HOLLYWOOD ACTOR PREP by Dana Kaminski

If You Need To Catch Up, Head Over To My Other Site: Oscar Prep…

I have put some last minute content up; and the PDF Downloadable Oscar Ballots are there, as well as lots of other interesting stuff.

Oscar Prep [link] only runs for two months, just before the Academy Awards, every year. For the rest of the year, I put all my focus back here.

A Personal Happy New Year To All The Actors And Readers

…Of Hollywood Actor Prep!

We are embarking on a new decade!  I am thrilled to be along with you, as you fulfill your dreams of an acting career, and become an ever-finer performing artist.

You may know, that I am committed to actor activism, of my own design. I am certain that the world can get better at respecting actors; and that to be a professional actor should be easier, than it is, right now. Surely, it can be easier than it has been, for a long long time.

I am also, as you know, passionate about supporting actors who want, more than anything, to become professional actors. Who love their craft, and have an undeniable dream. Whose happiness really does depend on whether or not they pursue an acting profession.  (I know that feeling well, and that drive, and that illogical-seeming logic!)

I also understand that for many actors, it is a true calling. It is something that is like an identity, something that you are sure you were born to do. Certainly, something that is deep in your heart.

The internet makes it so easy to create a community and connect, and I am so glad that we are able to.  I am very pleased to support you on your journey. And very excited to watch your actualization occur, as it does.

I will be here.

Here’s my New Year’s Card for you…

My very best,

;~Dana

Don’t forget to come to this blog on Sundays, Noon PST, for:

Live Streaming, SUNDAY BRUNCH WITH DANA!

Tomorrow’s topic is : Time And Focus For Actors…

My Seasonal Website For The Oscars Is Up Again This Year…

With a focus on Oscar’s Acting Categories (best actor, best actress, supporting actor, supporting actress), and a set up that, once again, makes the Oscars fun. Additionally, there’s lots of information: official Academy Of Motion Pictures press releases, etc.

I am just about to email everyone who has expressed interest in my career changing Workshop. To put your name on, send me your info by using the contact sheet above or click on “contact” in this sentence here; it’s a link.

And then, celebrate your commitment to your love of acting, and your professional future, by visiting Oscar Prep, if it seems like something you may enjoy.

Go on to OscarPrep.com and enjoy the Oscar Season! I urge you to subscribe, because some days I put up lots of different stuff. It’s just a few more weeks ’til the Oscars, and you may really enjoy being a part of Oscar Prep…

(It’s Another Dana Kaminski Jam.)

:::::::::::::::::::::
BUT FIRST:
Please consider jumping into the Pro Actor Workshop that starts early next month. It’s extremely comprehensive.

The information that I will share has never been publicly taught, as far as I can decipher. Not anywhere. You will get it, Actors, in my streaming workshop, next month.

In the second month– I will be developing, assessing, and charting each individual acting participant’s focus, path, plan, action, materials, soup-to-nuts…

The rest may be up to fate…

But significantly far less than you can imagine. All actors will leave my Pro Actor Workshop…no longer allowing fate, so much responsibility, over your life’s outcome.

Let’s Start With My ProActor Workshop, May I?

Simply…

I realized that most people that offer actors classes, workshops, etc are really fakirs, posing as experts. Their information that they offer is often not correct.  Or not comprehensive.

(Too blunt? Well, look carefully. It’s just true.  You will see this a lot more clearly, after you become a professional.)

Or they are very creative with their imaginations, and great at social sites, marketing. They really don’t offer, nor can they, information that will educate any actor on how to become a professional actor.

I also realized (especially now that I am talking to so many actors online) just how much mystery and misconception is out there, at every acting level, about the acting profession. Most actors spend most of their career, some spend all of their career; on the wrong path, that will never lead them into The Industry. They never knew the way, but they thought they did.

I am talking about actors who get good training somewhere, maybe even college or grad school, or have a good coach! Still they don’t have a clue about what it specifically takes, to become a professional actor.  Sometimes, they are led astray by a self-designated expert.

Well, as you may know if you follow me on Twitter, or on this blog; especially if you have come to one of my weekly events:

• Streaming Sunday Brunch With Dana

..You may have had a glimpse into my encyclopedia of a brain, or my racer-rapid assessment skills.

