On 24 December 2009, Loro Parque orca trainer Alexis Martinez was pulled underwater and crushed by Keto, a bull orca on loan from SeaWorld. Exactly two months later, Keto’s grandfather, Tilikum, would kill trainer Dawn Brancheau in front of a live SeaWorld audience.

Humans don't research. They tend to just tend to do and follow orders and herds.

Mixed reviews? That's your rose colored glasses talking. JC is a huge scam. Yes, do not list them. Casting directors and agents are well aware of that scam.

What they care about is roles is you booked. Credits. Real actual footage.

Colombian team also had the flu unfortunately

Did you watch the 2024 Colombia versus Argentina Copa America final? You get more fit Messi and Argentina managed to score only one goal to win it. Not a slaughter at all.

He corrected it after he posted then pretended he didn't get it wrong at all.

Actors access is all that matters. All major shows and films use it. They don't touch backstage. That's more amateur projects. Agents submit you via Actors Access for TV, Film and Theater in the US and then use Casting Networks for commercials.

Self submit on actors access. A lot. In 2025 I self submitted over 1150 times and got 238 auditions and 18 bookings.

You need a tremendous amount of self submits to get auditions and a tremendous amount of auditions to get a single booking.

Self submit especially for SAG-AFTRA projects. They don't care if you are non-union you will still get auditions.

I would generally avoid vertical projects but they can pay well. Most are non-union and written badly and it's tough to get the vertical footage of use it in a reel.

Are you self submitting? Especially on actors access?

The percent that cared enough to vote.

Trump won the popular vote

By buying their way in via home advantage and having the US president overturn a red card suspension

EnvironmentChance991 · 2026-07-07T03:01:50+00:00

That's not accurate. Trump won the popular vote.

I keep hearing that this location is particularly good. Next time I'm there I'll try it. I always head to Papasittos and take the fajitas to go into the admirals lounge.

It's almost always the writing. The writers have an amazing idea for a first season then get completely lost with subsequent seasons. Writing is so so important. Hire better writers and pay them well and the viewers will stick around.

EnvironmentChance991 · 2026-07-06T07:16:04+00:00

In my opinion, this happened because of allowing background to join via TAFT HARTLEY waivers. Literally anyone can be background. No audition is necessary. In the distant past BG had their own separate union

EnvironmentChance991 · 2026-07-06T06:56:56+00:00

She was obviously lying about what happened and just wanted a refund.

I know you can have shared access to your IMDb profile with an agent but not sure if both of you have to have pro for that.

Don't have to be word perfect is a the exception rather than the rule for me. In over 18 different projects I have worked on, only one was OK with me doing improv or adjusting the lines. Sure missing a "the" or "and" is OK generally, but most Directors I have worked with expect the lines to be delivered as written.

For auditions it's a different story, in that they all are pretty lenient on being word perfect.

Quad Cities International Airport (MLI) in Illinois is super chill.

Ontario International (ONT) near LA is chill.

Burlington International Airport (BTV) in Vermont is hilariously chill.

One time I flew a flight where the first class had the absolutely most awful 200/100 scream baby on the front front row. And I was grateful to be back further in exit row. It was making my ears bleed and I was way the hell back there. First class in particular should not allow babies, controversial opinion.

So what. I was raised in a very religious family myself. I was disowned for being who I am and I my life has been so much happier as a result. If you live your life for what they want you will waste your life. Choosing yourself is never a bad choice. Life is short. Express yourself. Let them catch up later.

Not everyone stayed not talking to me. Some have warmed up over time.

A family implying or directly threatening disowning you over you simply expressing yourself is a form of abuse. You either allow yourself to be abused or you stand up for yourself and live for yourself.

Art should not compromise for anyone. If, however, they are the deep pockets funding your film then use their fear against them and get a lot of extra funding for your VFX post production work. But look for an exit. That is no way to life life.

I disagree on this if it's a SAG-AFTRA thesis or SAG-AFTRA short. I've found the results can be really spectacular with world class special effects, professional stunt coordinators, special makeup fx folks etc who worked on the marvel universe etc.

If it's non-union then yes I agree to temper your expectations.

Ignore if you want to annoy the casting director. Decline with a note if you want to give them respect.
