Social Media for Actors - Casting Director Tips by Tammy Hunt  •  last post Nov 21st

Casting director Laurie Records talks about social media 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.

It can happen... because it is! [This gets good] - "I'M DELIGHTED" by Nick Bohle  •  last post Nov 20th

You know, as actors we can often get into a zone where we are waiting for the roles to come to us,  just lose napkins fluttering in the breeze waiting for some gust (booking) to sail us in some direction or another. Whether it's a soap or a blockbuster may not matter as long as we get to touch that special feeling that only exists when the camera is on and the stakes are high. While luck favours only a few, the rest are left out here with unrealized characters and our shoelaces tied together.


This happens all to often in Alberta, where I'm from. I'm sure it's not uncommon elsewhere either. Hundreds of talented and worthy actors don't get their shot because there is a stigma that actors from Alberta (or Demoine or Littlerock or wherever the f%&K are just bad. Want the truth? A ton of them are quite underwhelming. However, there are a few dozen stand out stars. People you will see on your screens in the decades to come. 

I'm obviously biased but I believe I'm one of them. I think anyone with a dream needs to have a bit of that belief in them. I'm seasoned, I'm practiced, I've led a pilot, I've led multiple shorts, I've won awards and that's all great - yay for me! However, it all pales in comparison to what is about to transpire. 

I'M DELIGHTED to share that I've recently received FUNDING (not through Stage32 connections) to produce and lead my first narrative pilot both behind and in front of the camera. Before you go ballistic about how impossible that might be, I assure you, it is not. This is not my first rodeo, just the first one I've owned outright. I'm thrilled to have the creative control and opportunity to truly show what I'm made of as an actor and television producer. We go to principal in Spring 2025 and release in Early 2026. 

The story is a gritty 90s themed dark-crime with a touch of comedy sprinkled in that explores the darker side of overzealous religious control on youth and communities. The pilot is called, "The Are No Squirrels in Lethbridge. I co-wrote the screenplay with Just For Laughs comedian and my good friend Conner Christmas. 


That's about all the details I can share at this time. If you want to stay up to date with what I'm up to you can find me at: @nick_bohle on Instagram. All of my activities are connected to that account.

Film Casting by Francesca Edwards  •  last post Nov 20th

There's such an incredible range of talent and experience here I wanted to share for anyone who FITS & interested. If you know someone off here that fits, feel free to share it. Seeking a cameo appearance male actor age 30+ with recognizable credits and a following. This is an ART film. It will exhibit in museums across Europe before making its way to the US which means millions of eyes. This is a film about facing our own humanity and an allegorical and humble search for oneself and that a single way to truth doesn't exist as we learn more from all the bumps and detours and falls than a single straight line. In this character's case, he was once a larger than life, mega star that was basically shot out of a cannon to the top, but dropped like a rock back down. He is then left only with himself, his reflections, and how to find who he truly is after only defining himself solely based on being this mega star that was for a while treated as if he were a God. Which is where he is at in the film, speaking to a reporter on everything he learned, the long, hard way, but came out conquering his own reality, and attaining an understanding most never look to reach. Room for improv as well. Very short day, will only be needed probably for 3 hours or so. If you have specific scheduling availability feel free to include that as well. Rate is $250 non-negotiable. No one funds art films no matter where it is going to play. You feel me? You MUST email casting with your "NAME - CWaLG" in the subject line. Rodjbrigham@gmail.com Thanks!

What’s your preferred Acting Technique ? by Ashley Kay  •  last post Nov 18th

I’ve noticed throughout my career, my preferred Acting Techniques have changed…


In college I was taught more on the Stanvislosky /Meisner  technique. Once I graduated college I found myself leaning completely into Meisner’s technique but for the past 3 years, I’ve been studying the Chubbuck technique with a certified Chubbuck coach but I do notice that in some instances, I will revert back to Meinser’s technique .

Has anyone else experienced this in their career? What’s your preferred Actng technique? What are your thoughts overall?

Icon Carol Burnett Shares Insights From Her Career by Ashley Renee Smith  •  last post Nov 13th

I’ve been obsessed with Carol since I was a little girl. My mom and I used to watch reruns of the Carol Burnett show whenever we could find them on TV and I went through a phase where we played our VHS of Annie repeatedly. The Carol Burnett show still makes me laugh so hard I cry. To call her an icon is an understatement. 


What are your favorite Carol Burnett roles or sketches from over the years?
