Tools: You! Backstage

A short interview on your own website. Pick questions from the list or write your own, then answer them in your own voice. This is the one part of an actor's site that is allowed to sound like a person rather than a resume, so keep the answers short, specific and honest, and it will do more for you than another paragraph of biography. Three or four good answers beat a dozen thin ones. You can change or remove any of them at any time.

You! Backstage is a published interview about you and your work, and this page is where you write it. Answer five questions about your career, then email us. We read what you wrote and post an article about you on our blog. A question goes in the first box. Write the one you wish an interviewer would ask you. The answer goes underneath. Take the space: a few sentences reads better than one line. Save this Question files it and empties the form, ready for the next one. Everything you have answered sits beside the form. The pencil edits an answer and the trash icon removes it. Five answers is the whole requirement. Write them once, and the article follows.
