Preparing for your first day as a Day Player

Being cast as a Day Player can be one of the most demanding experiences in an actor's career.

You may have very little information about the character, little or no rehearsal time, and no opportunity to learn how the set operates before you arrive.

This is not an acting class.

It is a practical conversation about what actually happens on a professional film or television set
— and how to deal with it.

Drawing on more than 50 years as an actor and hundreds of film and television performances,
I can help you prepare for your particular situation.

What can we talk about?

Perhaps you've just been cast and want to know what happens next.

Perhaps you're about to arrive on a professional set for the first time.

Perhaps you're worried about
working with the director,
finding your mark,
dealing with wardrobe and makeup,
or simply understanding the hierarchy of a film set.

We can talk about:

What happens when you get cast
Preparing from the self-tape to the set
Creating a backstory when you have little information
Working with the director
Performing under pressure
What the camera and the editor see
Reactions and continuity
The practical realities of working on set.
