“ Try not to think of anything beyond the first moment” I have been applying this piece of advice on set this week. When I try not to think beyond the first moment, the work flows beautifully. I feel fully invested, committed and it allows me to explore more. And I love what she says about truly understanding the words and opening up a dictionary. Learning from seasoned actors like Cate Blanchett is truly inspiring. 🙌🏻❤️ Have a great week folks Sonya x
In Birdman, Emma Stone played the role of Sam Thomson, a complex and troubled young woman with emotional depth. She killed it in this role, I remember being blown away in the theater. Keaton too is phenomenal! Seeing the screenplay side by side makes you see how great the acting is. The film, directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu, explored the blurred lines between reality and illusion in the world of show business. Stone’s performance earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress, showcasing her ability to navigate the intricate layers of a character dealing with issues of identity and family dynamics. A Cool movie to watch, a masterclass In acting! If you haven’t seen it, out it on your list! Have a great week folks! Sonya x

I love the articulation of this perspective especially in a world where so many studios are selling “ their method”. Take the things that work for you and do you. “ Part of your job is to make the appropriate process for the appropriate role” So clear and so true, every role you prepare different to access the character. This is a genius insight. Dafoe is one of the all time greats IMO, always evolving. If you watch him talking about his / the process, you’ll find that he is one of the most enlightening and compelling actors to listen to. Happy Friday all. X Sonya

This is extraordinary! A fully realized world with no audience, staging, crew, lighting, boom mic, fake set, etc. Have you seen this powerful, thought provoking movie? Christian Friedel & Sandra Huller’s performances are insanely powerful and brilliant!
Happy International Women’s Day to all the females that show us that we are worth and deserve it all. ❤️

Who will get the Oscar this year? I just watched ‘Anatomy Of A Fall’ and I have to say Sandra Hullerr’s performance is mind-blowing. The scene alone is so raw and so real. It’s captivating. The script is excellent. The way the story unfolds too is phenomenal. The dialogue is honest and the timing is immaculate. Probably one of my favorite movies besides ‘The Holdovers’. If you haven’t watched it put it on your list!
Have you seen this?! Wow! Read this commentary. “When Leonardo DiCaprio smashes his hand on the dinner table in Django Unchained, he accidentally crushed a small glass with his palm and really began to bleed. He ignored it, stayed in character, and continued with the scene. Quentin Tarantino was so impressed that he used this take in the final print, and when he called cut, the room erupted in a standing ovation. DiCaprio’s hand was bandaged, and he suggested the idea of smearing blood onto the face of Kerry Washington. Tarantino and Washington both liked this, so Tarantino got some fake blood together” Do you think you would have done the same? Imagine being so alive & present doing what you love AND getting injured, feeling the pain from this kind of injury? Leave your comment or share your story if you have a similar one below to win a free observational ticket to your preferred CAS Masterclass. Sonya x

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN THE WORLD OF TV SERIES LIKE LAW & ORDER, SUV, NCIS? Then don’t miss this exciting opportunity to work with Lisa Zambetti who has cast tons of Episodics! Lisa had her first workshop with CAS in December and I have to say, the feedback was phenomenal! She dedicated her time at the beginning of the workshop to chat to all the participants, to see where they are in their career, as well as reading with each one, giving adjustments and comments. Then we had a wonderful Q&A with her. To those of you who did not have the chance to attend this exciting opportunity to work with Lisa Zambetti, now’s your time. “I can honestly say that Lisa’s class was one of the the best CD workshops i’ve attended in a long time! The scenes were meaty, the work was lovely. Lisa’s redirects and isights were constructive, incisive, honest, and on- piont without being cruel and without false praise! She was a breath of fresh air!“ -Suzanne H Smart In this Masterclass Lisa will assign a great guest star level scene for you prior to the class and she will read with you on the day with a redirect. For more info check out Linktree in our bio. X
The actor can only prepare for the opportunity to impress the CD & Director without letting that desperation show, and without overacting when your chance comes. Good directors can sense the desperate actors and will hopefully lean towards the more balanced and prepared auditioner. Thinking of our character and scene partner really helps with the nerves so we’re less focused on ourselves. And her comment at the end is so true and funny! However putting in the work and just knowing that they are lucky to have you AND that this is your time to act which will hopefully make it seem less stressful and desperate. I hope this helps! Sonya x
There is nothing worse for an actor than being told that you are “ Acting”. It hurts your confidence, your ego, and makes you doubt yourself. We have all been there! When approaching a character, we break it down - their objectives, motives, goals, what they want from people. Strive to be an authentic actor, and I believe Vulnerability is key! Vulnerability requires us to be present, open, to listen, connect and be natural. We must trust and focus on the process. Trust that we are already enough as we are. We just have to let the audience in. Any thoughts on this post? Sonya x

Casting Directors start watching auditions as soon they start getting uploaded. From those, they start selecting their callback options IMMEDIATELY. By the time the self tape deadline approaches, it is highly likely that casting has already secured enough callback options to move to the next round. Casting directors purposely send out more self tape auditions than they need knowing they can simply review the submissions until they get what they need. Don’t let your self tape go unwatched! Being asked to submit a self tape is not a guarantee that the casting directors office will see you if you wait until the latest moment to submit!!! Be ahead of others, get your audition in as early as you can. 👊🏽 Happy 1st Of February Sonya x
Cillian Murphy really did beyond a fantastic job in this movie, I really forgot it was him. It’s such a nuanced role that takes you on quite the journey. What I find amazing is that I never see any of Cillian Murphy himself in any of his characters. He truly inhabits and brings alive each one in different ways. What an exceptionally talented and humble actor. He flawlessly embodies any role he’s tasked with and certainly deserves an Oscar. I really hope he wins it! Who are you rooting for ? • 🎥: Oppenheimer (2023) •
