I'm a voice actor primarily, but I've also noticed this whenever I do any form of performance; the mood I'm in plays a gigantic role in the quality of my performance. For example, last week I landed a couple of VO jobs within a day of one another which put me in a pretty good mood. For the next couple of days, I wasn't…

From my research I’ve noticed that a lot of the big leading agencies in the UK have undergone significant change this year. I assume it’s no coincidence that it’s also the year of covid, which has obviously massively affected production levels and theatre. Some changes I’ve observed: - The former managing directors of…

I am aspiring to work as an actor, and I am thinking about starting a Theatre degree or a Cinema degree.

While I am sure there are a lot, it doesn’t seem widely discussed.

After years of working with actors and coaches I have come to this conclusion, and would love to know if you agree. You must be born with the aptitude to improve an already inherent ability to act.
