The voting to recast Fran Drescher as President of SAG-AFTRA was unequivocal enough.Drescher whose words at the beginning of the strike resounded with many, and still does.“These are dynamic times and as one member body, we will weather the storms, stand on our principles and make sure our major contributions to this collaborative art form shall never again be diminished but rather be exalted.”Here's hoping she is able to get the deal for her members that is so needed, so that we can all move forward.https://www.screendaily.com/news/sag-aftra-re-elects-fran-drescher-president-as-strike-enters-ninth-week/5185754.article?
When you just start your acting career and begin to navigate the unknown maze that is your options for acquiring skills as an actor, you really need all the encouragement and support you can get. This, of course, applies to your friends and family foremost because they are your trusted loved ones who are supposed to have your back no matter what. Right? Not always.If you feel as though everyone you know is negative and just plain doesn’t “get it,” then take a moment and see your choice to become an actor from your family and friends’ perspectives. An attorney, a doctor, an accountant, or another mainstream occupation is more acceptable than what they perceive a struggling artist’s life to be, schlepping from audition to audition unpaid and having to attend classes in order to hone your skill set. Your spouse probably sees your decision to be without the proper consideration for your collective future together. One of the best ways to deal with possible negativity from your family is to try and understand that they really do have your best interests at heart, and their intentions are good. When your parents or significant other responds to you with anything other than, “Don’t worry. You’ll book the next role,” or “Hey, can I help in any way for your next audition?” simply display that you’re being responsible and earning a living doing something while pursuing your acting career. If they do see that you are completely immersed in this career and are busy with every opportunity in moving forward then that shows you are to be taken at your word and they should see your commitment to your craft.Whatever the outcome of your specific relationships, always think positively and embrace the challenges and adventures as you navigate your way as an actor. This is a truly exciting and invigorating process. You can be a part of evoking emotion from strangers as they sit in front of their TVs or in an audience by making them cry, laugh, get angry, and be entertained. You can make them forget everything for just a moment. Now that is worth more than you know.#actors #support #goals

Diction is the way you talk: your enunciation and the types of words and phrases you use.These exercises are great for actors to practice:Yoga hum: Take a deep breath in, then hum while slowly releasing your breath. Do this 5-10 times.Dragon's breath: Stand with your hands on your stomach and take a deep breath in. Release the breath with a "hah!" on fast, sharp exhales.Tongue twisters: Go through any catchy tongue twisters you know, such as:She sells seashells by the seashore.We surely shall see the sunshine soon.Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppersA peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper pickedIf Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppersWhere's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?He would chuck, he would, as much as he could, and chuck as much woodAs a woodchuck would if a woodchuck could chuck wood.Can you can a can as a canner can can a can?To practice, say the above tongue twisters slowly and deliberately five times in a row. If you're able to say them without making a mistake, increase the speed. If you make a mistake, slow back down again. The key with tongue twisters as diction exercises is to only speed up once you're in control of the words and to go faster and faster until you master them at all speeds.- Practice vowels and consonants: Practice saying and singing vowels using different consonant sounds at the front, in the middle, and at the end.For example, slowly and clearly say the words"poke," "toll," "boat," "cope," and "stone" back to back, focusing on keeping that long "o" exactly the same.#actor #diction

Need an extra boost of inspiration before your next audition? Check out these tips from casting directors:Bring something different. CDs sift through countless hours of auditions over the course of a day, and it’s a good idea to liven things up with a different approach if you can find one. Avy Kaufman encourages it: “It is so much fun when an actor brings something in that I didn’t think of and that the creative team probably didn’t think of, most likely. It’s like, ‘Oh my gosh, you just nailed it.’ the thing is, I want people to be great, so when they surprise us and do something that wows us, it’s very exciting.”Your life experiences help. “Locke and Key” CD April Webster urged auditioning actors to “have a rich and full life. What you bring to the table are the experiences you have had. It’s what makes you unique.”Casting directors are rooting for you. Carmen Cuba, whose instincts for actors shaped pop culture with “Stranger Things,” wants actors to feel comfortable and at-ease in the audition room: “I think we are all just doing our best, and when our paths cross it is with the shared objective of success on both our parts of getting the role cast. That is all they need to know, really: that I’m definitely taking the time to be in the room with them because I think they have a shot at either the thing they are auditioning for or something in the future that they don’t know about.”Kaufman feels the same way: “It means a lot to us to make it a place to feel comfortable because to walk into anyone’s home or office, even if you’re overly confident as a person, there’s something that makes it an unexpected place. You can expect to be treated wonderfully. We’re sensitive to the audition process.”#actor #audition

