Dearest Aspiring and Working Actors,
I have been listening to Dr Deepak Chopra's lectures and reading his material. If you have read my E-Book, THE SECRET OF YOUR SUCCESS AS AN ACTOR, check out Dr Chopra's lectures to fast track the use of Your Secret Weapon. I find listening to his lectures daily very inspiring and the best thing is, you don't have to make any effort, just having the awareness is enough!
Meanwhile, here is an interview from Industry professional George Kapiniaris I totally agree with, for you. I find working as Actor, Writer, Producer very rewarding. There is nothing like creating your work and your Reality!
Always here to help,
Tula
FEATURE INTERVIEW
Making Your Own Work: George Kapiniaris
How has working as a writer, producer and director shaped the way you view acting, and how has being an actor influenced the way you view/do your jobs as writer, director and producer?
"Really it's the same gig. All these headings fall into the same ballpark. Sometimes as an actor you have to direct yourself while you're learning the lines the day before a shoot, be a writer when you're reading over the script before the show begins, and also be a kind of producer when you're deciding that your character will definitely not wear blue in the restaurant scene. When you're working for another company's production you leave these jobs to the experts, but I think knowing what's going on helps."
Writers, producers, directors and performers don't always see eye to eye on creative and practical levels and while that's not always a good thing, it can keep ideas, budgets, etc. in check. When you're wearing several or all of these hats, who (if anyone) keeps you in check and how?
"You definitely have to keep yourself in check. Follow your own instincts. It helps, though, to be in some kind of producer partnership with someone you trust, someone you know really well. It's the type of working relationship I have with Simon Palomares. We've been working together for over twenty years and we're still going strong. Not a lot has to be said for us to put something in motion and that's because we know each other so well…"
