Only Small Actors

suffering for my art

Shaking my head at an actor giving advice on acting when she forgot to pitch to her last audition coz she was filming an Insta video on how to audition... #lifeofanactor #justshowup #auditiontechnique #bepresent #acting

Pro tip. Check that the cupboard in your trailer actually closes and OPENS again before putting your bag inside and then having to have someone from the crew dismantle it before you can leave set. #setlife #actingtips

Two rejection emails in one day. I'm not downing a bottle of gin, you're downing a bottle of gin. #actorslife #rejectionbuildsalcoholtolerance #needcheaperbooze #orajob

When your only takeaway from a #show was "I liked her pants" and your husband's reaction is "me too, but for different reasons, I think". Then he offers to buy you a pair. Has the show failed or succeeded? #badtheatreorgoodtheatre #showshopping #butisitart #stylevsubstance

#Audition brief with two #characters. Son 28-38 and Mom 35 to 45. I was never great at Math but I guarantee there are potentially some major biological issues with this #casting. #actorslife #momroles #mathproblems

You know when you go into an #audition room & there's that one person on the panel who never looks up or smiles. I realised this week that person was me & it was coz over several days only one #actor greeted me. Say hello! Also I was hungry. So bring muffins.

Some #casting #directors must think our closets opens into Narnia. Oh damn, I just loaned out my suit of armour and my Elizabethan ruff is at the dry cleaner. Guess you and the client will have to use your imaginations. #wardrobe #actorslife #actorsbudget

"Prepare a ballad and an up-tempo musical theatre song" Despite having a decent repertoire going back several decades, I'm like a girl standing in front of her closet crying "I have nothing to wear!!!". #Ihavenothingtosing #actorslife #whydidIpickthiscareer #auditions

I manage to feed myself every day but when they give me food to "enjoy" on #camera it's like I've never done it before. How does eating go? Why is my tongue in here? Chewing lasts too long! #commercialcastings #tvc #food #actorslife #Istudiedforthis #bitechewswallow

Got a #casting for TV today. I'm beyond totally wrong for it. But still going because I have "#actor hope". This is when you convince yourself that your #talent will transcend the #director's ability to see or think. #Icanplayanyrole #actorslife

Monday: also known as "laundry and pyjama day" for actors touring somewhere shitty, or "sight-seeing day" if you're somewhere where you feel compelled to experience culture. #lifeofanactor #actorslife #actorsweekend #touringlife

#SlowSeason again. Season has been "slow" for so many decades I'm starting to wonder if anyone has even a vague memory of when it was maybe going for a casual jog or feeling a little frisky. #lifeofanactor #unemployedactor #actorslife

Just spent 3 hours screaming and crying in a coffin-sized, padded and sound-proof cell. No, I'm not crazy, I'm just an actor #theglamorouslife #describeyourjob #lifeofanactor #voiceartist #voiceactor #vo #dubbing #instudio #acting

Reading #reviews for a #play I thought I might go see. Apparently it's a miscast, brilliantly performed, badly directed, innovative, thought-provoking, must-see that I should definitely avoid. So I'll either love or hate it based on these 4 reviews. #audience #lifeofanactor

When I'm not in a #show I like to dedicate my weekends to an intensive 48 hour period of #drama studies. Really #honingmycraft by intensively watching recent #actingtrends. ie. Binge watching #Netflix. #lifeofanactor #funemployed #masterclass

Most important thing to have on set if you're playing a small role... two fully charged power banks AND the cable to connect them to your phone #setlife #actingfortv #TopTip #lifeofanactor #actorslife
