I just started a 1-year acting program with an acting teacher who is an MFA graduate of The Actors Studio Drama Program. According to Google AI, this is an elite club member I am learning under, so I have added it to my resume. I hope to become a good actor! So far, the acting sessions are very insightful.

When it comes to booking acting work, what has been a tactic that has worked best for you? Are there any other ones than these three that you have done? I know for me it has been a combination of the three over the years. But Auditioning seems to be the one that works best for me.

Every actor who has built a lasting career has one thing in common — they kept showing up after the moments that would have made most people stop. Not just the rejections, though there were plenty of those. The callbacks that went nowhere. The roles that went to someone else. The seasons where the auditions dried up en…

As you've no doubt heard, today is May the Fourth (be with you...), recognized as Star Wars Day. While the movies and TV shows are occasionally nitpicked (mostly unjustly so) for some of the acting choices and performances, there are some incredible performances as well.George Lucas lobbied (unsuccessfully) for Frank…

As a clinician and storyteller, I’m deeply interested in how film can portray the psychological realities behind addiction, anxiety, and human behavior.Not just the surface-level struggle, but the internal conflict, the patterns, the “why” behind it all.There’s a gap between clinical truth and what we often see on scre…

Hello everyone,I’ve been part of this incredible community for a while now, and I’m always struck by how much "movie magic" is hidden in the history of our craft.

Since I got into acting after college and started auditioning, over 35 years ago, my strategy was to avoid the monolgue books and seek out material that I could be pretty sure no one else was going to bring to an audition. These included monologues from less produced plays, like Shakespeare's Troilus & Cressida, Richar…

The acting landscape is shifting faster than most performers realize — and the opportunity for those who adapt is genuinely significant. Vertical micro-dramas are the most dramatic development of the past two years: short-form series shot in portrait mode, often under two minutes per episode, are generating hundreds of…

As an actor, it is natural that I'd like to be publicly recognized and appreciated for my talents and contribution to projects. However, celebrity scares me. It's its own job with its own demands.

Based on my experience as both performer and acting coach, I'd strongly recommend that aspiring, and even seasoned Thespians research and read every book they find on the subject of theatre--both its historical and current movements--whether it's specific to acting or not.

I think emotional depth comes from context, not just intensity.A character can express strong emotions, but without internal conflict or meaning behind it, it doesn’t resonate the same way.Depth comes from what the character is carrying, not just what they show.
