Kim Vithana

When Kim came to talk to us all, it was a very useful experience. Kim has played parts in a range of TV, from Doctors to Coronation Street, and lots more. When she came in, she had brilliant pronunciation and knew how to portray herself. Kim told us that she had done a degree in Theatre and Art at Rosebury Theatre? She then went on to say that she had started off in theatres, seeing how stage managment worked out. She then went on to say she had later gone to birmingham to do a show there, which really helped her grasp the concept of acting as a young adult. She told us that you learn all sorts of things and get to go to so many types of places, the award shows are great, and your getting paid for something you love doing, so its a bonus! But she also said that it is not full time, and that when you dont have work or auditions constantly coming in, its hard. You have to have a back up plan, or something else you can do in the meantime. Which got me thinking about what i would do. I'd always have to stay within 'The Arts' as its the only thing i can imagine myself doing. I've always been very interested in Casting & Script-writing, so maybe something within that. She also said that when you get into acting, you can sometimes be type-casted. So you need to make a decision what sort of roles you want to go for. And when you do have auditions for things, dont over analyse them! Once your done, there is nothing you can do. Lastly, she said to pay attention! Keep an eye on the current affairs in tv, theatre and film, because

it will help you out.
