First things first: actors must be ready for a manager before seeking a manager. What do I mean by that? Actors, you must have a career to manage before you pursue management. Managers don’t want to develop a career for you from scratch—it’s more time than we have in the day. At a minimum, you must have professional headshots, training by an actual industry professional, and enough solid acting experience that you have at least a few credits on your resume.You should also be knowledgeable about the business of acting and have an attitude that is professional to this career path you have chosen. You are the business; you are the product you’re selling. Actors, please understand that managers absolutely must have clients that want to work as hard as they do for you. This means we will not tolerate you expecting us to do everything for you with no willingness to get out there and try to find work as well. Whether it be a student film, background work to gain experience on set, or helping out a creative friend for free on their project—show us that you are willing to put in the work and we will reciprocate in kind.We also want to get along with you. Over the course of my career as a talent manager, I’ve experienced various levels of professional and personal conflicts at the beginning of a relationship with an actor. That’s a red flag for me. Difficulty at the beginning almost always guarantees difficulty throughout. When we offer you advice, take it. Know that we put massive amounts of effort into your career but that still doesn’t mean we have the power to create miracles. So when we suggest that you take classes, recut your demo reel, step out of your comfort zone, etc., please listen.We love working with actors who are always prepared. The actors who know their lines. The actors who show up on time to auditions and callbacks with whatever was requested of them. Those are the actors we want to help succeed.We want someone who likes the creative process of thinking about and planning their careers. #actor #management #work
I'll go first - I watched KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON ***spoiler alert**** and I love the scene at the end when Leonardo DiCaprio is talking with his wife and fighting with his feelings on poisoning her. I couldn't believe the range of emotions he let run through his face in that moment, and the way he delivered his lines still haunts me.
Hi, folks.

Casting director Laurie Records talks about #socialmedia and what advice she would give to #actors who are trying to build out their social media:"If you hate it, I would say then let it go. You do you. But if you have interest in it, be willing to put in the time, and that means daily or every other day. You need to be active. I would put it on my to-do list. Dedicate a half an hour of your time to cultivating that. I think that consistency is key. Just make it part of what you are doing for your acting career today. It will take time. You are not going to be on everybody’s radar from the get-go. But if you enjoy it, it should be a little bit of fun for you and [it] can absolutely be helpful in some situations. So, take the time, put in the effort and think about what you’re doing. Be careful, don’t slap things up that you might regret later. Be thoughtful. Keep your actor social media account pristine and with a focus that is going to serve you as an actor.""As far as red flags I look for, clients care about offensive content. Stay away from extreme anything, whether it’s provocative photos, extreme political posts. I think that you can express how you feel politically, but it's a danger zone. Staying civil is a good idea, and just staying away from crass, rude, crude stuff. You’re representing the brand in the end, that is how they’re looking at you. If you’re a known jerk online, that’s not going to work out for the brand.""Eventually, it will help you down the line. I think it’s worth the time.I would say, if social media is not your bag, stay off! Don’t have an Instagram account. It’s all right! But I believe that if you have interest in it, you will be rewarded. Follow other actors. Look and see what they are doing. That’s a great way to get some content ideas. Some people do it very well, so watch and mimic them. You’ll be different because you are you, but that way you’re not reinventing the wheel. Actors have come before you and done this social media thing quite well. Be a student of theirs, get some great ideas, and have fun. But keep it focused. Keep it focused on the acting stuff and enjoy it as a fun break you have in the day."
"On this episode of the Team Deakins Episode, casting director Ellen Lewis (KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON, THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, GOODFELLAS) joins us to talk about all things casting—of which we knew very little before speaking with her. A disciple of veteran casting director Juliet Taylor, Ellen shares with us how they were first introduced and what she learned working with her for eight years. Ellen reveals how closely casting works with talent agents to find the right actor for a role and how some casting directors even directly negotiate an actor’s contract. We worked with Ellen on KUNDUN, and she recounts her global odyssey to cast the 14th Dalai Lama across four separate stages of his life. We later discuss setting actors at ease, both on set and in the audition room, and how we do what we can to lift the pressure under which actors must work. Ellen also admits to us just how far she’s willing to travel to go to set."https://teamdeakins.libsyn.com/ellen-lewis-casting-director

