**[CASTING CALL]** New 10 episode comedy/horror series by PetStuffpodcast • last post Aug 11th
Hello Reddit Fam! Karl here, I need a team of ROCKSTAR actors/actresses to help me put together a kick ass demo, and act for the entire series. Right now I need to find some core characters. Please apply if you think you would be a fit. Main characters are paid $15 for every 400 words (additional bonuses and perks discussed only if cast). The MOST important thing to me is that the actor is comfortable, and can really own their role. Right now I am looking for these 2 lead characters and have to be selective with them: * Max Blackstone – CEO “Blackstone Pharma” Narcissistic and cruel, Mr. Blackstone is the ultimate asshole. He borders on insanity and should come across as half terror/ half humor. I picture the angry editor/boss from Spiderman (Toby Maquire). * Steven Brooks – Mr. Blackstone’s assistant An average joe, that is a total pushover for his boss. He’s kind of nerdy/soft-spoken but will eventually grow into a leader after he no longer works for Blackstone. This is a zombie story that blends comedy and horror. A lot of bad language. Please email requests for the script to Karl at AudioForce5Media@gmail.com BOTH OF THESE ROLES HAVE BEEN CAST. THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR AUDITIONING! IN TOTAL THERE WERE NEARLY 100 APPLICANTS. I WILL DO MY BEST TO RESPOND TO EVERYONE PERSONALLY IN THE COMING DAYS, INCLUDING OFFERS FOR SOME TO PLAY DIFFERENT ROLES.

Chris Pratt dropping knowledge! by overanalyzingtv • last post Aug 4th
For anyone needing some Thursday motivation during this heat wave: https://www.instagram.com/p/BBCS7PoDHMX/ It's so sweet when famous actors still get excited about table reads and talk about how much they love their job. We can do this! (And yes, I know, it's over a year old... please don't judge me.)
Suggestions for the right Monologue - Clybourne Park HELPPPPPP by cfarlaala • last post Aug 4th
I am auditioning for my first play! I am in college and have NO acting experience. I am suppose to pick a dramatic piece. However, Clybourne Park is very satirical. I wanted to do a monologue from Other Desert Cities, but it is much more serious than the part I...
Memorization Tips by McGruff88 • last post Aug 2nd
There are those actors whom you may have heard of who have/had what is called "photographic memories". Actors like Meryl Streep, Jackie Gleason and Robert Mitchum, among them, were known to look at a page once and basically have it down - at least so I have heard. However, this...
