To Be a Real Actor....

While looking around on the internet I frequently see comments from real actors and from wannabe actors.
Wannabe's say 'Real agents work on a percentage of what you make'. And while that is certainly true for
REAL ACTORS that have worked, studied and struggled to get where they are, this statement hardly applies
to those that have done very little to nothing to enhance their skills or careers. What is ten or fifteen percent of
nothing. Oh yes, it's nothing right. Many beginners feel that they are naturally talented enough to compete with
trained serious actors. That is almost laughable.
Just an observation. Think about it, if you are one of those 'naturals'.
Want to breathe some life into your acting career? Try getting prepared first and go a little beyond your friends and
neighbors telling you how they think you would fare.
Once again. ' IF YOU KEEP ON DOING WHAT YOU ALWAYS DID, YOU'LL ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU ALWAYS GOT".

The expansion of the thriving film and television industry in Georgia is wonderful.
The industry historically has offered many, many good jobs and careers to those
associated in this, and with this endeavor From the actors/actresses to the producers,
directors and all of those incredible crew members that we hardly ever see, but play
such an integral role in the entire product.
We are glad to be a part of it

Comments on acting from an actor.

With this role I wish I'd had a chance to meet Rene. In general, I don't know if I can answer that.
I was acting since I was a kid, going to drama classes and being involved in every school play
and musical that I could get my hands on. So it was part of me from a very early age. It has
always felt like a very organic process and ongoing journey. That's what I've love about it, the 
journey. That is the joy of it ,not knowing certain things and discovering them along the way.
I imagine that happens until the day you die.

You'd have to be there to understand.

Be Prepared

Actors love to act, but fear the audition. Why?

Because if you don't get the audition done correctly and well, then the casting director or director cannot see you ability, and you will be sitting at home watching someone else doing 'your job', while you prepare for your next audition. Right?

We (you) can only do what you can do. You portray the character to be as you see the character. You can control your preparation. And while i'm on that particular subject let me interject this. {WAY TOO MANY BEGINNERS THINK THEY ARE PREPARED WHEN IN FACT THEY ARE NOT EVEN CLOSE}. That said let me continue. Actors can get so focused on the audition, the scene, trying to be perfect that they blow the whole thing. If you have actually studied acting and not just watched other actors, then you are almost there.

My advice. relax and enjoy yourself.

Passion is Key

They have a passion for perfection.

The most important thing to know about true genius, It is that it's not simply analogous to intellect. "At a certain point in your life, it becomes apparent that smart people are a dime a dozen. What really makes someone special is if they're imaginative. If they think different," 

So, when in pursuit of whatever it is that you want to do with your life, be serious about it 'AND MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND'. You are going to get advice from everyone from your parents to your friends. And they are going by WHAT THEY THINK THEY KNOW about what YOU want to do with your life. Certainly, they are trying to help, they care for you and want you to succeed. It's just that most of the time they, at the core, probably really don't know much about the career YOU want.

Be nice.

The Blog..

The only real way for people to know who you are, who you really are is to look back on your failures. These can be defining, explaining some of the areas you are least confident. Many times these failures point the true path forward.

I've said this many times before, and I was not the first one to do so. "IF YOU KEEP ON DOING WHAT YOU ALWAYS DID, YOU WILL ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU ALWAYS GOT"
