Honestly just curious. God told me to become an actor and so I'm wondering if He did the same for anyone else here, it would be crazy if He did so id love to know. private message me or comment, lets talk!!
Just wondering - when uploading tapes to tagmin do you edit your videos on iMovie/or any other software before hand and add a title card/transitions etc or do you just upload the raw recorded tape file from your device? I only ask because I’ve just found out that tagmin apparently says that we shouldn’t add a title card as they automatically do it for you and you can stitch separate tapes together on tagmin so therefore no need to use external software. They also say that using external software could alter the quality of the tape. Have I’ve been doing this all wrong? I’ve always edited my tapes on iMovie and added a title card before uploading to tagmin. What do most people do?
Can anyone recommend monologues for men that require crying or the actor cried during it. Finding it hard to find some for study. Thanks
Hi I was thinking of using friends as voice actors for my own characters and I kinda wanna know if that is necessary for Youtube voice acting and how do I get a recording studio
Details about the day for those interested. We had no context of what each director would be giving us but we did get the lines in advance. Each student had only an hour to work with the actors. It was non-stop jumping in and out of character. Each character, I created on the spot after listening to the directions. I surprised myself. I didn't know what to expect and I was nervous, but it was a blast! About the students, this was at the SVAD school in Chattanooga. It's a really polished program. They're a Christian based school, but their work isn't all faith based. There are very talented directors coming out of that school. Here's the 12 different variations of the same script. I hope you enjoy. And always, any and all feedback is welcomed. Keep in mind that I'm the male actor in the videos and the directors or the other actor won't be receiving any feedback. Just something to keep in mind if you want to offer feedback. [https://youtu.be/5ejtpkZ6C9Q](https://youtu.be/5ejtpkZ6C9Q) Cheers, Max
So I’m doing an audition for a movie and I’m fairly new the acting stuff and on the list of characters, next to the name it says (principal) and there’s others that say (actor). I’m just wondering what these mean. Any help is appreciated.
hi actors, so i'm needing a change!! i've been around for a bunch of years and over the last few i've become very stagnant in my progress. i'm wondering if anyone in LA has any solid suggestions on teachers/coaches who might be offering in person classes right now?
Let's say your agency finds an audition for the actor they represent and the audition is in a different state. Are the actors responsible for their transportation to the audition? Or would the agent set them up with a flight themself?
I am a disabled veteran with 100% disability rating with monthly compensations from the VA. Since I graduated a state university with a useless art major I worked for my family retail business and moonlighted as a background actor. I was grandfathered into SAG because I joined AFTRA impulsively and withdrew after a year before the merger. I am going back to background acting because I can just unfreeze my account at the call in service and start working right away. I plan to make myself available for 4 days a week and use the rest of the week to build up skills for creating Youtube contents, about art and design. And I am really determined to spend the time at the holding areas more wisely. I am just curious. How has Covid change the things on the set? I am kinda curious about how the catering and crafty tables are changed.
Been looking at some of the stats of the games I've been in. The first one I looked at was in development for about 2 years and managed between "20,000-50,000" owners according to Steam Spy. I'm not sure if the site takes refunds into account but by those numbers and this game's price, that means they earned between $259,800-$649,500. Devs work hard and deserve money... but do I deserve more money than I was given? For sure. 2 days of recording, 2 days of editing...probably a bit more tbh, I struggle to remember exactly BUT it should have been in the range of about $1200-$2000 minimum. In reality, I was paid a pittance in contrast to what is considered a fair rate. It's my fault. It's my fault for being blinded by the fact that I love to be in video games alongside cast members I respect. I just went along with whatever I was offered because I was desperate for the opportunity. Am I going to go and demand extra money from these devs now? No, I can't do that. I agreed to what was offered, I messed up and it's on me. I've got to learn. The reason I'm posting this is that I just want to say don't be an idiot like me. There is money out there in the indie space. Just not for us when it comes to some of these devs. If somebody tells you they can't afford fair rates at the time because they're indie, negotiate a back end. If they don't want to do that despite the fact you're the right person for the role, it's pure greed and nothing less. If people have low budgets "because indie", OK... but if they can't agree to a capped back end, isn't it just wolf-eyed of them? Isn't it just them being happy to step on others to capitalise in the instance they are successful? And believe me, it happens more than I thought possible. There are 3 games that massively lowballed me and earned hugely. I really want a culture of back-end payment to be normalised in the indie space for VA. It should be a normalised compromise if devs can't pay fairly. Last time I posted about something like this, I got a few people saying stuff like "it's how it's always been! It will always be like this." Well, that's apathetic af and guess what? We used to trial women as witches by seeing if they'd drown... not anymore... someone realised it was a problem so please don't read this and be like "that just how things be" Matters of payment have constantly shifted across the entertainment space throughout its entire existence. "oh, but what about people just starting out who want experience?" If you're the right person for the gig, and you spent time working at the audition, why should you be paid unfairly? I'm sure a lot of you have been far smarter than me and feel free to ignore this if you have, but I know there's a lot of beginners here too because you've DMed me in the past. I just want to say don't be a moron like me and accept less than you should be getting. I'm watching devs smash millions in some instances knowing full well they underpaid their voice cast after finding them on VAC. We all just accepted it and it's not right. I've said it before and I'll say it again: they get more for their money with us: studio, equipment, performance, editing. We're cheaper by the fair rate anyway. Are we on Fiverr here? I hope not. Leave that for your own good if you are.