Have I said that it will be live, interactive, streaming, and personal? In other words, I will look at your “look”, we will type your type,  your photos, your reel (if you have one. If not, you will learn how to get a great one, and it will be tailored to your strengths…) We will get everything and all that is essential, to professional level.

You will learn about getting an agent in the real world of acting, and about the different kinds, and different levels. You will be setting your sites on specific ones, the kind that can get you the real auditions.

I will tell you what personal and professional traits real successful working actors all have, and we will, together, work on those same skills and traits, for you to have.

I will tell you how to build your resume with the right kind of acting work, so that you will have a resume of professional level, and–sorry, but we will remove stuff too–the kind of items that I know are actually hindrances.  Red flags, that spell “amateur” to the real agents and the real casting directors.

We are going to “lay tracks” and define the path, that is a real working actor path. We are going to talk about time, and effort, and get very succinct, because time is precious. And it sometimes takes a lot of time to get to the goal, so if an actor wastes time on the wrong thing, or the wrong skills, or the wrong people; it can just wind up being too late, sometimes…Most of the time.

I will tell you how every aspect of the business works. For real. And you will leave this workshop savvy, and smart. Focused, and knowledgable.

We will work on your skills, your focus, your mindset, your individual plan. And much more,which I will not post publicly, for every other site to copy. (Once again.)

For the first time, I am offering my experiences,  my personal hard-knocks, observations, and assessment; from all my years on the inside, when I was a very successful working actress, and voiceover.  My experience as an acting teacher, and as an acting coach.

I didn’t have a relative in the business, I didn’t have any easy breaks. I made it. All within the same system that exists now, and with all the same kinds of hurdles. I know them well. I know how to surmount them.

WHY, NOWHERE ELSE, IS THERE A COMPREHENSIVE PROFESSIONAL ACTING WORKSHOP?

Why??

Because no one else has been a professional actor, and then came out the other side, and shared the information.

It’s that simple.

Here I am.

But I may not want to do this again, so catch it now.  And do I mean that.

There is so much info and you will be doing work, changing, morphing. It will change your life, and after this, you may be able to take on anything. Because acting careers are not easily made, not usually.

And, there are systems, methods, and secrets. Yes, there really are.

(And I learned them well, right at the Hollywood School Of Hard Knocks. It took years to earn my ‘diploma’…)

I will take only small groups, and try to group according to professional level and experience.

It will be supportive, it will be rigorous, it will be personal.  In other words, I will share my personal information, from all that I learned on the inside, and how to get there! And I will take each person, personally, and will get them up to snuff.

Are  you ready?

Sign up on the contact form, if you wish to be on the list for this workshop that starts in January. Eight weeks.

Get your funds ready, because…

As generous as I am…

It ain’t like this blog.

It’s extremely valuable information…Rare, unique, intense, exceptional, and very, very, valuable.

It’s not free.

Doing Streaming Brunch For Second Sunday –Still A Sort Of Live Rehearsal…

But the spontaneity makes it fun, dontcha know!

Tweet your questions or use the UStream chat window…Would love to hear from you…

Am planning some more advanced tech stuff for future shows…And I am not talking about the video–I still want another ‘ tech rehearsal’ today, on audio only. When I get that part down, I promise to utilize the video.

So don’t worry, I will be making tech mistakes on audio.

EDITING THE VID RIGHT NOW, AND GOING TO PUT IT UP WITH HIGHLIGHTS SINCE IT WAS A LONG BRUNCH! (Almost a feast…)

Then, probably next week, I will include the video.

So, I can make some better mistakes, like putting my foot in my big mouth….For all the world to see!

Or like this…

Okay, noon let’s get this brunch started!

Right here, at my place…Hollywood Actor Prep…

EVERY SUNDAY AT NOON PST!

Bring your own bagel, your own barking dogs…It’s on Sundays, so you can come in your PJ’s…got all kinds of fun stuff planned that I will be doing as soon as I learn how to master doing all the tech at the same time that I am giving all that brainy info, and trying not to lisp too much, and, well….since I feel I have pretty much mastered the tech stuff because I am so determined…

I mean, look how I have changed, just to be able to multitask during my broadcasts…

What do you think of the set? I may change it before doing next week’s BRUNCH, so don’t get too attached to it.

