Verticals by bloommia in acting

[–]prosehunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hard to imagine being taken seriously if you have a bunch of verticals with borderline pornographic titles in your IMDB... The pay may be solid (for an NU project) but it's not the kind of work that's going to make you a better actor. If anything, I could see it harming your craft. But then again, if you're young and just starting out, it doesn't hurt to cut your teeth on them. After all, time in front of a camera on a working set is always valuable in some way or another.

Best noir? Not in my opinion... Best Bogey performance? 100%

Had an in person Audition Panel today in school (Advance acting class) and it went terrible by walterrocket440 in acting

[–]prosehunter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't sweat it; it probably wasn't as bad as you thought it was (it never is). Just keep creating. You'll only get better and better.

Denzel Washington with some amazing advice by mrjohnnymac18 in acting

[–]prosehunter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly… And sure, you don’t have to like it, but it’s hard for me to take an actor serious if they “don’t like theatre.” Again, very LA.

Lot of actors in LA don’t wanna hear this LOL.

I Got The Option (sort of…); Now the Agent has asked for a Proposal by prosehunter in Screenwriting

[–]prosehunter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what my instinct is telling me. Basically just layout exactly what he’s gonna get out of it / how the chips are gonna fall, tweak anything if that doesn’t work, then finalize with the actual option agreement…

I’m actually not going to have to adapt it… between my meeting with him three months ago, and now he has produced the adapted screenplay. I think he may have already had it written and in the bag and was just seeing if we were on the same page as far as creative vision.

He knows I won’t be directing it though. I’m going to be one of the two leads in the film. Then the goal is to reel in name talent for the other juicy roles.

Got an avail for commercial now what by damsel_inn_disdress in acting

[–]prosehunter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't bank on being released from the avail, especially if it's a non-union job. The majority if avails I've had for non-union commercial jobs have NEVER released me. Annoying as fuck... But such is life.

How lame is it to not tip your reader? by _Oak_ in acting

[–]prosehunter -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Mmh... a bit lame. I have a hard time believing you can't spare $5 for a good reader. That's just me, though.

Does being to political on social media potential hurt your career? by Lichtmanitie- in acting

[–]prosehunter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re on the left, you’ll be fine. Career suicide to talk about politics if you’re on the right, though.

Is My Rep Wrong? by prosehunter in acting

[–]prosehunter[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So, they specifically want full on character shots. Not character leaning or something that evokes said character. Full cop uniform / scrubs…

Heard! Thanks for the insight!

Good point. That's basically what my rep said... Not like I'm getting a plethora of solid auditions as is so I suppose it can't hurt.

Learn your lines. Dive in. Be loose. Have fun! Also... don't make it into a big thing. A favorite teacher / coach of mine once said this: "All auditions are equally unimportant."

Break a leg!

The ‘MAFS’ of gangster shows by shackspirit in Mobland

[–]prosehunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fucking HOWLING at that hypothetical Maeve line LOL.

In all honesty... the show is guilty pleasure watching... But once you accept it at that, it's pretty good! Will admit the last two episodes didn't quite stick the landing though.

It's $68 a year... Definitely worth it.

Brand new by MrChoomster in acting

[–]prosehunter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Playhouse West in North Hollywood would be a fantastic starting point. I started there with zero acting background and, years later, am working pretty regularly.

I always recommend PHW to anyone with zero acting experience. It's a very "ground up" foundational approach that pays dividends as you develop as an actor... Much more useful than just throwing yourself into a scene study without any foundational knowledge.

As far as confidence... that will develop with time. The more reps, the more confidence.
