Words Fail.

On November 8th, we had a masterclass in studio class and a famous actor/teacher came in to teach. I found that I walked out of that masterclass with a new perspective on the performing arts and a motivation to improve as an all around performer. The teacher of the masterclass stressed the importance of the performers individual interpretation of the song that they are performing. Making a personal connection with the song helps the performer generate meaning in the song and in turn helps the audience have a more enjoyable experience. He also stressed the fact that words fail. Music brings a whole new level of meaning to communication. It connects more directly to emotions and can sometimes not even be describable.
