Here are some of the highlights  of my interview (this is not a full transcript) The one thing I have picked up myself is that acting is a business. From Paul’s book ‘Actors often have little choice in their career,  they often have to wait at the will of others for decisions to be made that will affect their future.”   I asked Paul what the best way for actors to feel they have control of their career given we can get to the last two and then not book the role, or have long periods of not working. Paul in his very first job was told by a lovely actress Dilys Hamlet, on the first day of the rehearsal and said ‘You read that beautifully, you know that when you’re forty you will never stop’. This was when he was 21. The 19 years in between he did some good work but she was right he got into his own weight. At 40 and 50 he has seen big surges in his career. Paul  settling down in a relationship at the age of 40 and that coincided with knowing himself as a person. As a young actor he would walk into a room feeling confident but giving it ‘what would you like me to be’ However he doesn’t think that works. I think you have to go in saying ‘This is what I am, would you like it?’ He is the best Paul Clayton there is, some people may be breathing a sigh of relief that there is only one. Obviously there are some parts he would love to do but he is not right for, it is not that he isn’t good, just that he isn’t right for it. He was pencilled for a very big voice-over last week and then his agent said ‘Oh they went the other way.’ They have gone the other way because of something they heard in that other person’s voice. What wins people over is you the person, that is what we bring to acting. Some people confuse this with typecasting but what we bring is our own uniqueness and a lot of our life is about finding out who we are and when we settle into that we know what we are selling as it were. I mention how now I know I play yummy mummies very well and crazy strong women. Occasionally they merge as with the film I did with Paul where I played a coke snorting yummy mummy. The work for me has improved since I  have fallen or rather grown into these categories. A good friend said to his partner that ‘the thing about Paul is that he has made a career from being either stern or camp’. Paul  is sure he has done the two together. He always jokes he has made a career about being posh or Northern and on a really good day he plays a posh Northerner. There is truth that the more you single it down the more people know what they are looking at. He knows that when he did Peep Show 7 years ago that that just opened up a whole new area as it was brilliant writing and the audience could identify a type and then to know what to send Paul up for in casting. From that he went up for lots of dads in sitcoms and grumpy dads. It gets you through the door and that was interesting. I ask how much have you pro-actively opened doors? He had a great tutor at drama school called John McGregor and he taught the best class ‘Presentation  Technique’ but he said Every day do one thing that may result in work and then get on with being who you are, because who you are will result in you getting the work’ Paul directed a lot of rep in his 30s and thus did a lot of casting; you can see the desperation in some actors. You have the job until you open the door. and then when you step in the room, most of what you do is taking you aw[...] Actors, Auditions, Casting, Directors, Filmmakers, Inspiration, Motivation, Networking, Podcast Marysia Trembecka Actress/Blogger/Writer & Performer of her own shows no no https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/03/25/how-to-be-a-creative-rolling-stone/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/03/25/how-to-be-a-creative-rolling-stone/#comments Tue, 25 Mar 2014 12:55:17 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=2801 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/03/25/how-to-be-a-creative-rolling-stone/feed/ 1 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/03/17/dont-say-no-to-life-seasoned-advice-from-lynn-ruth-who-started-stand-up-at-71/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/03/17/dont-say-no-to-life-seasoned-advice-from-lynn-ruth-who-started-stand-up-at-71/#respond Mon, 17 Mar 2014 10:30:54 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=2772 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/03/17/dont-say-no-to-life-seasoned-advice-from-lynn-ruth-who-started-stand-up-at-71/feed/ 0 0:33:11 Marysia Trembecka with Lynn Ruth Miller podcast interview (press the arrow above to hear the audio or go to my iTunes channel.

UPDATE Lynn Ruth is doing her new show ’80’  at The Marlborough Theatre May 8,9,10 and 11 @ 6 p.m for the Brighton Fringe Festival 2014 details here Here are some of the highlights (this is not a full transcript) ‘My mantra is that I am no  different than anyone else, I just don’t say no to life. I don’t have a special talent, Any talent that I have developed. it didn’t start off as a talent, it  started out as an interest, and I just kept doing it until it became an ability’ The reason she pursued this career in cabaret and stand up comedy at 71 is because she took a class in stand up and she was cheered by the audience, she had never seen love like that in her entire life, she thought that this is the most beautiful kind of love there is, (She was 71) You don’t have to cook them dinner, you don’t have to change the sheets Lynn Ruth started doing stand up at 71 and cabaret at 73. She is now 80 years of age and last year won the TOAST (Time Out And Soho Theatre) award at Edinburgh, the prize being that a two week stint at the gorgeous cabaret lounge downstairs at the Soho Theatre, March 11th to March 22nd 2014. Details here I first met Lynn Ruth in 2007 at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival where I was doing my own cabaret/comedy show as well as hosting and producing the Midnight Carousel cabaret each night for C Venues. I would sing cabaret, chat and have six guests on a night and Lynn Ruth was my very favorite guest, she called her show then granny cabaret. I also saw her in Brighton Festival 2010 where Lynn Ruth was doing her show ‘Alzheimers, Alzheimers’ and I was with my great friend and colleague Elizabeth Mee as we were doing our show ‘Cooking And Cabaret’. She is based in San Francisco and comes every summer for the last 7 years. She also did Britain’s Got Talent, an agent found her that way. Simon Cowell’s criticism was absolutely spot on as her humour is about being old and you can predict where it is going. She picked the most predictable stuff and it is a big audience so she chose material that didnt make the audience think too much. ‘I am 80 and I am on my third car because I can’t remember where I parked the other two” Lynn Ruth was a teacher and has several degrees in teaching, she believes you can spot very creative children as they don’t really get the rules, they are not so much naughty as they don’t understand the rules. Lynn  Ruth has always seen a different answer, creative people seem to have a different version of reality. Her parents were Jewish and their goal in life was to blend in to society when they came to America. She never blended very well. Her heritage has no interest for her, she is always interested where life can take her. She has always