When I was just a little girl I wanted to become a model, but when I didn’t turn out to be “long enough” I said, “Ok, lets do acting”. But years passed by, I got confused and didn’t really decide anything at all. I was indecisive which wasn’t to any help. When I turned 16  I started doing acting again and just fell in love with it, and I have now loved it ever since. Of course there are days that I’m thinking if this is the right choice or not, but deep down I’ve always know that this is what I was made to do.

My heart belongs to something, it’s called acting is a post from: Jess the Actress

We did a theater production at school, we played brain cells. Random.

I graduated

Those time as an waitress. My audition went well, I can just hope for the best now. This is something I really want,  gosh. It would start a career for sure. But now it’s time for a concert at Landet!

I didn’t fail the audition, but did I make it? is a post from: Jess the Actress

So I think, and hope for that sake, is that my cousin is going with me to London. She and I haven’t met for 7 years but we have been talking non-stop since we met yesterday and we just find out every second that we are more alike than we would ever thought possible… We are almost like sister or, who knows?, soul mates???? !!!!!!! <3

No one would ever think THIS would happen, right? is a post from: Jess the Actress

It’s a hectic but really fun week coming together.

Wednesday: Casting for a commercial and monologue performance
Thursday: Casting for a humor show, watching a theater play performed by some of the people at my school, my cousin comes to Stockholm and will stay all weekend
Friday-Sunday: Hanging with my cousin, doing random things!

What a week this will be! <3 is a post from: Jess the Actress

I”ve started something that will not end, I’ve decided that some things never were meant to be and that I will do it in my next life.. Acting is my life, my joy, my peace, my heart, my heartache, it’s my soul, my everything.

Fun things, for life, for joy, for me! is a post from: Jess the Actress

Don’t hate me, ok? but I do dislike summer in so many ways. It’s descusting… Blää!

I had an audition this last Friday and I’ll perform in church on Wednesday :) I feel quite good about it now actually. I’m like the most self-critic person there is and now, finally, I’ve started recording my voice when I’m singing and it has imoroved so much since I started studying! Thanks M!

On Thursday I will fly to Finland with my mom, she will be there when I’m auditioning for a great acting school over there.

Wish me luck! Love, Jess

Audition, performance, joy is a post from: Jess the Actress

But now, it’s Friday, I will call my friend Friday aka FvS soon and I will see if I will be able to grab a coffee with her before I go to school. It’s been forever since I met her so if we met up I’ll be stoked. Tomorrow is the celebration of spring really being here (Swedish people tend to have to have something to celebrate so we can drink like crazy and wake up the day after saying; Well it was Valborg so it is okay).

Much love,
You one and only, Jess the Actress

Loving life! Shizzz is a post from: Jess the Actress

Making decisions. What will I do this fall? Will I turn around and walk away, to make a u-turn later on? Or will I walk the path that was chosen for me when I found acting? What would a different country do to me? Would it make me stronger, or would it fail me.

There are many paths to walk, many doors to open and many unknown moves. Maybe I just have to breath, enjoy where I am right now and let time tell me what’s coming.

Question mark is a post from: Jess the Actress

120

That you were once unkind befriends me now,
And for the sorrow which I then did feel
Needs must I under my transgression bow,
Unless my nerves were brass or hammered steel.
For if you were by my unkindness shaken,
As I by yours, y’have passed a hell of time,
And I, a tyrant, have no leisure taken
To weigh how once I suffered in your crime.
O that our night of woe might have rememb’red
My deepest sense, how hard true sorrow hits,
And soon to you, as you to me then, tend’red
The humble salve which wounded bosoms fits!
But that your trespass now becomes a fee;
Mine ransoms yours, and yours must ransom me.

So we are now working with Shakespeare in school, which is classic. Which acting school does not? We have a course now that is called Monologue technique, which until now have been based on cold reading and being where you are in your text. When you say something, do you say it because your emotion drives you to it or do you say something and act from what you say? I can’t really explain it better than the master himself; so enjoy!

I actually went to the gym today as well, you will soon not believe that I’m not shitting you about it. My goal was to sit on the boring bike for 1 hour, which I did. I manage to reach 26km, which is a little bit over 16 miles. This workout thing is making me feel real good and I’m stoked about going to the gym. My goal is to compete in ‘Vätternrundan’ next year, it is 300km which is 186 miles.

I’m a monster is a post from: Jess the Actress

But after a sweaty 1 hour movement test and with a hell of a lunch I felt like I had to go to the gym. So I did. My legs quite numb even before the real workout. I managed to sit on the freaking bike for 1 hour, doing 18 km which is a little over 11 miles. Since I just started doing fitness training I feel good about the results. I’m going to try to get to 20 km by the end of this week, which shouldn’t be a problem if I eat well and don’t do 1 hour of heavy dancing before.. lol.

A happy actress on her way to the gym after an awesome audition

We talked a lot about things to think about and how to start writing.

To think about: Characters, Relations and Reaction.

♥ Characters – We have to have different characters, with different goals to make a story interesting. If you have two characters, both with the same feelings you will probably have a hard time moving the story forward. You will get to characters who agree and it’s not “interesting enough”.

♥ Reactions - How do the “other” character react on what the character says.

♥ Relations – Simple, without relations you will never ever have any dialogs, which is quite important. So relations between the characters you create; not said that they have to love each other.

Dear Diary: this is what we did today is a post from: Jess the Actress

Stay away from me, so that I can stay away from pain.

The old man said – “pain is just weakness leaving your body“.
So she tried, she tried so hard to live with it.
But then, how much pain can one little soul handle.
Pain = weakness = failure

Failure leaves you - prevented

Not said that the girl will be stopped, no oh no,
the girl will stand up strong and fight the pain away.
Nothing will or can take this dream away.
Everything has been taken away from this girl, everything but this.

She will never let this one go.

Work, shopping, school, home is my plan for today. I have an errand on Söder, after that I will try getting myself to MQ for some shopping, since I got gift cards there on my birthday, but only if time is available. We have Dramaturgy today in school, we had to read a script until today and I can tell you all that it’s one of the most wierd scripts I have ever read..