If you're booked on a production (as a background actor in case it matters) they always send you to get a Covid test the day before you need to be on set. I know union background actors are paid for that. Are non-union paid for it? If so, I assume it would be almost nothing, but does anyone know about how much they usually pay?
Use this thread to post your headshots for feedback, get info on your age range/type, find good headshot photographers, ask any questions you may have about headshots. If you are posting a DIY headshot for feedback, and not just a snapshot in order to get feedback on your age range/type/etc, it is advised that you do at least some basic research on what actor headshots look like--composition, framing, lighting. You will find a Google Image search for "actor headshots" to be very helpful for this. Non-professional shots are fine for age/typecasting; please keep in mind that one picture is a difficult way to go about this. Video of you moving and speaking would be ideal, but understandably more difficult to post. For what it's worth, the branding workshop at SAG-AFTRA recommends a five-year age range. That's inclusive, so for example 19-23, 25-29, 34-38, etc.
I’m an 18 year old girl from LA and have no acting experience. I am currently taking an acting workshop, and my coach said I need to get headshots. I don’t necessarily feel like a good actor. I think there’s a lot more I need to learn. I know classes and Headshots are necessary, so if anyone has any recommendations for either around the area, I would really appreciate it!

I understand that it's going to take a long time until AI is able to actually "Act" but as the technology advances, how long will it be until TTS can replace us for commercials, and jobs where acting is less important than transferring information? (I'm mostly thinking of explainer videos) A customer just sent me an explainer video that he wants me to re-do. The original video wasn't that great and I kept thinking "This voice actor is pretty bad." That was until I realized it was TTS technology. It's getting better, to the point that I thought it was a person reading poorly. I think they'll always be a place for "acting" in the purest sense of the word. But how long do we have explainer videos and basic commercials? 10 years? 20?
it makes me feel less like a proffesional actor. it just takes me so long and then i still get the nerves that make me forget... it sucks. im still new to this whole acting thing but i really do love it. i just wish learning lines was easier, even with the first letter method i still forget the lines until i look at the paper. ive got a long ish monologue to remember and im really struggling. i have to perform it in 2 hours and ive been learning it since yesterday and still cant recite it with my eyes closed, what do i do guys? thank you so much.
I live in LA, I impulsively sent my photo to an open call thing my friend reposted from a legitimate casting director (“applying does not ensure that you will be confirmed for an audition” it said) anyway, an hour later I was confirmed for an audition. The description also said “You do not need to be an actor to be considered. The director is very open to working with someone new and wants the film to feel as authentic as possible.” I have no experience acting or auditioning, which I guess is ok, but i have no idea what to expect, i just know I’ll have to read a few lines from a script. Does anyone have any advice?
For commercial, there are clear benefits to being non-union. It seems more and more ads are finding what they need, and for cheaper, from the pool of non-union actors. What about theatrical, though? I can't really think of any benefit to being non-union there. I guess better access to low budget student films? But even those often have microbudget agreements and can work with SAG. Is being non-union for theatrical explicitly bad?
I left acting several years ago to go into marketing/advertising. I'm curious to see where former/semiretired actors ended up!