written and when you write you redefine the world in your own terms. She started writing at six and had a poem published at nine years of age. She was always surprised when people thought her writing was special. Her creativity was always words, not science. Always through school she came up with a different conclusion, not the accepted one which was viewed as a bad thing for her family and her society. She never had a conformist mind and yet thought she was normal but then years later her sister, who was very good at confirming, called and asked her to come to a party if ‘you don’t do what you do’ Lynn Ruth didn’t know what that was. (I can relate to this!) Lynn Ruth has such freedom in her, and I love seeing that as a creative. Lynn Ruth always questions the right or wrong of art for example the role of directing. She is terrible at collaborative work but her current show is written with her pianist Robert Pettigrew as they have the same goal. She is loving having a real live pianist who follows her and makes her a better performer. Lynn Ruth believes in the importance of the arts, that that is where the t[...] Auditions, Directors, Fun, Gratitude, Inspiration, Motivation, Podcast, Writers Marysia Trembecka Actress/Blogger/Writer & Performer of her own shows no no https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/02/20/respecting-your-own-instincts-as-an-actor/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/02/20/respecting-your-own-instincts-as-an-actor/#comments Thu, 20 Feb 2014 14:01:32 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=2682 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/02/20/respecting-your-own-instincts-as-an-actor/feed/ 3 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/02/10/how-to-live-an-inspirational-life-collaborate/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/02/10/how-to-live-an-inspirational-life-collaborate/#respond Mon, 10 Feb 2014 14:00:42 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=2652 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/02/10/how-to-live-an-inspirational-life-collaborate/feed/ 0 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/02/04/why-you-must-stop-wasting-energy-on-reviews-go-write-your-next-play/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/02/04/why-you-must-stop-wasting-energy-on-reviews-go-write-your-next-play/#respond Tue, 04 Feb 2014 14:00:07 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=2616 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/02/04/why-you-must-stop-wasting-energy-on-reviews-go-write-your-next-play/feed/ 0 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/01/21/why-acting-in-short-films-is-useful/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/01/21/why-acting-in-short-films-is-useful/#respond Tue, 21 Jan 2014 14:18:08 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=2561 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/01/21/why-acting-in-short-films-is-useful/feed/ 0 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/12/18/the-space-between-where-you-want-to-go-where-you-are-now-bridge-it-through-action/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/12/18/the-space-between-where-you-want-to-go-where-you-are-now-bridge-it-through-action/#respond Wed, 18 Dec 2013 18:19:37 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=2380 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/12/18/the-space-between-where-you-want-to-go-where-you-are-now-bridge-it-through-action/feed/ 0 0:34:53 Marysia with Ryan James Lock Coaching Audio Session 0010 ‘See the space between where you want to go and where you are now.  The distance between there and here is through action.

Your action that you chose to take. .’  In this 10th coaching session podcast Ryan continues to coach me on how to market myself and my work, achieving my big goals, looking at my mindset and tackle my limiting beliefs and overcome procrastination. Ryan coached me over coffee in London a few weeks ago and by the end of the second coffee I had decided to do my first online workshop and webinar and write an ebook!  My first webinar was ‘5 ways to blast through creative blocks and get your project done” You can listen to the replay and this week’s free workshop here This podcast covered Moving forward and making big drastic steps, really stepping up. Most people know what they need to step up to the next level but there are often mental blocks to the doing. You know what to do but you are not doing it. ‘The strategies you have used to get you to where you are now, are not the same strategies that you need to take you to the next level.’ I did my normal last minute.com chaos to do my book and webinar recently.  ‘Little and often’ does not really work unless I have had to implement it eg voice and singing practice every day. My ebook and webinar I kept putting off actually doing until the deadline got too near to ignore. Four days from the deadline I had to work out the technology of a webinar or a ebook shop plus assemble the ebook and write the webinar. In my setting a date then I again HAVE to produce so I was up til 3 am most mornings and go to that uber focused place. Ryan says you must congratulate yourself in getting on and stepping up to the next stage of your life. Ryan’s procrastination list exercise Write out a list of everything you are putting off doing that you know you should be. Where are you playing too small? What steps could you take for your business or creativity? Then write against each one a step you can take. In writing my ebook  I then knew I wanted a dip in/dip out book rather than a progression from start to finish. It was only on starting to compile this I realised that was what this book needed. ‘The worse thing you can do is nothing’ I am struggling though with doing my showreel, editing it and getting it out there. As actors or creatives we are always waiting for clips or production stills to then send out. We have to collate pieces of showreel for work and yet I have been refusing to watch myself. How else can people know I can act on screen if they can’t see my work? I need showreel to move forward to do film and TV work. I really focused on getting the webinar and ebook out the door last week and not on the actual marketing of myself. Do you have a portfolio of work that you are happy to show people? I also have not been marketing my Londontown, track you hear at the beginning and end of the podcasts. The universe is reflecting back my hesitation. The universe seems to have stopped just as I have stopped myself from moving forward by refusing to do the work I need to do next; producing and putting my showreel and also getting my Londontown single out there. I am refusing to watch myself on screen, then put in an edit and let the world see it, what happens if the world thinks I am a bad actress? If the work is not out there the world can’t think I am bad or it is terrible. If I don’t do that then noone can see me and judge it. Ryan says ‘If you don’t move forward nothing can.’ Ryan says that I have raised the bar for myself, the space between where you are and where you could be, that space manifests itself as anxiety, worry, hesitation. Ryan encourages me to look at the fact I have done well. Look at where I am now and how I have moved forward. I am more self aware and developed a progressive mentality.
