** I wrote this post 2days just decided to post it now**
So it's 6am and I've just finished reading and had a quick chat to boo about my 20,000 word dissertation! I decided that I may do it on an International management in a Nigerian Firm.
My friends aunt is a manager in Shell based in Nigeria , so I already have one contact. I may change my mind anyways I'm not sure.
I've recently started watching 'Wrong women' which stars Ini Edo, Uche Jombo and Kalu Ikeagwu. I'm enjoying the film but because of my amount of reading I can't always watch a film in one day.
I absolutely love Ini Edo, Rita Dominic and Kalu Ikeagwu. At times their English can be a bit bad (Rita & Ini) but other than that they are great good actors.
Since I had to leave Theatre School to concentrate on my Masters , I have not been active. So I've decided I will start reading more and developing my skills by maybe running a drama department in my church. I 'll read more of Uta Hagen who is classified as "a profoundly truthful actress". Uta is now highly influential acting teacher at New York's Herbet Berghof Studio. her writings are excellent and I believe a lot of actors need to read her stuff especially Nigerian actors because she deals with 'realistic' acting as opposed to 'formalistic' acting. A lot of Nigerian actors are not realistic!!! It shocks me how some people get parts , not the starring actors but the supporting characters.Uche Jumbo at times acts over the top and does not come across realistic at all.
Ini and Rita are very good, on the male side Kalu is very good as well as Desmond Elliot. Jim Iyke is one of the people that also over exaggerate at times.
I'm just criticising them on their acting skills I don't have anything against them personally.
Acting took a lot of energy within, it takes you having to really bring out the correct emotions at the correct time. It's not a simple thing at all. I absolutely love acting. If you met me at first you wouldn't think i could act , well that's what i feel anyways.
So to get me back on track i will be Reading more of Uta Hagens books HOPEFULLY because my course can be a little time taking.
Semester 1 is nearly over, exams in January!!
Oh guys I'm going to Naija ....in December ...yes boo was so excited when I told him this morning! I want to register at the Nigerians Acting Guild when I go this time around and also hopefully meet some directors etc etc.
Last but least I thank God for his mercies and favour.
Have a lovely weekend people.
P.S I just found out that I got elected for the Student Representative for Master in International Business!!! I can't believe I won....!

@ Leggy yeah my bad spelt it wrong lol .. I haven't finished the film yet so I will def do that!
I've seen love my way ...It was good but a lil bit of a 'fairy tale. Yes Jim Iyke should stick to romance ..he is quite a good 'romancer'. Yes I have seen 'letters to a stranger' even that was a little bit of a fairy tale but it was good tho. :-)

Kalu is HAWT! Ini is good, I dont think Rita is versatile enough and ur rite about jim iyke and uche jumbo. Diction is a critical thing for all these actors.
