A Little Fun…

There comes a time in every My Acting Site blog post where the blogger is entitled to blog about something unrelated to acting. So here it is! Last night I went to a gymnastics class. Not only was it so fun, but it was also great exercise. I used to do gymnastics as a child …

Trusting Your Agents

Yesterday I auditioned for a film. The character breakdown said that the girl I was audition for was “cute and petite”. I have no doubt that I am cute, but being that I am 5’8″ and of a normal body type, I don’t every usually consider myself to be “petite” because I am not. Reading …

A Lesson Learned

Recently I went to an audition where the line was ALL IN CAPS with exclamation points at the end of it!!! The audition and waiting space were close together, and with thin walls I could hear a lot of the other auditions going on. Much to my surprise and the chagrin of other actors, I …

     Being an actor is an interesting profession. A lot of people think it is something you just “fall into” or something that you don’t necessarily need an education in to succeed. While it is true that a lot of actors who are highly successful did not attend a typical school (aka college) this does not …

French Film

     When it comes to film, there’s one culture that knows how to nail a story and tell it through several different ones that you never think have anything to do with each other, but always end up cumulating in the most beautiful of ways. This is French Film. There is a certain genius to it …
