Taking Classes
Every agent you have ever met will tell you that classes are absolutely necessary and inevitable. To many actors, classes are just another part of life; like it or not you have to take them. I used to firmly believe this to be true as well. Even though I hated my acting class and just …
Best People Watching Places
As an actor something that you can do that is fun and helpful to your career is people watching! I have heard time and time again in multiple acting classes that people watching can be one of the most beneficial things you can do in the ways of character development. I have found this …
The Hatchery Press
As a writer, it can be easy to feel alone. It seems as though all writers are sitting in their homes or in the far back corner of a café hunched behind the screen of their laptops. Unapproachable is the most ginger way I could describe the look of a writer. But I’ve been …

Theatrical Auditions
I have gotten quite a few auditions for stage plays lately from my agents. Strange, I know, as I live in Los Angles and this is the city for TV and Film, but I take what I get! I did a lot of theatre during my years in school so I expected that they …
Binder Conference (Part II)

It’s the perfect precursor to this blog!). This blog will be geared towards the writer/actors of My Acting Site; there was no shortage of …
