You do you. I’ll do me. See? No competition. #actors : stop thinking SHE is taking all of YOUR roles. stop thinking HE gets all of the opportunities. Last time I checked, there was only one of me and there is only one of YOU. No one can do YOU like YOU can.

I cannot stress the importance of being punctual as an actor. So many people are relying on YOU being on time to get their jobs done - whether it is for an audition, a coaching session, a call time or a headshot session. BE ON TIME. In fact, be early! #actorslife #actortips

Actors: Have you tried visualization? Visualize the PERFECT role for you. Get specific. What would the breakdown say? What kind of project is it? Comedy or drama? Practice this often (daily). Write it all down or tell a friend. This will help make your dreams a reality.

The first and foremost step to achieving confidence in an audition is PREPARATION... if you have at least 24 hours to work on a scene, you should be mostly off book (of course some scenes are longer and more difficult) and definitely be prepared. #actor
