  Session started in the morning today which was a semi surprise as the coach had to attend an event. It was kind of an interesting day as I did the very serious scene. As it turned out, I kind of accidentally went too deep into the scene where I got...

  Posted on Monday December 7th, 2009 at 01:12 in choices, direction, career goals, acting skills and training, audition workshop

  Looks like this month there is a small class due to a lot of people being on vacation. The audition side this week revolved around a police officer who recently lost his wife and child. At the same time, he was mad at a colleague for doing a sloppy ...

  Was kind of a funny build up to the workshop today. At first the acting coach texted me yesterday saying he had difficulties finding myself and another person a scene to do. Basically, he wanted to challenge us but said that we both usually take di...

• Audition Workshop Day 15

  Posted on Sunday October 25th, 2009 at 23:10 in choices, interpretation, direction, acting skills and training, audition workshop

  It was another pretty standard day in terms of what we did. There was one thing interesting though. The sides that we got dealt with some kind of thief that was orchestrating a robbery as it was his job to scout the place out for a few days. In th...

• Audition Workshop Day 14

  Posted on Monday October 19th, 2009 at 00:27 in choices, interpretation, direction, acting skills and training, short piece, audition workshop

  Today was kind of funny for me. The scene that was given was extremely awkward when it came time to perform it. The idea of the audition side revolved around a law firm where there was an older female lawyer who hires a younger paralegal to help he...

• Audition Workshop Day 13

  Wasn’t sure if there was going to be a class today since it is Thanksgiving holiday week here and many people have left for a long weekend vacation. But, it did happen as enough people were around still. It was fairly the same routine today where...

• Audition Workshop Day 12

  Posted on Sunday October 4th, 2009 at 23:22 in choices, interpretation, direction, acting skills and training, cold read, audition workshop, short scenes

  Today we were challenged with another cold audition session. The interesting thing about this one is that for the role of the guys there was literally only like 4 lines of dialogue and the person before had like 2. However, there were large amounts...

• Audition Workshop Day 11

  Posted on Sunday September 27th, 2009 at 23:19 in balance, intensity, direction, callback, props, camera angles, acting skills and training, audition workshop

  This week we actually did the exact same scenes as last week due to a technical difficulty where we were unable to watch our scenes and the fact that the camera wasn’t functional anymore. In many ways, I guess you can consider this like a callback...

• Audition Workshop Day 10

  Posted on Monday September 21st, 2009 at 01:05 in intensity, direction, props, camera angles, acting skills and training, audition workshop

  So this week all of the guys were given a pretty crazy scene where the character was literally mad and yelling pretty much through the whole piece. Basically, he was a guy that was going to do a C section on a lady to get a baby out and has a lot o...

• Audition Workshop Day 3

  Posted on Sunday July 19th, 2009 at 20:17 in training, style, personality, direction, acting skills and training, audition workshop, cold reads, physical gesture

  Today we did another round of cold reads. It was kind of surprising for most as people thought we would be doing scenes where we would get one night to prepare it in an effort to pretend that this is an audition for a role that you are seriously bei...

• Audition Workshop Day 2

  Posted on Sunday July 12th, 2009 at 22:10 in training, direction, acting skills and training, audition workshop, cold reads, making it your own, room personality

  It was a small class today again with three people. However, there was one new student as another lady was on vacation. So regularly I guess we can expect about four people. The focus today was on cold reads where we had absolutely no time to prep...

• Audition Workshop Day 1

  Posted on Sunday July 5th, 2009 at 23:19 in training, direction, acting skills and training, audition workshop, character interpretation

  First day of the workshop and it was kind of surprising as there was only three of us in the class. Surprising as in the e-mail it looked like there was about six of us originally. There was one lady in the group who I actually saw before from the ...

• Getting Direction From The Stargate Director

  Posted on Tuesday June 30th, 2009 at 21:42 in Director, Background, ad, continuity, direction, extra work, stargate universe, assistant director

  Interesting day this was. I was back on Stargate Universe today as expected as part of a continuity shot from last week. Let’s just say, today involved work that required me to be on the ground a lot which was unexpected. However, another thing ...

• Audition Direction Terminology And Lingo

  Posted on Tuesday March 10th, 2009 at 01:09 in Acting, audition, direction, casting director, film and television, actor skills

  In the workshop one topic that came up is that how as an actor you have to understand the strange terminology that some casting directors use when they are trying to get you to enact the scene in a certain way. For example, they could tell you to be...
