Information: The value of blinders!
Huh? What? Kevin…what the hell are you talking about? Blinders? Yes, blinders for actors, because in so many ways we are our worst enemy. Why? Because again this profession has so little structure as it pertains to “direction, focus, choice and purpose.” The reality for us is a phrase I’ve used for years and it’s […]
Submission INSANITY!
I mean…seriously…I can’t handle it man. Where have we come to at this point in digital technology. Are 9-year olds now posting New Media, Ultra-Low Budget & student films too? At this point I’m trying to calculate between the Legit breakdowns, LA Casting, BackStage, NowCasting, ActorsAccess, Universities and Non-union stuff exactly
Why are you in L.A.?
Wait, don’t think this post ONLY applies to you if you’re actually physically NOT in L.A. 🙂 If you grew up 100 miles from London, but are now IN London as an actor or you’re from Perth and you’ve moved all the way to Sydney and/or any other tiny small area but you’ve chosen to […]
Your Brand? Uh…ok!
So let us take a brief look at these two definitions: 1. a type of product manufactured by a particular company under a particular name. “a new brand of detergent” 2. an identifying mark burned on livestock or criminals or slaves with a branding iron. Now obviously actors ARE indeed their own CEO, and this is indeed […]
Vine: Cuz I only have 6 seconds!
So I’ll take the assumption you know what vine-videos.com. The question is, what the heck does it have to do with being an actor or the business of acting? I hear ya, but hang with me, and I’ll get to the point. I’m not sure we can cut our brains much shorter but 6 seconds […]
A Breakdown Manager…isn’t a Manager!
Did the title get’cha? Did it make you mad? Did it make you think, shit wait, is that “my manager?” My thought is I kinda hope so, probably and yes…it is more than likely. 🙂 No, I’m not making fun of or laughing at Managers in ANY way. And no, I’m not poking fun at […]
CD Workshops: Tool or Tragedy?
Alright allow me to be clear about this Blog, because many reading this know my feelings about the “pay to play, paid workshop” concept, but many others do not. I’ve listed it as Tool or Tragedy because so many people will “always argue” that they “got something positive” out of it…and therefore it is a […]
A Marianne Williamson New Year!
So at this point in the later part of January you’re finally getting “settled in” to the New Year. The Holidays are truly over, you’ve gotten back to town, maybe you’ve gotten rid of a few Holiday eating pounds, you’re officially back into your routine or whatever you call…
Where is Godot?
Yes, I know that you “get the reference” but it is meant to get your attention. As stated by Walt Whitman, “the powerful play goes on” and none of us can stop Father time. This leads me to urge you to STOP WAITING. What does that mean Kevin? Hell, I don’t know
