We were guests in a Zoom acting class last night. Students were from across the country AND Canada. It was such a joy to meet new actors, celebrate the work they’ve done, and offer our expertise as one of the longest running taping services.

This week's video from The Scuttlebutt addresses the complicated question of when to join the union if you live in a right-to-work state like Georgia (and many of the Southeastern states). Link to the full video in the comments...

So this sound byte was part of our video addressing the dreaded tell me about yourself videos that are becoming more ubiquitous. Full video on our YouTube channel (linked below in comments).

In this week’s Scuttlebutt video, we tackle every actor’s desire, nay obsession, to achieve the perfect audition. From the response so far, the way we approach the topic will get you thinking about your process in a new way. I’ll put the link to the full video in the comments below...

FYI due to our back-to-back Sam Christensen weekend intensives, we will be closed 1/22 (tomorrow), 1/25, as well as 1/29 and 2/1. We apologize in advance. We'll be busy changing lives! (well, careers for sure)

How much physicality is appropriate in auditions? Do you have to honor every word in the stage directions lest you be disqualified??? Watch the whole video on our YouTube channel (link in comments).

Today we explore a super cool concept borrowed from sales and marketing. When applied to acting, it can possibly make your callbacks and on-set experiences run much smoother! Check the comments below for the YouTube link.

Too often we either set irrational goals for the year, or get too passive and just hope things fall into our laps. Be sure to watch our full video on our YouTube channel (linked in comments).

Actors: In a rut? Sometimes your routines, which started out as healthy, can become impediments. We’ll link the full video in the comments. And we shook up OUR routine by having Brooke lead the discussion this week.

Attention Actors! We're doing a thing on Saturday, 1/9/21 over Zoom. For only $20.21 (get it?), we're going to spend 3 hours going over a ton of helpful topics to give your career a "Tune-Up". And we will answer YOUR burning questions! Read the attached flyer, and if you want to snag a spot, you can head to our website: http://www.get-taped.com/get-ready.html... We announced this privately to our Scuttlebutt subscribers on Monday, so some of the spots are already taken.

We've all had those audition scripts where one or more lines are written to be "off screen". How have you handled that in the past? We dive into several scenarios, showing multiple sample takes to explore what works best. A huge thanks to Steven Reddington for his cameo this week! Link to full video will be in the comments, but if you already subscribed, you would've seen it by now ;)

We’re not talking about makeup or wardrobe here. Instead, we’re getting into the relationship between the actor and the camera lens. Full video (as always) on our YouTube channel, which will be linked in the comments.

HOLIDAY HOURS: We will be closed from 12/19/20-1/3/21. We apologize in advance...
