Understand The Best Way to Handle Audition Notes – Surprise by Aaron Marcus  •  last post Jul 23rd

It is common for writers to place notes in the sides we use for auditions. Their comments or ideas could be anything from having your character scream, laugh or is surprised for certain lines or responses.

It is important to read what they have to say, but I don’t believe it is necessary to follow their input for the audition.

Watch the video to learn why:

How have you handled the notes in the sides when auditioning for a project?
Do you follow or disregard them? Share your experience with us.

Rachel Bloom and creating your own work. by Tom Lapke  •  last post Jul 17th

Rachel Bloom is a perfect example of creating your own work and career. Nobody was beating down her door to star in any of their projects. She started making (really well done) YouTube videos. One video went viral (called "F*ck Me Ray Bradbury," which is about exactly what you think it is about), which led to a writing job on Robot Chicken, and then her creating and starring in her own show, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. I will scream it until my throat is raw, you do not need anyone's permission to have an acting career.

Ask Me Anything (AMA) Wednesday 7/17 to Thursday 7/18- Using Social Media Content to Forge Your Own Path as a Performer and Creator by Ashley Ottesen  •  last post Jul 15th

I'm one of those actors who spent years at a university learning how to be...myself, and called it an acting degree. Sure a lot of us here can relate to that, and we are all basking in the pride of our parents, right? (Is this thing on?)


Many of us actors can feel like we are floundering out here in the business, and many more of us are perhaps impatient or maybe even a little (a lot) frustrated with the seldom auditions and the even more seldom bookings. We've all been there. 

So what can we do during that down time? CREATE! Put all that pent up creative energy to good use, and film something for social media. The pandemic really opened that avenue for me, and I've been posting short comedic sketches for YouTube, TikTok and other social media for four years and have been blessed with, collectively, over 2 million followers.

Ask me anything! There are no dumb questions. How did I start? What equipment do I need? What if I'm nervous about putting myself out there? 

Aaaand go! 

Armie Hammer interview by Tom Lapke  •  last post Jul 15th

It is wild to think about the last few years of Armie Hammer's life. Imagine going from A-list celebrity to selling time shares. Even more so, imagine walking into a time-share sales office and seeing Armie Hammer behind the desk.
