  • Acting Craft: Moving from Theater to Film
    Nov 18 2024

    This week, we tackle one of our most-often asked questions in class: how to transition your craft from theater acting to on-camera acting. Most training programs still offer stage training, without any real exploration of what the camera wants to see. So after three decades of experience as an actor, and ten years as an acting instructor, Misha quickly breaks down for you the process of shifting from theater to film in simple language. Using Misha's framework, you can be ready for film and television work in as little as six months.

  • Creating Art In Dark Times
    Nov 11 2024

    The US Presidential election, which threatens a torrent of negative repercussions in the near future, is sending shock waves not only nationally, but internationally. Many artists are feeling uneasy about what comes next. Our episode this week delves into some ways to stay creative during moments of political upheaval, including turning outrage and a desire for change into revolutionary art. We also talk about why it's critical to continue making art in dark times: not only for your audience, but for you, the artist. Your creative voice is more critical now than ever, and this episode gives you some tools to turn chaos into catharsis.

  • Where to Find Inspiration
    Nov 4 2024

    If you're struggling to know what to write about, which project to start next, or seeking basic artistic motivation, here are some low-hanging ways to get your creative engines firing. There have been studies done showing as children most of us score on the genius level of creativity, but by our mid-30s only 2% are still scoring that highly. If we want to retain our creativity, we want to build a life that inspires us. Turns out creativity might be something of a "use it or lose it" situation! Try these inspiration tips, and tag us on socials if one of them worked for you!
