It’s the end of the term. Take a break! But when you come back, be ready to pick it up again. Treat acting like and athlete values their practice time. You got to put in the reps for it to stick. With time, lots of experience, your craft will be part of you. But you cannot rush that process. So, do the work, the full work, each and every time. It gets easier, I promise! #acting #sevenpillarsacting #actorslife #workingactor #actor #actingtips
This was the best shot of the weekend on set! No one has to twist my arm to fall into bed. Director Narjes Abbas has such a vision for her film, Despondent. The entire set was pink with rose highlights. If toxic beauty standards had a look, she nailed it. #actorslife #workingactor #workingmama #actor #acting #womenempowerment #uno
Unconscious bias… the actor’s secret enemy. Because UB is a stealth bomber, the best way to eradicate it from your work is to take honest HONEST assessments of what you connect to. That’s why the standard for Bombs in Seven Pillars Acting is so high. It is easy to BS ourselves and assume we share the personal meanings of the character. So be on the lookout! And when you do identify that bias and bring it to the light, you can start to do the work of truly seeing the world through the character’s eyes. #sevenpillarsacting #actorslife #workingactor #workingmama #actingtechnique #keepithonest
Thanks to @Southern University Law Center the Seven Pillars Acting star is now a federally registered design mark! About a a year and a half ago the same organization helped me to receive the trademark for Seven Pillars Acting. They are amazing! And it means so much to our star recognized as something unique and all our own. #sevenpillarsacting #acting #actingtechnique #womenownedbusiness #womenempowerment
