I had the pleasure of chatting with the wonderful Patricia Jones about her journey as an actor and author.
Lockdown was different for everyone and what people did with their time varied. Patricia kept herself busy and wrote a book based on things she noticed and heard during lockdown when she attended a number of online sessions. Actors new to the industry always had the same set of questions and obstacles often based on their ability to pay for training, headshots etc. With this in mind Patricia put together a resource book filled with information about where to train without attending an expensive drama school or moving to London, how to get the best out of your showreel and headshots and much more. There are listings of photographers, training schools and showreel companies. Patricia also added sections on agents and the casting process so it covers pretty much all bases for the new actor.
The book was originally aimed at working class actors and those from low income backgrounds but as she discovered during the year since writing it, there is a much greater need than first anticipated. To this end she has updated and revised the book and renamed it 'Becoming an Actor Without The Drama'. The focus remains the same but is now more inclusive for all new actors and graduates. All prices and course details are updated too.
A link to where you can purchase the book or how you can get in contact with Patricia are below.
