Title
lets make a scene
Introduction
I have been honored to be a student of Mr. Ardavany for almost 5 years now, as a result it has unleashed my creativity, and opened my eyes to what "the work" really is! Producing is next. With anything you must learn how to direct your attention.
What is it that grounds you, to do your work?

Hello, this is Deanna's assistant Nicole, honestly I feel like becoming grounded is one of the hardest challenges of this generation. It is really easy to get convenient consitency.

At action what matters the most during a casting session?

Intensity, with that question staring you down the throat. Be your natural typecast and learn. be as comfortable as possible or really awkard?? Stand out! Wear neon, go with crazy hair. Something completly new. Reinvent yourself as much as you can!

What is the first thing you do you do when you get an audition?

Get directions, lol. Study yourself then the character and every single feeling you have. Bliss, puppylove, desire, lust, jealousy, envy, resentment, fool, clumsey, gooofy, creepy, calm, nervous. Just keep going till 1 flows with everyones attention
