Greetings,
Your first "task" is to sign in to the blog and post an introductory note to this message. The basics will suffice (name, major, hometown, year in school, and maybe something about yourself that you'd like us to know).
I'll go first--
My name is Jack Powers and (as an undergraduate) I double-majored in French and Communications. I'm from Cleveland (I'm a big sports fan and baseball is, by far, my favorite sport. How much do I love baseball? I subscribe to the MLB.tv package so that I can get access to EVERY SINGLE MLB game in the United States, though I mainly watch just the Cleveland games. If you're not a sports fan, then you might not realize how difficult it is to be a Cleveland fan, but trust me when I tell you it's painful. When you're from Cleveland, you expect all of your sports teams to collapse in the playoffs, so I "expect" the Cavs to lose to Golden State, probably in the worst imaginable way).
Oh, and I love TV-- to unhealthy levels.
Current/past favorites include Game of Thrones, Better Call Saul, House of Cards, Parks and Rec, Modern Family, Archer, South Park, Family Guy, The Simpsons, Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, Friends, and Seinfeld...
As an undergrad, I went to a liberal arts college not that much different than IC (Mount Union College, the DIII football powerhouse). I earned my master's degree from Ohio State University and my PhD from the Newhouse School at Syracuse University.
As for something about me that I'd like you to know? I love my job. I know a lot of people say that, but I really, really mean it.
Jack
Hi everyone,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Alexa Levy and I am a rising senior TVR major with a Legal Studies minor. I'm originally from Greenwich, CT, but this summer I am actually in Los Angeles attending the ICLA program. Something about me that I'd like you to know is that I really love meeting new people!
Alexa, meet Andrew.
DeleteAndrew, meet Alexa.
I introduce you to each other because you both mentioned how you like to meet new people.
Welcome aboard, Alexa.

ReplyDeleteHello all,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Andrew Hudkins and I am a rising senior History and Politics double major. I am from Flemington, New Jersey. I am a musician and a music nerd and enjoy discovering and sharing new music all the time. I also enjoy meeting new people.
Hi, Andrew-
DeleteSo when you say "new" music, what do you mean? Most music aficionados have eclectic tastes. Does that describe you?
Welcome to the class.
Hello! My name is Victoria Mussalli, and I am a Television Radio major with a minor in Spanish. I'm from Ossining, NY which is about an hour's drive outside of Manhattan. This summer I'm working on a film being shot in Ithaca, which is pretty fun and exciting since it's the first professional film set that I'll have been on.
ReplyDeleteI'm graduating from IC a year early, which means that this coming fall will be the start of my senior year! I'm a very down to earth person and enjoy dancing and performing. In fact, one cool thing to know about me is that I used to do stand up in different accents, performing as different characters. One of my favorites is a Russian character I made up named Vladimir who basically says whatever, whenever he wants. It's through doing things like that throughout high school that made me decide to pursue a career in voice acting, which is what I hope to be doing post-graduation.
Anyhow, that's a little about me. I hope to hear from you all soon!
Welcome, Victoria!
DeleteI'm fascinated by your desire to be a voice actor. My advice to you would be to align yourself with an animator and start writing/acting and posting short, funny/weird/odd videos to YouTube. Submit to places like FunnyOrDie or CollegeHumor. Also, if you're heading out to LA, start performing at UCB (Upright Citizens Brigade). If you do all of these things, you'll get noticed and that's what you need to get an agent...
Hello Jack!
DeleteI'm actually taking an improv course with UCB with summer in NYC. Thank you for the advice! I'll make use out of it!
Hi All,
ReplyDeleteSorry for the late response, I'm from (and currently living and working) in the UK. We had a bank holiday on Monday as well, and since then my dates and times have been completely ruined!
I'm a TVR major with the hope of eventually moving into the Film world and becoming a Writer and Director, although I've always been fascinated by TV series as well so anything is possible. I currently work at a film production company as a Production Assistant, which I really enjoy but I'm about ready to move up the ladder a little bit.
I'm a big soccer fan and the team I support is Middlesbrough, we must be very much like Cleveland, I always assume we're going to be let down (as we so often are) however this season we had a great year and got promoted to the top division, the EPL (for anyone that knows soccer).
I also love music, and play the guitar.
