AUDITORY ASSISTANCE

AUDITORY ASSISTANCE

After these ridiculously hard finals, I had to take a mandatory 82 hour nap (extreme boost, but you know the vibes lol). However reflecting on the preparation of finals, my appreciation for audio learning went up extremely.

During the study sessions for finals, I would always think about the infamous line spat by elderly people, “If you can learn those lyrics, you can learn those _______(fill in the blank)”.

Then, I thought about why could I remember those lyrics? Because sitting down listening really made all the difference. When I’m reading notes sometimes I can get caught in a daze. I would still be reading but if I’m too deep in the daze then I WON’T be comprehending. 

With audio, the voice inflections and random noise help beat the redundancy of reading thus helping me remember more. In fact, for our MPRE exam (that’s an ethics exam for law students), listening to a review session, help me remember exact answers to certain questions.

When I seen the question, I said “oh I remember exactly what she said about this” and I was able to fill in the correct answer.

Also, it helped for my other exams, the audio triggered exact sentences they said that directly helped on my exams.

So if you need assistance in retaining information give audio a try. I don’t have the science to back these findings but I did just provide you with key examples from experience.

And doesn’t that count for something?

Are Actors The Smartest People In The World?

People who are or want to become actors are often slandered with statements like “being an actor is nearly impossible, what makes you think you can do it” or “I don’t understand what’s so great about being an actor” or anything that may be discouraging and stupid. However those actors may know something that we don’t know. Education is probably the most valued thing in the world so couldn’t you argue that actors may be some of the most educated people in the world? Let me explain…

With each role an actor is selected for they have to do extensive research and preparation for an accurate portrayal. If the actor is playing a math professor they become well versed in the realm of collegiate level math, if they’re playing an artist, months of practicing and appreciating art happens, or even if they’re going for the role of a boxer the actor trains exactly how a successful boxer does. What does this do exactly? Each role an actor gets there is a greater chance for increased knowledge and skill set. After spending so much time with acquiring a skill set the skill doesn’t leave the actor so easily. That means instead of stopping at the 4–6 year window of college, actors constantly get their education and through experience become well versed in areas of life most will never dabble in.

There you have it, actors might not actually be the smartest people in the world per-say but they’re experience shouldn’t go unaccounted for and with movies getting made everyday it truly puts them in a league of their own.
