I enjoyed the work we did today. I feel like we are getting a lot accomplished. In part, hopefully because we are getting better. In part, because there are fewer people. There is much to be gained all around. I look forward to having the session on agents because I know I will gain a lot from it.
Here are a few things I took from our most recent class:
Here are a few things I took from our most recent class:
- Cops appear in everything, especially dramas. If you can play a cop well, you can pay your rent.
- When playing a cop, or any job really, don't be stereotypical. It's routine.
- As a reminder: Don't play the end of the scene.
- No folded arms
- Keep it simple.
- Know what you can do. When you meet an agent, let them know you have a skill. (IE. I can play a cop really well)
- Accessories are you bread an butter. You can transform from high class to blue collar in a split second if you have them.
- Be careful of too much exhalation of breath.
- Nonverbal, unplanned moments get you cast!
- Know the angles of your shot
- YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR. Make a good choice. If they don't need you then, they may need you later.
