Welcome to my acting family.

Aron Marcus thank you so much for your kind words and advice! I’m currently writing a fantasy-romantic script, and my goal is to also play the lead role. I’m learning and developing every aspect of the project, from story to characters, and I would love to connect and get guidance whenever possible. I’ll definitely check out your channel and mailing list – very excited to learn more about the industry!

Thanks for letting me know. I can't help you with the writing part, but I am sure there are people at STAGE32 who can give you advice, but yes, for the acting part, always glad to help.

• Aaron Marcus thank you so much! I truly appreciate your offer to help with the acting part. I’m currently working on my screenplay and am really excited to learn and improve my craft. I believe that as an actor, it’s essential to fully step into the character and connect deeply with their emotional world — that’s when authentic emotions can truly be seen on screen.

I agree. And, you are very welcome. I wish I had people willing to help me when I first got started.
