So you want to be an Actor ? ! ?

There are a few basic rules that I let everyone know before they join the production cast or crew.

 These rules apply to everyone.

The most important.

We can't use you if you don't show up!

If you are on set we WILL get you acting. If you blow off an appointment you WILL be forgotten.

The second rule.

Communication is the key!

You have to let us know what your doing. If your running late call.
If you can think of some ideas for your character. Let us know.
If something about the production is rubbing you the wrong way.
Talk to us. We can't make good entertainment.
If we don't know what's on your mind.

The third rule.

 Read the script!!

 We post the script online so you can decide if this is a project you want to be a part of. Please read it before your first meeting.
If you have been cast for a role. Study and learn your lines and the actions that go along with it. If you have a problem reading it on-line. See rule #2. E-mail or call us. I can send a copy via e-mail or help you understand how to make what's online work.

The fourth rule.

Tolerance!

If you can't work with people who are different than you.
Please don't bother. This is a VERY different group.
You have to learn to deal with other personalities.

The Fifth rule.

Speak English!

A mastery of english is essential. Please accents are acceptable, but you have to be able to communicate with the rest of the cast and crew effectively.

The sixth rule.

Be able to take direction.

I need to be able to direct you.
You have to be able to follow instructions.

Otherwise your wasting not just your time,
but the time of everyone else on set.

The Seventh Sign

Don't do a read. Act.

 Don't be afraid to spit when you perform.
Don't stop if you think you are doing something stupid. Being an actor requires flair, guts, and not being afraid to do something that others would not do. If you can't act interesting. Then people will not want to watch you.

If your doing your best. I'll be very happy. If your not putting in any extra effort. We will be able to tell.... and so will an audience.
 
 

    Overall that's it. There are benefits to being a part of something that will stay forever. Movies make you immortal after a fashion. Thanks for taking the time to read this. I hope we can all tell great tales together.
