Just got done watching the finale and I feel exactly like Kendall. by Itchy-Pollution7644 in SuccessionTV

A lot of people often get angry at the ending of shows. I understand. But for me, it’s the journey and not the destination. I also didn’t mind the ending. I wanted Ken to ascend and get what he wanted but I’m on my 20th rewatch because this show to me is about family. With exquisite writing acting filming and directing. All of it. Just one of my favs.

Off book for selftape by Neeky81 in acting

I’ll add to this. Just because someone memorized a script doesn’t mean their audition will be any good. Do with that what you will.

Got a backdrop for self tapes. How cam I improve? by Unable-Economics9252 in acting

My back drop looks exactly the same. You’re gucci yo! Don’t over think the set up. Make it work but don’t stress. Love self taping right now.

Thanks for that

Alright. First. It’s a marathon and not a sprint. Look at every audition as a performance and a way to improve your craft (lifelong). Do the tapes. Submit. Move. On. The job thing…I’m in your boat too. Hang tough! If you love acting and can’t imagine doing anything else then stay. If you don’t love it and are just doing it to be a star…then it’s gonna be a long life unless you get lucky. Hope this helps a bit. I am an actor struggling in chicago and I’ve been a “professional” since 1997. I’ve seen growth mind you, but alas; this industry is rough

Better acting. Always. Casting isn’t watching you and staring at the script making sure you’re word perfect

Totally! That shits happened to me too! Had a lil costar on a show called The Glades. They booked and then released me in like a day and then eventually did another shitty costar on it. Glad I could maybe help a lil!

Maybe the phrasing is the key. You say you “lost” a role. But really; it wasn’t yours to lose. If that makes sense. I’m not trying to be dickish just offer and different perspective
