<p>no, he wants to be an actor. He’s wanted to since he was a kid, and has never lost sight of that dream or goal. I’m not forcing him to do this. In fact, he and I have to deflect comments regularly of shouldn’t he do something more “practical” since he’s one of those lucky kids who can go into any field he wants(other than singing or professional sports). But truthfully, all he has done is stage so far so he may try camera acting and realize he does not like it as much. As I posted up earlier, he does not have the singing voice to do musicals which is why he is leaning towards either TV, film, or speaking voice acting(eg cartoons, documentaries, reading books out loud). part of his excitement in seeing that room is that his options are limited where we live so a full blown room with all sorts of mixing equipment(or whatever it’s called) was really cool to him. He also commented on how much one of his friends(who is the behind the camera guy) would go nuts if he saw that room. He was backstage at another school that had extensive props and a huge backstage area. He really liked that too and how it was laid out. Not that he wants to work backstage post graduation but he’s been on enough stages and behind them to realize this other school had a great layout, was exceptionally organized, and had a lot of room on and off the stage to make their shows a success. It also showed a committed theatre dept that worked well with what they had. He admires anything impressive he sees in a good way and since he’s been acting since a kid, he picks up on things I don’t.</p>
