    Focus not in the present.

    So, I have noticed a habit that I have. I have ADD, so that might factor into this as well. The habit I have is sometimes, I’ll get bored with a show that I’m doing, and even if I’ve got a decent-sized part in it, I’ll just hit this phase where I’ll think...

    Adult playing child character

    Any advice for an adult actor who has to play a 'smart' 10 year old boy on stage? Its difficult to find a middle ground between well-educated and childish as some of the dialogue is quite mature for the age. I assume its mainly changing energy levels etc but...

    Is it worth it?

    A while ago I got cast in a play at my drama school. At the point that I was cast, the play itself hadn't been written yet, it is newly devised and we only new the subject matter. It sounded really promising though and I was really proud of getting the role!...

    Going rate for a beginner voice actor?

    Is this a decent going rate? Absurd? When I have looked online it sounds a bit higher than this but I’m new… “as you are new to voice over field, we will be able to offer $15 to $30 per 10,000 words of raw audio”

    I was born in the states and my life is now in a non English speaking country. I don’t want to be an actress where I live because I don’t have control over my accent in that language. What do I do?

    I gave up acting because I felt like my choice is between living where I live and acting and I’m sad… I’ve rejected so many artistic ventures in my life because they aren’t realistic and I’m trying to build a life. But sometimes I wonder about leaving it all...
