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/2014/03/11/youve-got-to-win-youve-got-to-risk-everything/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/03/11/youve-got-to-win-youve-got-to-risk-everything/#respond Tue, 11 Mar 2014 16:05:18 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=2765 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/03/11/youve-got-to-win-youve-got-to-risk-everything/feed/ 0 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/2014/01/21/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/2013/12/10/david-monteith-a-bad-day-acting-is-better-than-a-good-day-doing-anything-else/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/12/10/david-monteith-a-bad-day-acting-is-better-than-a-good-day-doing-anything-else/#respond Tue, 10 Dec 2013 14:00:03 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=2149 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/12/10/david-monteith-a-bad-day-acting-is-better-than-a-good-day-doing-anything-else/feed/ 0 0:32:38 Podcast 30:David Monteith, award winning podcaster, actor, director and tutor.

I did a class with David years ago on podcasting and also used to be in a singing class with his now wife Siobhan. David is an award winning podcaster ‘Geek Syndicate’ who also acts, directs and teaches. He has just been an understudy in the West End play ‘Fences’ and directed Monteverdi Orfeo for Isleworth Baroque to great acclaim (‘best production they’ve done in 10 years’ was his favourite review).. He was on the committee for the British Comic Awards (as in comic books) and hosted the award ceremony. He also interviewed the ex Dr’s Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy and Peter Davison and current writer/producer Steven Moffat at the Dr Who 50th celebration last weekend. ‘Best way to network is to be really good and be really easy to work with’. ‘If you make space and open it up to the universe, then take that step of faith, If you don’t make the space, what is going to come along to fill it as it is already filled with whatever nonsense is there to buy food.’ Before we get into our conversation I am doing a free workshop on ‘Five Ways To Blast Through Creative Blocks And Get Your Project Done’ this Thursday, details here. David started podcasting 8 years  ago, him and his friend recorded the first one whilst drunk on very expensive whiskey, within 3 to 4 years they has 2000 downloads a week. It has taken him places he would have never have been otherwise. There is a podcast network of ten to eleven under the umbrella of Geek Syndicate, back in the early days first people would ask about the name and then they would ask ‘what is a podcast?’, that was where they were when it started, noone then knew. They got nominated many times for the podcast awards but kept being competed against a Harry Potter podcast. They did win eventually in a different category David has been understudying in Fences, a West End play which Lenny Henry stars. He teaches twitter, podcast and acting classes of various levels.. He was in Jamaica for a year in 1999 and was thinking he wanted to be an actor. He returned to London and was drinking with a friend in Soho, saying ‘I want to act but I think I’ve left it too late’ This drunk guy who was standing next to them went ‘F*** Off, I am 40 years old and I am doing a part time acting evening course at the City Lit’, so David went off to that and now he teaches that very course 13 years later. 5 years later after the evening class he left to act, ‘the scariest thing I had ever done, I had a job and no idea what would happen after’ ‘Stuff is waiting to happen but you can’t see it if you are too busy getting in with normal life,’ I said as as an actor you can create drama in life as opposed to be on stage, be unnecessarily dramatic in relationships, when you clear the rubbish out, then drama gets back to where it belongs on the stage. David thinks he is there again, he is teaching so much that he needs to make space for his acting again. ‘Feed yourself as well as others.’ Siobhan, his wife is a fantastic classical singer so she and a friend asked David to oversee/direct a project. He was very ignorant on the world of opera and he thought they were all fuddy duddies but realised he was wrong having met Siobhan. They asked him to direct them and he wasn’t sure he liked opera anyway. However they asked ‘can you bring a sense of theatre to it?’, and off they went. He now teaches bringing a sense of acting to the performance, He often finds people are singing words they do not understand without any idea of what they mean. If you ask a writer for advice ‘just write something, the act of writing invokes something else, and gives ideas. Sometimes you just have to do stuff’ I talk about my jazz album from years ago and now one of the songs Londontown has a dance remix, and we are planning to release a dance single.

This is some clips and conversation from an event I was involved in last night for Shakespeare’s Birthday, World Book Night and Brent Libraries drive to celebrate art, literature and music in their local community. So a big shout out to Brent Libraries for this at a time where some many councils are cutting the arts There were free books given out and a book reading from Imogen Robertson from her new novel ‘The Paris Winter” as well as her talking through her writing life from autumns’ spent in the British Library researching to then the first draft and Page 70 ‘hell’ where she always feels lost. She says she was listening to Ian Rankin talk about the difficult bit in his book writing and it always comes at 30% of the way in. Imogen looked up to see her husband pointing at her ‘Thats where you always find it difficult’ As a 5 times book published author she said she found it comforting that other authors go through the same issues.   Coffee and organic ginger and chocolate cake was provided by Dylans Delights (yum).
