One thing that my fellow workaholics and I have, is an inability to smell the roses when the time comes. It's easy to go from one project to the other and forget about the things you've done before, always looking to what's next. And while that does keep you busy and focused, it can also leave you empty and never r…

Hi all, thought I'd post some dialogue sequences from a few movies I love. Note: I'm just an actor, not an acting coach. The choices below are just my opinion :)Closer - Clive Owen and Julia Roberts' break-up scene. This one is paced so well and the back and forth gets very venomous at times. It's one of my all-time fa…

As an actress I wish I would have showed up to as many of my screenings as possible & a lot sooner, but it wasn’t until I became a writer that initially got the ball rolling for me and now as a Producer I find it a necessary expense and just know I need to always have a budget for the in person speaking events

So, I checked off a bucket list item I didn’t even know was on there: signing up as an actress for the Marbella International Film Festival. As a writer? That’s my jam—words on paper, stories I control, no risk of a camera catching my bedhead vibes. But as an actress? Never done it. Never stepped into someone else’s fi…

Actors- have you ever had to learn an accent for a role? If so, how did you learn it? I once had to learn a German accent for THE BEAMS ARE CREAKING. This was last century, so I had a cassette with a person teaching German accent, that I would listen to in my car during my commute.
