Tips for Actors

Tips for working with your voice and breathing properly

Stay in Character

Auditions
One of the most common questions actors ask is, "How can I improve my audition?". It’s an almost impossible question to answer, because every time you deliver an audition, the experience is going to be different. But the basics remain the same.

How to choose a Monologue
This is something you have a bit more control over. There's no need to labour to the point of obsession, combing through anthologies to try to find the "one right piece" that suits your talents.
