"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.

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.

Acting

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?

Think Victorious

"The victorious warrior wins first, then seeks to go to war, while the defeated goes to war, and then seeks to win." -Sun Tzu

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.

Guerilla Film-Making

Okay, one of the great ways to increase your skills as an actor, as well as to understand the directatorial and editorial processes, is to go about yourself in doing some guerilla film-making. What do I mean by this? Taking out a mini-cam, and trying to do your best to produce something someone might want to watch.

It also will help you to get your name out there, and maybe establish you a beginning fanbase. Thus, it's great self-promotion. ANd if you are good at it, then it might become a successful gig for you.

The best directions for guerilla film-making are to do things you are passionate about, and I would try to stay away from pure fiction. Instead focus on comedic skits or short documentaries. And while this will only be the start of the production/editing world, there is certainly a world of difference between an actor who knows nothing about editing and one who knows that he should give five seconds of quiet before starting his lines. Trust me on that one personally.
