Sick this Weekend
Hey People!
Sorry I didn't post over the weekend, I was personally very sick since I got home from Ft Gordon last week. I think that the new strain of...well, they said it was Swine Flu, but it certainly made me very sick. I'm recovering well now.
I will post some more job ads as I get information about them. Thanks for reading!

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.

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.

"Had there been in White Fang's nature any possibility, no matter how remote, of his ever comign to fraternize with hiw own kind, such possibility was irretrievably destroyed when he was made leader of the sled-team." -White Fange, Part IV, Chapter I
What does it mean to be leader of the pack? Often times, you will be alienated by your success, whether you like it or not.
Is it worth it, to win? To get those roles?
As always, try taking a look at my movie.

Acting a Foolishly
Okay, so this one is a bit of a short story. But I think one of the more important things about producing a film, of any budget, length, and seriousness, is that you have a strong director. He needs to be able to manage all of the people involved in the shoot, and it is to his vision that you must defer when making a film.
He must be involved, at every level of production. He must obtain quality footage and performances, he needs to make sure that actors understand their roles and the plot as a whole, and he needs to make sure that the editing goes smoothly to turn the raw footage into something enjoyable.
Of course, this mentality is learned, like all other things. My first production "Four Roses" had alot of flaws in it, but what I can say, is that it was a great learning experience for me and all those involved.

On Air Voice
So, what types of voice work do you like for narration? I'm looking for someone who might be interested in narrating a project for me. Looking for a female with a soothing/calming voice.

Okay, what are yall's opinions on doing pro-bono work for a project? Is that college-era only? Or is it still up in the air, depending upon the project and your situation?

Guerilla Filmmaking Tips
Some of the best things you learn on the job. Always wait five seconds after 'action' before you begin your lines. Water the pavement to give it depth and perspective. For every hour of shooting, expect three hours in post.
Knowing this kinda stuff will make you a better actor, and a better director.
