I have been working with Shae since August
Within this short span of time, she has opened up my mind to endless possibilities and has slowly been breaking down this wall that I have had built up. She has taught me to enjoy the process; which I am still working on , she has pushed me beyond what I thought I could go.
I am surrounded by AMAZING talent in class. Everyone is so kind, humble, and hungry for this crazy life of Acting. Without even noticing it, it pushes you to become even better and more hungry!
Since working with Shae, I have had auditions for two plays at Public Theatre.
I landed a principal role in an independent film; Horrortime, executive produced by James Franco.
I landed principal roles in two other independent films; High School Lover and The Pretenders, both Directed by James Franco.
A principal role in another independent film; According To Plan, funded by WTC/ Port Authority/ IMG Worldwide
Those above have just wrapped
I booked a principal role in another independent film; What remains in Flight? that wraps in December
Also another principal role for an independent film that begins shooting March 2017.
I am sharing the fact that I walked into Shae's class ready to quit acting because it was getting harder for me to connect to characters, I did not have any real training and I was excited to submit for the jobs, but dreaded auditions and bombed when I got in front of the camera. I picked up bad habits during my two years of acting. Yet, Shae has given me a work ethic, she has opened my imagination, made acting FUN!
What is my overall purpose? Why do I act?
I do not want to be famous. I just want to create amazing work, do this full-time, and make sure my people of the next generation know that there is more to life than becoming a Basketball Player, Rapper, Singer etc... I want to break the stereotypical mold of what is shown on TV, in theatre, commercials etc. I want to do what I love until I cant do it anymore...
If you haven't experienced Shae at Humanity Studios! YOU SHOULD!.. SHE WILL CHANGE YOUR ENTIRE LIFE!!.. Promise that! read more
