The circus in your head

The very idea of “making it happen” (acting) can sometimes feel like you have a circus going on in your head. There’s a ringleader shouting “Roll up, roll up ladies and gentleman for this spectacle called your life”. There a clown bumbling around making people laugh cause they don’t know what the hell is really going […]

Acting help needed? Just ask

Yes it’s as simple as that really. Just Ask. What? You just ask for what you want? Yes you absolutely do! When faced with a challenge, chances are you will respond in one of two ways – procrastinate or jump right in and go for it. Sadly, more often than not, I see actors run […]

Empowerment. Say no to the Casting Couch

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

The evil power of the “NO”

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 […]

Chomping down on a bit of healthy reality
