Torn between two countries and juggling the demands of career and motherhood, Essie Davis returns to the Sydney stage in a play by Steven Soderbergh, based on tragic events that are still unfolding.
…Despite relishing the words of Shakespeare and Williams and seducing audiences with her eloquent and bravura theatre work, including Judy Davis’s sparkling version of Sheridan’s classic satire The School for Scandal eight years ago, Davis insists she has tried many times to turn away from the theatre.
“There was a time when I solely wanted to pursue film but for whatever reason various film projects kept bringing me back to the theatre,” says Davis, acutely aware of the irony of working with the prolific filmmaker Soderbergh on his stage debut.
…Davis will appear in two Australian films next year: Kin, by the first-time director Amanda Jane, about a Russian woman who flees her homeland to be with the man of her dreams; and Shirley Barrett’s South Solitary, a drama set in the 1920s and co-starring Barry and Miranda Otto.

Voice-overs and voice acting is something that everyone seems to have interest in. What could be better, reading into a microphone, not being seen, lot of money….As it is with most things in the show business world, there is much more to it than that. First is, of course, an ability to perform consistently, in a studio environment. For many, this may not be as easy as it seems. Directors, audio technicians, Ad Reps., Copy-writiers, can make a pressured situation worse. Next, the actor must be able to offer several interpretations of the same script. Third, getting the job by having a great audition and demo-tape that has “professional” written all over it are essential ingredients that make a Voice-Over career a realistic pursuit. Finding out if you’ve got what it takes may simply be a matter of taking a class with a professional instructor who can help you.

Great quote from the President of the United States, Barrack Obama;
Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it’s not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won’t. it’s whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere.
~ Barrack Obama
