This is a question I’m sure many other actors have, especially during COVID. How can someone best practice acting on their own? I’m not really looking for small little exercises to do each day, though those would be helpful too. Mainly, I’m looking for a loose blueprint to follow where you can stick with a daily plan t…

Don't get me wrong-- I think Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver are GREAT actors with a range but they do not fit how I would have pictured their characters. I think Adam is good at dramatic roles, but I think he fits the character such as in Marriage Story wayyy better than the "evil/secretly love interest" in Star Wars. I…

For the first audition they gave us a list of monologues we had to do, so it was easy just to pick the two I liked the most. However, for call backs they require us to pick one for ourselves that connects to our actors stream or something. What type of monologue works best in these auditions? A super deep dramatic one?…
