"...invaluable to the beginner and the veteran..."

Justin Meloni (actor, producer: Cold Case, CSI:NY, The Office): David and Patrick give a both informative and enjoyable take on the craft of acting for the camera. This information is invaluable to the beginner and the veteran actor.

"...amazing...Patrick Tucker delivers the goods..."

Bob Fraser (actor, writer, show runner: Benson, The Love Boat, Full House, Marblehead Manor, You Must Act!): When it comes to success as an actor in film and television, one of the most overlooked skills is the ability to 'work' for the camera. In this amazing podcast series Patrick Tucker delivers the goods. Each episode focuses on 'must have' technical insights - which are at the core of all screen acting success. I recommend this program to every actor - without reservation."

"...helps actors...into the place of ultimate professionalism..."

Kate Rene Gleason (actor, writer, voice talent: Criminal Minds, 24): Talk about finding a way to stand out from the crowd! This is exactly the sort information that helps actors go the extra mile beyond their acting talents and into the place of ultimate professionalism where directors & the crew will want to work with them again and again and again because we know how to keep from making their job more difficult. It's also great to have some insider tricks to keep off the cutting room floor - or at least make it less likely. These accoutrements to the already-trained actor are especially helpful for that transition from stage to screen acting.

The note about how to put your props & ideas to work toward camera is a gem i've never heard before. What an excellent tool to assist the actor in using the camera to her advantage and hitting her camera & lighting marks for the editor's ease.

"...total knowledge for the working actor..."

Diamond Dallas Page (actor, writer: The Devil's Rejects, Jack's Law, Splinter, Driftwood): "Learning is knowledge and knowledge is the power to create one's own destiny"... Listening to David Lawrence interview the renowned BBC director Patrick Tucker is just that: Total Knowledge for the working actor... I am constantly wanting to learn to better my craft, and the Secrets of Screen Acting podcast delivers. Thanks, bro!

"...I wish I’d found someone long ago like Patrick..."

Fleur Phillips (actor, singer, choreographer: The Fantasticks, Bukowsical!, Strong Medicine, Late Night with Conan O'Brien): Thanks so much for introducing me to Patrick Tucker and the poscasts. Even though I’ve been acting for about 20 years now I can already say that I wish I’d found someone long ago like Patrick to teach me the technicalities that come up on the set. After listening to 3 short podcasts I’ve already learned new things even though I already have film and TV experience. This is a great listen for actors at any point in their career. I look forward to listening to the show!

"...the advice on how to handle 'no?' Beautiful..."

Marita Schaub (actor, model, synchronized swimmer: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Jackass 2, Barhopper): Everything Patrick said is true. I have booked many shampoo and cosmetic commercials, and distance was crucial. Even when I do dialogue, I've had the camera so close that if I moved my head one inch I would hit the lens. And Patrick's advice on how to handle "no?" Beautiful. And like Patrick says, an inexperienced actor may arrive to work and freak out when they find out that not every actor sorks like they do! You gotta practice what he is saying. Nice interesting interviews. It can really help people in the business at all levels.

"...a million dollars worth of advice was never more affordable..."

Bob Pondillo (actor, director, professor: My Name Is Wallace, Would You Cry If I Died, The American Comedy Network): As an educator, I know how important it is to make genuine connections with students. Only at THAT moment is there real learning -- true 'ah-ha!' moments. Patrick Tucker's ability to make a consistent connection with his students is extraordinary. Here's a man who deeply knows his craft and humbly gives any actor -- newcomer or seasoned pro -- essential insights to screen acting in a clear, accepting and non-threatening way. Come learn at the feet of this gentle master. I highly and without reservation recommend this podcast series to you. A million dollars worth of advice was never more affordable!

"...one juicy tidbit after another..."

Christina Byron (actor, singer, dancer: Bukowsical!): I loved everything I heard. He's very charming. Even in those three brief podcasts, he gave so much to think about. The packaging works really well too. Since it seems that every podcast has only one or two tips, you won't get overwhelmed and forgot them. You can take one juicy tidbit after another and practice them until they become second nature. He's specific and easy-to-understand, as well. I can understand why it's filling up so fast.

"...the perfect way to get this stuff - in bite-sized chunks..."

Andrew Tarr (actor, writer, presenter: The Latest At, The Home Shopping Petwork): Wow - this is totally invaluable stuff! So many acting teachers give esoteric "techniques" and methods that really only help you inside an acting class. Patrick Tucker, on the other hand, gives actual easy-to-use little secrets that aren't hard to implement into my work (and my on-camera audtions.) I haven't read his book yet, but for me, these podcasts are the perfect way to get this stuff - in bite-sized chunks. Just using these first few little secrets will probably help me book more work, too.

"...the podcast is perfect for drilling into my ADD brain..."

Debra Leigh (actor, voice talent: NBC, CNET, Acura, Comcast): Wow. Only five minutes out of my busy day, but after each podcast I feel as if I've just spent an evening in a master film-acting course. So many vital points that had never even occurred to me as a beginning screen actor - presented succinctly yet colorfully here. Armed with this level of insight and putting it into practice, I'll be able to walk into auditions and on set behaving more like the kind of seasoned professional the tv / film industry demands for a successful acting career. This is awesome. Thanks for making this caliber of screen technique available in such a time-friendly format!

I absolutely must have the book now, so I'm off to the web site to order it, but the podcast will be perfect for drilling these points into my ADD brain through listening over and over again while at the gym every day or driving. Thanks for including me, David! This guy is brilliant - and you guys sound great together. Bravo!

"...counter-intuitive...great..."

Eric Filipkowski (commercial actor, writer, improv player: IO West, Upright Citizens Brigade): I listened to the "talking fast and moving slow" episode. This is the kind of information, that's sometimes completely counter-intuitive, that nobody would ever tell you about on a set, but you would be expected to know, nonetheless. It's great.
