Thanks for the invitation to connect, Angela! Love Seattle, been there once and it was sun shiny the one week I was there. I was speaking to a person (stranger) who lives in Seattle. I said, I had heard that it rained all the time here and this person said " It is because you are here (me) and thanked me for bringing the sun to Seattle. I thought it was so sweet and I never for got that!

Greetings Angela, thank you for the invitation to your network. Happy to connect with you here & I hope to have the opportunity to work with you in the future.

Dear Actors, I am an actor myself but once I started producing, I have been doing more casting. I am the casting director on a TV pilot, which I just finalized the whole cast. Here are a few tips to make sure you stand out in the room and help get you that callback and possibly cast. EASY REMINDERS (but you'd be surprised)... •Bring a headshot/resume •KNOW the shoot dates and if you have conflicts •If we provided a full script to your agents, READ IT •Leave your baggage in your car (literally and emotionally) WISDOM NUGGETS •If I ask you if you have any questions, don't spit off 20 questions just to try and chat •If you truly have questions about character, try to get that answered from your agent BEFORE getting in the casting room. That way you can come in PREPARED •When you come in there room, be frequently but go straight to your mark. No handshakes or hugs •Be prepared, make strong choices based on the sides and script (if provided) •Do your work and drop the mic and go. I want to see you in the moment and when you leave, still be thinking about what you did •THIS IS YOUR TIME. Connect to your reader (even if they give you nothing) and take control of the room •ACTIVE LISTENING. I have to see what you do in the UNspoken moments even more so than the spoken ones ALWAYS •Breathe •Be Yourself •Have Fun •Be Mighty Angela DiMarco aka Mama DiMarco Actor, Producer, Acting Coach and Casting

Hi Angela. I'm RB, Founder and CEO of Stage 32. As a screenwriter, producer, actor and filmmaker, I know first-hand the challenges all creatives face finding work, landing representation, launching projects, securing funding and simply making the connections that will make a difference in their careers. That's why I created Stage 32. Since our launch in September of 2011, the community has grown to 1,000,000+ members representing every country on the planet making Stage 32 the social network uniquely populated with the most creative people on Earth.

This is a network for you, built by you. Like most things in life, the more you participate, the greater the rewards. We ask all new members to pay it forward by inviting 5 fellow creatives to the network and by spreading the word of Stage 32 through other social media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. The more creatives, the stronger the network. The stronger the network, the more opportunities.

Thanks for joining the movement and for being a part of this most talented and inspiring community. I very much look forward to your contributions.

Thanks, and have a creative day!

RB
