About Me

Ever wondered what it means to be an actor? How you become an actor -what the demands are, and what the rewards – what you need to know and what you need to survive?

I am an actor of 20 years’ standing. I have held the “day job” and tried to balance my artistic addiction. I have gone from community theatre to professional acting. I have studied with “bad” acting teachers and titans of the craft.

For a short time I even opened an acting school to share my understanding of what “good acting” is.

For me, ”good acting” means being willing to be emotionally open and openly yourself – as a character – in front of lots of strangers. Good acting requires acting ability, but it also calls for all of the non-acting requirements as well: knowing how to behave on set, or backstage, or onstage; when and how to behave in the varying stage or movie situations; and of course the physical demands and tricks that need to become second nature so that you can focus on the work at hand: acting!

It’s one helluva lot of fun – from the behind the scenes to what we see when it’s all completed and ready for show!

I have been doing this work for a long time, and I’m on my way to that full-time career. You’re welcome to come along for the journey!

So let’s boogie… (And if you have acting questions, please let me know; I’d love to answer them in future blogs!)

Love & laughter to you,

Lori
