Student Actress
The course I am studying has not fulfilled my expectations in fact, I am quite upset that it hasn’t been great. I think this is largely due to the amount of people who have left the course. I have found that the college course has been difficult due to the amount of people leaving and not having the stability there. We started with about 20 people in the class and it has now gone down to about 8 people.
People have left due to certain circumstances. Some people found that there wasn’t enough singing, some not enough dancing and others just didn’t like the acting. A few people left because the courses did not fulfil their expectations and at times they felt as though the people on the other performing courses were valued higher than the part time course.
I am sticking to the course because I believe that if you want to succeed in any area of performing you have to be committed and not to give up no matter what it is. The courses success depends largely on the people studying. Even if you have a great tutor, great colleagues and promote it extensively, if your colleagues aren’t truly committed then the course will not live up to your expectations. If colleague satisfaction is low, or even standard, there’s not going to be any room for fulfilment. If, on the other hand, the course consistently rewards people with performance opportunities, allowing them more responsibility and the ability to fulfil their needs then you’re off to a good start.The more you give to the course, the more truthful you are, the more receptive to other’s needs and commit to the course the more fulfilled that you will be.