“No matter how small it may be, it’s important to have a space dedicated to auditioning. It’s hard to be the sharp, creative professional you need to be to book the job if you’re sitting on your couch or lying on your bed. Make this area exclusively for preparing your auditions and doing other creative work. One of the advantages of online auditioning is that no one can see you in the waiting area. Don’t just sit there staring at the screen, waiting your turn and getting stressed out. Move your body in energetic and fun ways. And remember to breathe, be silly, and be free so that when the casting director appears on your screen, you’re lit up, happy, relaxed, alert, and ready to blow them away. And when you’re greeting each other, be sure to really pay attention and listen to them. It’s harder to feel a connection to a person on a screen. Be easy, direct, and conversational. Let them know through your connection with them that they are in good hands and they can relax and really take you in.” —Craig Wallace, is the creator and award-winning teacher of the Wallace Audition Technique, an audition preparation system that he developed based on his years of experience as a studio executive, talent agent, and casting consultant.#actor #audition #zoom

Hello everyone,I'd like to introduce myself to you all.I am an actor and presenter who first appeared on television back in 1972; since then I have acted in several film, TV and stage productions. I'm a presenter with experience in presenting live to audiences of all sizes, in English and German. Am a passionate classic car enthusiast and restorer with a collection of British classic cars. During my career I have lived and worked in the UK and Germany, Austria and Poland; have also travelled extensively in Central and Eastern Europe, including Russia.I have just completed a film in Britain playing an 18th century English aristocrat and am currently acting in the lead role in an international feature film being made in Sofia, Bulgaria. I welcome opportunities for further roles and will work worldwide.
Hi - I’m new here and thought I’d introduce myself to you. I’m an actor who has also had experience of writing and directing, although that was mostly for the stage. I’ve been very lucky to have worked with some fine people in some great places.I’m particularly interested in acting in movies, TV programmes and commercials. I am also available for voice over work as I can ‘do’ many accents. I have posted my show reel and welcome any constructive comments that anyone wishes to make. If anyone wants to see my Spotlight profile in addition to this, I will happily provide a link.Many thanksD
"At minimum, you need good lighting. That means either natural lighting, a ring light, or an inexpensive light box. Most cameras and camera phones have a built-in mic, which works fine, although an additional mic can also be purchased inexpensively.You can hang a sheet on the wall for a backdrop-we even do this in my casting office.Most newer phones have great video-recording abilities-but make sure to record horizontally! A tripod or other support is needed so that the camera remains stable. For me, the essential element for a good audition is a great reader. For my coaching clients, I've been patching myself in as the reader through Zoom. Actors will have their cameras set up to shoot, and it generally turns out very well. When it comes to quality, we're not looking for Oscar-worthy cinematography. We want a good performance, which means your best take and an audition room-level reader-however you can safely make that happen. Don't worry, we don't need to see you on a soundstage to know if you're right for the part."- MARCI LIROFEKnown for her work in film and television, producer, and casting director, Marci has worked with some of the most successful directors in the world.

