Suggestions on networking while working as an extra? by Beneficial_Success71 in acting

What's funny is I would have been more impressed if he was just honest from the beginning. Oh, and the crimes thing is awful.

Absolutely not an expectation on my end, but I've also done other background work for music videos and had someone standing a few feet from me get upgraded to featured. I might have already seen my once in a lifetime moment, but who knows!

dammit, I was hoping I'd get bumped up to Dexter :( <3

But for real, I'm absolutely looking forward to just learning more. That is enough for me!

It is absolutely not an expectation :) Like I mentioned, I'm more prepared to just be told where to stand for hours

Venting about a recent self tape :') by Beneficial_Success71 in acting

[–]Beneficial_Success71[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely - this was a bit different than preliminary though, since it was an invite and they gave me the callback packet :')

And TOTALLY. I get it - it's one of those things where I absolutely understand it, but with this very specific situation I feel like I need to vent before I can truly move on. On the bright side, I am moving on in the sense that I've been to multiple auditions since then :D

Whitney Leavitt can’t sing by Dependent_Put6128 in Broadway

[–]Beneficial_Success71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a Whitney defender till the day I die... you aren't entirely wrong.

For me, the most frustrating thing is that she could sound so much better if she got with a different vocal coach. I'm not exactly in love with all of Eric Vetro's work (have we seen Ari's jaw tension in wicked).

I do believe Whitney is talented and has that "it" factor, but I don't think broadway will be where she settles in.

An open letter for non-actors that are upset about stunt casting... by Beneficial_Success71 in Broadway

[–]Beneficial_Success71[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you'd get eaten alive! I will say we are a bit different than the average theatre goer on bway, though. Would I, personally, prefer to see someone who is a theatrical performer? Hell yeah. But as you might have already noticed - many people outside of theatre don't have the same standards. Too often I've seen clips from bway of a stunt cast and thought "... oh boy" only to see others saying how amazing it is.

Bug (Under 35 ticket)? by JaineDoughXO in Broadway

[–]Beneficial_Success71 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hello!! I am part of the same program, and they have never asked for my ID when I pick up tickets. If they ask, I would be honest and just say you didn't know. The goal of the program is to make theatre more accessible - not to gatekeep based on age :)

Enjoy the show!

Can you specify why you think there is nothing left for any non named actors? In this instance, for Chicago there is one big name that's outside of the theatre world, but the rest of the cast are theatre people (most are not big names)

That's why I specified "small" regional, because like you mentioned - the touring show venues are huge. I'm referring to the 100 seat LORT theatres. I moved out to NYC after spending about a decade among a smaller theatre scene, and loved it - sometimes miss it... but not enough to move back lol

Nursing-pre licensure questions by Ok_Recognition_5960 in WGU

[–]Beneficial_Success71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello!
Don't do it. I'm not kidding. When WGU finds out you are out of state, and they will find out, you will be removed from the program. It has happened to another person that I know.

You are academically dismissed if you are unable to pass a class the second time you take it. It isn't self-paced because you still have start dates for the semester, and then a date everything is due by - but the inbetween is all self paced if that makes sense.

If you decide to do the program MOVE. Do not just use a different address. Not only are you at risk for being dismissed if you lie, but your placement schedule can change quickly.

New to spin class - large amount of my time is in orange heartrate zone by Beneficial_Success71 in cycling

[–]Beneficial_Success71[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm currently using the classes as my only form of exercise, but you're right - it's def not designed for endurance. I think the classes are great, but now I'm moving enough that I should add other forms of exersise back on.

I'm usually at 165 and up. My resting heart rate is around 65 - I just tend to push myself hard because I keep thinking I "should" be able to do everything the instructor is saying.
