I have decided to start my own little show, following my time in self isolation in this crazy time of coronavirus. I was going to start a standard Vlog format but it has evolved, I started shooting it on my own and I realised I needed something different because everyone is doing it atm. As an actor I have developed a few characters in my head, some of them I have used in. my own sort parody videos. so I have taken one of those characters “Abdul” and I have a small skit show with him/me on my YouTube channel, he causes some mischief on these short form videos. If you would like a laugh then I ..read more

This is a joke, right? It’s not. I’ve won and lost many roles, both unpaid and paid that have come with contracts for review.

Over the last few weeks things have been picking up and I’ve been auditioning a lot more and booking in more gigs. But just a few days ago I learned a valuable lesson. I can’t say what the role was but what I can say is it was a TVS and the audition consisted of 1 line but there was a bit of action involved. I went in thinking that I could take a prop that would not only assist me in the scene but, more importantly make me stand out from everyone else who isn’t bringing something like that to the character. You see at home if It was a self tape I would have made the choice to film the scene wi ..read more
