The Actor’s Space Ep 6: Let’s Talk about Money
2023/05/19
The Actor’s Space is a podcast hosted by Laura Kee, a freelance actor in Singapore. Through conversations with fellow actors, and industry colleagues, we will be talking about the working actor’s life in Singapore – how do we pursue our love for acting, while navigating the business side of the craft? Let’s create more conversations about the challenges of building a sustainable acting career in Singapore.   GUEST Edward is a Master's graduate from the National University of Singapore's (NUS) Theatre Studies Programme with 22 years of experience as an actor. He works as an Actor, Host, Model, Voice-Over Artist, and Corporate Trainer for MNCs and foreign governments. He also conducts financial literacy classes for freelancers and graduating students, and wrote and hosted a finance series called #Adulting on Yahoo TV.    KEY TAKEAWAYS  • Savings = Income – Expenses. To save more, raise your income or lower your expenses! • Invest, or put your money in fixed deposits. Do not leave your money to rot in the bank.  • Hide money from yourself so you are not tempted to spend it! • Negotiate your fees & loading. Your skills as an Actor are unique and valuable. • Before you even start investing, make sure you have adequate insurance coverage.   QUOTABLE QUOTES  ‘We are creatives, we are artists, we offer something that the average person on the street cannot so know your value. … Because otherwise, you're going to show up to work with this niggling feeling in the back of your head that you're being underpaid. And that's going to affect your work.’ – Edward  ‘The opportunity costs of leaving your money in the bank is spectacular. … Either you invest for yourself, or you put it into CPF. Otherwise, you're leaving it in the bank to rot.’ – Edward  ‘Companies will always lowball you. The first offer you get is always the lowest that they are willing to offer you. So always negotiate, no matter what.’ – Edward   Connect with Laura Website: www.laurakee.sg IG: instagram.com/LauraKeeLT TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@laurakeelt   Connect with Edward IG: instagram.com/ChoyEdward   Connect with us!

The Actor’s Space Ep 5: Actor Training – yay or nay?
2023/05/14
The Actor’s Space is a podcast hosted by Laura Kee, a freelance actor in Singapore. Through conversations with fellow actors, and industry colleagues, we will be talking about the working actor’s life in Singapore – how do we pursue our love for acting, while navigating the business side of the craft? Let’s create more conversations about the challenges of building a sustainable acting career in Singapore.   GUEST:  Kamil Haque is the founder and Artistic Director of Haque Centre of Acting & Creativity (HCAC), Singapore’s first professional acting studio for everyone. As Asia’s only experienced teacher of the Lee Strasberg Method of Acting, and the creator of The Haque Method, Kamil has coached well over 10,000 students, many of whom have appeared in major award-winning Hollywood films, stage productions, television shows and national commercials around the world.     KEY TAKEAWAYS • Focus on a character’s objectives and obstacles, rather than their emotions. • Method acting basically refers to your method, or process, of preparing as an actor. That’s it.  • You can suffer for your art, without having to hurt yourself for your art. • Read & watch videos to learn more, but also find ways to practise. • Acting can be a lonely profession. Build your community.   QUOTABLE QUOTES ‘It's way more interesting to see a character fight against the emotion than to give into the emotion because we don't do that in life. Why would we want to do that on stage or on TV?’ – Kamil ‘Method acting at no point in time said an actor must suffer, must bleed, must lock themselves in the bedroom for 30 days … And it does not, and it should not ever involve you having to hurt yourself.’ – Kamil ‘The hope for Singapore actors would be that we begin to connect brain to body more, that we allow ourselves to be to embrace failure … that we begin to embrace the inner life of the craft of the work and not just the outer life, the teeth and tits side of the craft.’ – Kamil   Connect with Laura Website: www.laurakee.sg IG: instagram.com/LauraKeeLT TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@laurakeelt   Connect with Kamil: IG: instagram.com/KamHaq   Connect with us!

2023/05/05
The Actor’s Space is a podcast hosted by Laura Kee, a freelance actor in Singapore.

And if you can't take it, then don't take it because you will get very stressed, you will get very worried and you're not able to give your best.’ – Jeremiah   Connect with Laura Website: www.laurakee.sg IG: instagram.com/LauraKeeLT TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@laurakeelt   Connect with us!

The Actor’s Space Ep 3: Getting Beyond the Casting Jitters
2023/04/28

Notable productions she has worked on include Long Long Time Ago, Diam Diam Era, Ah Boys To Men 4, Number 1, and Little Women, a Netflix K-drama.    KEY TAKEAWAYS • Be remembered by not only your performance, but also having the right attitude on set.  • Do your homework! Don’t be afraid to ask valid questions so you can perform better. • Submit clean and clear headshots, without filters. Show your authentic self. • Be flexible and adaptable. Remember that directors have different working styles. • Casting directors are rooting for you to do well!   QUOTABLE QUOTES ‘You don't have to be too afraid to ask questions. Things like that are healthy to have. Because it helps you play your character better.’ – Dorothy ‘Social media helps you get seen, perhaps because of the algorithm and all sorts of things. But really, if you do call them in for audition, it's the performance at the end of the day that will seal the deal’ – Laura ‘When I meet those people who come for auditions, I always tell them, don't need to be afraid of me, just be relaxed, we're here to help you, we're not here to harm you in any other way. Because if we are not interested in the first place, we wouldn’t even bother contacting you, right?’ – Dorothy   Connect with Laura Website: www.laurakee.sg IG: instagram.com/LauraKeeLT TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@laurakeelt       Connect with us!

The Actor’s Space Ep 2: Working with a Director
2023/04/21
The Actor’s Space is a podcast hosted by Laura Kee, a freelance actor in Singapore. Through conversations with fellow actors, and industry colleagues, we will be talking about the working actor’s life in Singapore – how do we pursue our love for acting, while navigating the business side of the craft? Let’s create more conversations about the challenges of building a sustainable acting career in Singapore. GUEST Sanif Olek is an award-winning, Singapore-based film writer and director since 1996, with a portfolio that ranges from independent films to current affairs. On a drama set, Sanif credits the deep conversations his actors shared with him on their process as the main factor to mine their best performances. His debut independent feature, SAYANG DISAYANG, was Singapore’s official entry to the 2015 Oscars® (Best Foreign Language Film).   KEY TAKEAWAYS • Let your authenticity as an actor shine through.  • Don’t be too technical in your craft. Allow yourself to adapt to changes. • People talk, on set and off. Your work ethics – being punctual, working well under pressure, being professional – are as important as your work. • Be prepared to work with people who do not get along with you. • Come on set with an open mind.   QUOTABLE QUOTES ‘At least in my eyes, right, they just have to be themselves when they act, so they don't have to bear the burden of having to perform.’ – Sanif ‘If they only have like 15 minutes before sunset, how do they perform? Or like, 2am in the morning when everyone is shagged and tired? How do they perform?’ – Sanif ‘You know, not everyone likes you on set. So when everything happens on set, to just sort of like, you know, just take it in and focus on the process.’ – Sanif   Connect with Laura Website: www.laurakee.sg IG: instagram.com/LauraKeeLT TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@laurakeelt Connect with Sanif Twitter: twitter.com/sanifoo IG: instagram.com/sanifoo Linkedin: linkedin.com/in/sanifoo/ Blog: reeljuice.blogspot.com   Connect with us!
