A few weeks back, a Cinema Static reader left a question in one of my casting call articles asking how someone can become an actor. In other words, what does it take, what does one have to focus on and other such details. I wanted to be able to give an answer to my reader’s question.
I reached out to Wendy Shepherd from Studio Matrix asking for any advice that any of her associates might have. Two folks offered up suggestions based on their experiences in the industry. These insights were provided by actress/producer and casting director Amie Barsky & actor/producer Paul J. Alessi.
Amie Barski’s career, in IMDb, has her earliest credit in the year 2000 with The Lyricist Lounge Show. Since then, she’s either been in, produced or co-produced 15 different film and/or video titles.
She’s attended the University of the Arts and has trained at Howard Fine Acting Studio, Groundlings, Cameron Thor Studios & Improv Olympic.
Her work history includes voice Over, film, music video, theater, commercial & television work.
