Being an ACTOR on Set of IDSA Show case(2022)

My time at IDSA)Identity School of Acting) gave me the opportunity to write and perform my first play. I was able to start acting on screen and many more. Today I'talk my experience training at IDSA.

IDSA(Identity School of Acting) is a part-time drama school founded by Femi Ognus in 2003. The school has helped many succeful actors such as John Boyega, Letitia Wright. The school also has it's own agent. I found out about IDSA when I was looking for acting schools in London. I first applied for online classes but didn'take it because of the time difference. I then again applied for the London acting school and got in, in 2022. Since then, I have been training there ever since but it was only this year during the summer I deffered because of work.

I moved to the UK to pursue a career in acting. I wanted a place where I was able to train intensively as an actor and learn new skills along the way. I ended up studying at university and training at the same time. Classes finishes pretty late and I didn't tell my mum what time do I get home. I had the chance to do a bunch of new things which includes acting on screen and writing my first play.

For my screen acting class, I had the chance to perform different scripts from popular TV series which included Riverdale. I learn a lot about myself in this class. I was able to teach myself how to break down a script and to know more about what I need to know about this characters. I was also able to operate on the cameras and work on  being a script supervisor.

At IDSA I was also able to perform my first play in front of other students and the vice president. My teacher created a theme and we had to find a script or write. I decided to write a play about ex-lovers having a conversation about an apartment which they bought together. At first, I wrote the play and it was very long so I had to cut and rephrase some parts of the script. I wasn't so sure at first whether it was a good idea to write but I then got feedback from my friends and they liked it. So I used that and performed my play.

Rehearsing it wasn't that bad but it went through a lot of edits. Me and my co-star edited some of the edits together and my teacher also edited some. The day of the performance came, I was excited to perform my piece in front of everyone. Once the performance was done, we got a speech from the vice president and it was an amazing experience.

The training at IDSA gave me the chance to perform in front of others and show my talent. I have grown as an actor since I 've been there. I have the chance to perform in front of agents which will help me improve myself and have the chance to get an acting break through. I am able to receive feedback from the president and understand what I can improve to make myself stand out.
