My name is Anne Woods, I am an actor, and I am in action. With this blog, my aim is to collaborate with other actors and industry professionals, and assist in activating our careers in fresh, growth-inducing, goal oriented ways. My goal here is to share my experiences in the field, and learn about yours. I want to discuss what has worked, and what hasn’t, for scenes and characters in class and auditions. I want to discuss what has and hasn’t worked in our career moves, and in turn, what we can do differently to make our careers what we want them to be. I will also be posting what I find inspiring: be it an insightful book, a play or film that soared, quotes, photos from working on set, and different days on my journey. I want you to feel free to post what inspires you too!

I don’t call myself an expert by any means, I am always learning, but I know that the experiences I have thus far as an actor are valuable. They are the building blocks upon which my career is growing.

I want my blog to be a place where giving feedback is very encouraged and happily accepted :) I will also be sharing resources I use to work on my career, and I would love to hear what you use as well. I want to collaborate as artists, and further develop a strong community. Let’s learn from each other, and keep each other accountable, one piece at a time.

We all take one step at a time. Sometimes it’s a leap, maybe it’s a shuffle or a skip, but it’s always one at a time. Let’s support each other in reaching that next level :)