Don’t get too attached to the elephant trunk, either. I’m surely not gonna have that when I expand to video, next week. That was me just going a bit too far…needed a few extra arms. Absolutely do not need a trunk for a nose. Not for this gig, anyhow.

Some Twitter feedback on Streaming Sunday Brunch With Dana…

If You Think That Giving A Rotten Audition For A Big Film Role Is Bad…

Or you made a big mistake onstage in front of a packed audience…

Have you seen the photo of Rihanna’s new ink?

It’s Rihanna’s philosophy, and it’s been mine, too.  Everything is a lesson. An opportunity to grow. As an artist, an actor.  And as a human being.

As an actor, I knew that I could either learn something that accelerated me toward being the kind of actor that I strove to be. Or not.

In auditions, it only made the subsequent ones, easier. If I could get over not doing it as well as I wanted, or worse(!), I had three choices:

1. I could beat myself up emotionally, and convince myself that I was not up to par.
2. I could devote myself, even more assiduously to my acting craft, so that I could insure that my skills would not let me down, in future auditions.
3. I could accept that some auditions just are not going to turn out perfectly. Which had an unexpected outcome, in fact.  By that accepting that, I was more relaxed about audition expectations, and more relaxed altogether, in my auditions.  Which made my auditions much better, because it allowed my talent to flow. Because I was more relaxed, I had more access to my full acting skill; my ‘acting instrument’ wasn’t stifled, by nerves, to be nearly unusable.

None of my personal auditioning philosophy, that I shared just now, would have happened if I hadn’t experienced some very uncomfortable casting opportunities.  Talk is cheap. Experience is huge.

Sometimes, my lessons were that there is a lesson. That, simply that. Like a magic, and uncomfortable, pointer to a certain something that wasn’t being worked on, that needed to be. In my craft, in my attitude, or in my psyche.

Often, it was that I had fallen back into the bad habit of being negative. Or being too hard on myself. Or not enjoying the path, the process, the evolution of becoming a professional. Patience, and gratitude for being involved in something I truly loved with all my might, is pretty big stuff. Yet with a strong focus on a goal, it was easy to forget how lucky I felt, to be in the process of developing myself, and really doing something that I loved so much.

Professional Actors Audition Differently

An experienced, professional actor, walks into an audition much differently than a novice actor.  They do the acting part of the audition differently, and they leave the casting room differently at the end. The entire time, a professional actor with some real solid work on their resume, relates to the casting director differently, certainly, than the novice actor. Or someone who has a fresher acting career.

One of the most beautiful things about acting, I believe, is that a professional actor can spend the rest of his or her life growing as an artist.  I’m not sure other professions are like that.  But, I wouldn’t know, either. Acting is the only real profession I’ve ever had.

Best,

;~Dana

PPS Do share, please, and thanks for paying this forward. Thanks also, for making an actor community in the world, and for being a part of mine!

IMPORTANT NEWS:

I am doing a streaming workshop called the PRO ACTOR WORKSHOP. That’s right. I will teach actors how to be a professional actor…If you are interested, please use the ‘contact’ form to let me know.  You can find it at the top of this page.

I will be sharing all the things that I know and learned from being an actor, who was on the inside.  The real deal. I haven’t posted most of what I will be teaching, publicly; it hasn’t been here, or anywhere else; for that matter.

I’m not even going public with what my content will be, in this workshop. (Heck if I am going to give some of the fraudulent sites some real topics to hawk to gullible actors.)

I honestly know that you can’t learn this from any other “acting site”. Or live workshop, or class. It may change your life. I believe it will.  SIgn up, because I am getting very excited to do this soon…There’s a lot of material, and I can’t promise I’ll want to do this workshop again!

PPS  What I haven’t told you in this post is that I once made an onstage, cringemaking-for-life, error,  in front of a packed house. Only flat-out begging can get me to tell that tale…

This post was one of two that were corrupted today and will be back on soon.  In the meantime… If you are inquiring about the workshop, and want information about it, please use the contact form.

