CAST

Time Traveler - fully cast as of today

Kim Lewis got the part of AUNT CONNIE.

Should I look like my Headshot?

Question of the day: I was happy with my audition recently but i had a question...hope u don't mind. I tried to dress the part - even down to the red necklace character wore. My hair is long so i pulled it back and tried to look like character. Here's the question though - once i start to look more like character, i look less like me. You always say look like your headshot- that's your first promise. Which should i be doing? Look like my headshot or character?

Answer:
-it depends, I know you so in this case it would be for the character.
-if it is for a casting director you have never met probably your headshot.
-for commercial looking amazing, picture perfect.
-if it is a character piece may want to consider having your agent check with casting (ie: heroin addict, street walker, down and out mom etc).

To Toronto or GTA Talent who wish to be considered for my castings.

Tip of the Day

My best advice about memorizing:

You say your lines and the other actor's lines "rote" over and over again - no emotion attached - while doing something else - like tying your shoes, driving in the car, doing the dishes, having a shower. Once you can do it four or five times without stumbling - you are memorized. If you are in the early stages of your acting career, still hold sides in hand as nerves could become the best of you.
