Act in a Performance

Act in a Performance

During the New year, on the january1st, we held
a performance at the third floor of the cafeteria, the performance was called “ Snow White”. At that time, I remembered I hid behind the stage and waited for the dub the voice for the Hunter, my heart kept palpitating, and erstwhile experience seemed blur my eyes…

One day, in class Abby announced a surprising news! She said: “through the class meeting, we decided we would have the performance in New Year’s celebration! I chose our performance was “ Snow White”! I felt very ambivalent, in one way I wanted to have a try, I want to have more chance to train my timid personality. However I also felt extremely frightened, I really didn’t have that courage to act in public. As the time elapsed, I felt more paradoxical. Finally I asked Abby: “ Can I dub the voice for someone.” She agreed and be willing to help me….
After the whole actors, actresses were chosen, we began to rehearse. For the simulated one, I didn’t feel nervous anyall. When I read the lyrics in class, nothing bad happened. Finally we joined the performance contest, if we won, we would perform in the New Year’s celebration, in my mind that was such a wondrous thing!

During the contest, I became very intimidated and nervous. Especially when I saw the judgers, my heart nearly bounced out of the mouth. I shuddered and adjusted my voice… “It’s your turn, John!” Abby whispered to me. I wanted to say something, accidently I became dumb and kept saying gibberish…things were so deplorable. I tried for many times and stammered for a while, finally I at last spoke out loud, and faced to judgers…after the contest, I felt quite guilty, I afraid my bad performance could let our class be winnowed out of the good performance. Luckily we won! I was shocked and didn’t speak any thing for a long time…

Now it time for our class to have the performance in New Year’s celebration. I would dub for Genesis. Before the show, I tried to calm down. Shortly after I began with the lines “ you are the most beautiful woman of all!” at first I felt still nervous, however as the performance goes on, I felt more and more confident, I didn’t worry things
Any more, finally I finished it and felt a sense of accomplishment.

Through this activity I found a chinese motto is totally right it called “ one minute on stage, ten years for preparing.” I felt if we wanted to be successful in our life, the prerequisite is we must try and keep practising on it.
