***I'm so very sorry that I forgot to add this onto my character sketch, but its my favorite question so I decided that I'd just do another post for it. don't hate me!!***
WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?
Thats a good question, I've never taken a drama class before in my life because my parents think that its a waist of my time & energy. and clearly if I were a child prodigy I'd be on broad way by now. or at least be President of drama club instead of VP, so why?
I can't tell you why a simple melody on a piano can move me to tears, and like wise, with just a phrase, or even a word, I can be persuaded into a deep contemplation that may change my entire out look on life. I have no idea why I'm so comforted by the fact that I feel like my every single flaw is being magnified when I'm on stage, yet the minute I step foot off that stage I go back to being a typical teen aged girl who thinks that her every flaw will be the death of her. I guess its because it makes me feel like I'm important, like I'm worth something more than what being an average girl has to offer. I mean, what gives me, awkward 16 year old Savannah Leigh Thorne, the right to command the attention of 10, 15, 100, maybe even a thousand people who are more than twice my age and certainly much wiser than I. And sure, I could pull the cliche 'because its the only place I belong, because I love it, because its my passion' I mean, all these things are true.. but its more than that. Honestly, have you ever thought about it? as actors we are at the disposal of perfect strangers. who wants to put themselves through that? I do. why? I guess because I can. truthfully, I have no idea. maybe there's some deep meaning behind the whole thing that will be revealed to me when I'm old, maybe I'm just mentally unstable, or maybe I'm thinking about this way to hard and the answer is simply because I just love it. But when you think about it: who really gives a crap WHY your doing this? the fact of the matter is that you ARE doing this:

you ARE acting,
you ARE on stage,
and you ARE enjoying it.
and I don't know about you, but I plan on enjoying it for the rest of my life.
