Casting Tips

Step 1. Let go of what you can’t control.

And the most challenging part to accept? Most of them are completely out of your control.

Check this out…

Here are the most common…

  1. You’re too tall
  2. You’re too short
  3. You’re too pretty
  4. You’re not pretty enough
  5. You’re too handsome
  6. You’re not handsome enough
  7. You’re too fat (…)

Step 2. Focus on doing your best work.

If your audition is good – if it’s highly competitive, complex and specific and you NAIL IT from beginning to end – they will remember you.

Step 3. Don’t kick yourself if you don’t get the part.

You know what often goes hand-in-hand with rejection?

  • Self-judgment.
  • Anger.
  • Despair.
  • Negative self-talk.

10 Tips to Being a Happier Actor

1. Equalize Auditions:

Equal all auditions with the same goal and manner of importance. Stressing more importance of one audition over another places unnecessary stress, worry, and anxiety on the actor.

2. Plan for After an Audition:

Stage and screen star James Rebhorn spoke of his auditions as a, “part of my ordinary day.” He’d plan errands for afterwards so that the audition didn’t dominate the day or his focus. His life dominated the day. His auditions became more relaxed. He was comfortable. Onward he’d go to his next duty for the day.

3. Don’t Advertise Auditions:

When actors announce on social media that they, “have a huge audition” later that day, or need “Your prayers and support for a big call-back” the actor is placing undue pressure on themselves.

4. An Hour a Day Towards Future Pay:

Maintain a set schedule of one hour per day, five days a week to market your skills as an actor. Give yourself definitive tasks to complete

5. Get Out:

Depression loves loneliness, and abhors company. Depression or sadness breeds and thrives on your keeping to yourself.

6. Avoid Social Media:

Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other social media platforms are digital Petri dishes that foster and grow your comparison worries.

7. Learn, Grow, Network:

Take a classthat truly educates, and expands your skill set as both an actor, and as a business actor. An actor is not only the product but the promoter of the product.

8. Exercise:

Movement forces blood flow which stimulates brain activity. Increased continuous movement also diminishes toxins in the body that cause us to be sluggish and depressed.

9. Give Back:

Volunteer an hour a week at a charity, and/or volunteer time and efforts at a theater company or an arts related organization

10. Intern:

I often chide that I was once the oldest casting intern at age 29.  My casting, directing, and teaching career owes much to the foundation of my being that ancient intern.

Stay Focus On You And Your Acting Goals

By · Follow us: Facebook · Twitter · Instagram · YouTube

Have you ever had to deal with haters? People who just seem to want to destroy you and everything you do?

Whenever we put ourselves out there, we open ourselves up to haters but is that a good enough reason to put us off doing what we love? No!

They want to get inside your head taking your energy away from focusing on the important stuff and force you to focus on pointless dramas instead. Don’t let it happen.

First, if you do know them- stay away from them. Block from your social media, emails, phone and just get on with your life.

If you don’t know them, just ignore. It will very soon die down if you don’t respond. There might be times when you feel like you want to defend yourself (if rumors are being spread for example) and that’s understandable but in that case, respond once then don’t look again.

  1. Ignore.
  2. Quickly re-focus your mind thinking of 3 things that make you happy and visualizing your end goal. If you are struggling to re- focus, take a break and do something that lifts your mood- go for a walk, take a bath, go to the gym, read a book or whatever works for you.
  3. Keep on kicking a*s and doing what you do.
