Hi. My name is Alexander. I’m a native angeleno, former limo driver to the stars, and an educated craftsman of acting. I have learned a tremendous amount about the business from different angles and gathered many years of experience to solidify what I teach. I would love to help you achieve the next level to your acting career. Have a selftape? Need to become more skillful? Are you lost in the business? Are you just starting? Are you seasoned and frustrated by the game? I’m here to help. I will make the process fun and exciting. You will learn to sharpen your skills to be ready for the given opportunity. Through specific work you will understand why talent is overrated. The work is what matters. The way to get better is to sharpen your skills. The more specific your work becomes the easier it is to believe your character. Specificity is what it's all about. If you’re ready to get more detailed with your CRAFT then contact me.
Please tell your friends about our site Alex. Thank you.
Why craft? Acting is a craft just like any other craft, especially film acting. Acting for the camera is technical and specific. You gotta hit marks and know how to use the camera. You gotta have talent, skills, and specificity in your work to make a character come alive. Most people in the industry have talent. Skills set you apart. The more skills developed the easier it is to grow your craft into performances people want to see.
Selftape auditions are usually $75 for 1.5 hours but if it's your first time it's only $40!!
The intent is never to book the job but to book the room. The casting process is out of your control because there are 1000 reasons why they’ll cast someone else and 1000 reasons why they’ll cast you. Every audition is an opportunity to improve and solidify your storytelling. If you're auditioning for a co star, a guest star, a movie,or whatever project on camera all are storytelling. The job is to give them your version of a story. If they want to see you again for the job great and if they don’t great. It is not conducive to your journey to wonder what they want or wonder why they didn’t pick you. It is your job to keep learning, auditioning, and turn in the best work you can. That’s all. The more opportunities you get the better chances of landing something. It truly is a numbers game. You continue auditioning until you hopefully make so many fans you'll consistently audition because they love your work. I’ll guide you to give your best audition. And you’ll learn how to use every audition to strengthen your craft to improve and understand what you did so you can apply it to the next opportunity. On all levels.
I have many years of experience with many different techniques and methods to facilitate ways to simplify the process. I will guide you in giving a performance worth watching for the camera by preparing the character with specificity to flow the work into becoming spontaneous and dynamic. The camera's job is to capture magic moments and it is the actors job to do work that makes it easier for that to happen. The more specific the work the easier it all becomes.