Why A Form? …Because of the “Must-Do’s”, for one.

They separate the Professional Actors from everybody else.

I am only giving out what kind of information I will be covering in my new workshop, to those actors who are interested in attending! It’s far too valuable, and this is one category of information that I am just not giving away for free. Plus, I will be sharing real insider experiential stuff, and that is nowhere else…to be found.

If you are interested in really knowing what separates the professional actors from the non-pros, and how they got to be that way, and how you can be that, too.

Leave your name and email, on this form. Click here for the link. Only Dana Kaminski will see these email addresses…This form is very secure.

…Getting very psyched, and I hope you are too!

Best,

Dana

(This is what that other post said in it’s little summary—

Legal Disclaimer:

No promises, claims, or statements here. Except, of course, a virtual truckload of experiential, and individually-focused, information about how to be a professional actor. And getting you that knowledge, so that you meet the qualifications of professional acting. For this New…

Do you think that was what broke the database? …The idea of that ‘whole truckload of information’ that I have been holding onto for all this time, and about to release…??

Or was it the authentic emotional chops of the  Crying Actors post that went up the next day?

Erma Bombeck was a newspaper columnist.

I read this near the beginning of my career.

Something about acting, choosing to pursue it, wholly, after the love and passion of it chooses you well before…

It seems to be just about as fully alive as anyone can feel. Can be.

Here’s Erma Bombeck’s lifefull, and wistful reminder. To live fully.
In every area.

It really does go faster than you can imagine, or foresee.

So if you are waiting to start your acting career until you get the perfect picture, or lose 10 pounds, etc. Start now instead.

Acting; or whatever you want, that will mean fully living for you…

Here’s what she wrote:

IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER by Erma Bombeck

Life is too short to let it pass you by. We only have one shot at this and then it’s gone.

Best,

Fred Frazier Reads Hollywood Actor Prep And Is An Actor On Twitter

I thought, wouldn’t it be  cool to give an actor, embarking on a career,  an opportunity to attend one of the events at The Academy Of Television Arts And Sciences?

…Those are the same people who hold the Emmys.

This particular  event was called The Performers Peer Group Event, and it was for the actors who are members of The Academy, and the Emmy Acting Category Nominees.  I asked Fred Frazier to come along, since I knew he was an  LA actor, and was someone I had a longterm relationship with, on Twitter.

Here’s a picture of Fred with SAG Vice-President Anne Marie Johnson.  (He got to talk with her about SAG vouchers a bit…)

Here Is Anne Marie Johnson and me,  Dana Kaminski

Here’s an actor I have worked with,  Paul Ben Victor.

He is a member of  the  Academy. (It’s a bit blurry, because I used my iPhone.)

Governor Of The Academy, and Actor: Peter Kwong …With Dana Kaminski

I’ve got more blurry bad photos, but two more that I wish to post the most…

This  Bartender and Catering Server are Actors.

How do I know?  Because I asked  them…of course.

This  guy was gorgeous and swe-e-et. Tall, about 6′3″.  A casting director  couldn’t have cast  this  ”role” better: about the unrepresented actors, who really should be getting past the doors of talent agencies  and  studio casting sessions.

This actor, below, told me she was also a stand-up comic…

Go,  girl!

The Primetime Emmy Awards Are Very Soon

Are you familiar with which actors and actresses are nominated?
Are you familiar with which shows?
Here’s an easy way to familiarize yourself.
Look at the photos, and then at the captions at the bottom of each page.

The Emmy Nominations for Best Dramatic Shows, Acting

The Emmy Nominations for Best Comedy Shows, and Acting

Don’t Forget–I’ll Be Tweeting  LIVE From The 61st Emmys!

So follow me on Twitter, so you can get the skinny, immediately–  and you’ll be able to tweet back to me in the Press Tent…

(You just may  have a question to  ask an Emmy-winning actor.)

My Twitter Name is __dana__…

And if  you aren’t signed up for Twitter yet, you  can do so by clicking right here...

Very Best,

Here are The Creative Arts Emmys Actor-Presenters,  Host, etc…

I  have a friend who works at The Emmys, and he says the “The Creative Arts Emmys” are,  actually, the most  fun. They take place a week  prior to the “Primetime Emmys“.

