My serious interest in acting has been evolving over the last few years. It occurred to me that the need for more mature actors was increasing.

I have been with MovieWork Now Casting about thirteen months. Considering my serious interest in acting, I needed to be with a group that would help me along. Seriously, the moment I walked in to the office I knew I was in the right place.

The auditioning process was interesting and proved the value of my relationship with MovieWork Now Casting. The production company searched the talent database and based on their physical requirements (a mature person) selected me to audition for a lead role. So there I was in front of nine people I did not know, reading for the part of a not-so-nice character and trying to get the intensity needed. I have to admit to being more excited than nervous...but somehow managed to get the role.

As far as training, I have been fortunate in that I have been doing public speaking for over thirty years and am constantly seeking to improve those skills via workshops, seminars, etc. so inflections, pauses, word shaping and timing were not an issue. Using very sensitive audio equipment was challenging and that took some getting used to.
