170. Blog from 2018 Fact Check: "Little Acting Admin Tasks We Forget About"

Today I wanted to share a little bit of my thoughts on the recent Casting Director controversy, as well as fact check my old blog post from 2018. Titled, "Little Acting Admin Tasks We Forget About", this is a blog I wrote about actor homework given to me at the time by my then-coach Brian Patacca. It was all based around making sure I had everything up-to-date and accurate on my end, to make it easier for casting and reps to find me. But a lot has changed in these 5 years, and the things we have to do now to keep up may not be the same as they were. So join me as I fact check myself and see what I got right and what I disagree with now. 00:00 — Intro 01:05 — The Casting Director Self Tape Controversy 06:33 — Reacting to My Blog 08:20 — "Little Acting Admin Tasks We Forget About" 11:30 — Task #1 16:23 — Task #2 17:30 — Task #3 18:00 — Task #4 22:50 — Final Reflections Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Little Actor Admin Tasks We Forget About Deadline Article: "SAG-AFTRA Scolds Casting Offices For Charging For Audition Tapes: “It Is An Optical And Ethical Disaster” by Lynette Rice and David Robb Request Credits from IMDb Backstage 2012 Article: Casting Workshop Crackdown by Dan Holloway OBA 10.5 -  Actor, Comedian, and Improv Queen Dana Powell on How the Pandemic Changed the Game Watch the Full-Length Video Podcast Here -------- Want more?
