How to self-produce if you never written a script.](https://actorscomedystudio.com/how-to-self-produce-cant-write-scripts/) - There are many actors out there who believe they cannot self-produce because they have never written scripts. I’m going to subvert the very nature of this obstacle. EVERYONE can write scripts. You might not be experienced at writing. It might not be a skill that you have polished or honed. But if you’re looking for - [16. Networking in Hollywood.](https://actorscomedystudio.com/networking-in-hollywood/) - First off, a lot of actors don’t like networking in Hollywood. Many actors don’t have a great relationship with that word. So let me make it more palatable: What actors fail to realize is that socializing, going to class, or experiencing all LA has to offer, counts as networking. Creating projects on your own, learning - [18. Archetypes: How are they used in Comedy?](https://actorscomedystudio.com/archetypes-comedy-acting/) - Archetypes are a large part of storytelling. They are the part of the foundation of writing. Furthermore, casting uses them to define what shows are looking for. Yes, we are all special snowflakes, but our essence can be categorized or defined by a short list of characteristics. That’s what archetypes are for. For example, we - [24. So you're not going out on auditions, but you have reps?](https://actorscomedystudio.com/not-going-out-on-auditions-have-reps/) - So you're not going out on auditions, but you have reps?

There could be a lot of reasons why. It could be the - [25.

We do intense and focused work specific to your career. Together, we create an actionable plan and outline for you moving forward. Actors generally need many of the same things, but individual needs can vary depending on where - [11. Are you too old to have a career in acting?](https://actorscomedystudio.com/too-old-to-have-a-career-in-acting/) - So if you’re not a hot twenty year something are you too old to have a career in acting? Are you too old to get started? The answer is no! Oh my gosh! No, no, no! Show business has a place for everybody. Incidentally, I don’t think that “hot twenty year olds” have the easiest - [2. What should you do first when you move to Los Angeles?](https://actorscomedystudio.com/first-thing-you-move-los-angeles/) - What's the first thing you should do when you move to Los Angeles? Oh my goodness! Find a place to live! LOL! Los Angeles is a big, spread out collection of multiple neighborhoods and cities. It’s really important for you to get grounded and learn the landscape. There is a lot of traffic here; that’s - [10. Single-Cam vs Multi-Cam?](https://actorscomedystudio.com/single-cam-vs-multi-cam/) - Here are a couple of examples of single-cam vs multi-cam: Big Bang Theory is an example of a multi-cam show. It is shot live in front of a studio audience on a sound stage. You can hear the audience’s laughter during the show. Multi-Cams hearken back to Vaudeville. There is a set up, punchline, & joke. - [9. What should go on demo reels?](https://actorscomedystudio.com/what-should-go-on-demo-reels/) - What should go on demo reels is simple: Demos Reels present your ability to act. They help you sign with an agent or manager. They are also part of the toolkit your reps use when presenting you to casting and producers. Remember, this is not a piece of entertainment. You should be the primary focus - [7. What is actor branding?](https://actorscomedystudio.com/what-is-actor-branding/) - What is actor branding? It's one of the hardest questions for actors to answer. Many actors don’t come into the city with a strong business sense. There is no right or wrong answer as to how you should approach branding, but I think this is worth examining and asking yourself: Who am I in the - [5. How do I get an agent or manager?](https://actorscomedystudio.com/how-to-get-an-agent-manager/) - There’s no magic bullet that answers how to get an agent or manager. I wish there was. The easiest way is through a referral. Ask a friend who has reps you would like to work with. See if they can make an introduction or walk your picture in. There are also open agent/manager workshops you - [4. Headshots... What's the difference?](https://actorscomedystudio.com/headshots-difference/) - What is the difference between headshots that works for me or against me? I could talk about this forever. Actors aren't really taught how to take amazing headshots. That unfortunate lack of knowledge often causes frustration and a lot of wasted money. That's why I offer Smart Headshots; individual coaching sessions designed to train actors on - [3. What's the biggest mistake actors make?](https://actorscomedystudio.com/biggest-mistake-actors-make/) - The biggest mistake actors make is not setting themselves up in regard to business. Especially if you come to Hollywood to be a career actor or writer. Most actors typically want auditions, representation and bookings. In order to do that, you need to get organized first. It's easy to do with gmail, google docs and - [23. What is your Sitcom Essentials Class about?](https://actorscomedystudio.com/sitcom-essentials-class/) - Sitcom Essentials Class is awesome! It is a ten week course, which is different than our on-going weekly workout classes. Within Sitcom Essentials there are five teachers who deliver diverse points of view. I have a working actor that