YouTube Taught Me How to Act!

Yep, that’s right, YouTube taught me how to act! Well, not really! I have learned to act, and about the business of acting primarily by DOING since 2000. Of course, I have studied, taken classes, read books, watched videos on You Tube, experienced life, etc., but most of my skills, and the development of my talent has come from rehearsing and performing (you can peek at my resume here to see what I have been up to), but an aspiring – or seasoned! – actor can learn a lot from the ol’ Interwebs!

This post will quickly introduce you to the wonderful world of YouTube learning via excellent videos for actors! Videos are all linked below. I hope you enjoy!