I wrote my first screenplay in Oct, 2020, called VOTE TRIP, This was the first script I had ever written, and In February 2021 the short film hit Youtube.
Love this comment from a former BBC DRAMA commissioner for my CRIME THRILLER PROJECT
Want Acting Success? What's Preventing You - Tell Me And I'll Help You https://youtu.be/IOyCZq3uyJk I have been very fortunate to have been able to make my living as an actor for 38 + years now. Even at the beginning of my career, I knew that if I ever had any type of success, I would like to help other actors succeed. Getting started was very hard for me. I didn't have any mentors or fellow actors to help guide me. So, I did everything by trial and error. It was hard, time consuming and sometimes unnecessarily expensive.In this video, I am offering fellow actors the opportunity to ask me any acting or industry questions they have. And, I will do my best to personally answer everyone.I look forward to talking with you soon.Aaron
The Actors Strike Absolutely Forced Me to Focus On 4 Helpful Projects https://youtu.be/n_22sznhJA8 There are many different ways actors can deal with the actor's strike. Along with using this time to get away and spend a few weeks hiking (which was really great for me) I have also been proactive and began to work on projects that I needed to do but didn't have the time to do before.In the video I share the 4 helpful projects that I am currently working on. I hope they are helpful to you as well.Let others know what you are doing to further your career during this time period. You can leave a comment here or on my channel. I am hoping we can continue to build a great community of actors helping each other.
Starting out as an Actor can be daunting, especially with the multitude of information out there. Some of you will have an agent, and some will be going it alone. But you will undoubtedly both ask yourself the same question; What else can I do to find auditions and paid acting work?While that question has many answers, this blog post focuses on six UK casting call websites.https://www.reflectionscareercoaching.co.uk/post/actor-mentoring-a-guide-to-6-uk-and-ireland-casting-websites-to-find-acting-auditions
What exactly does it mean to be a local hire? A local hire means that you are able to work in the shooting location without the need for travel expenses. If you consider yourself to be a local hire, it means you are willing to: fly yourself to the shooting location, put yourself up at a hotel or other residence, and get yourself to/from set without any reimbursement. Is it worth it? That’s a question you’ll want to ask yourself and your agent. If you have an offer for weekly scale but you have to be a local hire in another state, the cost of airfare, accommodations & rental car/Uber will have you barely come out even (taxes & agency fees are other contributing factors). At the end of the day, it’s important to prioritize what it is that you consider valuable to your career. Will this job be your first credit? Will it give you career-changing footage for your reel? If so, it might be worth it. It’s important to know the facts & rules when it comes to being a local hire.Just saying you can be a local hire and having some friends/family in that region may not be enough to fully qualify as a “local hire.” Productions are going out of state due to the many tax incentives offered there and lower cost of shooting. However, in order to qualify for these incentives, they must hire a certain percentage of local cast & crew. Many times, for cast, the percentage that can be out-of-state is reserved for the larger, leading roles. This means that some states will require either a state ID, or a document proving you are resident within a certain number of miles from the shooting location. (these requirements differ by state)#actor #actorslife
This Wednesday! ***Guest Alert August 16 *** I'll be on @riconosuaveshow at 5pm PST & 8pm EST Love for you to tune in on Facebook or YouTube channel link. Hope to see you there❤!❤️
Being new to this industry, I never know what the next step is, I spend all my free time writing, and I have different groups of people read them. I have accomplished every goal I have every set for myself. And the only thing I haven't done is have one of may scripts made into a movie, (full feature and short films)
For the longest time I wanted what "successful" screen actors had: money, fame, a nice house, popularity; but I've come to learn the hard reality during this strike. Today, I received an email from a celebrity actor/colleague. We've been talking for some time about doing a project together. Things aren't going so well for him financially. But he isn't the only one. Another friend of mine, who starred on a Disney series, told me he was broke. And another played a guessing game with me while we raced down the 5 FWY in his silver convertible, "Guess how much money I really have?" He said he only has $10,000.00 and he starred on a popular Fox series. He bought a house in Studio City, but he primarily supports himself with a computer job. Lastly, I had a fun conversation with the star of a hit Canadian produced sci-fi series who sides as a real estate agent in Vancouver. The Hollywood Illusion is shattered. Because of this strike, the scales have fallen from my eyes. I think this is a good thing, because now I can stop coveting what celebrity actors appear to have and focus on my craft.
On Friday 8/18, I'm going to get on the picket line in Burbank. If you're going and want today hi, respond here.

Hey, Performers!Are you working on your first action-packed indie short or feature? If not, maybe now is the time! Stunts can be a production booster or a production killer if not executed properly.

I received an email two days ago from production requesting my participation in publicizing my movie "Bertie the Brilliant" now airing on PBS and recently selected for the Academy qualifying festival HollyShorts. SAG-AFTRA cleared me to do this interview, because the production is not struck.All great stuff, but this is the first time I have ever had to do publicity for a film. And I realized during all those years in acting school, I was never taught "how" to interview. If I do this interview well, Mira Mira may hire me for upcoming film projects; therefore, doing this interview gives my career options.Here's what I'm trying:1) It will be a Zoom interview with the entire cast and some key crew. Therefore, I will write down everyone's name, credit and title and place it on the wall in front of my computer so, if I briefly forget who is who, I can glance at their names. Example: I don't want to call my fellow actors by their character names. I want to refer to them by their given names.2) I will do some light research on the interviewer: past interviews, their media outlet, etc. This will help me understand her interviewing methods.3) Will write 2 to 3 quick thoughts on how the theme of the picture relates to my own life experiences, and identify how audiences may similarly relate to the primary theme. These thoughts will also be posted on the wall behind my computer in case I get distracted or lost while being questioned.A few months ago, I purchased home studio equipment which I will use to create my interview space (pictured below).4) I won't practice my responses. I don't want to appear rehearsed. If you're an acting teacher, consider adding a class on publicity--giving interviews.
Weeee, you found me!
I'm your buddy Bottie, I was hiding behind the scenes, but now that you've found me I'd be happy to tell you what I'm doing.
