Getting back to pursuing acting has been a crazy experience already but the tip you spoke on that immediately resonated was confidence it’s always the me that shows up that allows any opportunity to be cast. It’s essential.
Thanks for all your tips and videos. It's giving me hope to be a working actor again. Most actors don't make it, is very real. Thanks for that clarity.

I can't tell you how important it is to understand we are story tellers. Once you understand what that means it opens so many doors.
Good common sense reality check information. Thanks so much!

Hey let me tell you something , you really helping actors but the negative suggestion put in middle the of video not in end
If I was going to do acting, I'd want to be in the theatre, not in films. Is that hard to get into?
Hello. I would like to talk to you about acting and reincarnation. Where can we do this?
On the app Minnect
❤ U
🎉❤
🙏🙏🙏🤙🏽🤙🏽🌴
Is it possible for someone to not play any kiss scene or bed scene ?
would you consider yourself as someone who made it in the acting world?
Are you familiar with how someone can get into C rated movies very easily? You should be. So I hope I get an answer
This is an aggressive way to ask a question haha, but yes I am. Reach out on Minnect for your answer 👍🏼
acting is only pretending your someone else in a made up circumstance and place, not much value in that
