By now, hopefully you’ve tapped back into your Mojo and are exploring your impulses.  It’s time to start analyzing all those discoveries, so that later we can track change, and set new goals.

Keeping an acting journal is a very important part of your process.  It’s one of the best ways to take your work to an even deeper level.  Recognizing and becoming aware of your own patterns is the starting point of change.  It  might help you discover and rearrange the Matrix.  Only when we know what is not working can we change it.  Only when we know what is working can we measure success.

Record your work in writing, recalling your moment to moment realizations, frustrations, determinations.  Be honest.  What sucked?  What didn’t work?  Were any of your impulses truthful?  Were you THE worst actor ever?  Did you want to beat your head against the wall?  Did you win an academy award for one of those moments?  Did you want to jump up and down on the bed?

Now become Aristotle.  Debate with yourself.  Challenge yourself.  Create your own acting philosophies.  Set goals.  And, as is the spirit of this site, SHARE.

This will serve you well throughout your career.  As you look back, with a bird’s eye point of view, at issues you have addressed and worked on, you’ll really have an idea of yourself as an artist.  In addition, a journal will also reveal what issues are still unresolved and need attention.
