Hey there, hero!

Wow. That’s dark.

A BTS look at my updated audition background, and why I chose to simplify my look.

(I’ll likely be back to the bricks next episode.)

But why the severe change? Because I look for any distraction from my acting and try my best to remove it. And I do it so that all the casting director has to pay attention to…is my acting.

That’s it.

So…what have you been adding to your look or sound or writing that you might want to let go of? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero!

The perfect server not only gives you great service…

…they are actually nowhere to be found when they aren’t needed.

Ever notice that?

It’s an art and skill to know when you’re needed and when you’re not - and that applies to us when we’re auditioning and pursuing the work.

I have some thoughts, and how to make our “level of appropriate service” rival that of our fave bartender, hair cutter or customer service rep.

Care to share any experiences you’ve had with that perfect service worker? Or how you’ve been able to master that appropriate level of service when auditioning? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero!

A marketing mashup…what the heck is that?

It’s what I call those quick little phrases that give someone a clear idea of your creative essence: who you are, how you sound, what kind of characters you play…that sort of thing.

What’s my marketing mashup? “Paul Giamatti meets Uncle Fester.” Simple. Direct. To the point.

And maybe, for all the profiles and bios and headlines and signatures you’re asked to create in our business, maybe you could use one. Heck, maybe you already have one.

Either way, let’s arrive at one, and if you would, post it in a comment below, and include your headshot if appropriate.

So…what’s your marketing mashup?
