Default Re: I'm frustrated- what should I do?

Well, ok here. We need to figure things out. Are you constantly auditioning for comedies? Do you ever audition for dramatic plays? If you keep auditioning for comedies, the CD's will eat you up when it comes to playing the "whacky goofball" guy simply because of your height. And if your chubby or stocky, even better. Its the Jason Alexander syndrome. I would suggest you brush up on your dramatic monologue technique and start showing off your dramatic chops when auditioning. But like I said, if you're auditioning for comedic plays, you're gonna get a comedic role. Try branching out on your technique. I hate to be the one to tell ya this, but if you're only being cast as a comedic actor, its probably because you portray the "type" in your acting ability. Have you ever tried playing any of your characters with a sense of sadness? Maybe if you dig deeper into your technique, and find the drama within the comedy, CD's will take notice in your range. Just a thought.
