I’ve noticed throughout my career, my preferred Acting Techniques have changed…
In college I was taught more on the Stanvislosky /Meisner technique. Once I graduated college I found myself leaning completely into Meisner’s technique but for the past 3 years, I’ve been studying the Chubbuck technique...

You've found the perfect casting call that aligns perfectly with your acting style. You submit your materials, and now they’ve asked for a self-taped audition. How do you prepare to deliver your best performance? Let's hear your tips and strategies!
Using good lighting, know your lines, keep the background simple
Rhoda Blue Thanks for sharing. What steps do you take to get into character beyond nailing lines?
Hope this post doesn’t make you hungry. I watched a limited series last night (The Madness on Netflix – incredible series!) where the main character was eating pizza and drinking, and I thought about this. Are there any techniques that actors use when eating and drinking in scenes so the food/drink doesn’t get in the way of performing?
You don't really eat
Hi, Suzanne Bronson. What do you mean?
Fake it. every actor has a different technique. When you're starting out, I think all actors probably really eat the food, but after having to multiple takes eating the samething, you find a way to ma...

Ah ok, Suzanne Bronson. I didn't think about actors having to do multiple takes. Thanks for sharing the techniques!

I like in person better. They get to talk to you and give direction. It’s more personal.
I prefer to do auditions in person. I get direction and feedback from the casting agent. And I often get a sense of whether I've done a good audition (regardless of whether I book the job or not). It'...

Thank you all for your great ideas and comments. I agree that getting information and notes from a casting director always gives us more to play with during an audition. And, I love doing self-tapes s...

Honestly - it really all just depends on your location/region. As top agencies/production may not have much available or going on. If you're fortunate enough to live in a metro like L.A. NYC etc. then...

First reactions to Chalamet’s work in the film have been effusive, with some calling it “the performance of the year.”
The trailer is officially out and included at the bottom of this Deadline article! What are your thoughts community, are you excited to see this performance?

Hey guys, as you know I just got approved for representation. I need to upload an acting reel for my resume. I put one together with all the projects that I've done. I would love some critique. Clip order? Maybe remove one of the clips? Should the duration be longer or shorter than 1:44? I would jus...

Hey Jack, this is Suzanne from the Stage 32 team. I just wanted to let you know I moved your post from Your Stage to Acting, as it fits much better there. Let me know if you have any questions, and al...

The clip around 1:15 with the emotional performance was the strongest part of your reel—really well done! Do you have any speaking dialogue from that scene? I’d love to see more of it. That said, the first couple of clips with the cursing felt a bit off-putting.
hey guys! do you know the best representation agencies for acting and commercial roles in Michigan (Lansing and Detroit)?
I’ve contacted a few, but I’m yet to find my ideal agency. let me know which ones you know of!
StarBound in Toledo, Ohio is great. It's not to far from Detroit.
You can go to SAG AFTRA Website and they will list the SAG franchised agencies

I really enjoyed this video of Andrew breaking down his most iconic roles and not just talking about the basics of the projects, but getting into detail about his process and approach for roles that challenged him.
Did any of these insights surprise you? Do you have similar or different approaches to...
