The telegraph talked about it, I’ve been interviewed about it, it has happened to me, my friends, and others.

Actors roll up. It’s now a new year, full of all the emotional highs and lows we expect as we step into a new year of adventure. And with that comes the usual fear and trepidation we associate with our acting goals. I guess we all want to be stupidly successful but at the same […]
To all my friends, family, supporters, challengers and more, thank you! I don’t know where I would be today if I wasn’t truly inspired by so many people along the way.

And it all focuses around […]
Felicity Jurd first appeared on B.A.B.E. a few months back with a wonderful post on voice overs. Felicity is now back to share some of the secrets to the art of performance…rehearsal! I hope you enjoy. The secret to the art of performance – By Felicity Jurd Lately in my classes, I have been struck by the number […]
As you will see in my e-blog (posting soon) I was delighted to see some beautiful sharing on set from co-workers recently.
