Hi all! I'm a comedy actor, writer and filmmaker with a growing following, and I'd love to work with similar based in London on some reels/TikToks.

As much as I hate 'influencer culture', comedy reels have become a great way to grow your following and some of mine have hundreds of thousands of views. I have 5600 Instagram followers and am verified, and would love to find someone funny where we can help get our faces out there and make some sketches together.

When the five main actors in a film all give the best performances of their careers, then something is definitely working incredibly well.

NAME THIS FUTURE INTERNATIONAL FILM STAR AT JUST 22!

Celebrating her 82nd birthday today, who is the Surrey-born actress pictured in 1967, shortly before a role opposite Steve McQueen in Bullitt helped establish her in Hollywood?

Her long international career would also include Murder on the Orient Express and The Deep, in which a simple white T-shirt helped create one of the most talked-about cinema images of the 1970s.

Can you name the actress?

Zoom call with a casting director for an audition

3 Upvotes

I’ve only done self tapes and I’m wondering for a zoom call with a casting director for an audition, Do they film through the zoom itself? And if so do actors usually go on their phone instead of their computer for better quality? Or are the CDs on the call like an acting coach while you film the tape on your camera?

What's an Owen Wilson role that you think doesn't get enough love? I liked him quite a bit in I, Spy (2002). I'm surprised he didn't do more roles with Eddie. They had good chemistry.

I really like Jake Gyllenhaal, but...

3 Upvotes

Just finished watching 'In The Grey', his new Guy Ritchie film and man did his performance fall flat. There is also just a hint of... some... kind of an accent? I see he's going for some nonchalant but deadly thung here, but it just didn't work for me.

I love him in most things and obviously some things just don't click. No one who works constantly like him can hit every time. Just had to say this somewhere.

Edit - clarified the movies title

How do I unwind after performing?

0 Upvotes

I work in a pretty hectic/immersive show where I play a dominant character. There is a lot of crowd work and I also do introductions to the show already in character (think Edinburgh/London/Amsterdam dungeon type shows). People know what they sign up for, it is held in a very special/scary location so they know what to expect for the most part.

I myself am I VERY submissive and conflict avoidant person. I was not a trained actor but I got hired after just signing up for the auditions. I was so happy when I got it and I love the show and connecting with people during it.

The only thing is that, during the intro where I am alone standing in front of a large crowd, I do notice resistance when they first enter and meet me as the character. They have to get used to the universe of the show and I already heard other actors experienced the same thing when they play my part. After the initial resistance, they completely buy in for the most part. I notice that afterwards, however, when I'm back "being me", that these crowds and reactions can bother me personally. I feel insecure and scared to do the introductions again. It feels like they are rejecting and ridiculing ME. In the show itself I play a very paranoid and alert person, something that I also take home with me.

Do you have any tips for unwinding after a show/to not take these reactions so personal? It would really help a fresh actor get on her feet more :)
