Hollywood Eats Actresses Alive :: Brittany Murphy

j5x00zykduspz0k5

Our industry is kookier than the early characters actress Brittany Murphy played well. We don’t want real actors in our female talent. We want goddesses. Goddess is a synonym for actress, isn’t it? We don’t even care if they are talented. Doesn’t matter, if they can act. Hollywood and, we as a culture, only demand that they are perfect.

Then, we shred ‘em.
Actresses eat themselves up, too…

Imagine that kind of restraint, as an actress. The measuring, the meting out…of an emotional self as it blossoms at only a pace accurate to the story. Slower, than we in the audience can take. I’ll probably put this on the Actors Audition page later, but it just so boss!

...Real blog for real actors by an authentic, experienced acting + voiceover professional. Dana Kaminski had an acting career that succeeded and lasted. Amongst her credits are starring regular role on ABC series, and substantial feature film roles. (Bio page.)
This actress, now author, left the Hollywood Industry, but not L.A. Coming back with the same passion for acting, with this blog, wasn't a choice. Quote:"I started Hollywood Actor Prep, to support actors with real information. Had to. There just wasn't any to be found when I searched, on the 'net. Not by people with real experience, who had actually been inside The Industry, had a real acting career, and had substantially worked. Successfully...as I did, in both NY and LA.
I saw a lot of sites, and not one, actual, real one. Some were impressive in appearance, and expensive. Some were outright shoddy. All were entire inventions. Some conned actors for lots of money; some had social site followings.
It turned me around."
There's no fee, here at Hollywood Actor Prep. Except that for each article you read, you share it around. Sharing this site, inspiring someone else, that's the karmic requirement. No money comes in, so no money goes out, either. Not to pay for marketing, nor advertising. The actor-readers of Hollywood Actor Prep are responsible for reaching out to their fellow actors and actresses, sharing experiential information, and creating a supportive community.
The readers disseminate the acting information, keeping integrity in the acting profession. This blog has an additional mission: to keep the art of acting alive. All of the actors here are spreading that karma, consolidating an artistic actor strength, connecting us all in a way that was not possible before the internet. All real actors, supporting and mentoring, around the globe, and down the line.
WELCOME!
"So many great painters, great musicians, great geniuses ended with nothing. With broken hearts in rooms ... I want to see artists sitting at the table that decide the outcome of their lives." --Bono
