to the scene is a strong voice that makes people agree to what I am saying as Arthur. I feel when I'm on stage I have a good voice that protrays my character. Arthur is a complex individual. While I was watching the movie I picked up that he has almost different body lanague in every scene. This will be a challenge but I think I'm more than capable to tackle it head on.

Something that I need to work on is memorizing my lines and what are the follow up line before my actual lines. The movie Inception is very complicated to understand, and the script is also very hard to read. The lines come up abruptly with no indication. You really need to Memorize your lines and your partners lines before yours. This will be a fun challenge to really improve my acting skills. It has been hard to find time to run through my lines for the Cheshire academy production of inception, mostly due to lost of other school work that has been piled on me this week. Despite that I have found time to look at my lines every night for about 30 minutes. I don't want to let my fellow class mates down by not knowing my lines.

Inception has been a lot of work. It has also been a lot of fun. The class seems to be having a lot of fun with the project. I look forward to seeing the finished project of inception and how far along we have come since we have joined acting class back in January.

Fight Me: Staring Josh & Cade



Cade and I did a great job of performing our skit. It was funny and enjoyable to watch. We had a time performing as well as practicing it and learning our lines. Our skit was about a small kid named Tiny being bullied by a bigger kid named George and the Tiny gets the girl that George was tiring to impressive by beating up Tiny.  This was a funny scene also because Cade and I are about equal in size. This made the scene ironic. Cade is a skillful actor with lots of potential. I learned a lot from him with our time together. I feel and believe we both had a great performance and it would be good if we keep working together I future.

My performance was funny. I used a pretend voice to make myself appeal wimpy. I was also acting like a kid that is small and had no will to fight. If I was put in this situation in real life, I would have retaliated. My projection is great. I have a good stage voice even when I'm talking in a funny way. I believe I am funny when on stage and I think comedy is some thing I can see myself doing in the near future.Some things I can improve in the fourth quarter is not smiling during my scenes. In some instances when I smiled the audience picked it up which made it not as realistic, and not professional. This can easily be resolved with more practice. I am still very new to acting. I think I have a lot of talent in acting and think I can pursue it one day. I can also work on more body movement and more actions and not just standing around.

Cade and I have a great chemistry while we are acting together. We are both on the same page. He helped me with my lines. I also helped Cade with his lines. While practing we went over our movements and where on the same page with everything we did. Cade showed me what he wanted to do with the the scene and we incorporated with the  things I wanted to do with the scene. Some things we could of made better were being more active and facing the audience at all times. Cade and I overall both revived good grades on this project. I would like to be paired with Cade more often because I think he can help me with my acting abilities, as also I believe I can help him as well.

What do you think is most important thing in scene


For this next project in acting class is going to be a interesting task to preform. I am going to be playing a small wimpy kid that is pushed around by a bigger bully. This is funny and ironic because I am not a weakling and I am not small. I could easily fight back but my character chooses not to. My character see,s to be younger and less mature than his counterpart in the scene. At the end of the act my character ends up getting the girl's phone number that the bully was trying to get by impressing her by beating me up and pushing me around.

What's important for me to do in this scene, is act wimpy, scared, and very mellow. My character is different than how I act in real life. I am a strong, energetic, loud person, so it will be fun to try acting this piece. It will be a fun challenge. I also need to work on more body movments and make myself look more into it than just standing still and going through the motions. I think I can do this, and bring my acting skills higher. It will be good practice for me.

It is important for me to take this seriously so I can get the best grade possible.  I can easily do the bare minimum and still get a decent grade for the project. I have a good talent for memorizing things and can get through it with very little practice. But, I want a good grade and will do the most I can do to make this a reality. Also by practing Im better off because acting is something I want to pursue one day.

I will work on this by practicing daily while I am home and in school.  I will be running through my lines every night. I will move around like my character would in class. I'll also ask someone else to run through the lines with me so I can here many interpretations in the scene. I feel if I take all steps necessary I can make this price my own, and get a great grade in acting class.

