About


Hello there! My name is Mike Giuffrida. I'm currently attending acting and film classes in LA. Moving to this city was a scary idea at first, but now I can see why everyone who wants to make it big in the entertainment industry starts here. While things could get pretty intense especially during audition season, I don't mind calling the City of Angels home. This magical city also introduced me to people who share my passion for drama, comedy, art, and music. It's a melting pot of different characters, and I'm going to soak up this city's creativity until it's time for my big break.

What else? My goal is to become an actor who excels in comedy and action. Of course, I also want to do well in drama, but my goal is to be like RDJ or Ryan Reynolds. I guess I'm more of a funny guy than a brooding one.

Freddie Mercury is hailed as one of the best performers in music history. From his impossible vocal range to his larger than life stage presence, no other artist has ever come close to Mr. Fahrenheit himself. We’ve all heard of Bohemian Rhapsody, seen the Live Aid concert, and chanted We Will Rock You at some point. Only a man with such greatness can have such an impact on our lives. Here are some facts depicting just how phenomenal Freddie Mercury was as a performer.

While he is naturally a baritone, Mercury primarily sang as a Tenor. He also made switc...

Theater arts: Main differences between theater and movie acting

Image
Theater acting and screen or movie acting are two different skills. One requires you to act in front of a live audience of hundreds of people with very minimal breaks while the other lets actors do a scene as many times as possible. But apart from logistics, what are the main differences between theater and movie acting? Image source: uarts.edu Theater acting requires thespians to exaggerate their facial expressions and their gestures to make it easier for everyone in the theater to see. Unlike the movies where you could have a camera zoom in to show the most delicate facial expressions, working in theater requires actors to adjust their expressions to the size of the audience. The audio level also changes between theater and cinema acting. Not all productions can afford to equip everyone with microphones. Some stages have microphones strategically placed in areas of the stage while some smaller productions use zero microphones. This means that theater actors have ...

Thoughts on LeBron’s arrival in L.A. and how this changes Lakers basketball

Image
Image source: clutchpoints.com The opening day of NBA player-signing and trading came with a huge bomb-drop as LeBron made his new decision to take his talents to Los Angeles and the storied Lakers franchise.   While this did not come as a surprise to many, it nonetheless shifted the league’s balance of power to the already-loaded Western Conference.   LeBron has proven in the last eight seasons that his mere presence is enough to carry a team to the championship.   At a time when team basketball and torrid, small-ball shooting is dominating the league, the King is still able to muscle his way through, so to speak.   As a result, not a few experts are predicting the Lakers to make it to the Finals as early as this coming season.   Of course, the West is a different creature altogether.   What has proven effective in past seasons for LeBron-led teams may not work in a stacked conference that features the reigning champs Golden State as well...
