Betterment of the Art Comes Through Betterment of the Artist
My name is Daniel Roach and I created this site to be a place where actors and artists of all kinds could seek to improve themselves and their art. I believe that art in all its forms is an expression of the artist and that there can be no improvement or change in the art until there is a change or improvement in the artist. This site will help you understand what it takes to live your creative life to the fullest and to make conscious improvements as an actor. I hope you'll join me as I seek to understand and live a life of reverence for theatre, film and personal development. Read through this site and see if this journey is the one you'd like to take as well. Below you'll find out more about what the Alchemy of Acting is all about.
Personal Development for the Artist
This site will help you live consciously and courageously as a creative artist. I do not promise you that you can become what you've always wanted to be. I do not promise you that you will get guaranteed results. In personal development there are no guarantees and no easy results. All I can promise you is that you can make big changes in your creative, personal and professional life if you are willing to work for them. Personal development is as much a discipline as any other art form; it requires time, dedication and perseverance. If you know in your gut that you are ready to begin to take these steps, that you are ready to take control of your life and become the person and the actor that you've always wanted to be, this site can help you.