Hello everyone. So I have been thinking which is better for a kids animated series. Child actors the same age as the characters? Child actors a little older so they still sound like kids but have a better understanding of the script or adults who can sound convincing as a child?On one hand I have heard child actors can be hard to work with and they can only work for a limited amount of hours straight or and limited amount of hours for the day, and they take longer to get their lines sometimes forcing the shoot to be longer. There is also the issue of the child aging out and voice changing, forcing you to find new child actors that sound alike.On another hand while adults can definitely work longer, they might not sound like a child. Is it a huge concern if they character playing kids in an animated series, is actually an adult?

hi all located in los angeleslooking for seasoned acting coaches
Hi Superstars! How's everyone feeling now that the strike is over? To be quite honest, I feel so inspired by SAG-AFTRA's negotiating committees effort and the support of the W.G.A. to defend all union actors around the world. They helped us get more funds with a fresh business model that can sustain our careers for way longer than before. What an amazing victory for actors everywhere! May the auditions start rolling in for all of us!! Let's go!!!
No doubt in the TOP 10 of actor auditions is this emotional delivery by Henry Thomas for a film that needs no introduction. You can hear Steven Spielberg at the end give the boy the role on the spot. The flushed redness face, water-filled eyes, uncontrollable cascading tears, hurried-huffing breath and the swallowing bolus are all in play. It is said Thomas tapped into the memory of when his dog died for inspiration.Watch the audition, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=tA5giyG8E7g

Took A Bad Acting Class - Next Time Ask This Question https://youtu.be/43xwDZvaNVQ If this happened to you, share what happened. And, if you did something that helped get you into a better class next time.
Just this week, I can't begin to tell you how many people I see asking for handouts without wanting to learn acting or screenwriting. They just wanna wake up and get a job like they're looking for a free prize with their happy meal.This topic has been boiling up inside of me for quite some time, but my last straw is people asking which AI software they can use to do all the work for them. Especially we just had TWO strikes to fight against the damage AI can do to the industry.To me, this just screams in a thousand different ways that you don't respect the industry. You just wanna wake up and be famous. Nobody wants to put in the work. I can't tell you how many times I've given bullet points for an actor on exactly how they can start getting real work. Only 1% of the actually follow through with putting in the work. Most of them (99%) just wanna go to an audition and wing it. Not willing to take acting classes. Not willing to get a professional headshot. Not willing to put together a portfolio. Nothing. They just wanna ask "How can I get a job on a TV show". To me, this is a huge slap in the face for me and everyone else that loves this business and is willing to put in the work to study!There's a big difference between asking for genuine advice on how to improve and asking someone to just give you a job without wanting to get experience for that job!Respect goes a long way in this industry and if you can't be bothered to put in the tiniest bit of work then it's probably not for you.

A first for me. I recently auditioned for a tv commercial where the brief for hero male was 50-60 and ‘wife’ a similar age. Just seen the finished commercial and the roles were filled by mid-30’s actors. I know briefs change in this world, but the ‘wife’ was played by the casting director on the commercial. I’ve seen casting directors and assistants on commercials; nothing unusual in that, but never on one where the CD I submitted the self tape to got the casting themselves. is this unusual? I thought I did a really good audition too.
It is good to determine intent as a Director and as an Actor. How do we determine Intent?By asking questions to ourselves:What does the character want, or what goal are they trying to achieve in the scene?Define each scene by what the character wants:Is it physical or tangible?is it information?Is it emotional?The Secondary Gain intent - When a person is trying to make others "think" that their own motives are different from what they say they are.Could be expressing ulterior motives for example.What does the character want other people to think they want?

