The job of a lead actor in a feature film is… Feature film acting is the most difficult because of four things: Continue reading YOUR JOB AS AN ACTOR. Productivity 501 has a good article this week worth checking out that talks about why as we get older we lose certain levels of our creativity due to our “social” behavior.

Don’t expect all the usual trimmings on the Hollywood party circuit this holiday season. Showbiz party planners have begun to scale back soirees as part of industry wide belt-tightening. Several congloms have canceled their holiday bashes, while others are simply toning down the revelry. After-preem bashes are also being reassessed in this economy. Continue reading HOLLYWOOD CUTS DOWN ON THE PARTIES… Sometimes, stars don’t have to work and sweat their way to a first gig. Sometimes, their dads, mothers, relatives or friends give them that shot. Is it fair? Is it decent. Let me put it this way. CONTACTS are fundamental in this business. Making them from scratch or having some come as inheritance makes no difference. You need them. And every “smart” actor knows how hard this business is so will use anything they can to get a big break. So if you have someone who can help you: USE THEM. Dont try and be a martyr by saying things like: “I want to make it on my own…”. Its not how the world works. Its not real, and its not smart. NOBODY makes it in this world alone, not in this one or any other profession. So you need to stop holding yourself back and try and contact every… Continue reading WHATS IN A NAME?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder—68 different beholders in the case of Tommer Leyvand’s new “beautification engine.” The software, featured in a story in the New York Times, takes preferences from a poll of 68 men and women from Israel and Germany who looked at pictures and chose the most beautiful subjects. Measuring common traits like smaller eyes, rounder chins and higher foreheads… Continue reading TECHNOLOGY IS OUR FRIEND… BUT CAN IT MAKE YOU PRETTIER?? Its IMPERATIVE that you know each of these positions before you actually work on set if you dont want to sound amateur at work. Learn them, memorize them, and mainly respect them. These are the people that ultimately make you look good…or not… Continue reading IMPORTANT: YOUR CO-WORKERS ON SET One of the best things you can do to learn of what goes on behind the scenes of a movie if you arent able to get a job there (yet!) is watch the millions of “making of viedeos”. Some are extremely helpful and others just give you an insight into the personalities and behaviour of professional actors which is also greatly helpful. .. Continue reading “MAKING OF” VIDEOS
The author lets us know she bases her work on “the conviction that while all is present in nature, our natural instincts have been crippled from birth by the conditioning of our society”. And that’s fine, but the premise doesn’t really tell us exactly what our society has ruined and what raw talent we wont be able to perfect. She tells us an actor needs precise exercise and clear understanding to liberate all his true possibilities. Berry also claims that past techniques are a myth and covers both exercises on pronounciation with subjects such as: relaxation and breathing, muscularity of the toungue and mouth, singing… So, Is… Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: VOICE AND THE ACTOR by Cicely Berry
Meisner didn’t invent this concept but it is the principle upon which his technique is based. The technique is often mistakenly identified exclusively by his Continue reading BASICS OF THE MEISNER TECHNIQUE Im not sure if this is going to be a good movie or not, but I think the mere concept of it deserves a minute of your time. Think: would you be capable of saying YES to everything and anything for that long? What about a day? What about an hour?

After reading Stanislavsky’s dictum about the necessity of the actors being private in public, Strasberg created the private moment exercise. He viewed the exercise as a corrective for actors who were inhibited by the presence of an audience. By enacting a moment of true privacy in front of people, Strasberg hoped to get them to confront the issue and conquer it. He realized we do private things when we are alone, and we know they are really private when we cant continue doing them if someone walks in the room. Thus, in the private moment, the actor is asked to do something “that they do in real life, but which even in life is so private, when anyone comes in, they have to stop doing it”. Consequently actors sang, danced and even performed acts of private grooming. BUT Strasbergs’ new exercise was vilified from many quarters as word of… Continue reading ABOUT THE METHODS’ “PRIVATE MOMENT” EXERCISE Elizabeth Dillon at HB Studios in NY was one of the best teachers for beginning actors in the business. Her ability to be clear about acting choices set her apart from all the other teachers. Dillon said drama is heightened reality. Not just a sigh, but the most profound sigh. Not just a tear, but the most poignant tear. Not just a laugh, but a contagious laugh… Continue reading SEPARATING YOURSELF FROM THE PACK |
