Acting in Community Theatre

Picture
By Loren Johnson

Community theatre is a great platform to start on, much like student films. It gives you the opportunity to learn what goes on in a production. The people who are involved in community theatre are those that love the theatre. Some may have studied acting, maybe a few were once professional actors but mainly they are people who enjoy being in theatre. You can learn something from everyone. It could be that you . . .

The Magic Word For All Actors

Am I Too Old To Start Acting?
By Loren Johnson

In this session we're going to explore the magic word that every actor needs to know. It doesn't matter if you're a beginner, if you’re an intermediate or if you’re an advanced actor, it really doesn't matter. You need to use this magic word, whatever level, whatever script and whatever character you're working on.  I have a lot of actors that come to me at our workshops and they ask me "Loren, how am I able to develop a more complex character?" "How am I able to take my characters off the page?" "How am I able to take these characters and make them real people?" The answer is quite simple, the answer is - use the magic word, and the magic word is . . .

Acting In Just One Word

Am I Too Old To Start Acting?
By Loren Johnson

You know I ask this question a lot at all of our courses, especially our beginner courses, and I get a whole lot of things thrown back to me, I get that acting is "telling a story", that is absolutely correct but how do we refine that even further?  Then people might say that acting is "portraying a character", and yeah that’s correct as well but we need to go further back, some people might say that acting is "being honest" that’s absolutely correct and it’s actually a brilliant answer. It is, but that’s not what I'm after either, you know we have to go right back to its core, and acting at its very core is just one thing . . .

Am I Too Old To Start Acting?

Am I Too Old To Start Acting?
By Loren Johnson

Recently I had a student by the name of Leanne come to me at one of our weekend beginner workshops and she asked me a very serious question. She asked, am I too old to start acting? But the thing is Leanne is only fifteen, and I had to take a step back, and say, What...? No you're not too old to start acting.  She then asked, when are you too old? So here we are, I thought this would make a great blog and you can all thank Leanne for it. 

I was actually quite taken aback by Leanne's question because we have quite a large number of students in . . .

Don't Turn Your Nose Up To TVC's

By Loren Johnson

Don't be a snobby actor that turns up their nose at the idea of acting in a TV Commercial (TVC) because you think they're not arty or prestigious enough, that you'd be somehow lowering your standards, because you'd be misjudging a great opportunity to get into or advance your acting career, as well as many other reasons which I am about . . .

Making The Most of Student Films

Picture
By Loren Johnson

As they say about any craft, practice makes perfect. At some stage during your acting training you'll need to take the plunge and get real experience working as an actor and the best way to do this is on student films.  Now some of you might be asking, what is a student film? Its pretty much what the name implies. It’s a short film usually three to ten minutes in length that . . .

Acting Is Observation

Picture of woman's eye
By Loren Johnson

Although the words we speak are important, it’s our non-verbal communication that is the most important, and as an actor it is vital to remember this. You may speak the lines beautifully but if you can’t commit physically to a character then your performance simply won’t be believable. This is where the art of observation comes in. As an aspiring actor you've probably found that you . . .
