Sep 5, 2011 • Did an actor really feel I should pay for travel to the audition? Do not expect things without work & Never apply if it’s not legit! (I swear there’s a lesson here) Almost every actor I have met so far has made my world, these fantastic personalities, these incredible life stories of either complexity or...

Sep 5, 2011 • Well we have comedic & dramatic [contemporary (aka modern), classical]. Deciding on a monologue is tough. You have to find something that suits you, don’t try to simply ‘put on a show.’ What I mean by that is don’t pick it because it’s simply from your favorite screen/play/wright. Make sure it suits you, your voice,...

Sep 5, 2011 • I’m an indie film maker not James Cameron…I don’t mind an unprofessional shot (it’s a preference), just make sure it’s of your head (see previous posts on headshots).

Sep 4, 2011 • Having conducted three casting calls, I have tips for the actors as well as new directors, but first I’m going to help out the actors. Discussion one: HEADSHOTS! Have a great headshot. When I say great, I mean professional is nice, but not required. What makes a great headshot? I’m thinking, well lit, not at...

Sep 3, 2011 • I’ve made the decision to become just as self absorbed as everyone else apparently it’s an acceptable and universal personality trait. I will ignore what anyone’s ever done for me, or how much time they put in to assist me. I will forget everything as the most important thing is how pretty my face is,...

Jun 22, 2011 • I went to Beaver fest this week and I have to say I almost didn’t make it there. I was going with about five people and slowly that number began to dwindle as the hours past. Some didn’t want to spend 15 dollars as money is tight, others just haven’t had fun in so long...

Feb 25, 2011 • The twitterverse was so busy tonight, I actually participated rather than just reading. As for Season 10 I’ve been really disappointed. Not what I was hoping for a lot of bad, empty dialogue and horrifically boring episodes. However, tonight I have to say I was really watching, unlike other Fridays at 8 where I’m barely...