Blog 4 Flash Scene


Jaden and I did a scene from the hit new TV show called The Flash. The scene we decided to do for The Flash was where the reverse flash a.k.a Doctor Harrison Wells reveals him self to Cisco one of the main characters as being the killer of the Flash's mother. I was the reverse flash, and Jaden was Cisco. The scene in the TV show was taken place in STAR labs which is where the Flash and Doctor Harrison Wells work together in a mutual friendship. While one of star labs employees finds out Doctor Wells secret, Wells himself enters the lab in dramatic fashion.

In our scene, the Reverse Flash stabs Cisco right through the heart killing him instantly with his knife that was stashed in his back pocket. It was a dramatic scene, and we tried to stick as close to the TV version  as possible. It was a good learning expirence to see where we both can benefit in  acting. This was the first scene Jaden and I ever peformed with sound and lots of movement. I believe Jaden and I did a fantastic job of remaking the scene in our own unique way.


 After watching the scene after we filmed, I found that it both looked smooth, and both Jaden and I went thought their lines effortlessly. Memorizing my lines was easy for me. I believe memorizing football plays definitely helped. Jaden had a great performance as well. He showed how he was capable of memorizing words he may not have have been fimilar with before. Jaden was also a great partner with a great attitude, and I could see myself working with him again. For first time actors going through our first scene ever, I think we showed a lot of promise. If acting is something that we both wanted to pursue I think it is something that could both be accomplished and make a career out of it.

Some things that can be improved is body language, and facial expressions. Looking through the film there were many instances were the scene was found as dull for our audience. I think this can be improved by more practice which will come in time. Our scene was also a bit on the shorter side which was good for memorizing our lines as first time actors, but was also bad because our grade could of been better if the scene had been longer.

Acting class has proved so far to be a great deal of fun, but also a lot of work. It is really good because I feel that I can build off of this class and become a talent actor one day, but also build connections with the people in the class. Connections are very important in acting just like in anything else. My goals is to use this class to become the best actor I can be. This first scene we did is a good baseline to see how much Jaden and I will improve over the next 3 year!

Once On This Island Review


This last Saturday night my family and I went to see the Cheshire Academy production of "Once On This Island." The play was great and seemed like a lot fun for the actors. I had a good time watching my fellow classmates on stage. They are all skilled actors with a lot of potential to pursue it as a career.

The life of Ti Moune was greatly portrayed  in the live performance. It started out as her being a youngling  and growing into a women over the time of a song. Ti Moune lived among the pescants before being chosen by the gods to nurse a rich man named Daniel back to health.  Ti Moune and Daniel fell for one another even when everyone condemned their love for each other. With the support from no one and the arrangement for Daniel to be predestined to marry another girl that is not Ti Moune, she was betrayed and fell into a deep depression. Ti Moune was given an opportunity  to save her life by killing Daniel and getting over her lost love. She ultimately chose his life over her own feeling her unreturned love was to much to bare for the rest of her life. She eventually died, and the gods pitied her casting her spirit into a tree where Daniel's kids would play once born.

The Cheshire Academy production of "Once On This Island" was one of the better high school plays I've seen. Cheshire Academy has a great drama program with skillful actors. The live music correlated  with the actor's movements perfectly. The band was so good that I actually thought it was a recording other than a live performance. The stage looked great. Everyone could see the effort that was put out into making the background look as good as it did.

The stage crew made it on and off the stage when switching scenes effortlessly. Sometimes I couldn't  even tell that they switched the stage setting until afte the lights were back on the stage. Two things Id try and improve were the memorization of lines/clarity while speaking, and making sure that some scenes are acted properly. Their were times where the audience found flunders in the actors performance and memorization of lines. And lastly their was one scene in the play that I felt was supposed to be romantic and serious but the audience interpreted it as funny which kind of threw the whole genre of the play off from being a romantic drama to a kind of romantic comedy.

Other than those to negative factors, I'd give the play a solid 7 out of 10 for a rating. Leaving room for improvement, but also appreciating the hard work and effort that went into producing the play. I give the producor/director amble credit for the performance and encouraging all the actors to do the best job possible. I would definitely recommend the play to anyone that wanted to see a good high school play showing. I would also definitely go see another Cheshire Academy production as soon as another comes out.

Script for scene in The Flash

Cisco: Barry, I think Doctor Wells is really not who we think he is. I need to find out what went wrong that night we captured the reverse flash and find out how he really  escaped. Can you cover for me?

