Naturally, actors will do as many takes as needed to get it right, to the degree they value getting the part. It’s unrealistic to expect otherwise. The real problem is film makers asking EVERYONE to submit audition tapes, regardless of any real interest in them as an actor. Only a few years ago, I would get hired based entirely on my reel. Recently, I was asked to self tape and then do a zoom call back for an unpaid student film. I’m sorry, but F that! Just yesterday I was provided sides and asked to submit an audition tape of my acting for a project to which I’d applied as an editor. They hadn’t even bothered to read my application, but they wanted me to do an audition. I doubt I’m the only actor who’s getting annoyed and burned out by this process.

In what episode is?

Literally left to our own devices! (Android)

What is my motivation or behavior? Is it interaction with crowded audience or an individual viewer? Is my interaction with my adoring audience in a theater or a single individual sitting together across from me at a small table?

Come on DW, “spoon feed us! Make it easy for us.” You’re making it sound like we have to work for it. Put in the time?!? I double dog dare you, to come over here🙈

😊😊😊

Well now, you have to have some bad actors, once in awhile to balance out all the good actors. I like the part where you tell the guy, we close at six! Oh, and scratch your ear😂

Idk how I always wondered this, but is the client and Ad Agcy the same group of people/community or are they different? 👀

😂😂😂😂💯💯

🔥🔥🔥🔥💯🙏🏽💪🏾

I haven’t had a callback in the last 4 years. Maybe it’s time i’d get one

Street face

True, that's why when just do our best and not let it get us down!

Yes and I also thank them and mention their name on an IG story!😊

Taught lovely

This is great !!! Thank you so much .

Thank you, Really Helpful 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Yesterday I got an audition from my agent. Learnt the lines within a couple of hours, did my tape and sent it off. I don’t play! 😅

That's the right way to teach!👏

If you are watching in 2024: You can use AuditionLead - an AI scene partner that reads the other characters lines on cue, so you don't have to time the lines yourself. Hope you give it a go, and possibly make a new video for 2024

Ha ha, “Practice makes perfect.” Except, if you are “practicing, the wrong thing.”

Nice one......looking forward to see more facial expression and more of your videos

I always watch your video because i always have a new thing to learn.....thank you for this,looking forward to see more of your videos because indeed you are doing a great work.❤❤ And with your teaching alone am blessed😂 thank you❤❤

This very correct 😂

Please can you be my mentor

That was awesome street❤😂

Is it possible that at a callback, you may be given all new sides, and be expected to do a cold reading then and there?

When i said you are a boss on this, i really mean what i said...you are indeed the boss..thank you for this wonderful message.🎉

This very correct i did that and it work well for me too......thanks so much sir❤

You are great sir.....now i have a director😂......❤

Thanks for this great teaching...you are really a boss on this

Listening to your video gives me joy because at the end of every video I learn a lot that helps me in my acting career thanks a lot appreciate

brilliant

This isn’t a movie. Why is this decrepit actor talking?

I loooooove SWAT! keep it coming!!

This was very helpful. I've been practicing in front of the camera, and I think I'm improving, but when you mentioned "flubbing your lines" I thought that was only me. I vacillate between sticking strictly to my script, which I invariably become too wooden, or being totally spontaneous and missing necessary parts of the thought. Anyway, thanks, I'm going to keep trying.

Tell that to my acting teacher in highschool he may throw a shoe at you.. he thinks he knows it all.😆😆😆

a second take without the annoying clearing of the throat was too much eh?

You gotta just press record..

I've lost all respect for him.

Clown! 🤡

Thank You!

Half-stepper and knucklehead! If I could just “get my foot in the door” My one foot…. Knucklehead🙈 What a comedian👍🏼

Jaim beaucoup ces deux acteurs❤ ils ont beajcoup donne au cinema❤ ils sont formidables❤que dieux les benisse❤

Thank you

What do you mean they think I’m an idiot? They should know that I have many things that bother me, and my opinions about who I am are MORE important than their schedule for their production. I have feelings, too!

that's funny cus when he puts his eyebrows, I can tell he's confused and eyebrows up, look so surprised. When people are confused, they are negative so eyebrows naturally goes down...

hey Dan, so if you have an action while delivering your dialogue should you perform it? Also, I noticed slight shadow behind you. Can I get away with that?
