Time is such a strange concept. Every week, when Friday comes around I find myself asking ‘how is it the weekend again?’ And the previous week just fades into the past. But today on my 1 Year Anniversary at SINE Digital, I find it crazy to think where the last year has gone. I feel like I blinked and I’m already a year in to my job with so much more to come, I feel like I’m only just getting started. So here’s 10 things I’ve learnt this past year! 1.⁠ ⁠If you don’t feel like you’re in an environment where you can thrive, you can literally just leave and start again because life is too short to be in a place you don’t feel like you belong. Something I did right before moving to SINE. 2.⁠ ⁠You are your greatest achievement. You should be proud of how far you’ve come compared to the person you were 365 days ago. 3.⁠ ⁠Comparison is the thief of joy. The only person you should compare yourself to is yesterday’s version of yourself. 4.⁠ ⁠Blank Street Coffee is way too expensive to have one everyday. 5.⁠ ⁠You will do your best work when surrounded by likeminded people who aren’t afraid to challenge your ways of thinking to make you better. 6.⁠ ⁠I clearly can’t work without Daniel Swift in the same office. 7.⁠ ⁠If you love what you do, work will only ever sometimes feel like work. Being able to work in the theatre industry is something I have always aspired to do and having the ability to be a voice in meetings with West End and Broadway Producers is something that I would never have imagined before the age of 25, yet here we are! 8.⁠ ⁠It’s important to have things to do outside your 9-5. In the last year, I’ve picked up running with my first 10K event next weekend, joined a local theatre group and seen 30 shows in the West End (because working in theatre advertising just wasn’t quite enough). You need things to break up the monotony of the daily commute and busy working life and these are what make you the person who you are. 9.⁠ ⁠Take every opportunity that is presented to you and absolutely run with it. 10.⁠ ⁠Just be yourself and people will love and respect you so much more than trying to be something or someone that you’re not. As I head into my second year at SINE, I want to thank everyone who has supported me on this crazy journey so far. I can’t wait to see what this year has in store as I continue my journey working with an amazing team on New York & Broadway projects as part of a growing US Team 🇺🇸🥳🙏🏼

Behind the curtain lies the heart of a theater or stage performance venue - the backstage area. This is where the unseen magic of the performance comes together through preparation and coordination. 🔍 Dressing Rooms: Areas where actors prepare, dress in costumes, and await their entrances onto the stage. 📦 Storage Areas: Spaces where stage props, costumes, and other equipment are stored and maintained. 💄 Makeup Rooms:  Places where actors apply makeup suitable for their characters and get ready in their costumes. 💤 Rest and Preparation Areas:  Spaces where actors can rest during performance breaks and prepare before going on stage. 📋 Management Spaces:  Areas where the production team holds meetings, manages stage operations, and plans the organization. These backstage areas highlight the exciting aspects of stage arts while emphasizing the importance of teamwork and success. The effort and coordination behind stage arts are truly captivating! ✨🎭 #BehindTheScenes #Theater #StageArts

Life is funny. Recently, I've been relishing in the joy of spending time with my son Manny, as we both take part in this upcoming theatre production of NEWSIEs, offered by Shine On Performing Arts (SOPA). But an interesting thing happened along the way - I was reminded of a powerful lesson in leadership and inclusivity. We are fortunate to be part of SOPA, a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering a love for musical theatre in individuals of all ages and abilities. SOPA stands out not only for its captivating performances but also for its inclusive approach, offering opportunities for everyone, regardless of age or experience, to participate in all aspects of production, whether onstage or off. As we work together on this production, I’m reminded of the transformative impact that embracing different perspectives and working towards a common goal, augmented by great leadership can have. Each cast member, set designer, choreographer, prop maker, costume designer, tech crew member brings their unique talents to the production. We all receive “notes” from our director to improve and we all provide feedback on our view for the scene. Problems are solved collaboratively and quickly because no matter the hurdle – the show must go on. It works because we are all focused on the common goal and our director owns the vision, treats everyone with respect, and is decisive. This lesson holds true not only in the realm of community theatre but also in the workplace. By capturing your team’s mindshare to focus on the common goal, and fostering an environment of inclusivity and collaboration, great leaders harness the full potential of their workforce, drive innovation, and achieve success. In the same way that the Newsies unite behind Jack against adversity, and SOPA brings together a broad crew to put on a great show, teams in the workplace can overcome challenges and achieve extraordinary results when they rally behind their leader and work together towards a shared vision. No matter the challenge, great leadership and the principles of diversity and collaboration serve as guiding lights, that shine on the path to greatness. And if you’re in Austin and wish to catch a great show, come on by! https://lnkd.in/gacSEV4j #leadership #musical_theatre #life_balance #family_time

#ThrowbackThursday to the last time I acted on stage ❤. Playing a Texan gal in a two-hander play, onstage constantly from curtain up to curtain down 🤪. I always felt extremely comfortable onstage, like anything could happen and I could handle it. Of course, there were nerves before I went on, but when the lights went down and the audience hushed, I was relaxed and in control. I was always fascinated by the split focus of the actor's brain 😵. You're in character, you really are. You're experiencing and feeling the action of the play in character. But there's another part of the brain that's still you, managing the theatrical practicalities. Where you need to stand, what props you need and dealing with any issues that arise. I've dealt with all sorts. Actors not being on stage, all the furniture missing, actors forgetting their lines, me forgetting my lines, costume malfunctions, being naked . . . er, what? Yep, none of it bothered me 😁. Walking into a theatre still gives me goosebumps. It's like a hallowed place where magic happens 🤩. I'm a full-time voice actor now and I get MUCH more work, so it suits me a lot better. I'm partial to eating now and then, you know 😅. But, I'll always miss the thrill of the stage ❤ How about you? Have you ever been on stage? Did you love it? 🤔 #voiceactor #actor #voiceover #theatre #drama #audiodrama -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Need a voiceover who can act for your next project? 😊 🎤 DM me 🎤 Follow the link to my website in the comments 👇.

IMPORTANCE OF CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT IN ACTING:- We humans, all of us are Actors and tend to act differently in different spaces and scenarios. Our role and behavior changes with our interaction with different people, based on situation, place and objective. For example, when a man teaches in a school, he plays the role of a teacher and after working the whole day and the same tired man returns home to his children, he becomes a father. For an Actor understanding the dynamics of a character is very important and plays a crucial role in Character Development. It comes with focus, discipline and dedication towards learning and of course a lot of creativity. ‘Observation’ is the key to beginning the journey of a Character Development for better understanding of how humans behave, react and transform themselves in different circumstances of life. It also motivates to empathize with people from diverse backgrounds and also understand their emotional and physical capabilities with their gestures and facial expression, posture and many more other aspects. #Acting #CharacterDevelopment #Observation #nuances #ActorLife #Theatre #ActorsStudio #MethodActing #PerformanceArt #Drama #CharacterAnalysis #ActingTips #OnStage #FilmIndustry #Casting #Auditions #Storytelling #ScriptAnalysis #StageCraft #ActorsJourney #ActingSkills #TheatreCommunity #CastingCall #ActingCareer #ActorResource #CharacterCreation #TheatrePerformance
