So You Want To Be An Actor? (Archives below).. I've taken the liberty of reprinting 2009's Actor Tip #6 here because it is still relevant and offers a list of West Coast and East Coast photographers with links to their portfolios. Some may have moved but most of them haven't. Best wishes for a prosperous, happy, healthy working actor milestone of a year in 2010! Cinti P.S. if you scroll all the way down, way, way down, you will find the archived Actor Tips from 2009 - all of which are still relevant. A read through might be useful. So You Want To Be An Actor?

Cinti Wishing You The Luck Of The Irish During Pilot Season... It is key to stay motivated, stayfocused and do your very best at each shot you are given. It's easiersaid than done of course while we juggle survival jobs and try toschedule the most important auditions during a lunch hour or after adifficult day on the job. We nearly kill ourselves with stress andexpect to do our best under crazy conditions. Sometimes when it's areally important - possibly life changing job, just take a day off tofocus on it. This is especially necessary for those who have no agentand know that the only way you can be seen for that Broadway tour is toget up at 3am to be in line outside of the casting office on line withhundreds of others by 5am if you hope to be among the lucky ActorsEquity Members to actually get an appointment that day. The lines forthe Wicked Tour on yesterday February 22, 2010 were unreal.Half of us had already waited in one area of town on anotherline before arriving there for the EPA's. Most of us will not be seen for the job at all. No matter, we keep at it, it's all we really know how to do. Entertain and seek to entertain. The show will go on until we land the next job.. So, we claw and scratch our way to gain theopportunity to shine and pay our way. It's an honest living but it isalso one of the toughest ways to go. So my fellow actors, I wish you good speed, God speed and the luckof the Irish to keep the wind at your backs propelling you forwardtoward prosperity... HAPPY St. PATRICKS DAY to you; don't forget to have a bit of fun! HAPPY VALENTINES DAY 2010!!! Love is in the air and yet, we are in the midst of a busy pilot season. The best valentine I could receive is a plush recurring role in a new show.. What do you want for valentines day? Your other half if you have one must also be taken into consideration. What do they want? What is it that is within your ability to actually provide?
Pilot season 2010 is interesting. What will replace the Jay Leno 10 o'clock hour on NBC? What will replace the Conan O'Brien show after midnight now that he has taken a buy out? These are all things you may wish to ponder as you go about getting your scripts and talent in the running. What will replace Ugly Betty on ABC, whose contract was not renewed? Does your agent have enough clout to even get you through the door to be considered for the current line up of pilots being shot? Or the films lined up for production? Do you have an agent? With the influx of Oscar winning and Oscar nominated actors lined up to accept television pilot projects, can lesser known actors secure their positions in the running? If you have an edge, use it. They are showing no love in TV Land these days even for the most desirable valentines. So submit yourself the best way that you can and enjoy the ride. Take some time to smell the roses, send the roses, enjoy some personal down time. If you get the part you will be too busy to share in the quality time that you take for granted right now. Be prepared. Enjoy your relationships.. Tis the season of Love...
LET ME DOWN EASY Written & performed By Anna Deavere Smith Directed by Leonard Foglia at Second Stage Theater in NYC Ms. Smith is all alone on stage but for the presence of famous and ordinary people who seem to channel themselves through her mind and body to share personal experiences, expectations for health care and ultimately death. They poke fun at themselves and at the mundane with heart warming, unprotected sincerity, shedding light on different concerns from varied points of view. Ms. Smith gives a marvelous performance. Her research, done in fellowship for the Yale Medical School will help to educate not only medical students but theater goers as well with this intellectually vibrant event. I particularly love the globally diverse sampling of current and historically significant people, places and events facing our current world economy as they tie into the arguments for and against a government controlled health care. Natural disasters affecting health care like wild fires, tsunami and hurricanes took center stage from the mouths of strangers as well as self assisted situations like dare devil stunts. It is an exciting, hilarious, serious and stimulating must see. Running through January 3, 2010 at Second Stage. Http://www.2st.com
So You Want To Be An Actor? Tip #7 Recap and Update.. During the winter months - November 2008 through February 2009 I had the pleasure of working as part of the core nursing staff on the upcoming dark comedy Nurse Jackie starring Edie Falco who is marvelous to watch in this funny, serious, dark - mad crazy show. The good looking fellow in Twilight - Peter Facinelli is a co-star along with Eve Best whom I am a tad bit jealous of only because she worked with one of the best actors on the planet on Broadway - Kevin Spacey! But she is absolutely the best herself, it's not just a name in this case! The show also stars Merritt Wever, Haaz Sleiman (a best supporting actor nod for his role in The Visitor) and Paul Schulze. The fabulously funny. Anna Deavere Smith is a frequent quest star as Dr. Akalitis! Fabulous! You will see me scooting around doing nursey things in my green uniform. Green is not my best color... But if you see a green blurb with an afro, it just might be me. The cast and crew were for the most part wonderful to work with and be a part of. Visit Showtime to figure out when we air.
