No Winning Entry

Currently, we've been unable to find a suitable entry to win our contest. Which for me, is alright. Its very early in the birth of this blog, so I don't mind too much!

However, I will be hosting another contest, on this blog, and several of my others. The concept of this contest is 'horror' theme. Here are the ground rules; they aren't set in stone, I'm just developing them for use.

-$0 Budget. You must only use those things which you can find around your home easily enough.

-Horror Genre.

-5 Min Max.

Opinions?

Acting Advice

One of the biggest tasks in acting, is producing tears on stage. Of course, if your the perfection of the artist, then you should be able to deliver. If your focused on the perfection of the art, you may actually find trouble doing this.

But generally, I tend to think most actors, and artists in general perfect the artists, which will in turn perfect the art. But they should be able to delve into their roles and feel a personal connection with them.

If you can't, then draw up on heartbreak, put yourself in that situation. Then add elements of self-pity, like how you were doing your best. Then, focus on something else that someone did near the same time that made you all emo. Then bam, you should be a crying lil whiney biatch in no time.

Define Yourself

Alway define your roles, but never let your roles define you. Stand out and make great performances. Then take risks.

The Value of Roleplay

If you aren't familiar with the term, it is the essence of acting. Taking yourself out of the equasion and pretending to be someone else.

If you aren't familiar, there are a series of games, called Role-Playing Games, that help you do this. They are systemic, and very orderly, but the opportunities to practice your craft are endless. Plus, its fun!

So pick up a copy of Dungeons and Dragons today!

The Value of a Body of Work

Okay, so I was reading an actress' blog. I wont tell you which one, mostly because I forget her name. But she is on the office, if that matters.

But her best advice, is that your first priority, in year one of your acting career, shouldn't be to seek out an agent, or to be searching for the great gigs or even paying gigs. Your first job should be to build a body of work. She says that her total income in her first year of acting was about $100.

So keep that in mind. Sometimes its more important to expand your craft, than it is to jump right into a role and try to get paid.
