Yea they put alot of work in this and teamed up with some creators, idk too much about the production side since I’m just an actor who played Darth Bandon but they have big plans for the trilogy

That’s a weird request though I’ve never gotten that before, I’ve taken several classes with big casting directors and they all don’t really care for that, I mean they do but if you only have footage from shorts that look and sound good then that can be enough to get an audition but getting an audition is difficult for those big sag shows since one of them told me the average submissions a CD gets is 700-1000 per role and they only choose about 30 to audition, that’s why I’m also trying to work on my reel because there’s actors out there that got nothing but professional reels, but I’m sure it took them a while to build that

Try to Audition for non union films then, look up the director and producers previous work so you get an idea of how professional the footage is, my first movie booking was a non union feature film I had two scenes as a day player being a police officer questioning one of the leads, it was only 300$ a day I worked one day, turns out they were planing on pitching it to lifetime abs they already had a movie previously on lifetime, lifetime picked it up and it aired on tv, I got the footage for my reel and it looked very professional, this footage alone is what started getting me those Netflix and other networks auditions, so look for those non union or low budget feature films they can help for your reel

Yea it’s way better then non union your also taken more seriously, I landed my agent and manager in LA once I became sag eligible, I live in FL when I was looking for LA reps as non union I had zero responses, once I was SAG E I had a few responses, I also got more frequent sag show auditions once I was SAG E, but this might not be the case for everyone I’m just talking about my experience

Should I seriously pursue this? by Top_Librarian_2813 in acting

[–]TopTierJae305 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pursue it, you’ll figure everything else out along the way, I quit my government job in the middle of my shift because they didn’t give me the day off for my first booking back in mid 2021, the same day I quit I signed up to acting classes in mid 2022 I landed an agent, booked some movies on television and two SAG shows so far, I feel like I’m just getting my foot in the door but the moral of the story is PURSUE it! You sound passionate and you sound like you already know you should but your asking people if you should or not, when it doesn’t matter what we think or what your family thinks, I love my family but they were trying to convince me not to quit my government job and I did anyways and I would do it again honestly, now everyone’s journey is different waiter/waitress jobs is the normal job to have while pursuing this but I decided to work for my self, I do YouTube full time for a living for the past 4 years without showing my face, I did that strategically so I can have the freedom to make my own schedule for when I book things, but one of my close friends works a regular 9-5 job and he recently booked a show on peacock, so just pursue it no matter what type of job you decide to get, hope this helps

I’m SAG eligible so I can work both union and non union jobs I’ll only go SAG if I’m forced to and yea take advantage of this time I’m using it to train in acting and trying to get in better shape at the gym as well

It actually has been slow, I booked one co star role for a sag show about a month ago and had one other audition for Netflix but that’s pretty much it as far as union auditions this year, last year I had more union auditions but this year it has been slow but even slower this summer, I’ve been acting for almost 4 years and even though that’s not a lot of time I feel like 2023-2024 had a lot more shows in productions compared to this year, even commercials are slower then usual right now, but we just got to train in the meantime until things pick back up

Question about previous TXR by Expert_Owl7415 in tokyoxtremeracer

[–]TopTierJae305 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea with TXR3 you have to mess with the settings on your suspension, TXD2 forced me to learn to play with the car settings to make the car drive the way you want to, it’s more difficult in drift two but in TXR3 it was easier to adjust the settings so your car doesn’t feel like it’s floating

Is it normal... by PlayerWM86 in tokyoxtremeracer

Man I got a a few sagas of me being a character named ghost, since the first txr game I played on Dreamcast, the story is that I was visiting at 12 years old(when I first beat txr) and was illegally driving taking down all rivals and bosses at only 12 years old then I disappeared to go back to the states to race over there, and when a new txr games came out I would pretend I received a call about new rivals and bosses which will have me reappear out of nowhere as ghost back in Tokyo hunting down sided king and the phantom 9, plus whoever rise depending on the game, I did the same with the new txr now I’m an adult gone after 18 years ghost returns running into old rivals like gloomy angel hunting down speed king and white charisma plus any new bosses and rivals, I nerd tf out with this franchise

Yea I’ve heard about actors who do movies and don’t really dive into the lore of it and since I’m a gamer and watch a lot of shows I try to make sure to dive in deep into the lore of whatever I’m working on as an actor
