Why you should move back and forth on camera and not side to side...
One of the most common questions I get asked from new actors and even those that have been working for a while is, "Do I need to take acting classes?" After all, they can be expensive, and if you're trying to find time to shoot short films or do community theatre it's not easy to find the time! Here's why I think all actors should take acting classes regularly. ---
Figuring out what to wear to auditions is often the most stressful part of preparing for an audition! After all, you want to look "in character" but still "like you" and of course have something flattering on, but that makes you "pop". Aaagh -- it's enough to make you crazy! Not to worry - here are some simple tips on how to choose the perfect audition outfit. ---
Director Matt Alonzo has a treat for the ambitious creatives out there. This video really hones in on the fact that incredible art has less to do with expensive equipment and more with being a resourceful artist.

Imaginative, chaotic, restless..., the one word to describe the mind of Heath Ledger is perhaps, overdrive. His thought process was constantly on the go trying to figure out what to do next and once figured out, it was constantly on the go to find out how to do it. He longed to express himself with the aim to take his psyche apart piece by piece and recollect everything into something mind twisting. His journey of growing into the artist he became, leading up to creating an iconic character like the Joker in The Dark Knight, you can’t help but notice, there’s a strangely intriguing and haunting similarity between Heath Ledger and the Joker he created. Taking a closer look at his key projects, his first big break was ’10 Things I hate About You’. Following the film’s release, critics and audiences alike were won over by Ledger’s charm at work. But much to his displeasure, he started receiving lead roles similar to what he did in ’10 Things’ as he proved to be so good at it. This is where the industry found out that Ledger’s not the traditional leading actor they thought he was, turning down all these high profile roles being thrown his way as he despised the idea of repeating himself. Even a single thought of doing what he had already done before, felt like wasting time no matter how much money was being put on the table. Ledger wanted the thrill, the pleasure and the risk of creating something new every time he worked on a project which led to him taking on the lead role in ‘A Knight’s Tale’, the story of a peasant who poses as a Knight, competing in tournaments and winning accolades while stacking up friendships with historical figures. A Knight’s tale catapulted Ledger into unanticipated stardom with his face on the posters and the responsibility of promoting the film going from country to country, answering queries in a manner that entices the audiences to go and have a look at the movie. This is where Ledger realized the fame he got, wasn’t really something he wanted. As he continued to understand his own mind, he continued taking on roles that would extract some unusual performances out of him leading up to the biggest challenge of his life. He took on the role of Ennis Del Mar in Brokeback Mountain, the story of a man who develops a complex romantic relation with another man. The film became a sleeper hit, stirring up numerous controversies and landing Ledger his very first Oscar nomination. Perhaps this is where the industry truly understood just what kind of an actor Heath Ledger really was as Rolling Stone gave the following review to his performance “Ledger doesn't just know how Ennis moves, speaks and listens; he knows how he breathes.” Three projects later, Ledger found out director Christopher Nolan had begun work on The Dark Knight and was looking to cast the next Joker. He immediately called his agent and got himself in the same room with Nolan where he was able to convince the mastermind to hand him over the daunting task of creating something that what exceed what Jack Nicholson had done with his own Joker 20 years ago. Ledger’s mind immediately went into overdrive where he locked himself away in a room for six weeks straight. The isolation gave him the necessary headspace to come up with different mannerisms for the Joker with an emphasis on his breath and how the tone of his voice would sound like. On the 18th of July, 2008, The Dark Knight was released and the world was blown away with what Ledger had created. A character never seen before in such shape and form infused with horror, terror and unpredictability every second of the way. This led to another Oscar nomination which he ultimately won and became the very first actor to win it for portraying a character in a comic book movie. Unexplainably, Ledger didn’t live through to see any of it, he didn’t live through to see the legend he had become, he didn’t live through to see the legacy he had given birth to. Ledger left the world in tears creating something that will never be forgotten in the cinematic history. Nolan perhaps wrote the perfect ending monologue to honor Ledger’s memory in the sequel to The Dark Knight spoken by Commissioner Gordon “I see that I hold a sanctuary in their hearts and in the hearts of their descendants…, generations hence. It is a far, far better thing that I do…, than I have ever done. It is a far, far better rest that I go to…, than I have ever known.” My Official Website - http://zeeconstory.com/ Link to my novel 'Strange Nights' - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071YRC3QJ

Welcome to the very first Beginner's Luck Acting Challenge! We're starting small so you (hopefully) feel brave enough to dip your toe in the water. This month the challenge involves: ➖ Shooting a 60 second video with your camera or smartphone ➖ Uploading it to YouTube, Vimeo or Facebook + posting the link in the comments of this video ➖ Using your "brand" character to improvise a 60-second scene in which you're finishing getting ready to go ________ (you decide) and running late. ➖ During that time you're interrupted by ________ (you decide) asking where you are and why you're running late. It might be a phone call, text message or knock at the door (play around with each and see which is most interesting). ➖ How does this affect your ability to finish getting ready? ➖ What do you need to do to get out the door? ➖ How do you feel about getting the "hurry up"? If you haven't yet watched the actor brand series, do that first so you know where I'm going with this!
