Can we talk about the ghetto fabulous side of Atlanta’s acting industry for a second? 😭 No shade to Tyler Perry. Love him down, actually. He’s found what works for him, whether that’s what people genuinely resonate with or what the general public already expects from Black storytelling. But outside of that, what is goi…

Disclaimer: I'm not an actor, just a curious audience member! I recently watched "An incredibly nerdy video about bodyweight core training" by Mark Wildman And it seemed pretty hardcore, but also flexible. It made me curious about how much that matches how actors/stunt people regularly do things.

I’m curious to hear everyone’s genuinely unpopular opinions about the acting industry. Not just the usual advice about rejection or how competitive it is, but the things people might disagree with you on. For example, I think social media followers and connections can sometimes give actors an advantage over equally tal…

I've been doing voice work professionally for a few years, and one thing I've been thinking about lately is how to keep performances feeling fresh when you're recording frequently. I have my usual preparation and recording routines, but I'm always curious how other performers approach this. Do you change up your warmup…

As an actor, I am more inclined to make bold & eccentric choices. Larger than life. But I am not good at appreciating, noticing or employing subtle and specific choices. The small things that say a great deal. For those of you who do, can you share? How did you start to cultivate that? Are you looking for it when you w…
