Writing & Acting Offers? by Dayna Burnworth  •  last post Nov 13th

Hello fam,

  I have a question that may seem odd or maybe I’m just feeling so brand-new. I’m a writer/author and I have not done any acting jobs. I do public speaking quite a bit and have a pretty solid side career from those gigs. 
   Today marks the seventh or eighth time a producer has been interested in is if my scripts, but insists on me acting in it. I don’t write vehicles for myself, I don’t have headshots, and I am not generally interested in acting. (Yes, I probably would depending on the situation but it is not my goal.)
   I always get a weird feeling when I’m offered to act like it’s a joke, not real or something said to butter me up. Nothing really gets moving in each of these scenarios and the projects end up in development hell. 
   Is this common? Is this one of those situations where that’s what they think writers want to hear? 
   I appreciate your thoughts!

Nerdist School by Gladstone  •  last post Nov 9th

My agent recommended looking into taking improv at the Nerdist studio; apparently they're one of the newer but also well regarded improv schools? Has anyone taken any classes from them, improv or otherwise? I have already taken classes at Second City and Groundlings in the past.

Is it easy to moving into film Acting from Theater? by Chelsea J  •  last post Nov 1st

I guess the reason I'm asking this question is because in Barbados,  it's not easy to get theater gigs and  I truly love acting.  The thrill of getting to be a totally different person from your rather boring life excites me a bit.  It's like bring a one dimensional character to life.
