The Method method

Dear MASAPers,

First of all, I apologize for my lack of newsletters. School and work have swamped me. (By the way, this is not the automated Mr. President that Travis referred to in previous posts. This is the real me. The automated me was created to try and fill the void created by my absence.) I’ve been stretched very thin. I've gotten 5 hours of sleep the past three nights in a row. Needless to say, I’m happy to have a short chunk of time where I can address you.

When I was in high school, I had the awesome opportunity to participate in several musicals. I loved it. Acting and singing were so much fun. Sadly, it didn’t last though. Like many things in life, we have to pick and choose our priorities carefully. So, since high school, I haven’t done any plays or musicals. That doesn’t mean that I haven’t found opportunities to do some acting, but it just hasn’t been quite the same.

I’m sure most (if not all) of you have had experiences with acting, whether it be in a play or simply in pretending to be someone else as a prank (like the one time I pretended to be a homeless deaf-mute, trying to hitch a ride). I’m also sure that most of us could always use a few pointers on how to become a better actor. So in order to facilitate that growth, I’ve enlisted the help of one of my favorite actors, Sir Ian McKellen:
