| Acting for Film & TV |
| When first approaching your dialogue for film or television, speak it as if YOU - the actual person - were saying it first. Then find your "motivation" for the piece, etc. Combine how YOU would say it, with how the CHARACTER would say it - and then speak it in a regular audible manner. No whispers. No screams. But again, as I think I've said somewhere before, speak it like Goldilocks finding her perfect bed: "Just right." Read More... |

| How to Prepare for an Audition |
| What's the best thing you can do for your audition? Live your life. That's right. Live your life. Nothing prepares you more for an audition or for any character you are to play than your life - for it is from actual living your life (and not waiting for it to begin after your career) that you gain the emotional and psychological experience that you can then apply to not only the creative end of acting, but also to the professional end.

| How to Face the Toughest One of Them All |
| Without a doubt, the toughest audition you'll ever face is the one that leads to all the others. Translation: Auditioning for an agent. So trying out for an agent in his or her office, or performing for one at a showcase, can make you go pretty rubbery in the knees. It's not often that so much is riding on your performance. From an encounter that is up close and personal, they can get an idea of how truthful and contained you're likely to appear when you audition for on-camera parts. Read More... |

| Talking to Agents - It Helps If You Know The Answers |
| "Tell me about yourself" is an agent's way of saying; "tell me a story." The sole criteria is this: "Is this actor a good story teller?" An agent learns quickly how to spot "comers" and ignore "wannabes." Go through your real life experiences and start creating narratives about yourself. If you have to bend the truth a bit to keep the interest up, then so be it. Fiction is our business. (Just Remember: Don't make up credits or relationships.) Don't forget the drama! This is a scene you are painting for the agent. Play it. Read More... |
