If you want to know a verifiable way to get more auditions, grab your notebook for Part Two of my interview with Blair Hickey and Brian Wold, the Co-Founders of CastingAbout and Consultants for Breakdown Services.
I locked them in a Zoom room and forced them to tell me ALLLLLL THE INSIDER SECRETS of how actors can make themselves unforgettable on Actors Access… and there were just too many juicy takeaways for one episode.
In this episode, we dive deeper into how to create and maintain those strong relationships with casting directors – especially now that those relationships are 90% online.
HERE ARE THE TOP 3 INSIDER TAKEAWAYS
- We all know that “booking the room” is more important than booking the job, but B&B tell us exactly how to use this power to turn into repeat success
- Why you must tell YOUR story while also serving the story of the script – When you don’t do this you leave auditions on the table and stay firmly planted in the callback-only zone
- Yes, technology has changed the way the industry works, but your job stays the same, so don’t fall into the trap of distractions
Brian Wold has over three decades of experience in public relations, marketing and business communications. Blair Hickey has been a working actor for almost 30 years (The Big Bang Theory, NCIS: LA, Heroes). Combining their skills and expertise, Blair and Brian created CastingAbout, the online casting and production guide for professional actors. In 2009, CastingAbout was acquired by Breakdown Services, where both continue to work as consultants.