comes in and talks to the actors. I have a well known agent come in and - [6. Is improv necessary for you?](https://actorscomedystudio.com/is-improv-necessary-for-you/) - Improv is not necessary to act well or become a Sitcom actor. A lot of the messaging in Hollywood is that it is necessary. Agents, Managers and Casting Directors will tell you to have it on your resume. I advise people to find a balance. Commercial auditions ask actors to improvise frequently. Theatrical auditions, not - [1. Are you proud to be an actor?](https://actorscomedystudio.com/are-you-proud-to-be-an-actor/) - Are you proud to be an actor? I know the trutch can sometimes be challenging, especially if you’re new to LA and you’re trying to get representation, join the union and break into the industry. It can be difficult to get the auditions you need to get the bookings you dreamed of. For some there’s - [13. What about Cold Reading?](https://actorscomedystudio.com/cold-reading/) - Cold reading, especially in Los Angeles, means using your sides as you audition. Actors who are auditioning for lead roles are using their sides all the way through the audition process. If your goal is to become a working actor it’s imperative that you learn to work with the script in hand. When you audition, - [27. What is Pilot Season?](https://actorscomedystudio.com/what-is-pilot-season/) - So what is Pilot Season? Pilot season is a season where the bulk of the casting for broadcast networks happens. That’s largely the distinction. It starts in January and goes through April. Generally speaking, that’s the season. The traditional broadcast networks: NBC, ABC, CBS, and FOX, sell their shows to advertising which goes to Upfronts, - [8. How do I avoid going too BIG in comedy?](https://actorscomedystudio.com/how-avoid-too-big-comedy/) - Being too big in comedy is a question which comes up in class quite often. There are two parts to this answer: Good acting is good acting. Performing scripted comedy requires the best acting possible because it goes faster than drama. It leaves you more naked. It is risky and it never asks actors to - [26. How do I handle rejection?](https://actorscomedystudio.com/rejection/) - With aplomb. Here’s the interesting thing about the word "rejection" in this town. Largely, no one actually says no to you in this town. Actors have a tendency to feel rejected but nobody actually rejects you. At least not directly. In other words, if you go into an audition and you’re not the person who - [22. Casting Director Workshops](https://actorscomedystudio.com/casting-director-workshops/) - Casting Director Workshops are a great way to meet Casting Directors. Honestly, it’s difficult to move your career forward, get credits, build your resume and your IMDBpro profile without people knowing who you are. Workshops are a way for actors to get their foot in the door. They help develop vital relationships with casting. It’s - [21. What's the deal with your Master Class?](https://actorscomedystudio.com/what-is-master-class/) - I teach Master Class exclusively here at Actors Comedy Studio. It is for actors working at a professional level. A lot of people in that class book work, and though they work several times a year, they’re not always performing on a set. Master Class gives actors a place to workout and grow. There are - [20. What are Casting Directors looking for?](https://actorscomedystudio.com/casting-directors/) - Most importantly, casting directors are looking for professional level actors. To say that they are looking for someone talented or trained, is a given for everyone. Casting directors want actors who can walk into an audition confidently. They are looking for someone whose performance is in collaboration with the intentions of the writers. They are - [19. Acting: Camera vs Stage](https://actorscomedystudio.com/camera-vs-stage/) - Camera vs Stage: It is important to note that good acting training is good acting training. A strong foundation applies to either medium; stage or screen. In both cases, actors are blocked and marked, with choreographed crosses and movements. That is where the similarities begin and end. Acting on stage requires larger gestures, emoting and - [17. When should I join SAG?](https://actorscomedystudio.com/join-sag/) - No one is going to tell you exactly the right time or moment to make the move and pay the fee to join SAG. It really is up to you. I advise people to design an internship/apprenticeship phase for their career when they move to LA. A lot of commercials are non-union these days so - [15. Where do I go to meet people in Los Angeles?](https://actorscomedystudio.com/meet-people-in-los-angeles/) - Outside of your house! I guess that question implies that you’re new to LA. Actually, even if you aren’t, it can be hard to meet people in Los Angeles. It’s spread out for miles and is a huge collection of neighborhoods. It’s a very much a car town. I think that's why our comedy scene - [12. How are you different from other acting coaches?](https://actorscomedystudio.com/different-other-acting-coaches/) - There are many ways in which I am different from other acting coaches. First, when I give feedback to actors in my classroom it’s going through all of the filters you get when you’re auditioning for roles in show business. I advocate for the writer in terms of the correct archetype or character.
