Throwback to the day I flew all the way to London for my perfect foundation match. 🇬🇧 I sat down with @em.christiannemua at @cosmeticsalacarte for their bespoke foundation blending, and four blends later she got my undertone. My undertone is complicated!

On set, I’m not watching the room. I’m watching the monitor, because the camera is the audience. 🎬 I’m a #BlackActingTeacher and director in LA. I direct demo reels at @hollywoodcastingstudio. Next demo reel day is Saturday, October 24th. #BlackDirector #Director #ActingTips

The first take is what you prepared. The third is usually the one, because by then you’ve stopped performing it. 🎬 I’m a #BlackActingTeacher and director in LA. I direct demo reels at @hollywoodcastingstudio. Next demo reel day is Saturday, October 24th #DemoReel #ActingDirector

Before you say a single line, your wardrobe, your makeup and your set already tell casting who you are. 🎬 I’m a #BlackActingTeacher and director in LA. I direct demo reels at @hollywoodcastingstudio. Next demo reel day is Saturday, October 24th. #DemoReelDirector #HowToBeAnActor

I don’t tell you how to play it. I ask what it makes you feel, and your answer is the scene. 🎬 I’m a #BlackActingTeacher and director in LA. I direct demo reels at @hollywoodcastingstudio. Next demo reel day is Saturday, October 24th. #BlackDirector #DemoReel #HowToBeAnActor

Casting watches your reel for one thing: can they picture you on their show? 🎬 I’m a #BlackActingTeacher and director in LA. I direct demo reels at @hollywoodcastingstudio. Next demo reel day is Saturday, October 24th. #DemoReel #CastingDirector #Casting #Acting

Your character doesn’t know what’s coming, so don’t play the moment before it lands. I’m a #BlackActingTeacher and director in LA. I direct demo reels at @hollywoodcastingstudio Next demo reel day is Saturday, October 24th. #Director #ActingSkills #Rehearsal #HowToBeAnActor

Don’t just sharpen the knife. Send the lines through the action, so every move has a purpose. 🎬 I’m a #BlackActingTeacher and director in LA. I direct demo reels at @hollywoodcastingstudio Next demo reel day is Saturday, October 24th. #ActingDirector #DemoReelDirector #Acting

At the premiere of Forever, This Ring last week with @missmarycruz and our @hollywoodcastingstudio students.

Every actor's instinct is to look away in the vulnerable moment. Here's a sneak peek of our Tuesday 6pm class at @hollywoodcastingstudio, where one note changed that. #ActingTechnique Stay in it, stay vulnerable. Come audit a class for free.

That pause or "..." in the script isn't for the other character. It's for the audience. Let the moment breathe.
