I have been acting for about five years and have had great success with auditions, getting work and making money. As with any job there are good days and bad days but overall I love what I do. It has never felt like work because I enjoy it so much.

Why did I decide to start this blog?

I decided to start this blog because there are so many people out there who want to act, who want to get into the entertainment industry but they don’t know how! If they do know how they aren’t sure if they are doing things right or if they are going about it in the right way.

So many people ask me how I got started as an actor, how I got my first role, how long it took me and what my daily routine is like. So, I thought why not put all of this down on paper so that anyone can read it and benefit from it.

Actors get advice from all different sources and in many different ways. It seems like every day we have a new idea or a new path to take. And while everyone says they can help you get there, what they really are saying is that they can help you get there if you do things the way they do.

If you’re an actor, then I’m here to tell you that there is a lot of truth in that statement. The reason I say this is because when an actor has something to say, it’s usually something that will change or affect the way someone else does their job. Actors don’t often tell people how to do things. They tell them how to be better at what they’re already doing.

The best advice I’ve ever gotten from an actor was from one of my teachers at NYU named Albert Brooks (who also taught me how to play guitar). He said, “Know your audience.” By that he meant know the people who are watching your performance and what their expectations are of you as an actor.

And so I’ve spent a lot of time watching actors on stage, listening to them talk, reading their blogs and books and watching their movies and TV shows. And I have learned quite a bit about what makes them tick as

When I was 8 years old, my mom took me to see The Wizard of Oz in the theater. It wasn’t the first time I’d seen the film, but it was my first time seeing it on a big screen, and it was magical.

I instantly became obsessed with the entire film, watching it over and over again on VHS until I had memorized every single line. When I was 10 years old, I made my professional acting debut playing Young Dorothy in a local production of The Wizard of Oz.

I did some more community theatre after that, and by the time I was 16 and auditioned for a professional theater company’s production of A Christmas Carol, I only had three other credits on my resume: one role in an independent film, one role in a commercial, and one role as the host of a web series.

And yet, when I got the call that I’d been cast as Tiny Tim for $200/week (plus housing and meals), it didn’t even occur to me that I wasn’t qualified for the job.
