Literally most famous actors are super outgoing and have amazing personalities. Even non famous actor tend to be extroverted and be outgoing. I'm quite literally the opposite of that. I fell in love with acting to begin with to get out of my shell but I'm still an introvert. Deep down that's just who I am. But I feel l…

As we actors all know, auditioning is not the same as acting. It is an entirely different skill set. Since the industry has moved to self tape, the audition process has changed so much. No more rushing across the city, trying to find parking, hanging out in the waiting room, and meeting other actors. No more face to fa…

I know that every actor has their own unique way of acting, and we should never compare ourselves to others.
