Good bye LA

Today is the end of the latest chapter of the volume of my Acting career filed under "Crooked Arrows" titled "Reshoots and ADR in LA" cross referencing another section "Acting in LA" title "The First Time". It was a good trip, and I am incredibly grateful for having had the oppurtunity. I learned alot. I felt much more comfortable acting on set. With a large crowd of extras, and also grips camera people PAs etc everywhere. Its hard to get in a zone and focus. I struggled with it a bit last summer. But I learned how to deal with it and this time was definitely easier. I did my first real voice over session, and had my first real oppurtunity to work closely with the films director, Steve Rash who is a consumate professional and a great guy. It was way different entering the character with this totally differ t context and build up. For me acting on film the adrenaline of the set up, calling action, etc becomes part of the given circumstances that drive the scenes stakes. For this character the costume made a huge difference to the role. All of which was removed leaving just the actor and the performance. Steve was tremendously helpful in putting me at ease as we worked together to find the best reading. Will I move to LA? Maybe. So far I dont mind it. I will wait and see what happens! The future, what a wonderful and terrifying prospect.
