Dear Actor:

Your Time is Now.

You feel you’re missing the “it” factor.

You see the careers of people your age and younger skyrocketing while you’re stuck in the same place year after year. You doubt whether you’re even cut out for this work. You get frustrated by how hard the process is to even get noticed.

But it’s not your fault.

Much of acting education in the West is set up #backwards. Schools teach you how to be a good student - wait for the script or the character or the deadline from a teacher and then get to work.

You are not here to be an employee of the industry: you are here to be a creator and an agent of change, in service to the craft. You can create your dream #actorslife from your own fantasy, resources and individuality. You can reclaim your artistic power.

Your Wish is Possible.

In fact, your wish is the “magic if” ingredient to transformation.

Magic If -

“What would I do if I were in this circumstance?”

Your presence is proof that you are ready to transform: right here, right now.

The wish is another term for objective. You know, the actor’s goal. The target. How dry and dull.

Poka! Bye! Ciao! lukewarm words and tepid feelings.

Onstage, life is sharp. Pointed. Extreme. And it begins with the language you use. The wish stimulates the soul. HELLO WISH. And you, as an actor, are here to stimulate ALL THE SOULS, including your own.

Leave your objective at the door.

Grab your wish and make the daily commitment to show up for yourself, your work and your contribution to the world. Your transformation begins now. I am here to guide you.

 

“All true artists, bear within themselves a deeply rooted and often unconscious desire for transformation.”

— Mikhail Chekhov
