David de Miguel Актьор

My name is David de Miguel. I was born in Burgos, Spain. Since Iwas little, I demonstrated the typical sensitivity of artists, but theneed to express myself artistically didn't awaken until several years later.
Shortly after turning 19, and being a film enthusiast, I wanted to get behind the camera. I studied the Audiovisual Production and Shows Degree. Later, in three years, I graduated in Filmmaking at the TAI University School in Madrid. In the summer of 2003, I also took a course in Photo Journalism at CEV Madrid.
Something was brewing, and I wasn't realising it. I was hiding behind the camera when what I also wanted was to be in front of it, and it took me a while to admit it. Around the age of 27, I started taking singing lessons because I had a natural talent for it since childhood. My first singing teacher was Dori Madrid, who, whenever
she had a gig with her band, allowed us students to perform live singing a song on stage beside her. That was the first time I stepped on stage, singing "Have you ever seen the rain" by Creedence. I remember the euphoria afterward, and my body trembling, not feeling bad for not hitting all the notes perfectly but feeling that I needed more. After that, I had other singing teachers, such as José María Sepúlveda, with whom I started taking vocal technique at Angela Carrasco's musical theatre school, or Natalia Calderón at one of Madrid's Municipal Music Schools. At the same time, I joined an amateur theatre company with which we performed
three musicals during my time with them: "The Little Mermaid," "We Will Rock You," and "Mamma Mia!"
I was beginning to enjoy the experience and also realising that I lacked basic acting training that I didn't have yet. I found a school where I started studying acting from scratch – Bululú, where I spent the first two years. During these two years, we performed several plays, including "Papis" and "Le Bourgeois gentilhomme" by
Moliere, where I played Cleonte. Around this time, I also started vocal technique with Óscar Mingorance. During these two years, I also filmed several short films like "Betsabé" and the four short films of the session "The Ice Lovers" by Álvaro Santos, where I played the protagonist. These short films led to a feature film that was shot shortly afterward, and due to scheduling commitments, I couldn't play the protagonist again, but I played a supporting role. It was very interesting to play two different characters in the same story. This feature film ended up winning the Granada Film Festival.
Since I couldn't finish the third and final year at Bululú due to availability issues, I tried to complete my training at another school where they
would let me enter at a more advanced level, and that's when I took a course at Juan Codina's school.
In 2016, my life took a radical turn because I also wanted to fulfill an unfinished goal. I wanted to perfect my English, so I decided to move to Melbourne, Australia, for 6 months with the intention of experiencing life, studying at an English college, and returning. However, I didn't return after 6 months; I stayed for more than 3 years because I found a place called the "Howard Fine Acting Studio," where I enrolled in an intensive acting course in 2017. Our usual schedule was from 9 to 5 with a short break for lunch, but we had to find time for rehearsals, study, prepare exercises, so there were days when I had to get up at 5 am in the morning. Howard Fine is one of the most respected and sought-after coaches in Hollywood. He started directing on Broadway, and since the 90s, he has had his own Acting Studio in Los Angeles. He has changed the careers of actors like Will Smith, Brad Pitt, to name a few. For example, when Brad Pitt was having trouble with his character in "Interview with the Vampire," he sought out Howard, and Howard made it possible for Brad to embody Louis. Howard wrote a book called "Fine on Acting," and when two Australians read it, they contacted Howard to convince him to found a second studio in Melbourne because his technique was so magnificent that Australian actors also needed to acquire it. Howard Fine, David Coury, Marilyn McIntyre, and other members of the Los Angeles studio Faculty spent weeks with us, Australian students, teaching us the same disciplines: "Foundation," "Personalization," "Scene Study," "Singing for actors,"... For Howard and the others, the most
important thing is the preparation, conducting an almost detective-like investigation into who the character is, whom we start calling in the first person instead of the third person. There is no correct way to interpret a scene as long as you are a true human being on stage or in front of a camera, living in specific circumstances. If you have done proper preparation, the result is usually good. I have never met stage directors so generous. When the time comes to show your proposal, they always let you show the first minute without interrupting you to not affect your concentration, and then the first thing they ask is: What worked? What didn't work, and Why?
Howard also conducts 4-day Masterclasses that actors outside the academy can also attend, and from day 1 to day 4, unimaginable changes have been seen in many of their stage proposals. I invite everyone to read Howard Fine's book: "Fine on Acting." Howard met Uta Hagen, who influenced him a lot.
In 2017, I traveled to Spain for a short visit and filmed “Con sabor a naranjas."
In 2018, back in Melbourne, I continued my training with additional "Scene Study" courses at HFAS while trying to get acting jobs in Australia. The process was going well, but I couldn't get permanent residency, so I had to return to Spain in October 2019. Until then, I had the opportunity to work in three theatreproductions: "Ebbed," "The Reveal," and "Westerly," and participate in various shorts: "All about Toby," "Camera Roll," "Casuality," and "Straight from the book." In 2018, I also visited Spain and attended a course with the film director Salvador Calvo.
In 2019, shortly after returning to Spain definitively, I resumed vocal technique classes with Óscar Mingorance and started acting training with Roberto Cerdá, but then the lockdown happened, and it wasn't until the end of 2020 that I started filming again. Álvaro Santos found out that I had returned to Spain and contacted me to shoot "Psychochip," which we filmed in November 2020.
In 2021, I attended a course with the Casting director Conchi Iglesias.
In 2022, I filmed two short films: "Dark" and "REM."
In 2024, I attended the Casting Director Course with Luis Cañete, where, in addition to learning how to develop a neutral English accent, we also interpreted monologues and scenes.
I have spent the last few months writing, reading, and thinking about how to produce and develop my own projects. I am starting to write scripts and a play, and in the process of founding a production company with Álvaro Santos. It's exciting because I am going to be behind the camera again, this time knowing the world of actors better thanks to all the knowledge gained along the way.
As of today, in 2024, I am still looking for opportunities and the possibility to showcase my talent, imagination, technique, versatility, and eagerness to work on serious fiction projects.
