You know how to act, but do you know how to be an actor (they are two very different things)
Hey there Acting Lounge. Tom Lapke here, the new Director of Global Education for Stage 32. I am going to be doing an AMA this Wednesday to answer all your questions about being (or starting out as) a professional actor.
I have been in the business for 20+ years. I hold a BA and MFA in Acting, I started Audition Update, worked for Backstage as their Director of Education and Events, taught at NYU and the Actors Studio Drama School, produced a number of professional actor showcases, and have programmed over 2000 classes, events, and workshops for actors.
I will be answering questions about how to properly format your resume, what makes a good headshot, how to choose a training program that is right for you, and anything else you can come up with. I can't wait to answer your questions.
Not going to be around on Wednesday? No problem, leave your questions here early and I will answer them for you on the day. Cheers!
