One of the most important things for you to learn, as an actor/actress, is what your type is. Think of it more this way. You are a business brand and people expect certain things from that brand. Just like Coca-Cola (randomly selected since it’s what I’m drinking at the moment). People […]

This is my first time teaming up with Indianapolis-based Mary E. Nicholson School (IPS #70) and their Nicholson Performing Arts Academy for their amazing Winter Wonderland program and I can’t wait until next year’s program comes around.

Wow, you finally got that new online dating profile up but, after several weeks, you still have no real leads? First thing you probably do is rewrite the text content over… and over… and over again. Finally, you give up and think that maybe online dating is a fluke. Before […]
I love doing repeat live music video work from my music clients because it gives me a chance to start to learn the musical routines and mannerisms of each artist and allows me to create a better video each time I shoot with them. This is my fourth live music […]
