Offspring and Creating Work

Hi All,
I hope you are having a great day and are taking one step towards your dream to be an Actor every day, keeping a clear vision of your goal!
I just got back from an Audition for Offspring the new series, using all the tips I share with you in my E-Book, THE SECRET OF YOUR SUCCESS AS AN ACTOR, you can grab an instant download of at www.actorssecretweapon.com.
On other news, I tried Champix, a medication to stop smoking and had the worst side effects! Sleeplessness, nausea and depression, not like me at all. Have you had that kind of reaction to Champix? I had to stop it straight away!
We are pitching the half hour show for Touch ups with Tula (on You Tube) at the moment so fingers crossed!
On creating your own work, waiting around for the phone to ring is not an option! Get out there and make your art! Here's what a film maker had to say:
Making Independent Film: Bill Mousoulis

Why do you make independent films?

"I make films, full stop. It doesn't matter whether they're funded or not. I've had some work funded, some not. The ideal, of course, is to be able to secure financing whilst maintaining creative independence (as someone like Rolf de Heer seems to have established). For me, the most important thing is the idea that each film has. This has to be adhered to. If I can obtain funding for a particular idea, then I welcome it – apart from having money to make the film, it can assist or even guarantee a certain degree of profile and distribution for the work. But there are too many filmmakers going for too few funding spots. Therefore, my strategy is that if I can't get funding, I go ahead and make the film anyway, even though it may not get screened much as a result. I'd rather do that than keep waiting for the phone call that never comes, the nod of approval that never materialises. And let's not forget that art, ultimately, is its own reward…"

Suspense!


What do you do when the suspense is killing you? Waiting to hear from an audition, waiting waiting, we do so much of that! Presently I am waiting to hear about the concepts I pitched, my sweat, blood and tears for years, all my dreams in one.
Sometimes its so hard to stay inspired and positive and trust that all is as it should be and things happen in perfect timing and I guess that’s our challenge!
Wishing you a great weekend, fellow actors and aspiring actors!

Insider Secrets

My dear Actors,
Happy Monday! I hope you are as excited about a new week and new possibilities as I am !
Yesterday we represented Touch ups with Tula in our special pink T'shirts at the Gay Pride Parade and festival to raise awareness that you can watch us on You Tube! It was loads of fun!
As Actors, we need to have both sides of our brain active, its as much about promoting your brand as honing your skills as an actor! 
I thought you may get something out of these quotes from other industry insiders:

INSIDER SECRETS
Getting To Know The Industry

It's always best to meet people in person, rather than phone them or send them an email. People are far more likely to remember you and want to work with you if they meet you in the flesh. Naomi West

People are very busy working or trying to get work for themselves, so don't expect to be able to meet with people repeatedly or jump on the phone to them at any time. Email is the best way of keeping in touch because people can respond when it suits them. Naomi West

Have balls of steel and don't be afraid to front up to people. But be prepared… make sure you have something to say. Michael Robinson

Go wherever actors congregate! Martin Fabinyi

The Dog's Bar in St Kilda always has a steady flow of actors keen to tell a few stories… buy them a beer. Michael Robinson
