3 tips Nail Small Role Co-Star Auditions Without Being Boring

[@ActorsWithIssuespodcast]

This helped me a ton with my first co-star. Lab Tech on an FBI show, 3 lines to relay information to the principals and that's it. Co-star roles are not the moment to shine, say your lines, 'get in and get out'!

[@ingridhubert3649]

Solid!

[@Soothingyou45]

the way you said pass the coffee was so funny.

[@RandyJayBurrell]

Amy this is Great 👏🏼 Just randomly put this on while setting up for a decent co star spot and boom, heard everything I needed to hear. These reminders are sometimes all you need. Ok off to go book this! Thanks Amy 🙏🏼

[@stagesteele]

Truth.This is 90% of your meat and potato roles. If you're hungry,you have to learn the business this way."Serve the scene", your moment to outshine everyone will come.

[@screenfocus]

It often doesn't apply just to small roles: less is more! That's my view as an actor and as a viewer as well.

[@daradoes]

why didn't I find this video literally yesterday. omg thanks so much for this honesty!

[@yvetterodriguez9411]

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.

[@uniqueanartist6792]

Thank you so much for this. I'm in my career stage, where I'm getting more costar auditions, etc.

[@ReeseKate]

I love this. You are enough just as. We are interesting on our own, we are always told make unique choices, but our own background and perspective is unique. Less is more. Need more of this

[@James.473]

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

[@irongirl009]

More acting technique videos, please!! Loved this one. :)

[@HondaImpossible]

Thank you so much!! For sharing!! I never learned any of this in acting/drama class. I appreciate it!!☺️🤗❤️

[@terencarter]

I REALLY loved this one….this really resonated with me 💗

[@zooeymama2]

TY for posting

[@marcellamiller7766]

Haha having helped with casting for a friends' projects, I totally know what you mean by "Just say the words" is all you have to do. Literally say words like humans do every day and you'll nail it. But I totally understand how you can just have the wrong perception of the scene because you really want to do a good job

[@glamazontravels]

This is super helpful

[@karafry4654]

Thank you!! Very helpful and made my nerves relax. :)

[@styledna24]

This is strange only yesterday I did exactly what your saying! But left feeling as if I didn’t do enough however I was a strange calm during the scene. today my agent said I’m not on hold for the role. Perhaps it’s a mix of not being crazy nervous and fear of not doing well.

[@jayboyws5sh]

What this also apply to commercial Roles?

[@zooeymama2]

Love this vid I believe this applies for guest star and series regular auditions. The guts to do nothing

[@glamazontravels]

I love your vernacular

[@HealthyModern]

It was such good tips. Thank you very much, guys. You guys are so cute.

[@ROyalCheeksz]

so glad to see you have a youtube channel ! i love all your webinars ! lol even though i just started From polite season !

[@DaisyTaveras]

SALUD!!! To be Ballsy!! Awesome Advice!! Thankyou..

[@freddylrobinson3751]

Wonderful advice!

[@eugenetswong]

For each of your videos, it would be helpful for me to have you list a few sides that we can use to practise your tips.

[@wendymccolm]

did nothing for the first time today :) we shall see!

[@Jgbrooks2525]

@10:25. But then again....do you really get callbacks for 1- liners anymore? Post-quarantine, we'll be lucky to get a one liner that isn't booked off a self-tape.

[@Jgbrooks2525]

Glad you have this tape up. Great refresher..... and I stand corrected. Apparently they do give callbacks for 1-liners....amid COVID. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@sela930]

I literally just auditioned for a cop role and pretty much treated it like a character on Night Court. I mean...one line. Lol Ok new way of doing it.

[@ingridhubert3649]

Awesome advice and it was right on time. I read more advice from you since you popped up in my feed. I am currently a graduate of Reflect the Dream Acting School and continuing alumni for weekly training of Masterclasses. I always research acting advice from KZbin, online, and Facebook and Instagram. So I will go to your site and sign up. Thanks for your Generosity and support 🙂

[@interestingfacts1376]

What if your audition is a one liner self tape but CD says you're being considered for several roles?

[@davidpatrickgreen5319]

That is something that would rarely happen in the professional world, at least union. It's not something you need to concern yourself with. Just focus on what you are being asked to do and forget everything else that are causing you self-doubt

[@katherinemarsh7429]

Yes it makes sense - For live plays and Events though wouldn't we do more and not do nothing or not?

[@katherinemarsh7429]

Your videos are Great and not boring :)

[@tezzabailey8411]

Oh wow! This is incredible! I've never been told this once in my acting career! Other then you, of course. Looking forward to trying this out! Would it be the same for Australian casting? I know that might sounds silly, but I know some things are different in Australia.

[@GilliMarieMoody]

OMG😳. There were two women’s roles, each with about ten lines. The parts “seemed” small, buti I wouldn’t say that’s how I recited the sides I was asked to, after submitting the self-tape. I sounded more like business presentations, but definitely tried to show range. SIGH. I mean, the self tape was definitely calmer. Cheers.

[@katherinemarsh7429]

Yes I watched Senfield :)

[@katherinemarsh7429]

Pilot season would be Great :)

[@markpalermo8263]

Truth!

[@sarahengland2175]

Love your tips! Thank you 😊

[@TipsOnActing]

Glad you enjoy them, Sarah! :)

[@kemetic_shogun3134]

You have great information. I'm not sure if this is something I should get into. However I made a monologue renactment on my KZbin page. If I can get your opinion it would be Appreciated. 👍

[@thesunshon]

lol thankyou

[@katherinemarsh7429]

OK

[@ktoth29]

TLDR: "Don't Act"

[@katherinemarsh7429]

Meet the Press really :)

[@ttddoogg10]

Wait so most of the roles were white boys and girls why was it like that when you were casting ?

[@katherinemarsh7429]

OK I won't :)

[@katherinemarsh7429]

Under five jogs

[@zehra371]

you look like Laurenzside

[@petradichavich]

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.

[@katherinemarsh7429]

Not so theatrical

[@katherinemarsh7429]

OK I'm ditching the acting

[@katherinemarsh7429]

Someone catches me Oh OK I shall do less :)

[@katherinemarsh7429]

Meditating is doing nothing :)

[@katherinemarsh7429]

Ha Ha Ha
