AGING IN FILM…

Except in some rare exceptions, aging sucks no matter what profession you are in. The mind works better and just as fast as at 30 but it just seems like the packaging doesn’t follow. Now add on to that that this profession is one which involves the factor of beauty, youth and health, and you have yourself a dilemma.

QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF BEFORE GOING INTO THE ACTING BUSINESS

Any business person planning to invest time, energy, and his life savings in a new business commits himself to relentless research. He interviews people in the field, checks the library and/or theinternet for information, and conducts a market survey to see if there is a need for his product.
In many ways, an actor is no different than any other business person. To enter the marketplace in an effective way, the actor needs to analyze his product by coming up with clear, concise answers to a series of essential questions that you need to ask yourself..

Here is our next Horror trailer. Im a little bit torn on what to think of this adaptation from teen novel… It seems like it could be great, or become just another young tween story without substance. What do you think?

What do you spend more on? (Pick up to 3 answers)

  • Headshots (photographer, make-up artist, hair…)
  • Transportation (getting to auditions in very disperse locations..)
  • Updating and filming for my Demoreel…
  • Classes, Workshops, Showcases, Courses…

  • Other: I’ll tell you in my comments.

IS YOUR IMAGE AND PHYSICALITY YOUR DESTINY??

Whether we like it or not, its true that your face is your fortune. If you are Cameron Diaz, Halle Berry, or Brad Pitt, your face can and will open many doors for you; if you are not perceived as beautiful, reviewers might not focus on your acting. This happened to Kathy Bates, where critics like John Simon said things like “its a shame her leading man should play opposite an actress who is enormously overweight”.,,

Z-VIEWER TO WATCH TV ON YOUR COMPUTER

To all you actors who who dont have cable BUT STILL NEED TO WATCH TV, PILOTS…etc..

<br />

Free application Zviewer is a one-stop shop for all your web video needs, integrating everything from Hulu and YouTube to Netflix Watch Instantly in a full-screen interface. The app lets you browse listings from different on-demand video sites and launch any video instantly. Apart from aggregating all this on-demand video, the cool thing about Zviewer is that it supports most Windows remote controls, so if you already have a Media Center PC, you can control the app from across the room. Unfortunately Zviewer is a little less of a full-service solution than we’d like, since playing a video simply launches a customized version of Firefox instead of handling the video itself. The company that develops Zviewer also sells an outrageously priced set-top box that does works similarly to the standalone app while

EDITING YOUR DEMO REEL.

<br />

O.K. We all know how actors can be: egocentric, narcicistic and vain. And there are plenty of times when that would be anything but useful. Except one: The demo-reel.

Demo reels have one purpose and one purpose only: Showing you (I know you love it!). And that means it is of no importance who feeds you the line, their response, their shot, only you, you, you. Here is how a proper reel should look:

BOOK REVIEW: TRIPPING THE PROM QUEEN By Susan Shapiro Barash

Like every week we post a book review on a subject related to acting, health, personal growth or anything related to the showbiz industry. This time its dedicated to all those women (although men have been known to act up like this too) that wish you something –other-than-the-best. It’s “Trippin the Prom Queen” by Susan Shapiro Barash.

The author talks about how women can be heir own worst enemy and exposes the dark world of female envy and competition. She dissects the myths about female friendships and exposes the true relationship: rivalry.

The book explains which areas women are most competitive in, how different they are from men, when its healthy competition and when its not, and uses these beliefs to then talk about how they can form strong relationships with both friends and colleagues, and grow to be strong and self sufficient.

Is it worth reading? It can…

SHOULD WE BE AFRAID TO LOSE OUR JOBS TO ROBOT ACTORS?

Koroko Dreams and Osaka University have built a bizarre android-like robotic actress that can speak, blink, and is even capable of several different human-like facial expressions (which is a few more than some “real” actors and actresses..you know who I mean). They’re revealed the Actroid off at the International Robot Exhibition at the Tokyo Big Sight exhibition center.

THE HARD COLD FACTS ABOUT MONEY…

<br />

Is it possible to earn a living as an actor? Bet you’ve heard that before…Yes, but it is difficult. According to SAG’s records, only 6% of the almost 100,000 actors who are already in the union make what SAG speaks of as “middle-class” earnings of $30,000 to $70,000 a year, and only 2% make over $100,000 annually…
