BBC's Comedy Acting Advice

--
I have no real acting experience.

I've been a singer/musician onstage for decades. I know how to enunciate, speak from the diaphragm, make my voice carry. I've done one or two lovely videos.

Like any creative attention whore, I've done a few things here and there over the years, but I've watched enough indie films and youtube videos to think, "Jesus how hard can it be? Show up, wait for somebody to say action, and act like what you're saying really matters. Right?" I DID audition for a web series, but I couldn't stop giggling when they were shooting because I was so excited to do it. How the hell do you get over that?

TELL ME HOW TO ACT ON CAMERA. Have you acted in film? Short film? Youtube? I remember SA Alum Brandon Hardesty used to post his movie re-enactments. Does he still post on here? Tell me your experience; tell me what it takes to land a role in a short film, video, blockbuster, whatever. Post your videos, or videos you were in. Sure, plenty of trolls will rip your work to shreds, but the good news is, people will be looking at you.

So here we go. If you act, if you ever acted, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.
