Hey everyone, I’m Auzzey — a first-time screenwriter and new to acting, but it’s something I’ve wanted to do since I was a kid.
I’ve recently written a short film based on a deeply personal experience — a symbolic story about emotional distance between a son and his mother, and the unexpected love that helped him begin to heal.
I plan to act in the project myself, and I’m here to connect with other actors and creatives who value emotional truth over perfection.
I don’t have training — just real life, real emotion, and a willingness to put myself into roles that matter.
Would love advice, guidance, or connection with anyone who’s walked this path before.
Good morning everyone!
Who are some actors who have inspired you? Is there a particular actor who continues to blow you away with their performances? Who you would love to work with and would fanboy/girl out on? For me, it's Nicole Kidman. I have admired her career and the different kinds of roles she plays. I like to think, "I can do that." When I was a child, I would say I was really inspired by Anthony Hopkins and Val Kilmer. To this day, LEGENDS OF THE FALL and TOMBSTONE are in my TOP 10.
Ever wonder what happens when two longtime friends and seasoned performers sit down for a candid conversation about their craft?
Hello all, I thought I'd share this excellent workshop I discovered many years ago from the legendary Michael Caine! In it, he covers many aspects of screen acting including the difference between theatre and movie performances, blocking, position relative to camera, eyelines, and much more. Highly recommend viewing and hope you find it useful!

So I'm from a pretty small town where there's really no filmmaking opportunities other than the ones me and my team create, I just thought I'd shoot up a question about how I can work and grow as an actor while not receiving jobs, so that when I am going for work I can still make a very compelling case. Cheers
Hi guys sorry I missed the meeting. I was stuck dealing with Verizon.

Posting about something very British here. Gurinder Chadha writer/director is working on the sequel script to Bend It Like Beckham which was a smash hit back in 2002. See article here https://deadline.com/2025/07/bend-it-like-beckham-sequel-gurinder-chadha-1236469339/
How To Avoid A Crew Member Yelling At You On A TV Set
Accent holding you back on tape? I help actors reduce regional and international accents to sound camera-ready and booking-strong. With years of coaching experience and industry referrals, my sessions are practical, fast, and actor-focused. Great for auditions, reps, and career growth. Please contact me at 310-919-9127 or on WhatsApp for a free consultation.
Like a bullet fired down range, most of the time, I turn in a self tape submission and then forget about it. You can't get it back, so why worry about it?
But every now and then, like today, I get one that I have an absolute BALL doing and wish there was more to be done. I just auditioned for a well known car company and it was one of the most fun auditions I've had in a while.
It was comedy based and I'm usually not a comedic actor. 80% of my resume is dramatic cops, dads and teachers.
But this time around, I really had fun with it.
That being said, I'd love to hear about YOUR auditions that you just had fun doing, whether you got the part or not! I look forward to what you have! Have a GREAT day!
In today’s entertainment landscape, being a multi-hyphenate is no longer the exception — it’s becoming the norm. Actor-writers are uniquely positioned to tell personal, compelling stories, and their dual skillset is in high demand across indie and studio spaces. But while opportunities are growing, many multi-hyphenates struggle to package and present themselves effectively to representation. This webinar exists to close that gap — to demystify the representation process, teach creatives how to professionally market themselves, and provide practical tools for getting noticed. Whether you’re writing vehicles for yourself, developing an indie pilot, or crafting shorts to showcase your range, learning how to navigate the industry as both an actor and a writer is essential to building a sustainable creative career.
After predicting in 2011 Ozzy Osbourne's 2019 Parkinson's Disease diagnosis & 2 days before he died I predicted the exact date he would die, I've become busier than ever. But I finally got around to creating a new blog. It only took me a few years to fit it into my increasingly very busy schedule. LOL. I was wise by choosing a quiet summer Sunday. What ways do you manage your busy schedule?
Have you ever had a performance in a film that just clicked? Like, you were so in tune with the character and what they were doing in that scene, that you could practically do no wrong? This week, I'm not coming to you as an Actor, I'm coming to you as a Director.