Barry: sure I'll tell wells you went out of town to run an errand.

Cisco walls down the hallway to the trap they sent and captured the reserve flash. Cisco works on a computer. 


(Cisco watches the holograms) : Doctor Harrison wells we meet at last. Cisco plays it over again. : Doctor Harrison wells we meet at last. 

Cisco: It was a hologram wells tricked us 

Wells: hello Cisco your incrediblally clever. 

Cisco: your him the reverse flash. 

Wells: We never properly introduced. I am Eboard Thawne. 

Cisco: Thawne... like Eddie Thawne. 

Wells: let's call him a distant relitave. 

Cisco: you were there that night when Barry was a kid. You killed Nora Allen why? 

Wells: it was never my intention to kill Nora. I was there to kill Barry. 

Cisco: Your his friend. Your teach no him how to go faster. Why? 

Wells: I'll tell you why Cisco. I have been stuck in this time for 15 long years. And the flash, and the flashes speed. is the key to my way home. to the future.  And no one will prevent this from happening.

Cisco: I can help you

Wells: your smart Cisco. but not that smart. 

This is hard for me. Because have become quite fond of you especially you. And in many ways you have shown me what it is like to have a son. 

Wells: forgive me

First Ever Monologue

Link to first ever monologue: https://youtu.be/-eUJqRT5C5w

My first ever monologue was both a fun and anxious expirence. I never peformed a skit in my life and it was a very fun experience. I think monologue is one of the harder projects that I will do in this  acting class, because you are on stage by yourself and you have no hint at  your next lines coming from another characters dialogue. My monologue was difficult because I was never truly able to find my characters place in the reenactment... I could not relate to the boy portrayed in my monologue  because I never as a kid wanted to be a hero. I was always quite as a kid, and I only became more outgoing recently. I think once time took its course and I became more mature I broke out of my shyness, but that still didn't help when I was trying to act as a confident younger boy around age eleven.

From watching the other students act, I pulled things out that I liked and incorporated it into my own piece. I think it was good that I received emails on how to make it better and took that to my advantage. My classmates were very helpful and it made me look at my character from another angle. At first I thought my character was around age six or seven, but then I realized after reading the emails my peers sent me, the monologue I was trying to grasp my knowledge around seemed more mature than what a six year old may say. The problems faced in my monologue would occur more in junior high or late elementary school.  The emails were both positive and negative, but the negative was put in words where it did not hurt my feelings and made me take it into consideration other than blocks it out.

What I could of done better  was practice more in front of the mirror. I read my monologue only about ten times. By then, I had memorized it and started practicing in front of a mirror. My projection was always solid and confident, but my movments could of been better with more practice. I also did not practice in front of a crowd other than my time in class. Practicing in front of people could of better prepared me for when I actually needed to present in class. Therefore with the lack of practice in front of people I got a little nervous in front of the students and teachers while performing my monologue. I knew my lines before the presentation and rehearsed them every night but when I got up in front of everyone I got nervous. Causing me to forget a couple of limes during the presentation. That will go away once I get more practice, I'm sure. Acting has been very fun, and challenging up to this point.  I have a passion for acting and I am not going to let one flunder hold me back.

Monologue

My monologue is about a little boy around age 13-14 who wants to be a heros, and tries all different things to become a hero. He is talking to himself in his room

PROTECTO

I've always dreamed of being a hero. I've tried everything to become super.  I let a spider bite me... no spider powers; just lots of itching.  I tried standing too close to the microwave oven hoping the radiation would change me.  Nothing.  And I got in trouble for making so many bags of popcorn.  But I took it all to school and had a popcorn party.  I was a hero that day. So I guess it kinda worked.

I love being a hero.  I love helping people.  I love making them happy.  And I hate bad guys.  I hate creeps who hurt people. 
There's this kid at school... he is always hurting everyone.  I am sick of him hurting us.  I just need those super powers.  I need something that will make him stop.  
(lost in thought) Maybe if I eat more of the school lunches.  They look radioactive.  If I get enough green hotdogs and brown ketchup in me... something is bound to happen. (nods in approval)
And I need a catch phrase like "gonna smoosh me a baddie"... and a cool costume... actually last time I was in the bathroom, I saw the perfect superhero name.  Protecto!  Instead of a telephone booth like superman, I could use a bathroom stall and those Protecto seat covers could be a cape... and make a toilet paper mask.  Nothing scares bad guys more than bathroom stuff.  (thinks then frowns)  Or maybe it will really make them want to give me a swirly.  I better rethink this.