I’ve always wondered how these highly successful actors have enough time to do all of their work in a single year. Like, you have actors who act as series regulars on a tv series ranging from like 13-22 episodes & then still do like 2-4 movies all in that year. Then you have actors who can find a way to do like multiple tv shows at once (this one is mind boggling lol) Rose Byrne for example is one I really know is ALWAYS on/in something & im like how does she have time to live a personal life, film all these movies & now she’s on a new TV show for Apple+ Emma Kenney is another one, she was doing two shows at once. Shameless & Rosanne/The Connors. For me, I feel like you have to be a GOOD actor to be able to do several jobs so often, because I feel like I’d struggle with like separating each character, remembering separate lines, etc. kudos to them lol
I've heard actors recommend it but they were all in L.A. Are projects posted on there in smaller markets too or at least NY and ATL? [uptodateactor.com](https://uptodateactor.com) is a new one for me and looking at the website I'm not even sure what they offer.
So I dove into acting during the pandemic, took a bunch of zoom classes, and have been firing off self-tapes for the past few months. I recently landed some major roles in a handful of local non-union & unpaid productions, and while I was excited at first, now that shooting has started I’m beginning to second-guess myself. These are literally some of my first ever film credits, so im trying to be a little easier on myself cuz Im not used to acting in front of, well, other actors, let alone on a real set with real cameras and all that. Like my one bit of experience before this was a small part in a high school play, years ago. But every time I come home from a day’s shoot, I can’t help but feel like my performance for the day was nowhere near as good as what I know I’m capable of. And when I run through how the day went in my head, I worry that I sounded too “rehearsed” if that makes sense, or that I spoke to fast, sounded too unnatural, too much like I’m “acting,” etc. And I feel embarrassed for myself, and can’t help but think irrational stuff, like how the director must regret casting me, and how the other actors must loathe acting off me, Like I can’t help but feel like I’m ruining these productions, and that I should just give up on acting after all this so I don’t ruin anymore lol. Like I know it’s irrational and melodramatic, but part of me is still like “what if I’m right to feel this way,” yunno? I know that to a certain degree, I won’t be able to act at my full potential until I’m more comfortable on set, but I really do feel like a failure, to put it concisely. Does this feeling ever go away? What can I do about it? I’ve also only had like, a week to learn my lines for two of these productions, which I think is contributing to my anxiety — is that the norm? Do actors typically have more time to sit with their lines for more “professional” productions? Ugh, I guess I just don’t know how to judge my acting now that I’ve already been cast. Like a good self-tape or audition is rewarded with being cast in the role, but now that I’ve gotten that part out of the way, idk how to tell if I’m on the right track, and idk if anyone would bother telling me if I was truly terrible, or if they’d just put up with it for now and just ghost me and move on, yunno? Anyway thanks for those who’ve read this far into my ramblings lol, any advice would be much appreciated!
I just booked my biggest item yet - a feature. I know they have already posted on deadline about it re: two major a list stars as leads (I’ll be one of the two supporting actors in scenes opposite of them) but I was wondering how and if you’ve ever made deadline? I don’t have lots of money to spend on publicists so I’d love any feedback as I know virtually nothing about this part. Thanks.
So I have always heard that actors need to book co star or guest star role before they are even considered by casting for a series regular role. Recently I saw a girl who I had never heard of book one of the leads on a new HBO max show and she has never been in anything before. This is her very first acting job. She's signed to a great talent agency and management. I also saw she goes to an acting school in NY. How do things like that happen? I'm really curious.
Hey guys I’m in my early 20s and am looking to fill the 6 months before I start auditioning for drama courses with some full time, guaranteed paid work, that isn’t dealing with rude customers and the same daily routine lol! So I’ve started to think about applying for an internship at a talent agency to get some experience of what goes on behind the scenes and make some connections with all the kinds of people that associate themselves with a talent agent. I was wondering if anyone else has done this and if it helped them open more door that where previously closed? I also am worried that they will think I’m just a wannabe actor who’s wasting their and other people time? Let me know what you guys think :))))
I’m strongly considering applying as I’m seeing a lot of their actors working and I think they could be an agency I could get into. Does anyone have experience working with them? What’s it like? I’m hoping I could have an agent that negotiates for me this time around.
I need the expert psychologists on this one. If I am a person who uses comedy to give meaning and indulges in self-depreciation, what sort of fields would I best be suited for and enjoy? Maybe stand-up?
