Acting With Your Eyes

Acting With Your Eyes
By: John Michael Ferrari
Immediate Release
Hollywood, CA
August 27, 2014


Self-confidence for an actor is always the hardest thing to learn and acquire.  Many actors find themselves staring at their own feet or anywhere else rather than the camera.  That is a huge challenge for the director as they are constantly gesturing for you to look in the right direction.  As an actor you want to make sure that you have tremendous self-confidence and that you are able to radiate it like a light when you are on the camera.  That means that you need to know what to do with your eyes.  Acting with your eyes is the one skill which is not taught when you go to acting school that means that this is something that you need to figure out on your own.

However, thankfully with this beautiful new book from John Michael Ferrari you no longer have to worry about figuring this out on your own.  The book outlines all of the details of techniques which will allow you to look like a pro that has been a part of the industry for years.  If you have been seeking to look like a flawless regular who can engage your audience and allow them to see into your soul in front of the camera, this is your book.

When people see you on screen, the thing that will captivate and will bring them to always want you back in front of the camera is the engagement you have with the audience.  Your audience should be able to see everything in your eyes and should know what you are thinking about.  Acting With Your Eyes, will teach you many new concepts like the Magic Pull which will allow you to instantly be in touch with your inner confidence and draw your audience to you like a moth to the flame. 
Learning to act with your eyes will unlock your full on screen potential and deliver dividends and returns in the long term which will ensure that you are the best you can be 

John Ferrari's book "Acting with Your Eyes" is right on target. While actions speak louder than words, the eyes are the window to the soul. Acting is a combination of actions, words, and the eyes. There are many books on filming (actions) and scriptwriting (words), but few, if any, are focused on the window to the soul. I am delighted to read John's unique book. It is insightful; it advocates positive thinking; and it is a lot of fun to read (with a sense of humor such as "I've doubled my Facebook friends in just a week, now I have two.") I find John's book useful not only for actors, but also for everyone who wishes to improve their professional and personal life.”

H.B. Barnum will be appearing on ActorsE Chat August 25, 2014 at 10am PST and 1pm EST.  He is a native of Houston and has been writing music since he was a small child.  He has been a pianist, a composer, an arranger, as well as a producer, and  a songwriter.   He won a national talent contest when he was 4 year old and then was in a motion picture right away which was called Valley of the Sun Marches On.  H.B. then continued acting on Amos and Andy television shows and then was a part of the Jack Benny Show.  He was introduced to the musical world when he made his first recording as Pee Wee Barnum in 1950.


H.B. continued his singing career as he was joining all kinds of groups of Doo Wop singers all over the United States and then was creating parodies of popular songs which had been a part of the American subconscious for years.  Finally deciding to make music under his own name in 1961 H.B. Barnum published a song named, "Lost Love" under his own name.  He was also then getting into the mode of the prolific writer.  He began writing and recording on a regular basis and then recorded three albums during the 60's.

In 1962 he began a fruitful collaboration with Bill Aken as well as with Lan-Cet Records and then became the arranger for a few different campaigns for the governor's race.  In addition to that there were many bids for the re election of the governor of California.  There was a re write that was then used for a campaign and that became a major hit helping the governor to become re elected.

Barnum quickly became known as an amazing arranger and began to do work for Lou Rawls, Count Basie, O.C. Smith, Frank Sinatra, The Supremes, Aretha Franklin, Little Richard, Gladys Knight, Al Wilson, and the Pump Girls.  He also then decided that it was time to begin the road to production as well.  He became a music producer and worked with the best and the brightest in the industry.

ActorsE Chat is a co production of Live Video, Inc. and Pepper Jay Productions.  We broadcast from the heart of Hollywood five days per week to bring you everything on the inside of the industry.  We have had over 1200 celebrity guests and have had over 6 million views.

The Six Things You Must Know to be Successful in the Film Industry

By: Melissa English

It is everyone's dream to be on the inside of the film industry, but it is not possible for all people.  You must have talent, a big heart, an ego that is in check, and be great at building relationships if you want to succeed in the industry.  However, more than just knowing people you must also know about them.  That means as well that you must be ready for everything that goes along with that!.  There are politics which go along with the industry as well as key contacts and things yo must know to be successful in the industry.  You need to have a plan of action and also know that you need back ups for back ups.



1. Your Reputation is All That Matters!
When you are in Hollywood a deal can be made immediately with the right parties in place.  You word, your brand, and your reputation are all that you have.  Hollywood is a small town in the middle of a huge city.  That means that if you have issues such as an addiction, or if you are rude everyone will know about it before you realize you have been essentially black listed.  Hollywood loves a come back kid, but when you are trying to establish yourself that is the last thing you need to begin with.

2. A Relationship is about Mutual Goals Not Liking One Another!
As crazy as it might sound it is easier to work with someone you know, and have worked with before even if you do not like everything about them.  This is not to say that this is like working with someone who you do not like at all.  It means there may be quirks between the two of you as well as a few artistic disagreements.  However, at the end of the day the most important thing is that you are able to see eye to eye on all of the moving pieces.

3. Attitude is Everything!
Remember that just like your reputation means everything, so does your attitude.  You need to have an infectious amount of positivism to ensure that you know that others see that in you.  You should ooze light and energy when you are in the industry.  If you are not able to conform to that there is going to be an issue in the long term.  There are many people who are uber busy in the industry, this is why there is always an army of assistants as well as others who are there to ensure that everything works like clock work. It is necessary to have people to ensure that you are on top of all of these details.  Over the years there have been too many horror stories of NDAs being breached and issues getting out to the press to allow for many of the stars to justify anything other than stellar people.

