Thanks for reading this.

And yes...I'll spell check this time. :)

I'm not sure what Fred's rule are. And I don't want this to be an 
advertisement for my
acting coach. So I'm just gonna use 'coach',instead of her/his name. If you 
email me directly I'll be happy to pass along the coach's website info.

***I'm going to speak to two different groups. Directors and Actors***

Directors............Have you ever taken an acting class?? Why not??? When 
you hear
Hollywood actors say..." So and So is an actors director." And they really 
enjoy working with that director. Do you 'get it' ?? As an actor and as working 
the production side this is what I've seen from local Indie directors.....Set 
the camera here,
light this, blah..blah.. move this, blah..blah....running out of 
time...blah..blah..Okay bring in the actors...GO.....cut..reshoot.....cut...okay moving 
on. Uhmmmm...isn't this the thing your going to try to get into festivals?? To 
try and make money?? Aren't
the actors the thing people are going to watch to...I don't know...enjoy. All 
the time and "money" that you've put into this and one of the major 
components is given less
consideration than the tree you just spent 2 hours lighting. What's the 
saying...."To
understand a man..walk a mile in his shoes." If you've never acted..or taken 
an acting class....how in Sam hill do you expect to get the best performance 
from them. Or even recognize what your getting from them is good or not. 
And.....yeah..sorry...no
director wants to hear this.......the chances of you being the next R. 
Rodrequis or Q.
Tarantino or K. Smith...not so large. Think of all the time you spent in 
'preproduction' and compare that to time you spent with the actors....that scale 
is going to way HEAVY to one side. I'm not saying you need to go to Juliard. 
Don't you OWE it to yourself and your vision/dream film production to get the 
MOST out it. To reach it's highest potential?? As an actor. I have had to ask 
many questions from Indie directors. That the director should have directed me. 
I know of one director that went to a coach for a couple of classes prior to 
his film. I give him huge kudos. If your going to spend hours learning about 
the camera you just bought. Why wouldn't you also spend a few in acting class???

Actors..........Are you a precocious little darling?? Or a hot model type?? 
Or the typical grandparent?? If yes. That's ONLY going to get you so far. When 
you go to an audition are you JUST a good reader ?? Do you plan to go to a 
major city and 'give it a go'? Do you even have any idea what it's like in the 
major film cities?? Wouldn't it be in your best interest to be FULLY armed 
before you go?? If you and your friends and family think your a great actor. And 
you were 'born to act.' Your fooling your self. And setting your self up for 
some major disappointment if you leave Cleveland. Or for that matter go for roles 
even in Cleveland. Would you go to a doctor who was 'born to do surgery'? And 
never learned his/her craft. Of course not. That would be insanity. 
Over the past 2 years of going to an acting coach I have learned so much. I 
was going to detail what in this post. But I fear this is already very long. A 
magician doesn't give away their secrets... :) I know the areas I've grown in. 
And strengthened the ones that were natural talents. AND been given insight 
as to what goes on in the large film cities. And it's great to see fellow 
students grow.....where they might have had difficulty with..say...improve. And to 
see that person embrace it. And add that skill when doing a scene...VERY 
COOL!!!!!!!!!!! So I say to you fellow actor.......DON'T
cheat your self. Or sell your audience short. By not being the BEST you can 
be.
Education is NEVER a waste!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My coach as not only taught me 
acting. But MANY things about the profession. That is INVALUABLE!!!!! Thank you 
beeeeppp!!!!!!!

Be well,Jeffrey Cain
