I would say, that now more than ever we are looking for an instant hit from self-tapes. If anyone wants advice I'd be happy to answer. Top 3 tips today are to listen, serve the narrative selflessly, and don't showcase your thoughts as a character. If you just feel them, SO DO WE.

How is everyone? I'm finding it difficult to take care of myself, my company and my family (single mum: 1 teen, 2 dogs) whilst everything, in theory, is starting again. But I realised today I'm not alone. Main, main, main concern tonight tho' is the adapt or retrain crap.

Actors are a different breed of brilliant. @JoshBolt asked some of his cast mates to help out with morale somewhere it's really needed and I cannot believe what came back. I am beyond privileged to share oxygen with actors who remember they can lift the world, not just the room.

And the standard of auditions is so very high, that generally if you don't get it, it is just a generic "different way to go" or something specific in your demeanour that works with the chess board aspect of the ensemble.

Instead of nurturing performers, “journo” articles like the disparaging Buzzfeed Armie Hammer one just treats artists like desensitised robots. These ARE human beings who expose their emotions so we can have catharsis. And Armie Hammer is one of the good ones.