4. Investors are Educated Gamblers.
When you are working with and speaking to people about funding projects, you must understand that they are in fact all betting that they will be able to make money with the project you are bringing to them.  For that reason do not assume anything.  If something happens that you are not certain of a particular matter on a project you better have a flawless pitch package as well as an answer for everything.  Doubt and hesitation to an investor equal risk.  For that reason you better be ready to pitch and to execute with the best of them.

5. All Tasks are the Same.
When a production is being made, all of the tasks which are a piece of the action are the same.  That means that we need to make sure that we are able to suck up our egos sometimes and be happy to help in any way you can.  If you realize that the goal is the production and for that reason whatever you are asked to do is as valuable as any other task, be happy you can help!  If you are not willing to realize and do that you will in fact be very sorry at the fact that you will not be able to improve your long term tactics for success.

6. Keep Your Mouth Shut!
Sometimes we are all tempted to say obnoxious sarcastic things.  Once something has come out of your mouth, you better be ready to justify it.  If you are going to be defensive or not cooperative, this is not the industry for you.  It is again a great way to find yourself on that unofficial black list that everyone mentions.  You will be amazed at all you can do when you are working together with a team in the right way.

With these cardinal rules in play, you will be on your way to being a success in the industry. Without them you will learn many of these easy lessons, the hard way.

Actress Guest Robin Riker with Actress Host Kristina Nikols on ActorsE Chat

Being a legend in Hollywood does not come easy.  And here is one of the most legendary actresses in recent time to tell her story on ActorsE Chat.Being discovered at a Hollywood lunch counter is the myth usually associated with Lana Turner. In the case of Robin Riker, however, it is actually true, although at the time Robin was behind the counter, serving burgers. 

Two months after her arrival in Hollywood, a television producer, who was a regular patron of the hamburger stand, decided to produce a story on the aspiring actress for his weekly magazine show. A few weeks later, Robin had 15 minutes of the most coveted tool an aspiring actress can have in her Hollywood arsenal: actual, professionally produced and aired footage. She hasn’t stopped working since.
Being able to say you have an agent and film on yourself only two short months after arriving in town was an amazing gift. “I certainly can’t call it an accomplishment,” says Robin. “It was as though my immediate good luck was the universe’s way of saying, “Okay here are a couple of signs that you made the right choice. Now… learn patience.”


Robin had been a theatre actress since the age of two. The third generation of performers from both sides of her family, she was “born in a trunk.” Actually she was almost born in a taxi on the Brooklyn Bridge, but that’s another story. Her parents, professional actors, who owned and ran theatres, had the very practical philosophy, “If you have children, use them.” Classically trained Robin grew up on stage, backstage, in the box office and selling cookies in the lobby. Even after starring in many TV series, films and countless episodics, the stage remains Robin’s first love and her favorite version of soul food. She’s been lucky enough to split her time between stage, film and television since her arrival in Hollywood.
Her stage credits include the critically acclaimed production of Arthur Miller’s All
My Sons with Neil Patrick Harris, Len Cariou and Laurie Metcalf at The Geffen Playhouse for which she received an Ovation nomination as Best Supporting Actress, Les Liaisons Dangereuses, at The Blank Theatre which garnered her a Best Actress nom also from the Ovation Awards. She worked at the Matrix Theatre in the late George Furth’s play Sex, Sex, Sex, Sex, and Sex
for which she received both LA Weekly and Ovation award noms for Best Supporting Actress. Cannibals at The Zephyr Theatre, The Kiss at City Hall
for the Pasadena Playhouse, The Falcon Theatre with Tony Danza in Bernard Slade’s I Remember You, The Ladies Room in both Los Angels and San Francisco and two off Broadway productions, Pied-a Terre
and Welcome to the Woods. The latter of the two was part of the New York 400 Festival
Her television work includes starring roles in six series. Among them are, The
Gregory Hines Show on CBS, Thunder Alley with Edward Asner on ABC, Get a
Life for FOX (her episode, Zoo Animals on Wheels, was named by TV Guide
as, One of the 50 funniest moments in TV history ) Shaky Ground, also for FOX and the ground breaking SHOWTIME series, Brothers for which she received two Ace Award nominations as Best Actress in a comedy.
Ms. Riker was most recently seen playing Hector Elizondo’s two times ex-wife on
Tim Allen’s ABC series Last Man Standing, followed by a recurring role on FX network’s Justified. Spring of 2013 marked the release of Devil May Cry a motion capture video game in which she stars playing multiple roles: a demon with too much plastic surgery, a teenager at a disco and, her favorite…a giant vomiting slug with the head and torso of a woman…kinda.
With well over a hundred television appearances, Robin can be seen in
recurring roles in wide variety of shows such as The Glades, Reba, HBO’s Hung and Boston Legal as well as guest starring roles on dozens of shows including Switched at Birth, NCIS, and BONES. She also played the role of Beth Logan on 60 episodes of the CBS soap, The Bold and the Beautiful.
Her first feature film, Alligator, has become a cult classic and was recently
named by the WhatCulture! website as possessing the “12th Scariest Movie
Monster That Came From Below.” Robin has appeared in several Disney films
Including Read it and Weep, Brink and, Don’t Look Under the Bed, as well
