Life continues to be a journey of discovery;

  An adventure that draws me to many destinations around the world. If I were to be an authority of anything, it would be the taking of consistent action to get things done, being true to yourself and loyal with others. Things that truly drive you toward your goals and passion. 

 There will always be times of the mundane, doing that job you dislike, being somewhere you would rather not be, and its these times where you must dare to dream of what’s to come and keep going.

   We all have a job to do and love ones to protect and care for, but our lives are special and unique as well.

   Our purpose is to the service of others no matter your position and the service of ourselves to be a better you. Energy is the key factor here, getting going and making things happen, not waiting for life to pass us by. Go ahead and take that first step, it is not so bad once you get started.

Acting is a continuous study of reading books, plays and observing human behaviour also of interacting with other professionals and participating in acting classes as often as possible.

John's Snap-Shot Continued

Hi Guys, welcome back to John’s Snapshot.
 
All Actors find a path to their career in a variety of different ways and all actors have an interesting story to share once being established within the industry.
 
There are no set rules, however as actors we all need to start our individual journey and acting training is an essential part of that journey. 
 
My advice to young up and coming actors is to find your local theatre group and become involved in any theatre productions they are working on. It doesn’t matter in what capacity you are involved as long as you are engaging and participating in the creative process of the play.
 
Being cast as a background actor(Learn More) on stage allows for you to observe the process by those actors more experienced and to also have an understanding of stage etiquette and how the actors interact with each other during a performance. Listen and learn by observation.
 
Even working backstage allows you the freedom to observe the technique actors use to create the characters they are playing. The theatre is the foundation of the entire process for the skill and the craft of acting. Working with Student Actors: Geometry Can Help Them be More Effective On  Stage – Broadway Educators
 
Get your hands on plays and or film scripts and read them regularly. Also find your local Acting studio where classes are conducted as this is a must. The craft of acting is a skill, so you must invest in these classes as best you can to engage with other aspiring artists to understand the process. 
 
Yes classes cost money so you must have a job or 2 to fund these classes as this is your investment into you becoming a skilled actor. Believe me you will be glad you did as you are setting the foundations for your career. 
 
You can also investigate applying to various established formal acting schools that offer 2 to 3 year performing arts training. You will need to audition and present a classical monologue and usually 2 contemporary monologues in front of a panel of performing arts professionals. 
 
This process can be demanding however you must prepare in advance and be highly focused on performing at your best. This is where your choice of monologues are important and my best advice is to select monologues that appeal to yourself and within your age range, that can stretch you allowing the audition panel to see your potential. 
 
I hope this snapshot helps with your acting goals momentum. As always, never give up! There will be more information to come so thank you for viewing this snapshot. Don’t forget to like, share and subscribe and visit PATREON to help ensure more content like this.  

Warm Regards, John
