| Question: Help with Script for Play We're Writing? (URGENT)? Posted: 25 Mar 2015 11:00 PM PDT The objective for me and two other students is to being closure to the play. The play is basically about the founding of the U.S., with the Jamestown settlement, Plymouth, Revolutionary War in the North, Revolutionary War in the South, Civil War in the South/Jamestown, and Civil War in the North. The plot is sort of based off the "Night At The Museum," like how the wax figures come to life. The two characters meet in a summer program at the museum, both of them wearing half a coin which happens to be magical. They put it together, then all the figures come to life. They don't neccessarily talk to the wax figures, but they illustrate how life was during that time. In the end, the two characters realize that although the lives of their ancestors may reflect differing and conflicting views, the U.S. has become and must continue to endeavor to be one. Other people are assigned to do those other scenes, but my partners and I have to bring closure to the play (as I previously said), but we have to have some HUMOR and also have them recognize that it is important to become "one" as a nation even though America had people with differences. Any ideas? |

| Question: Can I use my own headshots for online casting networks? Posted: 25 Mar 2015 08:57 PM PDT I think if you want to the impression that you're an amateur just starting out and have little-to-no experience and want to see what acting is like, then go with your own picture. If you want to give the impression that you're more professional and invested in an acting career get professional head shots. A head shot is not just a picture of you - it's part of the package that you will use to market yourself to casting directors and agents. It's a business and companies are not looking for nice people to give breaks to - they want qualified actors who they can trust to do a good job. What message are you sending with these pictures? If you're not going to put your best foot forward for your own head shot, why would preople think you would out your best foot forward in a job? For on-line casting calls most will be for low-to-no pay and if that's all your aiming for then maybe your own picture will be fine - but you will be competing against actors with professional head shots. |
| Question: Accent Change in Actors? Posted: 25 Mar 2015 07:27 PM PDT Not one specific technique - learning accents is a skill that involves several different techniques. There are even acting coaches that specialize in teaching accents. There are different American accents depending on the region (just like there are different accents throughout the UK). Part of it is having a good ear and being able to distinguish the different regional accents. Part of it is mechanical - knowing how to place your tongue, how wide to open your mouth or throat and things like that. Part is the speed at which you speak - different regions talk faster/slower than others. And then it's using the correct terms for the region. For example, in the US a soft drink is either "pop" "soda" or "coke" depending where you're from. |
