This page contains auditions posted on Thursday, May 26, 2011.
There are so many different techniques that actors can utilize to achieve a solid performance. Many local teachers focus on different styles, and some may work perfectly, while others just aren't for you. Whether it's Stanislavsky, Viewpoints, Meisner, or just being you, there is a reason so many people rely on these techniques when focusing on training and improving your acting abilities.
What are some of the techniques you have used in your training, and what have you actually applied when working on set? What works for you, and what doesn't? Sometimes, depending on the role, being a method actor is the best way for me to get a true, honest performance, while others may laugh at method actors and think it's unnecessary to go that far to get a good performance.
Whatever works for you is what you should stick with, but it's always interesting to learn about other actor's techniques, and what your process is to achieve that perfect, natural performance.
Share with us what your process is and what techniques work best for you. Which teachers have you been drawn to that have helped you get that solid performance. Do you use different techniques for different character types? Is your process for film the same as it would be when preparing to perform on stage?
Let's get this week's topic of discussion going
As always, if you are a fan of the blog, please share this with actor friends. If you have any feedback for me on how to improve my blog, share this with me so that I may work on improving the blog.
Thanks.

Looking for someone interested in taking up a co-creative / co-producing position with a local web-series!
We are a non-profit fan series called We Are Gotham City, with a website at wearegothamcity.com, a set of fantastic scripts and a great group of actors, and are currently working on a kickstarter funding page.
Our filming process has become rather slow due to a lack of resources and available help; what we're in need of at the moment is someone who is willing to take up a co-creative, co-producing sort of role to assist with the securing of locations and dates and times for production (filming would last only a couple hours per episode).
The role is not a paying one, as we aren't legally authorized to provide payment thanks to creative license. However, there are incentives available.
Thank you so much!
- Aparna @ We Are Gotham City
