Im worried about this shoot this weekend and just wanted to find a way to healthily get out my nerves. I understand as an actor a lot of the times we should be grateful to work. An actress dropped out of a project suddenly that I was interested in. I was offered the lead and was super excited. Im a little irritated tha…

Hi all - In a time where standing out is the way forward, I was wondering how many extra skills do we need to have before we become overlooked for being too much of something and not enough of one thing? Have a great week adding your next string x

Pretty much at rock bottom. Getting help for it. I was born an actor and a singer. When I say singer I mean singing in cathedrals, and acting at most it was the cabaret musical (don’t want to state who i am). I remember searching back in the day is it bad to act whilst drunk. And everyone said no. But I used to be a pe…

I hear it all the time that the “traditional” pipeline for actors is dead. Getting an agent and auditioning over and over until you book a few things, then a few bigger things, have your big break, etc. Everyone seems to be talking about how you need to make your own content in order to “make it” whatever that means.

I’ve been acting for the past four years and have edited and re-edited my reel many times over that time. I am lucky to have options for my footage. No flashy credits or huge actors I shared the screen with, but a lot of solid work to choose from. But I struggle with selecting which clips to include in the reel, and ha…

IMDb could make a significant amount of money by letting actors pay to suppress specific credits from their main profile. Not delete them from IMDb — just hide them from the actor’s public filmography page. The movie would still be there available to search on IMDb. The actor would still be credited on the movie’s page…

For me, one of the things I wish I could explain is that acting is not something actors do all day even when not on a project. It would be nice for people to understand that just as a painter does not walk around all day with his paintbrushes and palette (on the bus, while cooking dinner, while at the dentist), actors…

As an actress, I often need my husband to read the other characters’ lines with me. It can be too much, especially when I need to repeat a scene many times. That’s why I created **Cue Bunny**.

I was the Director of Photography for this project and due to a last minute issue, I had to play the body double for a cop character.

When it comes to the action sequences of a screenplay, do you prefer more description or less in order to get a better idea of the character and scene.