In round two of auditions, we've got THE superstar contenders who check all the boxes – they look the part, act like the pros they are, and could totally rock our their characters. Now, instead of a quick script run, we're give them more time to flex their acting muscles. Three performances of each scene, with different emotional vibes each time – it's like watching a mini movie marathon!As the director, I'm not just looking for talent; I'm watching for that magic chemistry. We chat about why they're hyped for the movie, their schedules, and what makes them tick. It's all about finding the right match, like playing cupid in the casting world. The key is to serve the script and the story, not mind read what is in the Directors head... Round three? Picture this: all the actors in one room, paired up, and acting out scenes together. It's like a Hollywood speed-dating session! By the end, I've got the dream team, and we're ready to roll. After thanking our awesome actors, we let them in on the casting decisions within a week.Post-audition, it's time for heart-to-hearts with each chosen actor. We spill the beans on all the behind-the-scenes deets – the production needs, crazy schedules, and even the possibility of post-editing pick-up shots. For the newbies, it's a crash course on what's ahead. Negotiations with the seasoned actors' reps cover everything from pay to travel perks and dietary quirks. And yes, some actors have specific needs, like a trailer the size of a small country!Once deals are sealed, we've got a week of suspense before we spill the beans to the world. But hey, we've got our backup plans in case things get a bit Hollywood-crazy. After the big reveal, our winning actors get a fancy packet with all the deets – from schedules to character breakdowns. First rehearsals kick off like a blockbuster – it's showtime!
What would you all say you need the most help with as an actor? From craft to navigating the business...what do you feel like would help your career the most right now?
The First Audition Auditioning is a nerve-wracking experience for the actor, and it's your job to make them feel as comfortable as possible. The more comfortable the actor or actress, the better the performance, and the better the performance, the more of their skill level you will see. Beginning the audition - When you're ready for the first audition, have one of the production assistants from the waiting area bring the first actor to the audition room. When the actor enters, greet them, take his audition form and headshot, and thank him for coming. Always be polite and courteous; these actors are taking time out of their schedules to come to your audition with the hopes of helping you getting a role. Be appreciative and respectful of that. The monologue - After the introductions, if you require a monologue of the actors, ask the actor to begin and watch for body language and believability. In major cities like Los Angeles and New York, experienced actors rarely, if ever, use monologues for auditions and are accustomed to performing a dry read of the script. Monologues are valuable for seeing an actor perform a piece with which he is comfortable. The first read - After about thirty 30 seconds, stop the actor, even if he's not finished with the monologue, and give him a two-page scene from a script other than from the movie you're casting for. Some directors don't like to use the script from the movie, as this may give the actor they're auditioning a premature idea of the character. Character development should happen between the director and the actor in a rehearsal setting, not the audition. Instead, use a script from another movie with a similar tone, characters, and dialogue similar to those of the film you're casting for. Briefly introduce the scene and explain what is happening:, "You are playing the role of the factory worker, Joe who just left work and just found out he's been laid off. This scene takes place in the diner across the street from the factory between Joe and his old friend, Jean, the waitress." After the actor briefly reads over the script, have them perform the scene. Watch for realism and spontaneity in the performance. Give direction - After the scene is finished, ask the actor to perform the scene again, this time changing the approach to how he accepts direction: "Try it again, but this time, instead of being laid off, you just received a $5,000.00 bonus." Watch carefully to see how well the actor takes last-minute direction, how he changes his approach, and if he successfully incorporates your new direction into the scene. This is an important skill for the actor to have because there are often directorial changes on set to which the actor must quickly adjust. Wrap up - After the second read, thank the actor and, if you feel he may be right for the part, give him a flyer for the call back, or second audition, the following week. Be sure to have the second auditions already scheduled so you can invite actors to it during the first audition. If you don't like his or her performance, thank the actor for coming in and politely let them know that you will be notifying them of the audition results. Have a production assistant draft a friendly e-mail and send it to the actors you did not choose. Be sure to thank them for their time, as you may work with them in the future and don't want to burn any bridges. In Los Angeles and New York, producers hardly ever notify actors who are not called back. The next actor - Once the actor leaves, the production assistant from the waiting area should bring in the next person. Each audition should last about five minutes and is designed for you to quickly determine if you could see each actor as one of the characters.

