The Actors Voice, 9/17/07
Hi Everyone!
Here's how today's The Actors Voice starts out.
===========
Doing Theatre
As you may recall from a column two months ago, I'm adding some content here at the Showfax archives that originated in my first book: Casting Qs. So, here's another of the chapters. This one, on the importance of doing theatre in a film-and-TV town, features direct quotes from 22 casting directors. Enjoy!
Casting directors always advise actors, "Do theatre. Get involved in theatre. Do a play. Period." Actors write me to ask, "Does that really work?" So, I posed a few questions to several busy casting directors, in an attempt to find out precisely why they so strongly recommend working in theatre (and, perhaps more importantly to the actors reading, whether or not CDs attend theatre and, if they do, how the heck to get 'em to show up).
===========
Continue reading this column now, along with a Your Turn in which the stand-in question from a few weeks back is answered at Showfax.com.
As always, THANK YOU for reading!
And!!
Be sure to visit The Actors Voice: POV for the first POV in a four-part series from Prague-based CD, Nancy Bishop.
Woo hoo!
Cheers,
-Bon.
Live your dreams! If you don't, someone else will.
