Ignoring the pandemic, do colleges in Georgia have a strong presence for student films? Or even a large system for theater? Basically the motive behind the question is, is it a place budding with opportunities for a novice actor in college to get his feet wet and build a reel. And if not Georgia, what other lesser know…

I hear this advice a lot as an actor. "Don't wait for opportunities, make your own films." That's all well and good, but making movies is a full time job. That's not to say I haven't made short films starring myself. But if you want festival-run quality short films, that's going take dedication, money, and a lot of tim…

For those wanting to learn (or improve on) the craft of voice acting, I suggest going over to YouTube and watching some of Critical Role.
