Tips and advice for actors of all ages!

Focus on Acting?

Danny Kaye  once said, “If a person gives 100% they should expect 100% in return.”  He believed this with his heart.  It is that sort of decision and drive that directs us toward a specific goal.  Acting is like finding that special someone. This business is hard enough to just accept anything! 

The Key is to embrace the industry as a whole while maintaining our dream or goal in a very detailed and specific manner.  If our goal is to work in musical theatre, our focus should be on singing and dance classes.  If film is the main stay of your creative existence then perhaps a Meisner or Stanislavsky  workshop, or acting for the camera class would be best.  Acting is a constant arena of learning and experiencing.  George C. Scott  said, “This acting thing, I think I am starting to get it.”  George was in his 80’s.

Networking or Connecting..its all the same!

Actors and others in the industry must communicate in order to generate work!   People have been doing since Biblical times!  The basic purpose is to tell others about what you do. 

In this 21st century we use the computer or internet to connect with other actors and directors.   Check out Stanfords Who’s Who by clicking below.  It is filled with good advice!
