Doing nothing IS MORE!! They want the person in the head shot for small roles. They want your essence as is…

Doing nothing IS MORE!!

Your the Nail in the wall to support story. 😂

Its not about us it's being the story pusher.

Some times all in the eyes if done right

Thank you very much for your information. It makes you think outside of the box. Good point

🔥

Thank you, Amy. I badly needed this advice. 😭💔

Talk to the casting director I talk about the sitter at it

A good memory to acting

#5 was helpful. As a procrastinator, I need to be doing this on a regular basis!!

I’m currently working on #5…getting prepared for upcoming auditions, by observing how to handle interruptions because of living so closely to neighbors in a condominium community-unexpected noise, and timing issues of phone calls coming in, and running out of time for getting the video audition completed in time.

#4 was the most helpful for me. I know I thought that screwing up an audition would be remembered. Good to know that it won't adversely affect my chances next time around.

Judging - that's their job! Love that. And the other comment I heard long ago that helps not to take "rejection" personally, is that you may have a great audition but physically you're simply not right for the part. In the meantime, keep honing your skills.

I often wonder what are the things you can work on alone in acting that will help with your next audition. Like acting exercises or such.

I think worries about being judged come when you think a lot about what casting director is going to say about you. From my experience, if you are narrow your focus to your character, his life, his thoughts, his presence in the scenes, his feelings, you’ll have no space in your head to worry about casting director judgements

Spot On Amy Jo! Thank you so much for the fantastic tips and Insite!

Great Audition but not FIT with rest of Cast.

That makes so much sense, especially within monologs. Thank you ❤

I was 5 in San Diego when an Earthquake around that magnitude struck. It lasted 10 seconds and scared me to death. I remember that like it was yesterday.

Casting directors are asking for too many tapes if they can’t watch them all and it’s disrespectful to everyone’s time and money to request more than they can properly connect to. They are supposed to be experts, so they should know how many they can really facilitate. I’m really sick and sad that tapes have made so many casting “directors” into casting administrators instead, without them realising it. It’s become an embarrassment to hear how out of touch they are about tapes. It’s clear they’ve never been an actor filming a tape before. I miss when casting directors might have some relevant acting experience in the past. The passivity of taping is showing up in the work. Same faces and lots more consumerism from a few choice companies who were happy to watch as the industry collapsed during the strike. Having creatives in the room is always going to produce better connection to the work. One day that might start becoming more fashionable again but for the moment casting directors watching tapes they request is a bare minimum expectation.

🔥🔥🔥

One of the great things about self taping is that I don't have to deal with the rudeness and self righteousness of many CD's. I don't miss the whole, "I control your career" attitude. It just really sucks.

Can't pick one. They're all good!

Thank you for these! All of them are helpful.

"They keep you at arms length" - wow, is that's what's going on? I figured it was embarrassment. That we were both embarrassed that I didn't get cast.

Wonderful perspectives. Allows me to just concentrate on my best and know other factors beyond me are out there. Always deliver if I’m being watched

Brilliant tip. Thank you!

Great video. Thanks!! I've booked several roles with your technique, it works. I do come from the theater and it was difficult to do this at first but, once I figured it out, it made a big difference.

Thanku mam ❤

Thanks for the new knowledge 😁

Im loving your videos!!! Im learning so much!!! Keep them coming!!!

Got it! Thanks.

Good example of #3: Morgan Freeman played the character ‘Red’ (and nailed it of course) in The Shawshank Redemption. But in the original story, Red was a native Irishman with bright red hair 🧑‍🦰

How do I get an agent?

You are HILARIOUS 😂. Subscribed!

💪🌲🎬✨

So, use your intuition, but sometimes your intuition sucks, don't use it. Great!

So let me get this straight; don't be big, it's not about you, but sometimes do be big because it is about you and do nothing without being boring and also, don't do what you've studied in acting classes for years. This business sucks.

When ur prepared for curve ball mentally it doesn't keep u from being present

Thinking they can't connect wid ur emotion ..films actors work even though they are not in front of u remember that

Be yourself Dont aprieciate urself Go lyk chit chat wid friends be normal

Follow instructions Never pick famous dialogues from films Do ur best portray bestest emotions high n low best voice modulations Pick sumthng close to which would get u casted right away

I knew this was true, but it's nice to hear from an expert.

I audition for anything and everything they send my way. I'm not a singer but I'm auditioning for a commercial that requires I sing. I'm going to give it my best shot no matter what.

Would love to hear more on this as well!!! So many thoughts are not necessarily ours but yet they reside in my head!

Thank you for your advice Miss Amy. I'm going to apply this to my auditions
