Howdy All at Stage 32! I have been a member since 2012. Karen Ross suggested I post here
in the Acting Lounge and I am glad to do so.
I have been teaching at SAG-AFTRA since 2004 and at AFI to actors, producers,writers, directors, helping people perform under pressure and curing them of
their stage fright when they do their work. I have helped hundreds of people in
the business over the years. I also wrote a book about stage fright in 2003.
I am really glad that you are beginning to address this very important issue in your
posts recently. I even had a major director who used to work for years at MGM
in the old days, but is still working in the business ask me for help with his stage
fright, so it doesn't just happen to actors and writers who may have writers' block
which is the same thing as stage fright only the writing version of it.
We have an exciting business as Karen Ross said in her article, but you have to have down time to
get grounded but you have to know how to do it. That’s one of the other things
I teach actors, writers, directors, producers and others in the business how to
do and I have changed lives and careers doing it. I do private consultations also not just
classes at SAG-AFTRA and AFI. You can be happy and more productive even in the midst
of our crazy yet fun business. I can be reached via email through my website, under the
contact us tab. I get so many texts, that it's best to email me through my website.
BRAVO STAGE 32!
