"The play is not in the words, it's in you." Stella Adler
Perspective can create new possibilities for you where you didn't know they existed. When you view things from a set of new eyes, you're steps ahead of the competition. When you walk into an audition and you need to stand out, when stagnant energy enters your creative space, that's when you need perspective. Perspective can create huge paradigm shifts!
One of our core beliefs at Benjy Dobrin Studios is progress and to infuse a new perspective into your creative work, is to add...

Regardless of what type of career you desire, there's a "golden chord" that runs through any type of success you are searching for. I like to call it "the most interesting phenomenon". The most interesting phenomenon is very simple, the harder you work, the more work you get. It's as simple as that.
I recently came across an article that perfectly illustrates this most interesting phenomenon. Read below.
"George Clooey and Noah Wyle shared a lot of things, at the start. They shared a break—being cast on a show that became as popular as E...

A stick became a magical wand yielding powerful spells, a scepter in the hands of a benevolent king and sometimes even a sword for a knight. It goes without saying that we were born creative.
In this technology driven society we now live in, it’s i...

"The camera photographs what's there."- Jack Nicholson
If the camera photographs what's there, how do we present the best of what we have?
Like anything in life, acting in front of a camera is a learned skill...

Another BDS student is on a roll! Congratulations to this week's Student Highlight, Kevin Sean Ryan.
Kevin hails from Philadelphia, PA. and Grand Rapids, MI. but has lived in Denver since 1975. He's been taking formal acting lessons at BDS for over 5 years after being in a nostalgic rock band for 30 years.
“The rock band helped forge my acting identity, and ability to play, because we did many tribute acts. I did a mean Eddie Van Halen, Keith Richards, George Harrison and Tom Jones as well as a few others. I also love ventriloquism and have f...
