Let me introduce you to my friend Dan Logwood. We go way back to 1999 when we crossed paths as extras on the set of Madonna's "The Next Best Thing". It was a thrilling experience, spending the day playing with kids, enjoying amusement park rides, and indulging in a sumptuous catered lunch. Fast forward to two weeks ago…

Three weeks ago, a major TV network placed me under contract; however, I suspect whoever is in charge of writing the contracts issued me an incorrect pay value on the contract. Moreover, they haven't paid me. I filed a claim with SAG-AFTRA, and the claim bounced around their offices this past week. I'm not sure my unio…

If you're not booking auditions (in the U.S.A.), it's not your fault. Stop blaming yourself. You haven't upset your agent, if you have one, and casting directors aren't out to get you for some misstep you think you took. Another strike looms in Hollywood. This time it involves members of two unions: The Teamsters and…

I got into voice acting over ten years ago and thought it was all about commercials. It turns out it's not; in fact, narrative stuff like explainer videos, audiobooks, and e-learning are a much larger part of the voice-acting universe. I find narration lots more exciting than short commercial scripts and easier to lear…

- Using lines as an excuse - “When I know the lines I’ll be able to perform the scene better” - this is an excuse to cover up many things, mainly inhibitions, the fear of trying something or not knowing what to do because you haven’t read the scene/script enough. As Lee Strasberg (The Method guru) once said, learning l…

This is perhaps the dumbest question I have ever had because I should have asked this question at FADE IN.
