From Jack Plotnick
Hey all. Jack is an actor and he teaches a really interesting audition class. He also has a free acting book online at Jackplotnick.com
This is a tidbit from an email he recently sent out. I'm not sure I agree with him 100 percent, but he makes some good points:
Never forget that the best thing you can do for your career is not to STUDY. It's to ACT! Be obsessed with it. Do it all the time in whatever form brings you the most joy (put up a play, write a one man show, make videos for YouTube or FunnyOrDie, start a sketch group, etc. etc. etc.)
What you do, brings more of it into your life. Studying creates more studying. ACTING creates more acting! You don't need to ask for permission to do what you love. Just do it! : )
All the best!
Jack
p.s. And if you are looking for an ongoing acting class, I always say that if a teacher doesn't impress upon you that ACTING IS EASIER AND MORE FUN THAN YOU EVER IMAGINED...then I would STAY AWAY from that class! : )

Best Solo Show Class Ever!
My friend Peter Michael teaches an awesome class at the People's Improv Theater. He directed my solo show Head Games. Here is the info from Peter himself:
Just wanted to remind y'all that my award-winning FLYING SOLO classes
at the PIT are starting up again in April and are still open for
registration and filling up fast. I'm offering Levels 1 & 2 once
again, and I wanted you to know about them, and ask you to help spread
the word to your intrepid performer pals who are looking to develop
any type of solo material or show.
Here is the link to info about both classes: http://www.yesand.thepit-nyc.com/classes#FlyingSolo1
Thanks so much. Please feel free to share. Anyone with any questions
can give me a jingle at 917-825-3549
