It never Rains!

Hi my fellow Actors,
Wow what a week its turning out to be! Filming Touch ups with Tula, recording our theme song and a Theatre Audition where I have to sing in a particular style I have not sung before.

Don't we love a challenge? As an Actor it is so gratifying to have something to sink your teeth into.
When I began my career I sure did it the hard way, that's why I wrote The Secret of Your Success as an Actor and am dedicated to helping Actors do it in the best way!

Always here to help,
Love Tula

Transformations Vic Drama Annual Conference!

Darling Actors,

Recently I was invited to do a Presentation at the Drama Victoria Annual Conference at Melbourne Uni for all the Drama Educators in Victoria and I was asked to submit a paper. I wanted to share it with you, so here goes:

T R A N S F O R M A T I O N S

“The Secret of Your Success as an Actor”

PRESENTATION PAPER

By Author Tula Tzoras

My name is Tula Tzoras. I have been a professional Actor for over 20 years. During that time I have also worked as a Writer, Director, Producer. I have many credits in Film, Television, Theatre, Commercials and have done thousands of Castings. I have also made five short films, one of which was a finalist at Tropfest and am currently making a series called Touch ups With Tula. I have been working on a humanitarian project for the last five years to empower people in developing communities by providing them with tools to grow. If you wish to know more about my credits please visit my website www. Actorssecretweapon.com and click on the About Page.

One of the things that strike me is that as students we are not generally taught life lessons. I remember reading a book called “Go Ask Alice” in high school. It was the closest I came to having any life education at school.  I entered the big wide world with rose coloured glasses, in pursuit of my dream to become an Actor. I did it the hard way. I struggled as many Actors do and followed a journey of self-discovery, which spanned over the last 20 years. Last year I was in a good space to write my E-Book and got the big thumbs up from the industry with NIDA, ACTT, MAA putting The Secret of Your Success as an Actor on their Reading lists for Students and Showcast (the industry directory) promoting it. Suddenly I was invited on a Speaking Circuit and I have been speaking to students since.

The response I received both from Institutions and students has confirmed to me that this book is unique, because it is not about acting technique or the logistics of finding agents etc. The Secret of Your Success as an Actor is a Career Biography with a difference. It specifically covers credits in Film, TV, Theatre and projects and teams those experiences up with lessons learnt and infallible tips for success, including A Secret Weapon!

Readers are also provided with my individual Casting Tips for Auditions, tips that free Actors up to enjoy the experience rather than dread it.

So many of our kids dream of becoming Actors. All they have to draw on is glamorous celebrities and they become enamoured by fame. The Secret of Your Success as an Actor gives readers a very real perspective of the life of a Working Actor. It includes very personal themes like anxiety and the impact of conditioning. Readers experience both the reality of how difficult it can be and all the tools they need to transform their mindset and become Successful Brands.

The life of an Actor can be potentially difficult. The Secret of Your Success as an Actor smashes beliefs that Actors have to struggle and gives them tools to fast track their success through my experiences, which mirror other Actors experiences.

In speaking to students and garnering their little knowledge on the subjects I broached, I have become passionate about getting this E-Book out to as many students as possible. So much so, that half of every download made is going back to Drama Victoria. I implore you, as educators to make The Secret of Your Success as an Actor a part of your curriculum. It can easily be downloaded from the Resources page of the Drama Victoria website.

The only request I make is that like music and movie piracy, duplicating downloads is not acceptable.

In my presentation I will cover:

v    My experience and that of a struggling Actor

v    The tips and advice I give to ensure Actors success and wellbeing

v    The difference in Audition tips between some professionals and my own.

I invite you to participate in what promises to be a very personal and genuine presentation on Transformation.

Best,

Tula Tzoras

The Right Agent For You!

 My dear Actors,

Having been in the Industry for over 20 years I have had a few agents and it was over time I achieved a really great relationship and a successful one with my agent.

 

My advice to you is not to rush your decision to join an agency. There is a possibility that you can end up in a worse position than you were in before if you make the wrong decision.

 

It is really important to research the Agency first. Find out how long they have been in business, what the background of the Agent is, how many people work for the agency, how many people they represent. Do they have a website? Do they have working Actors on their books? 

 

In your meeting with the Agent, find out where they get the most work for their Actors, for instance is it theatre, TV, commercials, films? Be clear on what you want to focus on and find out whether what they do suits you. 

 

Another major key factor is the relationship you have with your Agent. There is no point feeling intimidated whenever you speak to them, or feeling you can't speak to them. As Actors we have to be great business people too, relationships we build are vital to our success. 

 

Of course if you are using Your Secret Weapon, you will have positive results and trust that the Agent you choose is doing the best for you and representing you in the light you wish to be represented. 

 

I hope this helps you in your journey! 

Here to Help,

Tula Tzoras

From One of My Readers! OMG

Hi guys! Today I received a Facebook message I really wanted to share with you!

I don’t know about you, but I am forever working and chipping away and quite often when I am filming or performing on stage, or when my e-book is read, I forget the impact all that can have in just doing what I do. Here’s what Lyusyena had to say:

“I just finished reading your book THE SECRET OF YOUR SUCCESS AS AN ACTOR and being so inspired after I was trying to find out some more information about you, just to express how very thankful I am for your book! I want to say that your book is very helpful, useful, inspiring and powerful and thank you so much for sharing your valuable experiences! I’ve always wanted to be an actress and now pushing any doubts and fears away I decided to take an actin on my dream and your book is just a gift for anyone who’s in position like this when you have no idea what first action to take, where to begin, wht to learn and so on. Thank you for being so generous and kind, people like you make this world a better place. We are all one and make a difference! Thank you so much! God Bless you! ”

With wishes of love, joy and happiness to you

Lyusyena

How beautiful is that feedback?

Creating Your Own Acting Work!

My dearest Actors Hello!
Whether you are starting out or returning to Acting or struggling, there is nothing better than creating your own work to avoid that feeling of desperation and lack we have talked about!

A great way to do that is to join AT2, which is one of two online directories for all Actors and the benefit in that is that you can become visible to the Industry and join icast, which will send you loads of castings for work.

The work is usually not paid but the benefit will be in gaining material for your Showreel and meeting up and coming directors and producers. Without a Showreel you will be unable to find a great agent.

We have started shooting Touch ups with Tula, a way to keep busy for me too! You can join us on Facebook!

Always remember your Secret Weapon and you will have absolutely no trouble attracting the ideal work to you!

Love Tula
