Acting Styles

Film - By far the easiest. You have endless takes to get it right. They’re spending tens of millions, and they want it right. Generally everything you need is provided for. Everyone kisses your ass on a film set. The reason is because if you’re out, so are they. The hardest part is dealing with the self important nature of the whole thing.

TV - Is not very satisfying. Chances are the show you are on sucks, and it gets to be boring after a while playing the same idiotic character week after miserable week. It’s steady work, but there’s a price: you will either be cancelled after a few weeks, or you will be playing the same crap character for five years– time enough for the producers to make 100 shows– the number needed to syndicate the show. You will then be forced to watch yourself in that crap role for eternity.

Theater - The real deal when it comes to acting. No room for mistakes and you have to somehow make each performance fresh. Not much room for improvising. No dough at all in the theater. That is unless you do some horrible one-man show.

Commercials - They train animals and models to be in commercials. Requires no talent at all. The pay is awesome, though, for usually one day of work. By far the most satisfying type of acting, for exactly this reason.
