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!

Expand commentThank 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 so I have the option of doing a few takes. My hope is that if they liked my self-tape, they can always give me notes during a live callback.
Francis, having to travel in bad weather to an audition is another reason why shooting the audition from my home makes life much better. I used to travel 4 to 4.5 hours each way going to auditions in New York. That commute is not missed by me.
Thank you all again for your wonderful comments. I hope everyone subscribes and clicks the notification bell on my channel so you have easy access to my free 500 + videos and will always know when a new video has been uploaded.
Please share the Channel link with all of your actor friends.

Expand commentHonestly - 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 onsite may be a given. Esp if you have an agent. For those who don't (for any of varying reasons) then self-taping/submissions are the beat
Frankly I'm grateful for self-taping/submissions as it allows you the opp of getting a little creative in your own space, when you don't have an agent's office or other filming ground.

Expand commentThank you, Leanette. I saw your bio. Wow, you do so many different things. I agree. In some markets casting directors are allowing some people to audition in their studios. I also have been given the option to audition live virtually. In the past, Sometimes I have driven, anywhere from 6 to 12 hours each way to audition. So, even though I do miss having the notes given to me during an audition by the casting director, I love taking my time, trying out a few different ideas and upload the take I like the most. And, spend the rest of my day doing other acting related things.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts here.
