5 Biggest Mistakes a Theater Actor Makes On a Film Set

5 Biggest Mistakes a Theater Actor Makes On a Film Set:

#5 is something I practice every time I’m on a film set, whether I’m an actor or on the crew. If someone starts complaining, I nod my head, and get away from them as soon as possible. I love working in TV/Film/Theater. I have nothing to complain about. And the rare occasion that I do, I tell someone who can help me fix that specific problem.

Be a partner. Not a project.

How To Define Your Type, Create Your Brand and Write a Logline:

While I’m not a fan of “Branding” yourself (really, it’s like wearing JUICY sweatpants all the time…UCH!), this article is worth a read. It would be interesting to see the response I’d get with a Logline on my resume…hummm..

Why Being Yourself Will Land You the Role:

Thanks, Marci Phillips!

We (actors) get so caught up in “creating a character” that we forget that the most interesting and complex person is already there - you!

Be yourself next time. See where it takes you!

ADR

ADR: Automated Dialog Replacement.

Had my first ADR session last week, for a movie I did last summer. That was a blast. I love voice recording. This was a trip, because I had to watch the video of myself and match my mouth exactly. It was a short session (3 lines), but so much fun.

It made me realize that I’d really enjoy doing animation voice over, or videogame voice over.

Why You Need To Pay Attention To Your Heart as an Actor

Why You Need To Pay Attention To Your Heart as an Actor:

So true. Actors need to be aware. BE AWARE. Of everything. Of the other person(s) in the scene; of the furniture, scenery or camera equipment around them; of the time of day in real life versus the time of day in the scene; of the lines on the page; but most of all, they need to be aware of THEMSELVES.

Do pilots just get in the cockpit and “wing” it? (I see what I did there!) Well, actors can’t do that on stage or screen either. It’s a profession. And the camera doesn’t lie.
