The Green Room

Started class at The Green Room this evening, taught by Dave Murphy. What a great start to an 8 week commitment. There are 10 of us in class, a good mix of backgrounds, a few SAG, some brand new, several with theater backgrounds.

The requirement at the Green Room is that you all must start at level one, no matter your background or experience. Initially I balked at that, after all, I've been doing this for years!...but I'm very glad they have this policy. There are always things one has forgotten or simply never learned, depending on how you got into the business. Murphy put us all on tape, did a small interview which will be posted online so we can view & critique.We are a mismatched bunch, with one thing in common, the desire to act; mostly in film, some theater, and hopefully get paid for it!

Sort of a long night, left the house at 4:30, got back at 10:30, but after tonight I know it will be well worth it, we will all be at a significant advantage both in terms of ability, confidence, and creativity at auditions and running our business like a business! Chatted about every topic, and sensitive issues will remain behind closed doors, trust me when I say it was enlightening! Heck I may even post my work to get add'l input! One more brick for the foundation, great choice I made to sign up!