Here is the link. http://www.sho.com/site/nursejackie/home.do Now for the recap: Over the past several months we've be covering the essentials - all things that you will need in order to prepare you for becoming a paid working actor. First we talked about training - and I've left all of these details on this page, scroll down for indepth review or to catch up if you are new.

Cinti Actor Tip #5. Your Calling Card is your Commercial or Basic Headshot Your 8x10 picture is your calling card. It is the first thing that agents, casting directors and industry professionals see of you before they review your resume. It should be an honest representation of you, something that you can recreate without the assistance of a makeup artist or a hair dresser for casting sessions and interviews on short notice. There are several different types of looks to consider: COMMERCIAL, CASUAL, BUSINESS, PROFESSIONAL, FORMAL, SPORTS/ACTION we will address them one at a time - today we will talk about your Commercial or Basic Headshot. Remember if you have any questions or comments: info@CintiLaird.ws Commercial or Basic Headshot: Your basic promotional photo is called a headshot because it is an 8 X 10 photograph which features your head and shoulders only. It is considered commercial because it should simply be a representation of you in your most natural state - the look that you can recreate without the assistance of a make-up artist or a hair stylist at a moments notice for interviews and auditions. Commercial refers to the guy or girl next door. You are not all dressed up and primped over when you are causally hanging around in your living room or your back yard but, unless you are cleaning or fixing the car, you generally look good enough to receive visitors. Commercial also historically refers to the "P&G" look or the Proctor & Gamble look. P&G has long been a supporter of daytime television drama where many P&G products are advertised in commercials that finance the shows. Products like toothpaste, soup, tv-dinners, make-up, hair care products, deodorant, cereal, baby food, house hold cleaning products, most traditionally soap - hence the term soap opera. So, you will want to give your commercial headshot a great deal of thought before you plop down your cash to pay a photographer because you will want to live with this basic photo for at least two years, or until you change your look, which ever happens sooner. Most actors do not want to pay a few thousand dollars on a photo session and then run out and cut their hair. It can disappoint casting directors if you send out a photo that no longer looks like you and that would be a waste of their time and your money. However, what some people do, is buy a wig and take it to their hair salon and pay their stylist to cut their hair and cut a wig into a near exact style. This way they always have hair that looks like their photo even when they cut their hair into a new style or have a "bad" hair day. With a wing in the bag they are sure to get at least two years of use out of an expensive photo shoot as long as their weight and other factors remain the same. It's economical, and most people don't change drastically in two years time. Your commercial look should work to get you auditions for both daytime drama and television commercials. So you might want to take some time to look through some daytime magazines and see how the daytime drama players are represented in their basic photo. Visit the photographers on your list, take some time to meet them and look at their portfolio. Chemistry is very important when selecting a photographer, if the chemestry is not right no matter how great a job they may have done for your classmates, the photos may lack a certain quality that is uniquely yours. Test your wardrobe, have a friend or family member take test photos of you in various styles and colors. Your favorite sweater or shirt may or may not work for you. Look them over carefully and see what looks best on you before spending any monies. Remember, for the "commercial headshot" you will want to wear something casual, no hanging or distracting earrings or jewelry. The focal point of all eyes should be you and the character of your smile. It is important to smile, casting directors want to see what your teeth look like. If you have bad teeth, you can not sell tooth paste but you might be considered for the role of a villian or the bad person that everybody loves to hate. We will talk about other types of photographs that you may want to add to your portfolio of calling cards, so stay tuned. Cinti So You Want To Be An Actor? Weekly tips from Cinti Laird... Actor Tip #4 Tools of the Trade You will want to familiarize yourself with some very basic tools of the trade. First, if you are in New York, The Drama Book Store on West 40Th Street will be your home away from home until you get into SAG, AFTRA or Equity the three main actors unions... Then the union hall will be your home away from home. Actors need a home away from home that is