The Longest Flight

 

  Our group performed a skit were four characters on a airplane all had problems that conflicted with the other three passengers building up to one epic fail that made the flight attendant give up. Our  project turned out to be very good with a great director and skillful actors that were determined to make a great film with both humor, and capturing the view of what it's like to be on a airplane were things constantly are going wrong. We had an experienced director that knew a lot, and guided us through the process of making our first film. Our group evenly paticipated in the movie and had a lot of fun making the silent movie.


From watching the other group peform I found there plot and setting easily detectable from the great acting shown on stage. There editing skills were unbelievable, and shot many different angles. Also there transition of music played a big part in their overall grade in the movie assignment. They had a funny twist at the end were they found a man dressed as a lady which was hysterical. The other group attacked the project from a different angle than we did which gave the movie project a different identity in both movies which I thought was great.

For my first performance ever I thought I overall did a good job. I am my own worst critic when it comes to anything I'm serous about especially football and now newly acting, and always know I can do better even if I did a good job to begin with. When rewatchimg the film I found my facial expressions were both goofy, funny and on point for the mood of the scene we were filming. I found my faults to be more movement based for example when reaching back to knock the water cup out of the flight attendent's hand was both obvious and delayed. I also had a tendency to slouch on stage while performing. Our group was determined to make a great short film, and I think that is just what we did. Our group was creative and everyone contributed to the making of the film.

What we could of done better as a group was staging and making the scene look more like a airplane. When I showed my mom the filming she got the gist of the film but it was hard for her to detect that we were on a airplane. Also could Have included more props and objects that contained words to give the audience a better idea of what was going on. Learning a few things from the other group, that they did well was move around a lot which made there film have more interesting.

Our group was determined to make a great silent film, and I think we did just that. Most of our actors and actresses had never even been in front of a camera before, and did a great job for being first time actors and actresses. It was a great experience and I really hope that we have more trips to the Blackbox.

My Story To Be Continuned...



  Hello. For everyone that does not know me my name is Josh Comune. I am a freshman here at Cheshire Academy. I am originally from northern New Jersey were I was born and raised. I came to Cheshire Academy because I was recruited for football to play here for the Fighthing Cats. The opportunity presented itself as my best option for achieving my dreams and goals. I want to go off to a major Division I college football program on a full scholarship, and having my ultimate goal to becoming an quarterback in the NFL. It's been a journey and a half already and I am both scared, anxious, and  excited to seeing what the future holds in my althletic career.

Now to be completely honest I have absolutly no expierence in theater, acting, singing, or anything in that nature. I have never even been in a play. What made me want to join this class is I remember when I was younger around age 6-7 I heard a commercial add on the radio quite a few times. It was about auditions for kid actors in my local area. I always though it would be awesome to go into school after performing a Scence on a real movie and having all my friends watch it. Although I never pursued it, it was always there in the back of my mind. Everyone who is involved in football always tells you to have a second plan if for some reason it does not happen for you. That being if your not good enough, fast enough, strong enough, big enough, tall enough, or even having a career ending injury you should always have a back-up plan. I have always been fond of acting when I was a kid, just never took an initiative to pursuing it. If I were to pursue acting I could see myself in two type of films. Sitcoms like George Lopez, or Two and a Half Men, and thriller action movies such as The Fast and Furious, or Mission Impossible. Something in that nature. I am also interested in broadcasting and could see myself on Sportscenter or the NFL Network.



What I plan to get out of this class is experience. To see if acting is really something I would want to do. I have some pretty appealing traits that I think could suit me well in acting. I can learn a football playbook and memorize things pretty clearly. I am comfident in myself, and I have a pretty good
stature and build as far as physical attributes go for my age. So I am lead to believe through myself that I am capable of pursuing acting. 3 Goals that I have for this class is to maintain A+ average, See what I'm really capable of in the field of acting, and to have fun while doing it.
