This week, we get up close and personal with actor Walles Hamonde to find out what it was like working on one of the biggest films of 2016, what Walles has coming up, and what his favourite ever role would be. But first up, here’s a little bit about Walles himself: Walles Hamonde competed as a […]
What a lovely accolade. This week we found out that B.A.B.E. has been awarded top 20 acting blogs on the planet! Whoop whoop! The planet…that feels like quite a big deal. This makes us feel all warm and fuzzy…just like when you secretly pee in the shower (kidding! sort of). So without further ado, here’s […]
A baby arrives and just like that, my life is turned upside down. I’m awake when I should be asleep, sleeping when I would normally be happily awake. I fall asleep almost instantly if I’m horizontal, and I was already a good sleeper. Otto is my world now (well at least full time for the […]
In the interest of transparency ALWAYS with my clients, my readers, my friends, I would love to share a story. For most of this year, I’ve had “other jobs”. It’s frustrating as hell.

Yep, spread it out and don on your diva garments like the Hollywood wannabees you are. It’s one of my pet peeves and it happened again in a casting last week. I was waiting quietly for my turn to be called in, and had put my handbag underneath the seat and filled out the clipboard […]
I’ve spoken about Emily Grace before. I have even done a webinar with her once which was a tonne of fun. And so I’m back to share her latest news because I really rate Emily. But firstly, the questions Emily wants you to answer are – Are you frustrated by the audition process? Do you […]
When we spend our lives improving our craft, it’s important that we consider every aspect of what we do and where we can learn. Courses offer us insightful lessons into how to act, getting a team behind us help with the management of our business, and getting in the room helps us with booking jobs. […]
