Today I had an audition, my fourth audition in the past few weeks... I feel so blessed. I was talking with a gentleman as we were both waiting for our name. Lately, I like to listen to 8 tracks with motivational speeches with beats as I get ready for my audition and do my makeup and hair. He asked motivation there's a difference between motivation and inspiration. When you are motivated you get pumped up and move far. When you are inspired you can change worlds. It reminded me years ago, I went to Chicago to study at Second City with Michael Gellman. I wanted so badly to learn from the best and he is one of the best, he has directed at Second City in Chicago since 1980! I spent a week 8 hours a day studying this technique in various ways and I had a blast. At the end of the week my last conversation with my teacher, before I flew back to Lalaland. "I would like to come back next year and study with you again!" He asked me, "Why?" Which I was very confused, "...Because I loved your class and I want to keep learning from you." "Did you not learn this week what I have to teach you. Don't take my class over and over again! Learn what you need to learn and go and grow." I was so inspired I came back to LA and started my own form to play with and my very own Improv Team "One Night Only", I put it together based on a forms that I had piece together from the years of improvisation, acting and theater I've taken. There is a difference between Motivation and Inspiration, a big difference. (Besides them being different words and all... Kyle :) I love yea)
