Sylvia ToyI am an independent filmmaker and video artist. I am interested in filmmaking, writing and self-distribution. I am an actor trained as a visual artist. I create video art/microcinema that crosses genre into nonlinear narrative. A lot of my work is autobiographical, dealing with psychosis. My movies are “solo productions” for the most part, composed primarily of scenes improvised directly on camera. My specialty as an actor is performing multiple characters.
I am an actor & video performance artist trained as a visual artist, playwright & videographer. My work is primarily short, existential nonlinear drama.
My BA is in Art and English. I studied playwriting for 10 years. I studied acting with Luis Oropeza, Sharon Walton, Shelton Studios & Studio A.C.T. I studied voice for 1 year with Selma Toy & for 3 years with Dr. Lee Strawn. My professional videography training was by Darrell Holdaway, internships & the American Guild of Court Videographers certification program.

http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF6jWf5H1XJ1_cucc07CXICmzqW02c4m8 The Backstory of ArtificeIntroduction. I do not like books about acting, per se. I like to read and hear what other actors have to say about their own process. My instrument and I are not perfect. My voice is too small. My Nebraska accent that sticks to my vowels like molasses and every glottal that has ever been uttered has found its way into my speech Fortunately for me, I am not a perfectionist. Besides, we live in an imperfect world. I try to be ready, instead. A person who is always ready always has a plan - and probably a backup plan, also. My plan, always, is to turn on the camera, hit record and tell the truth. To tell the truth, I have to be quiet inside so that when the truth starts, I will be able to hear it. Wait a minute. BREATHE, STRETCH, turn on the camera, BREATHE, hit record, BREATHE and tell the truth.
