Pitchy regular Duff Eynon recalls regaining his passion for acting

The Diversity of Pitchy – My Motley Year
Charlie Joseph recounts his year at Pitchy
2014 saw Pitchy Breath offer up three productions that were as different to each other as chalk and cheese (and a third object, dissimilar to both chalk and cheese) and I was lucky enough to be involved in the trinity with a similar variety of roles.

How to prepare for a Pitchy Breath audition
Even the professionals baulk at the idea of auditioning, standing in front of serious faced directors and baring their soul. However the good news at Pitchy Breath is we’re friendly, smiley people who just want to get the best people for the best parts.
No two auditions are ever the same. Different directors work in different ways so don’t come with any preconceived ideas, just come open minded and ready to react to whatever comes your way. Read more