Confused?

What’s the diff between the different Emmys?

The Creative Arts Emmys are separate from the Primetime Emmys, because The  Creative Arts Emmys honor and award the professionals, in television,  who do the creative jobs…and who aren’t called “talent“.

♦Yeah, I know…Like  creatives  aren’t  talent, and talent  aren’t  creative…

♦But, those are the accepted and used Hollywood terms

Of note, in this press  release:

• There will be a few “talent” awards [which means actors]–”Guest Star Emmys”
• There is going to be a broadcast, of The Creative Emmys,  on the E!  Channel, but not  live, nor will it broadcast on the  same  date.
• The host will be Kathy Griffin.

Here it is, copied from my email to you all:

British Actors are doing something about the salary disparity between male actors and female actors.

England respects it’s actors, and the art of acting: in all areas, whether it be television, film or theatre.

The British give their actors titles!

Awarded by the Queen!  …Ever hear of “Dame” Judy Dench??

Female actors are speaking out about actors’ salaries being different.

Could that happen here??

On the Forbes site, I read that Harrison Ford made four times as much money, last year, than did America’s top female earner: Actress Angelina Jolie.

My first reaction was: Did Harrison Ford make any films this year?

Most importantly, he isn’t even this year’s “big buzz”.  He hasn’t been, for some time,  actually. Whereas, Angelina Jolie is the hottest female commodity.  And I do NOT mean in terms of her sexuality or even her appearance.

I mean, as far as actors go.  As far as business.  A commodity in those terms.

Apparently, she is the hottest acting commodity,  female  or male.

Actor Angelina Jolie is “The Biggest Celebrity On The Planet”

…According to Forbes Magazine.  [Who calculated this scientifically, and mathematically.]

By that logic,  she should have earned as much or more, than Harrison Ford. This year. In terms of business assessment, attributes. Wouldn’t ya think?

The numbers don’t add up, because Harrison Ford made his money off of the backend of another Indiana Jones movie.

But,  that still doesn’t change the pay differences,  by gender…

But,  go to my next post,  because Forbes has better comparisons, and I’ll show them there.

Overall, it is a solid  NOPE:

Women who act, professionally;  don’t make as much as men who act, professionally. No  matter what.

English Actor Zoe Wanamaker

From Britain’s newspaper “The Telegraph”

“Wanamaker, who stars in the popular BBC sitcom My Family, revealed she had to fight the Corporation for equal pay with her co-star Robert Lindsay and said women were ‘always at the bottom as far as pay is concerned.’

Her comments came after fellow actresses Imelda Staunton, Harriet Walter and Maxine Peake signed a petition earlier this year demanding better representation for women in drama on ITV, Channel 4 and the BBC.

They also follow accusations of sexism and ageism in the BBC after the corporation replaced the choreographer Arlene Phillips as a judge on Strictly Come Dancing with the much younger Alesha Dixon.

Wanamaker, who appeared alongside Simon Russell Beale in Much Ado About Nothing at the National Theatre last year, said agents and bookers should be “more careful” when negotiating deals for female performers.

‘Women are always at the bottom as far as pay is concerned – the equal pay business is a big struggle,’she told The Stage newspaper.

The BBC refused to comment on Wanamaker’s salary but said it was ‘absolutely committed’ to equal pay for female actresses.

A spokesman said: ‘We will not go into specifics on talent pay but we are absolutely committed to equality for men and women. There are many factors which determine artists’ salaries and which results in them being paid at varying levels. The BBC hugely values Zoë Wanamaker as an artist.’

It is not the first time Wanamaker has spoken out on the issue of pay. She accused the makers of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone of being ‘notoriously mean’ after appearing in the film as games mistress Madam Hooch in 2001.

The actress declined a deal to appear in three Harry Potter films because of the ‘terrible’ pay.

A recent petition demanding equal pay for women launched by Equity, the actors’ union, states that though ‘over half the viewing public is female, in TV drama, for every female character, there are two male characters’.

A survey conducted across 20 countries last year by unions representing nearly 80,000 performers found female actors get paid less than men and have fewer work opportunities.”

I will be reporting more about this, very soon…

Best,

Dana
