VIDEO - How to Find Your Type in Shakespeare

"Type" is one of those things that confuses and frustrates a lot of actors. What it comes down to is simple marketing: you, the actor, are the product you are selling. You have to know which roles you are most likely to be cast in; how the rest of the world sees you - this is called your "type".