close to the audition and rehearsal halls so that they can change clothes, makeup, eat, recite lines or warm up their voices and their bodies before, after and in between auditions. But you are not there yet. You need audition material for your classes. You need to get to know who is who and what is what. So, it will be necessary for you to take the next step which is to enroll in a serious acting program or study privately with someone who has clout in the industry. Take a journey to The Actors Studio on West 44Th Street, ask about their new program. Visit the Atlantic Theater Company, The Irish Repertory Theater, see what HB Studio has to offer - I know that they offer a two year program, Stella Adler, Sonja Moore Studio, NYU Continuing Education - I believe that NYU offers a summer theater intensive as does the Yale Drama School, Julliard offers full-time and evening classes, The New School, Manhattan Theater Club, The Public Theater, The New York School of Film & Television, American Academy of Dramatic Arts (Amda) Meisner to name a few.. visit the schools, audit classes. Read about them and their instructors at the Drama Book Shop. The Drama Book Shop has more appropriate material on our craft than does the public library and are rather kind about people browsing. While you are there, pick up the latest issue of The Ross Reports. You will come to rely heavily upon the Ross Reports in your life as an actor. Tools... 1- A solid education (Read about, visit, audit and compare schools before plopping down your heard earned or inherited cash!)
2- The Drama Book Shop (Your home away from home. Frequently they host industry leaders with informative book signings, so it's also a great place to meet people.) 3- Get your hands on the Ross Reports and read it from cover to cover. You will need it in the months ahead... Merry Christmas, Happy Chaunukah, Happy Kwanza, Happy Holidays and have a splendid New Year. Hope this is useful information. Cinti Laird
Actor Tip #3 Get a Solid Foundation By now you've either proven that you can be relied upon or not. So if you can't be relied upon now, make the decision to go on or toss it! If you are going on, you will need a solid foundation. An introductory scene study class will not do it. Remember that was just a test to see if you had some basic qualities. Time to move on.. The next step is to enroll in a serious acting program or to study privately with someone who has clout in the industry. Take a journey to The Actors Studio on West 44th Street, ask about their acting school. Visit the Atlantic Theater Company, the New Federal Theater, Julliard, Classical Theater of Harlem, Irish Repertory Theater, look at what HB Studio has to offer, Stella Adler, Sonja Moore, NYU Continuing Education, The New School, Manhattan Theater Club, The Public Theater, Meisner, The New School, The NY School of Film & Television to name a few.. Audit classes and interview teachers. Do your best to make a good decision on your own behalf. Be Present In The Moment Actor Tip of the week #2 by Cinti LairdBy now, you have enrolled in your scene study class, selected your scenes and paired off with scene partners to begin work. You have probably begun rehearsals and are memorizing your lines. That's a great start. However, I must warn you to be mindful of one of the pitfalls that new actors tend to emulate over and over again without fail. While they are on performing they deliver their lines in character with full energy. Then they slump, out of character and wait for their fellow actors to finish lines before jumping back into character and delivering their next set of lines. Acting is not waiting your turn and jumping in. It is the "act" of being fully present in the moment - that is, each and every moment. For example while you are engaged in a scene, pay 100% attention to your fellow actors, what they say, how they move and interact. You listening intently and being guided by their every gesture, every word, will extract from you an appropriate reaction within the moment. If you remain fully engaged, you will be propelled to a natural response by the gravity of the chemistry which develops from simply always being in character, always being interested in what is going on between your cast members and always being present in the moment. This will also give you immeasurable power in the event someone goes up on their lines, as you will be able to save the day. Just stay present - lucid and clear of your characters intention - within the moment. This will open the door to trust in your team players and they in you to bring forth your best performance. Being fully present a basic principal to building a solid foundation. So, You Want To Be an Actor? Weekly Tips by Cinti LairdTip #1 Most of my tips will make reference to New York City resources because that is where I live and work and what I know. However if you do a little research and find the counter parts in your area, the basic information is universal - only the names have changed to protect