The Summer Refuge - Shimla_1101

For those on honeymoon in Shimla, camping and ice skating are among the most preferred activities. Himachal Tourism provides for camps in various parts of the district, and the ice-skating rink in Shimla has the largest open-air area with naturally frozen ice. Near by sites include Kufri, with its rich biodiversity, Narkanda, which offers a spectacular view of the plains as well as the snow covered peaks. Chail, Rampur, Fagu, Sarahan and a dozen of other breathtaking sites is what makes Shimla different from the other Hill stations.
Due to an all year round cool weather, warm clothes are a must. Pullovers, along with warm jackets are necessary in winters and light woolens during summers are necessary. As most of the places are traveled on foot, one also needs to possess a good pair of shoes.
1. Show up! I'm serious...show up at your audition...preferably on time.Last week I sat in on a session where a full 15% of the actors did not even show up for their time slots. Not only that, they didn't call or have their agents call to offer a reason or apology. This is simply unacceptable and rude behavior. If you do a no-show for a good reason, then at least call or have your agent call.If you don't have a good reason, then show up or quit acting. You're just making a fool of yourself, claiming to want to act, but not having the self-dignity or respect of all the parties involved in casting to do the work and prioritize your auditions. You are not going to last, so either change your work habits or switch professions. There are too many hungry actors who could have filled your spot to leave it unfilled.
From nature lovers to adventurous tourists, Shimla is a dream destination to every traveler. One can never fall short of reasons to visit this destination. Blessed with natural beauty, it promises a vacation worth taking.
These are some of the many unnecessary questions/comments that come out of the mouths of even extremely experienced actors before they begin their auditions.I have sat in on countless professional casting sessions to read and/or operate the camera. I am constantly amazed at what actors say and do seconds before they begin to perform. I am equally amazed at the advice that actors give each other when it seems they have no experience on which to base their opinions other than perhaps something an acting teacher told them who was just trying to sound like he knew what he was talking about.Based on my experiences, I feel it my duty to dispel certain myths and point out some of the best ways that an actor can improve their chances of booking a job when they get that magical call to audition.