So I really wanna be an actor but I have to wait a year (til I’m 18) to start trying out for auditions and hopefully get an agent. However, I’m wondering if YouTube can help acting in any way? If yes, are there specific types of videos I could make??
I'm doing an assignment for my careers course where we have to study a career of our choosing, and I chose to study voice acting. One of the aspects of the career we have to find out about is the earnings of entry-level, median, and experienced workers. I've tried looking them up but I couldn't find anything really helpful. Does anyone know what an average earning would be for the different levels of experience?
This is a question coming from someone in TX! Should I look into moving to the big cities? Are the big cities in states like Georgia, Florida, and Texas good places to start out? Are the chances of finding good projects and agents higher in what I call the acting “hotspots” (LA, NYC, etc)? I need some thoughts and answers from some experienced people! ;D thanks!
Because I’m a realist and I don’t want to chase something I might not enjoy in the long run. Say I book a TV or film roll, what can I expect in the day of the life as an actor? What’s it like being on set? What are the challenges?
I need a Photographer thats in TORONTO that can do a proper HS (Headshot) for **film actors**. One who does it all the time, in other words, one that "primarily" does HS's for film actors. Can you name any ? my guy retired last year, I only found that out today.
What would we as a community say that is? When do you think an actor is having their breakout? 2021 will the breakout year for many of us, but what does that mean?
My acting career was doing really well before the pandemic. I was getting one professional role per month and doing background work or working as a host the rest of the time. I went back to taking acting classes during the pandemic and it hasn’t been going well. My acting teacher refuses to believe that I am a professional actor. When I told him that I got more than 30 union roles, he says that it was just background work. It was not. Most of these roles were non speaking roles but they did require a special skill and I had an actor contract. And I also had many speaking roles. He refuses to consider me as a professional actor. He also says that the reason why I am not working is my “disease”, my “problem” and when he says that, he is actually talking about my autism. He complains that I make people uncomfortable, look crazy, have bad social skills, etc. and this is why I am not working. I never had any complaints from anyone else in the industry but maybe they are not telling me this straight to my face. Other than that, he is a great teacher when it comes to acting, but not when it comes to building confidence. I even developed an imposter syndrome because of him and believe I am not good enough when applying for roles. Is he a bully or should I really try to fix my “problem”?
Is it the writing, directing, casting director or a combination???
I saw a post on this sub asking about if Asians in general had a chance, and one of the comments was saying how South Asians have the least chance to be cast out of any group. It did discourage me a bit. Usually for most, "asian" means people who hail from Korea, China, Japan, etc. South asians are usually not included in the umbrella term "asian" so I wonder what opportunities for SA actors exist. if you have a good understanding of the industry is there any demand for south asians (desis- indians, pakistanis, etc)? Also for any SA actors who might find this, what is your experience when it comes to casting specifically looking for "Asians"- do you get callbacks or not?
Hello there! I’ve been researching acting showcases for my 16 year old daughter and saw one posted on Backstage as “featured.” A lot of research has lead me to believe they’re either really helpful or a scam, which is a really broad spectrum. So you can see my dilemma. Lol Have any of you participated in any actors showcases (online or in person) and did you find it to be helpful? Thank you!
I see people talk about promoting extracurricular skills that you *do* have but, I never see anything for the opposite. Should you tell an agent about an extracurricular skill that you can't do if you think it'll make their job "hard?" It would be silly to put it on your resume/profile but, what about discussing it once you get a meeting? I'm not a confident swimmer (I'm working on it) so, I'm wondering if it'll affect work later on if I don't get around to doing classes? Since most working actors can't pick and choose their roles/scripts. Yes, yes, I know swimming is a good skill to have for life, in general, but, besides that, how often does it come up in acting? It would be dumb to believe that if the CD isn't looking for a swimmer, it means the character doesn't swim at all, right? Has anyone ever done a water scene here? Strong/competitive swimmer or not, lol.
How's it going everyone. I'm a stage actor and have recently thought about moving some things online. I have thrown together a couple of pieces and uploaded them [here](https://soundcloud.com/michael-fogarty-9), I haven't put together a demo yet but really enjoyed doing these. I would love any and all feedback thanks.
