An actor's dreams and doubts Advent Calendar proudly presents - December 20 - Hector Urbina from Mexico. Hector gives 1000% all the time. It is lovely to watch Hector when he acts and in the process because he cares more than most. The word is his.
Some years
ago I received a pocket notebook with plain pages as a Christmas gift. I was
not sure what to write on it, perhaps notes about work or meetings. But one day
while drinking a good cup of Coffee I started to write on this notebook about big
things I wanted to accomplish. I found that putting things on paper gives a
good feeling; it feels like taking the first step to materialize something that
was just an idea. December has a special atmosphere, and for me is also an
opportunity to reflect on my experiences over the year. In this period I take a
look to recent and old notebooks I wrote and sometimes I get surprised on how
close I get to things I wrote or also get surprised on how my perspective on
life and events has evolved over time. I highly recommend you writing your
goals and dreams on paper, it worths the effort!
About
studying acting, I did not though or wrote about it, it just happened. I wanted
to improve communication skills and then joined an acting class and it was then
that I became interested in this craft. One of the things I enjoy about acting is
to study and portray characters.
Characters are people who want something in life and make choices about
it, the more specific the choices the more interesting. Characters sometimes struggle
and doubt about their choices but more important they embrace their decisions
and deal with them moment by moment. In
real life I also embrace my decisions, sometimes things go as planned and
sometimes things go in the wrong direction, but something I learned to deal
with tough moments is to always be calm, remain positive and be open minded. You never know where great
ideas or solutions can come from!
