The industry was relentless when it came to the treatment of actors. Fame, in all its shallow glory, was a high price to pay for the compensation of no personal life and no personal choice. Actors were required to play the roles they were assigned to without question or argument, made to indulge in…
Acting emanates from somewhere INSIDE the actor. Studies the role closely, uses imagination, lives the life of the character.…
I had started to work for Richard and the idea of working as a movie star was still uncertain. I was not thinking or the idea of the movie role of being an actress, but I wanted to make a good job because I liked how much money I made. There were many people who liked me and saw my abilities and creativity in my first movie. My first movie as amazing but I kept hoping to succeed after my high school. I wanted to study acting in France, but I was starting with the architecture the same time. I could not do both at the same time. I worked with other movie stars and I was the main actress for almost all the movies. Let me tell you something; I’m who I’m. in…
RH: Why did you decide to become an actress? What kind of training have you had?…
It is highly probable that in an adults work, disagreements with others will occur. In the majority of cases, this is down to a lack of communication or miscommunication. However, these disagreements should be handled very carefully so that the negatively feelings disappear afterwards. Adults can misread or perceive information wrongly and might think someone has communicated something that is the completely the opposite of what they actually were trying to communicate. Blame is often put on others for saying things that can be ambiguous or for having a different view.…

After reading the first part of Respect for Acting by Uta Hagan I have a newfound respect for actors and all that they go through to obtain the true character in which they are playing. As someone who has never neither acted nor read anything about performing, this has opened my eyes to all of the work that these actors go through on a daily basis for the sheer enjoyment of their audience. While reading over the chapters in this book there are a few key concepts that I found to be interesting.…
2. Auditions take place in order to find the best actor to play each role in the film.…
As I was beginning a small career in the entertainment business, my mother was my source of encouragement. She inspired me to continue in the entertainment business because she knew that this was an opportunity of a life time. By the time I was eleven, I began using my voice in Spanish-language version of American films. Acting was becoming clear to me that it was my new calling and I cherished it more than singing and dancing. Then I received my first Broadway role at age thirteen where I was passing eleven and looking as if I was nine. I always looked young for my age. The Broadway drama I stared in was called Skydrift. Shortly after my appearance in the Broadway show, I was contacted by Hollywood talent scouts. The scout informed me that when the time was right he would notify me.…
Acting has always been an interest of mine; I enjoy entertaining people and expressing my feelings through words, exaggerated facial expressions and body movements. My family and friends have always said I am very dramatic and humorous so I know this would be a great career for me; this is why I am so dedicated and interested in pursuing this career.…
Throughout my school life I have taken part in many different performances that were put on show to the public. I acted in numerous short films with the A level film study classes and studied drama at and A level. One of my earliest works was acting in my primary school productions of Wizard of Oz and Cinderella; and in secondary I was in the school production of Charlie and the chocolate factory. As I got older I discovered acting in films as opposed to stage productions. I thoroughly enjoy both sides of acting; stage and films. During my time at Chestnut Grove 6th form I was asked to act in numerous short films created by the A level film studies class as my talent had been widely recognised throughout the 6th form. A short film I was acting in called ‘Double Crossed’ as a gang leader; was then used for two students A level course work in film studies. Whilst making this film I felt alive, the constant re taking of shots may annoy some people but I take it as…
I started theatre in sixth grade, when I was in the ensemble of the Music Man at CAST Summer. From there, I gradually became more interested and I started auditioning for every play season. When I got to OPRF, the stakes exponentially grew. We had kids coming in from BRAVO, Ovation academy, all highly prestigious youth theaters in Oak Park. Acting became less of a pastime for me and more a defining way of life at OPRF. This year, I was lucky enough to get cast in a play, a feat I told myself I could never accomplish.…
As an actor, how would you perform Masha and Medvedenko at two points of the play, communicating their relationship to the audience?…
Ideally, my life one year from now will revolve around making my lifelong dream of becoming an actress a reality. As of right now, I am actively auditioning for and participating in my hometown's non-profit theater group, in order to get more experience under my belt before beginning to pursue acting professionally. When that time comes, I'd like to be living in either Seattle, Washington or San Francisco, California. I've made this decision because those are two of my favorite cities in America, and also because my two colleges of choice are in aforementioned cities. I would like to be progressing towards my Theater major, and maybe a minor in either Game Design, Musical Theater, or Original Works (writing plays, films, etc). Meanwhile, I'd like to get some sort of job that will support me in paying my college dues and buying the daily necessities. I'd hope that I can stay in touch with the friend I have now, but also branch out and make new friends in the process. I would definitely like to have more friends that appreciate the work that I want to make of my life as much as I do. Socially, I'd like to try to find a steady balance between work and play. I'm not very social at present time, so I think I'd like to get out more with the people I meet to experience the world in a new light. I don't necessarily need a significant other, but if I find someone who I am happy with and who supports my constant modus operandi of dreaming big and shooting for the stars, then I suppose that would be nice. Overall, I'm not looking to become a superstar whose face is plastered all over the tabloids. My ideal situation would be participating in a thriving theater group, my name and face being able to be recognized by those who enjoy my work as much as I do. I would just like to say to people I meet that I do what I love on a daily basis. Not a job, but a…