Hello everyone! First post here! I'm an Israeli actress new to LA and would love to collaborate with filmmakers and other actors to create and collaborate. lets connect! check out my website if you got a minute. private message me or leave info in my website. See you out there! [www.morbenhaim.com](https://www.morbenhaim.com)
I know that obviously when you are studying for any career you have to start with a side job. But I was wondering if I should have a back up job that’s almost permanent as the actors do not get paid a great salary? I am 16 and have know experience but I am so passionate to do this for the rest of my life because I would love to help directors tell there story.
I have been given the possibility to audition for an advertisement for a rehabilitation clinic, in which I would play a recovering addict talking about how well my road to recovery is going. But I got cold feet if one of my first acting gigs is playing someone with addiction for an advertisement, which can blur the lines between truth and fiction more than movies and TVs does, since it's not always obvious those are actors. The agency doing the casting is well-known, I guess, so maybe I'm overthinking this. But in your opinion, could this be harmful for a new career? ​ Thanks :)
Then I actually got myself in front of a camera and was on a real set. The atmosphere just makes me happy, and I definitely believe that there's a certain group/type of people that gravitate towards that kind of place. I feel like I'm full of energy and just plain *life* when in front of the camera, so now I totally understand. I'm just an insecure person due to so many factors, yet that all seems to go away when I'm on set. The people, the equipment, the process... It's just my favorite place. I hate going to work, but I never hate *being on set*. I think it's more the idea of work than it is the actual work, for whatever reason (I can think of a few, but I'm sure it's different for everyone). But, yeah, that's my story. :)))
[View Poll](https://www.reddit.com/poll/o3zqfl)
I've been creating a lot of my own work for the last few years and I have a friend who keeps giving me unwanted critiques. I wrote and performed in a show a good few months back. It was a massive challenge to get it on stage. The director abandoned us half way through so we ended up directing ourselves. But we all pushed through and I was so excited to get up on that stage after all myself and my fellow actors hard work and what we had to go through. At the dress rehearsal when we were just testing the lights and blocking out the performance my friend who was at it told me afterwards, she couldn't believe what a terrible actor I am and how weak my voice is. She said it's best to tell me the truth as she doesn't want to be one of those people who gives people fake praise. The director who abandoned us got back in touch and wanted to be involved again. When I told her this she said I shouldn't say anything to the director about his unprofessional behaviour because I'll be blacklisted and no one will ever want to work with me again. I was very shook. I was trying to hold myself, my project and everyone together to go on stage two days later. It was definitely a massive challenge. After she saw the show she told me 'that I was only a little bit better'. I did get some lovely feedback from other people. I have to say I can be quite a shy person so it does take enormous reserves to dig deep and put myself and my work out there, and I've had some confidence issues in the past due to being badly bullied but I've worked so hard on my confidence and pushing through. People would know me as a confident and very sociable person now. I've started creating and performing in my own stuff again and getting really great feedback from my work and invited to come on talks to talk about my stuff but this same friend again is giving me unwanted critiques and keeps telling me she'll sit down and go through all my stuff and give me feedback on everything. I try to ignore it and I'm trying so hard to put it out of my head but it's starting to paralyse me, especially after working through self confidence issues from my past and I'm finding old thought patterns are beginning to creep back in and I'm beginning to doubt myself again. When I'm creating her image and her voice keeps popping up in my head and it's making me want to stop and give up completely. She makes comments that I should just focus on one area, either acting or writing or producing, that it's not possible to do everything. But if I did that I wouldn't be able to stay in the industry because most of my opportunities are coming from my own work. And people are approaching me wanting to work with me and also I've proven in the past by winning little awards for my work. Also, there's so many examples of people being hugely successful from being an actor, writer, producer, the amazing Bo Burnham being one. When she does praise me...in the next sentence it's a but...and a critique. In a group chat she did it again, but I noticed another friend came out with lovely message of encouragement. I think my other friend noticed it. I have to say this friend who critiques me is a really good person and we generally get on very well. But I'm really struggling to deal with this to the point I don't want to hang around with her anymore. One minute we're talking happily away and then she switches and bombards with criticism. Also when we were working on a project together, she ripped me apart afterwards about everything I did wrong and what not to do working on my next project and she said she doesn't need the criticism because she's only doing this as a hobby. I have to say I never felt this way in a teaching environment or when I look for a critique because I'm aware of it and I see it as a positive thing to improve. I don't know why this friends unwanted critique is affecting my confidence so badly. Has any other actor/creator out there experienced this? If so, how did you deal with it?
