therefore....a knowledgeable actor = a powerful actor
one of my continual problems for auditions is that i get so self conscious. i want everyone to like me all the way down to the friggin sign in person.
and then i have this glorified image of the all powerful casting director. i know their name and the projects they cast and the directors they work with...but i don't know their face! i don't know what type of person they are. are they generally bitter? are they goofy? do they smell? are they a lap dog person?
so i guess for me, one perk of the workshop is a way for me to meet the casting director and hear them speak and hear them make jokes... so when i go in to actually AUDITION, my focus can be on the work and not on impressing them with my nervous smiles.
i guess i'm saying, i've come to the decision that it's worth it to me to pay thirty five bucks to put myself in front of a c.d. however, i absolutely REFUSE to pay for an information-only workshop. goddammit i am a trained actor. i want to exercise my chops, not just hear you on your soap box for good time and good $$
am i the only one like this?

The physical appearance doesn't shows his quality but his work shows the knowledge.