It wasn't too long ago I was making low budget Tik Tok shorts using my phone and I would put my best one on my IMDB. People would laugh because "it's not a real film and IMDB is no place for homemade tik tok videos!" But I always knew that my goal was to show people what I was capable of.Sure, I wouldn't exactly recommend this same approach now that I've been in this industry awhile because videos like that heavily weight down your overall IMDB score, but as you can tell by the picture I've attached it's not the final nail in the coffin.I did it to show whatever companies/people came across my work that I didn't need a big budget to show people what I could do creatively. That TikTok video that was so blacklisted by everyone for coming across as unprofessional is the reason people still reach out to me TODAY to work on new projects. It's the same reason I became a part of actual movies with real actors and a real budget. Most actors/writers I knew in real life never made it below 100,000 on IMDB. So when I made it 94,000 that was the ultimate showing that everything I did worked.Once again, I would not recommend filling up your IMDB with stuff like I had because it really affects your score since it has no visible engagement online anywhere. Pick one very good video you're proud of. Try to upload it other places of the internet first to gain SOME traction. Just use one. Take that over to IMDB and show people what you can do. Because when you want people to hire you and you have nothing to show...they probably won't hire you. It gives you something to use as a catapult!

As of 12:01am Pacific Time on 11/9/23, SAG-AFTRA will no longer be on strike! There are a few steps to go through before the new contract is ratified, but hopefully the terms are amenable to the majority of union members. I look forward to reading the terms and voting in the coming days/weeks!

Well, this is encouraging, but I’m unsure about this point…Meanwhile it has emerged that last Friday’s “last, best and final” offer by AMPTP included the offer of a 100% raise in performance bonuses for high-cost streaming series and features that achieve certain viewership and box office targets.That seems tightly funnelled and little to do with lower budget productions. After all, the vast majority or films don’t fit into that ‘high-cost streaming series’ category, unless there are more details to come about that.Also, the ‘minimum rate’ increase of 8% seems way short of the 11% SAG-AFTRA demand. What do you think about these snippets to the potential agreement?https://www.screendaily.com/news/hollywood-actors-strike-parties-finessi...?
There will always be people trying to downplay your work. I'm here to tell you not to listen to those people and keep doing your thing. I still get people trying to tell me I'll never get anywhere.When I was a teenager and went to acting school I was told to get a real job. When I started screenwriting professionally I was told nobody would ever read it. When I created my IMDB page with homemade low-budget videos I was laughed at because they weren't real films. When I became a more serious business-man and had 2 films and a TV show to my name I was told they weren't really my projects and other people were the talented ones in those projects. When I hosted my own radio show and hired one of the best rock bands in the music industry today people told me I had to pay my way to success.If I sold a script today and ended up with a movie on the big screen people would tell it's not as good as (insert any famous movie in that genre). People will always find ways to downplay your accomplishments no matter how hard you work and what you do. Don't work for those people. Work for you.
I can't tell you how many times people want to get into acting but make excuses about not having enough for a camera or lighting. I started out with a low budget phone and audio that sounded like it was underwater. I saw it as a way for people to at least see what I was capable of from a creative standpoint.I was making Tik Tok videos as a way to put my short scripts to use. I did whatever I could to get my idea out there. I didn't need an agent, manager, producer, etc. There was nothing stopping me from writing my own scripts and acting them out. It showed people I was a creative writer as well as an entertaining actor. I didn't need to spend thousands of dollars on a professional camera. I downloaded free editing apps from Google Play.I looked up auditions myself and traveled all over Canada and US to take whatever gigs I could find. I didn't need an agent to do that.Everybody wants to say "if I had an agent or manager I could do this!" or "if I had money I could do that!" but the bottom line is you CAN do all those things! The real issue is everybody wants to take shortcuts. If you truly love this business you don't need to take shortcuts. Just enjoy the ride.