the guilty! Today we'll talk about "adults" who want to be actors, because it is quite a different world than it is for children. If you have been in some other career and are deciding for the first time that acting is the thing, then I suggest that you enroll forthwith into an acting program. Acting is a collaborative process unless you work in a one-person show. Then you need only concern yourself with your director, lighting, sound tech, set dressers, costumes, stage manager, house manager and properties persons. You get the point, a one-person show is also a collaborative process without other actors! So what I am getting at here is "reliability." Talent can be developed, but reliability often goes to pattern. Can you be trusted by other actors to show up? To meet outside of the classroom on your own time for rehearsals? To be present in the scene? To have done your homework and professionally move the process along? These are important questions to ask yourself. I recall visiting a West End Theater to see Peter O'Toole perform live on a London stage after a lifetime of watching him on the silver screen. I was mesmerized by his performance. He drank from an alcohol bottle during the entire play. A woman standing near me as we waited outside of the theater - a complete stranger - wagered a bet with me that he was in fact drinking alcoholic beverage and not water as I insisted because "If he were drunk he couldn't deliver that brilliant performance! Besides, it had to be water, because he drank as if it were and if it weren't he'd be dead of alcohol poisoning." Everyone knows that I don't make a wager unless I know that I can win! We waited for more than an hour with many other avid fans and theatergoers to get our autograph and bask in the presence of this great actor! Finally he emerged, hardly standing - being seemingly held up by the strength of his considerably shorter stout manager. "I win!" said the blond haired stranger and I now had to pay for her circus ticket - wouldn't you know she'd get the most expensive seat. Actors! Or shall I say Excellence in Acting did me in! The point here is that showing of is 99% of the job. Mr. O'Toole turned up - he was playing an alcoholic in the role, yet inebriated or not, he totally delivered a stellar performance even if he couldn't walk out of the theater unassisted at the end of the day. He let no one down who was relying on him to do his part in this collaborative process (except me and my wager). One excellent test of your reliability factor is to enroll yourself into a beginners scene study class. HB Studio offers one I believe on nights and weekends. As far as I'm concerned it's the best bang for your buck with reputable professionals posing as teachers. If you are in New York, I'd suggest you take this class first - if they will allow you to. Sometimes there are prerequisites, auditions and things like that. Let me know how you make out. Http://HBStudio.org
If you have any questions or comments please feel free to post them to me by clicking on the Actress, Writer, Director, Producer tab in the top left hand corner of this page. It's the 4th line down from the top. That's it for the newbie tip of the week! At the bottom of this page I have listed quite a number of helpful resources for actors nationwide - with links to sites like Actors Equity Association, Screen Actors Guild and American Federation of Radio & Television Actors - to name a few. I'm happy to add any other useful resources to the list that you might suggest.
Check in next week for Tip #2... Cinti Laird
SUMMER IS OVER Back to work, back to school. To recap my summer, I worked on the first episode of the new Sherri Shepherd Show for Lifetime Television. It's called SHERRI. I went to the New Jersey shore for the first time in my life, only because a friend purchased a home there. I loved the contrast between the Long Island's secluded south shore beaches, that are the brunt of my beach going experience and the densely populated New Jersey shore line for as far as my eye could see. Professionally, I am now freelancing with a few different agents and managers, but have not signed exclusively with anyone. If you would like to work with me on any Screen Actors Guild, American Federation of Radio & Television Artists or Actors Equity Association project drop me a line at info@CintiLaird.ws. If it requires agency, I'll send you some names and you can decide who you'd like to work with in terms of my submission for your project. Of course when I sign with someone there will be only one option but as of September 1, 2009 I am still a free agent. Soon my favorite 8X10 calling card with my signature AFRO will have some more competition as I gear up for a series of photo shoots. I'll post the new shoots here and the names of or links to the photographers. Each photographer has unique style and I enjoy that. It's back to work after this weekend, so everybody make the best of you LABOR DAY WEEKEND CELEBRATIONS!!! It promises to be a busy fall season..
