Strengths and Weaknesses as an Actress

As an actress I feel my strengths are portraying characters I can relate too. I feel I can play characters that are similar to myself with less timidness than those that are far fetched from my personality.  I believe I can portray emotion well when it comes to the characters and the scene. I need improvement on stuff out of my comfort zone like comedy, and making the lines come across correctly.  This semester I want to work on expanding my personality when it comes to characters I play, and coming across as thoroughly confident in what I am doing. I believe this will help me when it comes to performance, to make my stage appeal more pleasing.  As an actor the thing I find to be most terrifying is the audition. All the parts I have  ever received up until high school I was asked to do, so I do not have much experience when it comes to an audition. I would like to face and confront this challenge so I will be able to participate in plays and musicals in the future when I am out of High school, with confidence.

My Autobiography

My name is Heidi Marie Ebeling. I was born in Tupalo Mississippi (the same town and hospital as Elvis Presley) and lived on a Houseboat for the first year of my life. After that I moved to New Jersey, were my little brother, who is two years younger than me, was born. I have a twin sister, brother, two parents and fifteen pets.I love animals, and I am a vegetarian. I have never in my life eaten meat and I am okay with that. I love music, I play the violin and did Choir for a year. I also love to shoot. When I was little, four to be exact,  my dad took me to a shooting competition, were I came in second place in the 10 and under age group. From than on he taught me to shoot rifles, 22's, pistols and everything in between. He also taught me how to throw tomahawks and knives, and shoot a bow and arrow. Until 6th grade when I started playing basketball with ROAR I had never played sports. My dad told us that in life we would be able to take self defense skills with us anywhere, not sports, he was right. My wonderful, loving mother taught me academics and acting. She was the best teacher I have ever had. And the reason High School was such a success for me. I like acting but my favorite part of a performance is doing stage makeup and hair. I am a senior this year, however, this is only my third year of high school. I skipped my junior year so I am a year early grad and very excited about going to college! With a lot of support from my Family and Mrs. McNutt I was able to maintain my class rank and sanity as I jumped up a grade. I am going to attend Wofford College for bioengineering and Pre-med. I hope to one day to get my masters and doctorate as in Obstetrics and Gynecology or in forensic investigations. Before I die I want to go on an archaeological dig, and go to Africa as a doctor on a missions trip. Another huge aspect of my life is Jesus, he walked me through the tough times of my life, from a friends suicide, to death of family members, I wouldn't be where I am today or who I am today without him.
I also helped my sister start a project she came up with called Well Worth It. The goal of this project was to raise money to  build a well for another school in Africa, its still going on today and five other schools in the Rock Hill area are involved in it. I may not be able to change the World yet, but I certainly can make an impact.  And that's me(: Oh and I LOVE food! And my favorite T.V shows are, Numbers, Bones, and NCIS!
