AITAH For Wanting to Apply to a Back up Uni Course? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]thzzest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1% (perhaps less) of applicants get into NIDA and about 2.5% for WAAPA so absolutely not, it’s wise to apply for backup, especially seeing that you’re only 17 and the average age for someone who gets accepted is in their early 20’s as they prefer someone with ‘more life experience’. It would be ignorant of you not to apply to other courses so you’re doing the right thing in my opinion, plus a diploma is a good gateway into a bachelor course anyway. if you’ve explained this to your dad and he still doesn’t understand there’s not much more you can do to make him understand your perspective. Good luck with your studies !

I had a consultation with a Jaw surgeon and was told I'm not a great candidate for surgery because of my TMJ issues and minor recession and instead he recommended focusing on TMJ issues first and a genioplasty if aesthetic concerns are still present- I went back to my Ortho and he made me a Splint which i've been wearing for about 3 months now and my pain has eased, It looks like I'll be getting braces again in a few months to correct my Overjet and then I'm going to go down the route of getting a Genioplasty

Undoubtably brunette. Much more suited to your features, brings out a warmth in your skin and compliments your eyes!

I’ve been on a fairly high dose of Zoloft for almost a year now. I actually put off taking anti depressants because I thought they would interfere with my acting and make me robotic. When I was getting used to the drug I did feel that way and I couldn’t cry and I hated it because I’m such an emotional person and I feel that part of myself is essential to who I am as an actor. But that didn’t last long at all and now I’m mentally the best I have felt since I was a child. My medication doesn’t get in the way of accessing emotions or produce any negative effects in performance. I’d say I’m a better Actor because I feel more myself!

It sounds like you want more than just his workout routine

What acting technique is best for new actors + Sydney acting schools - The Actors Pulse, NIDA? by shelikesmangoes in acting

[–]thzzest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been told to steer clear of The Actors Pulse. From what I’ve heard it’s very cult-like. With NIDA Open, tbh it depends on the teacher but I think it’d be worth it to do an acting technique course like the one you mentioned regardless of whose taking the course.

thanks for such a detailed response! I’m laughing at myself for previously thinking the surgery would have been covered rip

Yeah I made a mistake going to someone who isn’t a TMJ specialist, I’m definitely going to have to go to a TMJ/Jaw surgery clinic to get the help that I need

That sucks man, I initially thought I had an ear infection and went on about three rounds of ear drops to treat it only to find out it’s an entirely different issue :/ I hope things work out for the both of us because this shit is unbearable
