    How do you become comfortable with yourself

    Hi there! I'm a trained actor and the one aspect that has alluded to me was pure, unadulterated confidence in oneself and how one uses their body. I've tried a lot of things but it hasn't worked. I kept trying to shape myself into something that I clearly am...

    Self-tape tip (from the casting side)

    I've been reviewing a lot of auditions lately, and I've noticed that the self-tapes that are a little more "produced" (simple light, microphone, clear backdrop, etc.) feel so much more effective than the badly lit ones with bad audio and a cluttered...

    Instagram account reached out, best response?

    Ok so an Instagram account called Urban Art House Films just reached out to me, and I don't know what to say. I don't really know why, as I only have one thing on my account that signals that I am interested in acting(im private), and it has to do with the...

    Relaxation feeling

    What does being relaxed feel like? I’ve heard tension is the actors worst enemy, and I’ve read how crucial relaxation is for actors and their work, and I’ve tried relaxation exercises before. But what does relaxation / being relaxed feel like? How can I tell...
