How To Find a Talent Agent

This short video is my way of saying that an actor needs to be "interesting", confident enough to make fun of themselves and learn to live with fear of failure - or LET GO OF: Fear of Failure! It's not a failure if you try. It's a lesson learned OR a chance you had to show yourself. You have to be able to HAVE FUN and act.

WHY DIDN'T I BOOK THE JOB? - Failure again....NO!
There are a million reasons why and the biggest one is not that you failed. That is if you tried your best and learned what the Casting Director or other auditionee asked you to do.

WHAT'S MY CHARACTER? WHAT DO "THEY" WANT?
All you can do is try to figure out as much as you can about the character and do what YOU want to do in your own way. "They" see so many tapes, so why not STAND OUT and give it your all.

HONOR THE WRITER
On your first audition or Self Tape - this is not the time to improvise and think you know how the scene could land better. Chances are the Writer will be in the room watching your tape!

SELF TAPES
They are here to stay - like it or not! We all must now embrace the procedure. Take a quick course - ideally a freebie from your Union or an Online Zoom Q & A. Have your set up ready to go when you get the call! It really isn't difficult, honest. My next post is a short video from a Casting Director explaining it in simple steps.

Remember to have hun, honor the Writer and the script, and feel good - you have another opportunity to work on your skills.
