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 In modern times we are used to getting things done fast. Whether it be due to a lack of time or in other cases laziness, we like immediate results. But ACTING IS A MARATHON, not a fast sprint. So its imperative that as actors we develop a patience. You will spend alot of time waiting for a call, or an answer, or even success… Continue reading HOLD YOUR HORSES! DEVELOPING PATIENCE 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.

Continue reading QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF BEFORE GOING INTO THE ACTING BUSINESS 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”.,, Continue reading IS YOUR IMAGE AND PHYSICALITY YOUR DESTINY??

Sometimes actors are accused of having extremely high egos, vanity and even cockyness.

First of all let me get things straight: auditioning and managing your career IS a job. You have many responsibilities both on a daily level as a longer-term level, so if you don’t feel like you are working hard even without having a steady role, then you are doing something very wrong.