I’m a Chinese (M16, Non-American) and I was considering taking acting as a future profession and maybe job. However, I noticed that I don’t often see Asian actors in shows and movies, as many popular movies are usually dominated by white-skinned and black skinned-people. (I am really sorry for phrasing it like this if I sound racist it is not my intention) Hence I am wondering is it possible for us asians (eg chinese, Korean, japanese) to get cast in a Hollywood movie or series? Or more importantly, is it plausible for us to even be working in the acting department if we aim to compete/work in the “American Market” of acting?
TLDR: I am a Baltimore farm boy who is afraid of big cities but wants to be a working film actor. Which of the big three would you suggest. Hello everyone. I tried to research and find the answer to this question myself, but I figure it might be better to have direct opinions from people as well. I have been acting professionally for about five years now. Granted not all of that time has been as a working actor, but I got my first paid acting gig right out of college back in 2016, so I consider that the start of my professional acting career. For context, I grew up and still live in the Baltimore, Maryland area. I love it here, but unfortunately there isn't really much paid acting work around here. DC offers a notably larger theatre scene and a fair amount of industrials for film, but actors will be hard pressed to find and get cast in enough work to make acting a sustainable primary income. Needless to say, I have accepted the fact that if I want to become a full time working actor, I will need to move one of the big three (NYC, LA, ATL). My question is which would you suggest? To give you some context, although I have done more theater work than film, my long term goal is to become a working film actor (preferably in action related roles, but everyone and their mom also wants to do that...). I know some of you are thinking that LA is the way to go, if film is my endgame, but in the book Breaking and Entering by Phillip Carlson (a prominent agent in NYC) Phillip talks about how LA has loads of film auditions, but that is it. There is apparently no theatre scene whatsoever, so exposing yourself to agents and other members of the game is incredibly difficult. He counters that although New York is not known for its film scene, a plethora of roles for both film and television get cast there, and unlike LA, New York has an immense theatre scene (especially off Broadway) that always you attract the attention of casting agents, who can eventually get you into the auditions for roles that are appointment only (like most supporting and leading roles in film). The only issue is, New York terrifies me. I grew up on a farm, so I have never been gung ho about the whole big city living thing, and New York is about as big city as big city gets. I have accepted that this is just a frustrating necessity for my career, but the idea of getting lost in the concrete jungle makes me anxious, to say the least. I spent some time in La and I will admit, that if I had time to settle in there, I could probably get used to that environment (its more spaced out than New York) but then I refer back to the original problem of limited exposure options. I have heard that Atlanta is a nice scene because not only is it wonderfully more affordable than the other two, it also apparently feels closer to a small city like Baltimore than the booming metropolitan of New York. My main concern with Atlanta however is that I am not sure how much of a theatre scene is there, and I have heard that the majority of the supporting and leading roles for shows shot there are cast in LA and NYC anyway. Long winded explanation aside, I would like any personal anecdotes or advice that can help with this decision. Wherever I chose to go, my goal is to make the move some time in January, so I would like to have my mind made up and start planning well before then. Thank you for taking the time to read this all the way through.

Working with animated characters in a live-action environment is increasingly becoming more common these days. Jurassic World, Space jam, Game of Thrones, to smaller budget things like The Stanley Dynamic, or car insurance commercials, It is common for actors having to work with animated characters. However aginst with an animated character is something that even the best actors in Hollywood struggle with, It is hard for many of them to feel awkward to knowing how to act with something that isn't there. However, this Hoskins's performance in roger rabbit works, as He had professional mime training, meaning Hoskins's knew how to to do this trick. As a result, his performance feels natural, and real when he's acting with the toons. As such I highly recommended you Rewatch(Or most currently watch if you haven't) and study Bob Hoskins's performance in the film. Try your best and remove the toons from the eatch scene. Notice how 100 % of the time he accurately imagines the Eye line of every character. Notice how also accurately imagine the height and width, weight, and texture of every Toon/Object he interact's with. Then compare it with pretty much any other performance with an animated characters, and you will notice how much less natural and more awkward the performance is. I think studying Bob Hoskins's miming techniques in the film , is something that could potently help you stand out in an a audition, especially if their is visual effects of any kind involved.
