Don't Think, Act!
Hosted by Ed Ismail · arts · EN
About this Podcast:
Don’t Think, Act! is a podcast for actors by actors where they can have free exposure talking about their craft, inspirations and acting goals! Let's get the business to know you better. Inspired by Inside The Actor's Studio & Actors on Actors I’m keen to create a resource for performers of all levels, to learn from actors of all levels. The business changes all the time and I think it would be great to have peers talking about their feelings; methods; offer inspiration on coping in a competitive field, and how they prepare for their craft. I’m fascinated as to why we do what we do, and how we can help each other on our journeys. I also love a cringe worthy audition story! If you're an actor, and love talking creativity, I’d be honoured to have you take part: Contact dontthinkactpodcast@gmail.com with a little about you and your acting profiles/links. <p style='color:grey; font-size:0.
