He idolized it all out of proportion.” Uh, no, make that: “He-he…romanticized it all out of proportion. Now…to him…no matter what the season was, this was still a town that existed in black and white and pulsated to the great tunes of George Gershwin.” Ahhh, now let me start this over. “Chapter… Continue reading MONOLOGUE: “Manhattan” By Woody Allen. (Male, contemporary) If you haven’t heard of it, it goes something like this: A young actress moves to Hollywood to start her acting career. She takes some classes, gets an agent and books a role on a TV show. Then she books another small part and another and another. Maybe a dry spell here or there, but first year out of the gate and she ends up booking a good dozen or so roles… Continue reading THE SECOND YEAR CURSE…
Here is a list of things that will get you a good head start on your fellow auditioners; 1. LINES - learn them. If you do not you will have no chance ofbeing picked, it shows you are lazy and incompetant. Learn your lines and the lines of the people playing with you too, so when they forget you can then remind them – and sometimes the agent asks you to stand in and read the lines with the rest of the ‘contestants’ – if this happens guess who has a better chance of getting the part.

Here is a very interesting comment from “Actor Growth” about how you only get one chance to make a great impression. Do you agree? I personally believe it isnt until the SAME casting director sees you SEVERAL times that he will choose to make a gamble on you. Think about it this way: would you hire someone who was good but a complete unkown to you? Or would ou rather hire someone good but that you have seen perform well in several occassions, has proven to always be on time, have a nice attitude and always have his sides memorized prior to the audition?
In this day and age you have to stay connected. There is no way I could stress this enough. As an actor you have to be available for: Agents, CDs, fellow actors, Possible contacts, Directors… And I dont mean just by having a simple phone with you. Now-a-days you have to be reachable by email as well. If a Casting director is going through his list of possible actors to call in for an audition and he cant reach you he will immediately go to the next name on his list.
The Century Of The Self…(
Like every week we post a book review on a subject related to acting, health, personal growth or anything related to the showbiz industry. In this case its one of the Applause books: “Nineteenth Century American Plays”
Here is something you dont see everyday. 8 Stars posed for french ELLE magazine without so much as mascara. Completely nude when it comes to makeup and photoshop, these stars advocate the natural beuty instead of the airbrushed orange figurines we seem to be setting as a standard. I personally think this is a wonderful statement.
Gen Yers are often ridiculed for their desire to get to the top fast. Most of us feel, however, that there is nothing wrong with being young and ambitious. But, if you’re making the choice to be on the fast track, be prepared; it’s not all fun and games:
