#Actors Access

[its-your-girl-geekerella]

If you're an actor/actress looking for work...

Join Backstage, StageAgent, Actors Access, or any other casting site. Also, be on social media! Twitter (oops, X), Instagram, and even TikTok sometimes will have casting calls announced.

If you have information about casting in literally ANY area (not talking about high school theatre, obviously), share it! Regional theatre, touring casts, TV show pilots, voice acting, anything!

There are hundreds of actors on Twitter (I'm not calling it X) and Tumblr! We're all in this industry together, and we all know how hard it can be.

To make it easier for people to find casting calls on social media, use the tag #actors helping actors or #actorshelpingactors

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.

Took Lil Buddy to Kings Dominion! He got into the spooky vibes! No more coaster credits for him tho

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.”

It's always interesting to hear about people's weird/unexpected "alternate life paths". Like, something that you could have done with your life, a job you almost took, a school you almost went to, etc - that was still actually realistic enough that it could have happened, but NOW it seems to not suit your current personality.

Like for example, I currently hate advertising (how manipulative it is, brands trying to be 'relatable', social media amplifying it to an obnoxious extreme, etc.) so much that even seeing a little ad before a youtube video is grating to even witness, but there was a point in time where I was genuinely seriously considering going into marketing/making commercials as a career lol. Or like, I have a relative who was very inclined to be a pastor when they were younger, even though today they're a super strong atheist, etc. etc.

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

Yesterday my wife and I were discussing the abject nonsense that is the Designated Survivor tv show (I like trash because it's trash fuck off) and I was talking about like. The motivations and informatics of warfare tactics [some people are War Guys TM because they like nazis, I'm a War Guy TM because I think strategy is a fun way to occupy my brain when it's about a war that already ended] and wifey was just like "Yeah, obviously the Geneva Conventions are just a suggestion" to which I replied "as in all things, I remain unconventional" so now whenever she sees me around the house she points at me and goes "most likely to commit a war crime for fun and profit" AND I CAN'T EVEN ARGUE I DID THIS TO ME
