Tips For The Working Actor.....

Today I did another free acting workshop for new/upcoming actors. All I can say is Wow! It's nice speaking to a full house! Definitely over 30 people and the workshop place (Actorsite) provided free pizza. Nice. In addition, they opened it to current members as well as non-members (with hopes that maybe they'll become new members). Smart on their part if you ask me.

I had fun sharing everything that I've learned in the short time that I've been here and what has been working for me. I feel good about giving back and helping others. Especially when I've seen sooo many scams and money making schemes that try to take advantage of our dreams and passion for this business. Although I'm sometimes tempted to start doing these on a regular basis around LA and around the country for that matter. Who has time for that? With drop-offs, classes, workshops, auditions, bookings, etc. There's no way I could fully commit to something like that. Maybe one day I'll finish this book and I'll reach more actors that way..that would be nice. (Anyone take dictation out there?! I mean, really, who has the time?)

I'm of the mind, that if you spread yourself too thin on too many tasks...you'll never do anything right. There's something to be said for having ONE sole purpose. ONE focus that you can concentrate all your positive energy towards. With God's Blessing, right now my career has one focus and one focus only. Acting. Booking gigs, getting seen, establishing relationships, etc. Maybe one day I'll be able to venture into a travelling workshop, classes, career mentoring, etc. Right now, Daddy just needs to book a gig!! Smile.

Thanks again to all those who were in attendance!