Michael J. Fox's indomitable spirit has faced a relentless onslaught: a spinal tumour surgery in 2018, a shattering fall that broke his arm in multiple places, and a near brush with losing a limb. During this tsunami of misfortune, he remained grounded. But that wasn’t always the case.At twenty-nine, after completing the final Back to the Future film, Fox received a stark prognosis: within a decade, he would be completely debilitated from Parkinson's. Fox confessed:“I was in an acid bath of fear and professional insecurity.”Fox believed his diagnosis was a penalty for his fame.He refrained from telling his family, his agents, or any of the film producers he was working with at the time about his disease, fearing his image as a kinetic celebrity would be incinerated.During the next decade, a series of box-office flops followed:For Love or Money (1993)Greedy (1994)The Frighteners (1996)Coupled with an ongoing battle with Parkinson's, he fell into alcoholism."I didn't know what was happening. I didn't know what was coming. So what if I could just have four glasses of wine and maybe a shot?"Eight years later, in 1998, before The National Enquirer could break the story of his diagnosis, he decided to take control of his life.Reflecting on his watershed interview with Barbara Walters, he said:“I felt like I stood there naked in the town square and said, ‘Look at me. This is what it is.’ What I didn’t realise was how many other people had been dying to do that.”From that point forward, he became a voice for those struck by the stigma of Parkinson's disease.The documentary Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie captures this profound metamorphosis. Trailer here.“I’ve said Parkinson’s is a gift. It’s the gift that keeps on taking.”Fox went on to say that Parkinson’s has affected his life in many positive ways: to date, the Michael J. Fox Foundation, a testament to his altruistic legacy, has outpaced even the U.S. government in funding $2 billion worth of Parkinson's research.Fox had a single request for the Oscar-winning director of his documentary Davis Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth):"No violins.”Have any of you seen this? Please share your thoughts below…Check out the trailer here:https://youtu.be/yHgMSR4F1Ak?si=XXrqD9DYZwCmDy5N

I am a writer so I am trying to work on my talents here but my husband and son are amazing actors. I use to live in Orange County California and worked on a higher learning with no effort because I lived where the industry was hot. now just hoping to find the connections that will assist in bridging everything together acting and writing.

Learning how to act from professionals in classes and workshops is one of the most important and effective ways to improve.You can find acting and improv classes in your city or if need be take online classes. Sign up for classes that interest you and that will push you to improve your skill level.A professional acting coach or teacher will be able to guide you in proper technique and give you tools that better you as an actor. You can’t always see what you’re doing. But a teacher can. And your teacher or coach will be able to help you make adjustments, learn the basics, and teach you how to mentally approach your craft.There are acting coaches and teachers who specialize in specific forms and can help you reach specific goals. If you want to learn to be better at auditioning on camera, you can find a teacher who will help that process.Put yourself in the right mindset to learn. Don’t think you are too good for classes. You’re not. For most actors, your job isn’t to be an actor. Your job is to learn and to be the best actor you can be. Reach out for new ways of adding skills to your repertoire, try a new language, accents, dialects, etc.#actor #audition #workshop #classes
It is so important for the longevity of your acting career to remember the casting director who gave you the opportunity to audition for the role you eventually secured. The day after I wrap a principal role, I always send a message to the casting director thanking her/him. In the message I briefly share what I learned about life from my character portrayal. Offering an insight into your internal journey is something your casting director won't soon forget.

Hey friends. Looking for some outside input and would love to hear any and all thoughts. I've got a certain chunk of change that I've set aside for a narrative project. I have a supernatural horror (2M+/-) script that's gotten lots of love but I've been advised to create a short film to show the vision for the project. I also have a VERY minimalist horror script that's kind of wild and funny and dark and scary that I could easily shoot with the money I've got set aside + maybe a small Kickstarter to snag some finishing costs. So my question is - should I make a short (proof of concept) and really go hard on that 4-5min piece? Or should I make a feature (my first) since that's a bit of a milestone that can help get you a second glance from producers... and potentially garner some laurels, etc.I'm sort of split right down the middle. Thanks, all!t
