An Indie Theatre Person Visits Some Casting Sites

It's been a little while since I posted anything on the #casting sites for #acting jobs. I found it kind of unsettling. #theatre

In the past few years, when I’ve made theatre or audio drama, I’ve mostly drawn on people who were already in my circle or in the circle of my circle. This is generally my preferred way of doing things, as it allows me to avoid the more businessy side of the business. (I know it’s show business but for me, it’s art.) But this time, neither my circle nor my circles’ circles were big enough to do…

just a friendly reminder that the "reasonable amount of time" for CC early access is and always has been 2-3 weeks

and here is a post on how to report people abusing the community to EA

Getting really sick of the snarky replies when asking about it too. And the "it takes me a long time" okay, well then go sell your models on a 3d model site. All creators spend time. Your time is not worth more than everyone else's. Making a post about it due to how condescending & disingenuous bostyny's replies to me were, to a simple question, and the fact that she lied about something we can easily confirm by checking the dates on her posts.

and this is her actual early access period, it is not "one month":

Furthermore, I don't know if it was mis-worded or something, but it does not take a month to make one package file.

New bean? Maybe? 👀

If I made an audio description of Aurora, would anyone be interested in joining? Like voice actors or audio producers (I'm fully willing to do the entire thing myself, but it'd be awesome if I didn't have to)

(By audio description: think the kind they use in movies/shows aimed toward blind ppl so they can enjoy it too. That combined with an audiobook. Like that, but for a comic)

Now that people bringing up how condescending Jack can be i lowkey feel like he'd infantilize me as an autistic person. I mean not like i desire that or some kind of play i just think the man would genuinely be patronizing and would feel the need to emotionally pad things for me.

As someone who has trouble catching up on things or needing them specified i can't count how many times I've gotten "Don't worry about it" or "nevermind" instead of people just telling me. I can definitely see Jack doing that but with that added bit of sacchariness.

Or asking him "Hey why do you always feel the need to talk to me when I'm trying to talk to my friends?" And he gives me that "I just don't think they have your best interests in mind" like sir, you are my friend not my mother.

This isn't a vent btw it's kind of something adjacent to a character study. Just examining his character more in my head.

Charlie enjoys having Vox around for a multitude of reasons, but if she's being honest, one of the main ones is that he's one of the few people at the hotel who'll unabashedly indulge her song/dance habit

I made a post abt this on my main but like. its honestly so sad seeing people fully misinterpret Stoick because they never watched Riders + Defenders of Berk

I’m 2 years late to this so I assume I’m the last one on this train, but just in case anyone else is late like me…

Black Sails people, if you’ve not yet witnessed the cinematic masterpiece RRR (2022), consider this your sign to rectify that.

RRR = RISE, ROAR, REVOLT.

Everything about it goes hard as hell. It’s entertaining spectacle with unbelievable stunts and stunning cinematography. But more specifically in this case: HUGE movie for people who love seeing war against British colonialism with the central pillar being the dynamic and queer subtext between friends/enemies/partners.

AND you get Ray Stevenson as a British governor!

Hey wait, are the computers using people’s voices who made a contract with The Eye much like my JonMartin accidental Eye contract theory? 👀

Two young lovers flee into a fairy-filled forest, so begins the tale of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” Except in this production, young Lysander rolls into the woods in a motorized wheelchair and comely Hermia follows with a limp caused by the muscle disorder dystonia.

Soon the stage will be inhabited by sprites, kings and queens, a mischievous pixie named Puck, with a prosthetic leg here and a cane wrapped in ivy there.

Curtain up on the Phamaly Theatre Company’s production of one of William Shakespeare’s most famous plays. Phamaly’s mission is to give talented, disabled performers a chance to trod the boards and play the roles all actors covet.

But to be clear this is theater not therapy, said Ben Raanan, 34, the company’s artistic director. “This isn’t a sweet little thing where the audience goes and claps for the nice disabled people,” he said. “We are trying to create rigorously artistic productions.”

i post abt this regularly but children should not be actors im so serious we do not need nor deserve stories that hire children to perform any amount of labor that also exposes them to the vile industry that is the media and all of its horrifying pedophilic roots and wider audience access. idc how moving or artistic it is, you do not need a movie that has a 9 year old reading emotionally demanding lines that effectively end their innocence to learn. like full stop they just shouldn’t be hiring children to do ANYTHING but i cannot fathom why ANYONE thinks we absolutely must have children on tv and in movies. “for realism” “for art” “for other children to enjoy as an audience” idc!!!!! it’s child labor. it’s emotionally demanding and it’s abusive. it’s never not been abusive. so how about we just dont fucking do that and you ask yourself why you think we as a society “need” children to perform for us in ANY capacity

I really wanted to emphasize his intj stare

[Image description: Digital art featuring Ritsu Kageyama from Mob Psycho 100 in the format of an art meme. At the top of the image is text reading "Draw fanart of a character..." There are two large boxes that take up the majority of the image. The left box is labeled "On-model/as close to canon as possible," and contains two drawings of Ritsu, one in the original black-and-white manga style and the other in the anime style with colors directly picked from anime renders. The right box is labeled "In your style and/or with your headcanons," and contains a painting of Ritsu rendered in more detail than a typical manga panel or anime frame, with painterly shading and slightly more realistic features. His hair is much more detailed with highlights from several different hues and many stray hairs, and his dark eyes have a blue triangle-shaped shine, subtly resembling his aura from the anime. In all drawings, Ritsu is in his middle school uniform with a blue bookbag, with a small but knowing smile. In the manga drawing his arms are at his sides, in the anime drawing his arms are crossed, and in the stylized drawing he is pointing directly at the viewer. Text on the bottom, outside the boxes, reads "That look of pure analyzing coupled with a slight sardonic smile that makes people uneasy." End ID]

“By a scruple of illusion quite proper to a period and a social class too weak both for pure reason and for mythical powers, the intermission audience (evidently bored) declares these unreal faces to be those of ‘town’ and thereby acquires the rationalist good conscience of assuming a man behind the actor; but at the very moment of despoiling the mime, the Harcourt studio summons up a god, and thereby , for this bourgeois public that is both blasé and living on lies, everything is satisfied.

As a consequence the Harcourt photograph is, for the young actor, an initiation rite, a guild diploma, his true professional carte d’identité. Is he properly enthroned if he has not yet encountered the sacred Harcourt Image? This rectangle which first reveals his ideal head, his intelligent, sensitive, or witty expression, depending on the role he offers to life, is the formal document by which the whole of society agrees to separate him from its own physical laws and assures him the perpetual revenue of a countenance which receives as a gift, on the day of this baptism, all the powers ordinarily denied, at least simultaneously, to ordinary flesh: a changeless splendor, a seduction pure of all wickedness, an intellectual power which is not the necessary accompaniment to the ordinary actor’s art or beauty.

Which is why the photographic portraits by Thérèse Le Prat or Agnès Varda, for example, are avant-garde: they always bequeath the actor his fleshly face and enclose it frankly, with an exemplary humility, in its social function, which is to “represent” and not to lie. For a myth as alienated as that of actors’ faces, this choice is quite revolutionary: not to embellish their lobbies with classic Harcourts — titivating, languishing, angelized, or virilized (according to sex) — is an audacity few theatre managers can afford.”
