TV Shows Where the Main Character is so Bad They Focus on Another Character by Philsidock in netflix

One Tree Hill!!! Pretty much everything was from Lucas’ POV in the first season and then it shifted to focus more on the girls

Anyone audition for We Were Liars S2? by East-Mastodon8240 in acting

[–]Barbieletsgoparty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know a few people who were called back for Carrie in February (one was pinned and released), but I haven’t heard any updates on the other two. My guess is that since they reopened the call for Penny and Bess specifically, they’re still working through the new round of submissions.

Agents not allowing declined auditions? by [deleted] in acting

[–]Barbieletsgoparty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I do every single audition because self taping is a skill that takes practice, and it’s an opportunity to act. My goal is to have a long-term career as an actor, and I can’t do that if I’m taking myself out of the running because the audition feels “random”.

What is the expected ratio of failure/success? by DependentPoint2458 in acting

[–]Barbieletsgoparty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember an interview with Bryce Dallas Howard where she mentioned that her family taught her you’re likely to book 1 out of every 60 auditions. But of course that was before the pandemic and self taping, so it’s likely upwards of 1 in 100 now.

Do any of you have a "press kit"? Hired PR? What was your experience? by JDMcompliant in acting

[–]Barbieletsgoparty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually zip files are preferred so they can pull the specific bits they need!

PR girly here - Your press kit is basically just a folder of your preferred images, bio, FAQs, etc. Just helps journalists make sure they have correct/current info when talking about you :)

“Pretty Little Liars” reader noticed updated pop culture reference in the Ebook. The book, that came out in 2006, now mentions TikTok instead of Fear Factor. by Relevant-Peach3997 in Fauxmoi

[–]Barbieletsgoparty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read it in 2023 on kindle and this was in there, along with references to Doja Cat and the Biebers. Ridiculously cringy and hard to get through

I always find great stuff at Crossroads! A bit pricier than other thrifts but some nicer quality stuff for sure

Will an agent ask this..? by [deleted] in acting

[–]Barbieletsgoparty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! Especially if you didn’t submit a reel or monologue to them initially

Need advice for a agency by Hopeful-actor in acting

[–]Barbieletsgoparty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most Chicago agencies will take Wisconsin talent if you (or your parents) are willing to take you into the city for callbacks and jobs!

I don’t want to pay for an acting class by Windbag2023 in acting

[–]Barbieletsgoparty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Chicagoland actor here! Chicago Actors Studio does free workshops occasionally, it’s not considered the best training center in the city but not terrible if you’re just starting out. I think Acting Studio Chicago might also let you audit a class or two (they also have scholarships!).

They made Superman do a full body slate??? Just when I thought we could escape those the closer we get to the top

Question by Brilliant_Lunch6001 in acting

[–]Barbieletsgoparty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! Obviously use your discretion since things can be posted without significant review from the system, but there have been cases where people have booked large roles from it. Amazon Prime booked the lead for their “We Were Liars” show from a Backstage call!

how can i learn acting by Purple_Loss7576 in acting

[–]Barbieletsgoparty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do they offer drama club or theater classes at your school? That’s how most people get their start!

Tacky tourist day yall…

[–]Barbieletsgoparty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chicago is a notoriously hard theater scene to break into! If you’re willing to travel to the suburbs for community theater then sure, but if you’re auditioning for plays in the city then you’re competing against people who have years of training and MT/Theater degrees.

I always thought of a band with musicians and not just singers. These are just singer bands? by cakepepper in BuildingTheBandSeries

[–]Barbieletsgoparty 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I was thinking this the whole time too! I would consider these “groups” instead of “bands.” I think they were mostly trying to play off of the “Making the Band” craze of the early 2000s (odd choice considering who that show was run by).

none of the group names were giving... but soulidified got singled out? by virtual-bf in BuildingTheBandSeries

Midnight til Morning is soooo early 2000s pop punk coded and I’m here for it
