I saw this video recently where Obama and McCain roast each other at the Alfred E Smith memorial dinner.
For those of you unfamiliar with what a roast is; Wickipedia defines it as follows:
A roast, in North American English, is an event in which an individual is subject to publicly bearing comedic insults, praise, outlandish true and untrue stories and heartwarming tributes. The implication being that the roastee is able to take the jokes in good faith and as not being serious criticism or insult, and therefore showing their good nature. It is seen as a great honor to be roasted, as the individual is surrounded by friends, fans, and well-wishers, who can receive some of the same treatment as well during the course of the evening. The party and presentation itself are both referred to as a roast. The host of the event is called the roastmaster. Anyone who is honored in such a way is said to have been “roasted”.
Now although this took place just before the election, i thought it was great and showed a side of Obama that not many people had seen before. Watching the video you could say that Obama was good enough to do stand up comedy!
A good friend Rick Beeman from KSDi has started teaching acting classes in Bahrain, and as someone quite into Personal Development and learning any skills that i can, i decided to go ahead and take the classes.
Rick is a Hollywood director/producer/acting coach and has worked in Hollywood for 10 years, directing and producing as well as conducting screen acting workshops in California and Texas.
Essentially this is a 15 week course where we will work on some screen acting techniques and skills that will help the students with acting in front of an audience or a camera.

Attached is a link to a video of our first training class which was quite hillarious since we didn’t really know what we were doing. But nonetheless it turned out quite hillarious.
It will be interesting to see where the future goes with some of the skills that i learned from this.
The sessions are video taped utilizing KSDI’s state-of-the-art production equipment. The performances are then reviewed in the class on the big screen for direct feedback designed to improve the actor’s performance.
At the end of the 15-week session, each actor will have their work showcased in an open house event for their friends, family, and associates to see their work on the big screen. Each student will graduate with a professionally edited demo reel DVD of their performances!
