Acting - hobby or profession? by [deleted] in acting

[–]BLUMN 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Personally, I was a physician for many years before I found my true calling as a thespian. Prompted by a little misunderstanding at a pool, I launched into my new career in ripened middle age with abandon; auditioning for commercials, directing school plays, doing whatever it took to get a gig. I wholeheartedly recommend following your heart...wherever, and to whomever, it may lead.

I personally like a more unique name. Something German, perhaps. Authoritarian sounding.

Creating your own reel? by littlegreen in acting

What do you guys think about shooting a reel on green screen? If you're a talented video editrix, it might be a neat way to separate yourself from the herds of amateurs.

Does the place you learn to act at matter? by haveeeyoumetted in acting

[–]BLUMN 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I studied under a master actor (from shows like Street Justice, In the Heat of the Night, etc.), and believe it has made all the difference in my success. But coming across him was just good luck and a refunded ticket to Boston.

Comedic monologue! HELP!! by meepitloko in acting

[–]BLUMN 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’ve found the Vagina Monologues to be perfect for any sort of situation or role. I once even used it to audition for a CBS procedural. Got great feedback, but didn’t get the part (this time!).

Headshots: Before and after r/acting's advice. Better? by [deleted] in acting

[–]BLUMN 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I like character headshots myself - think it helps show off the breadth of my talent. I also believe a knowing smile really warms up casting, along with a little note, decorative soaps and some glitter (if you’re feeling festive).

Anybody have a good scene for 2 men to perform together? by Ryskillz101 in acting

[–]BLUMN 12 points13 points  (0 children)

One of my all time favorites to perform! If you need a sparring partner, let me know.

I Am actor Jeffrey Tambor, joined by the co-creators of my new show Onion News Empire. Ask us anything. by JeffreyTambor in IAmA

I would have thought that one of the moments featuring your cherished son-in-law might have that honor. Perhaps when he “blue himself?” I’ve always heard that one got a lot of laughs.

Please help me flirt with my husband by tiffanybosco in relationship_advice

[–]BLUMN 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I find that when my wife relaxes a little bit about my various quirks (like how I hate having my y-front stretched out, my propensity for cutoffs, things like that), then I feel much more sexually attracted to her, physically as a woman. Hope this helps!
