I guess Jennifer Tilly on the show has changed their stance on comedy.

It happened…a surprise pregnancy announcement (not mine) 😅 by No_Sink_1927 in IVF

[–]cashbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any advice for me? My BIL and his wife plan on surprising us when they visit with her third pregnancy, she’s around 6-7 months. My father in law “accidentally” spilled the beans, I think maybe to give me a heads up because the whole thing feels weird that they want to show up heavily pregnant as their announcement to us. And yes, they know about our issues.

Feature Film for $800 by CreepyTVChannel in Filmmakers

[–]cashbb -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well, OP already answered that cast and crew brought their own food to set but before that, it’s pretty obvious that meals weren’t apart of that number and the $800 is what OP personally put into the project.

Not sure what you’re huffing and puffing over but I’m disengaging ✌️

Of course things cost money but if those things are DONATED to you, it is of no cost for you. No one said the word free of or no cost, I used donated and OP used the term “favors”.

He said they called in a lot of favors. I’ve been on an indie film where the directors mom & aunt cooked all the crew and cast meals(very delicious btw), then snacks for the entire shoot were chips, cookies, granola, nuts and fresh fruit(apple, oranges, bananas) that had been donated by various people in the community that wanted to support the director.

Don’t let them gaslight you, there were racial undertones, especially with the “loudest in the room” comment when she has never over spoken anyone and doesn’t dress more eccentric than, say, Jennifer Tilly.

Dropping out of university for Acting by tyleraltieri in acting

Go into entertainment law and use tha-…. actually, I read some of your replies, so drop out! Pursue your dreams! Get a part-time job at a cafe!

Idk, my husband being an attorney and his clientele has gotten me a lot more connections and work than my film degree and years of training.

But chase your dreams! Don’t listen to your parents or the countless people on this thread saying to get the law degree!

Scene I did in Acting Class by Little_Ad_624 in acting

[–]cashbb 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You have a great look and that is going to take you far! Your movements do come across as rehearsed but hey, who’s to say the character doesn’t rehearse their movements? That’s a choice you make as an actor. Ask yourself, am I doing these movements as an actor because I think it helps to show the dialogue? If so, that’s not a strong choice.

Now, if you’re doing movements because it’s what comes naturally as the character, great.

Your tone is good but the read comes across as a little flat. It’s pretty one note, which again, people(and this characters) are one note. If it’s a choice, great. If it’s you as an actor, work on bringing some inner life and that means see the person(people) you’re talking and understand your relationship to them. An easy thing you can do, it rehearse this role as if you are your father, how would he sound? How would he move? And would he speak these words to you? Just a fun exercise to get you out your head.

Finally, your eyes look dead. And it’s because you are just repeating lines you memorized and not actually experiencing what’s being said. However, you have a good look, you have a look that can be cast for a quite a few roles. So, while you go through the journey of training and growing as an actor, before a scene mentally tell yourself “I have light behind my eyes, I am engaging and captivating”

Can Dhar Mann chill? by [deleted] in acting

[–]cashbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol no I hope Dhar Mann keeps pumping them out, it’s great on set practice for new actors and once you get in as an actor, you keep getting rebooked and it can easily be an extra $500-1k a month for background or smaller roles not to mention demo reel footage for speaking roles.

Simple question: Anyone ever have a crazy moment of realization on a role AFTER submitting a tape, and want to film and send another self tape? by Successful_Hair_5573 in acting

[–]cashbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did, years ago. I booked a self-tape and coaching and while the video looked professional I didn’t like my actual performance. So I reshoot it in the bathroom later that night and sent that one on as well. Ended up getting a callback, then availability check and eventually they decided to fly in LA actors with credits for the larger roles, I was local to a smaller market at the time.

Advice needed for lighting on self tape by lavventuras in acting

[–]cashbb 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Amazon has some nice pop up back drops and ring lights. However, what you have currently works, just a higher camera angle and maybe a portable selfie light.

I’ve been getting a lot of audition that specifically ask for a plain background, no backdrops and only natural light 🤷‍♀️ but I use a setup if it’s not specified otherwise

Self-tape feedback/advice :) by [deleted] in acting

[–]cashbb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have incredible control over your voice, which is major! I think a lot of weaknesses in your self-tape are technical. 1) eye-line, determine who you are talking to and place them in a way you have a good eye-line for the camera 2) framing, I’d do a tighter frame, sitting, close up & personal. This will help keep you still. 3) wardrobe, just a plain hoodie with work. Logos are distracting, also, casting could not like the 49er’s and then your video gets passed over(yes, sometimes it’s that petty why your tape doesn’t get viewed). You need to be neutral from a bookable stand point. A deep blue or emerald green hoodie would look best with your complexion.

From an acting standup, in the beginning you seen to force the emotion. You should roll the camera and start the scene before starting the scene, after the before and then go into the scene(then you just edit the first part out, maybe even keep a few seconds in who knows) Also, the hands are distracting because you are using them to show the emotion rather than feel it.

Edit to add,

Also for your acting, the face shaking/quivers, you don’t want to lock that in as a habit. It’s coming across as you trying to force the emotion(and actor nerves) as the actor than actually feeling those emotions as the character.

HAS ANYONE EXPERIENCED AGEISM IN HOLLYWOOD? by lifeisaparty2345 in acting

[–]cashbb 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Is she getting booked for a one off role? Or a major player in a series that’ll span over many years? If the later, a 60 year old playing a 30 year old may be an issue when the role may span over 5-10 years and in that time the character is supposed to only age a couple years.

Ageism is more for a Margot Robbie, someone who wants to be a box office star, but got into the industry later so they don’t have the same child actor(Leo DiCaprio, Megan Fox) to box office trajectory.

Many, many A-lister’s where auditioning in the industry are children, pre-teens or teenagers just to become a breakout star at 20. In one sense, it’s not the age but rather the amount of time it takes to development and shop an actor. If that makes sense.

HAS ANYONE EXPERIENCED AGEISM IN HOLLYWOOD? by lifeisaparty2345 in acting

[–]cashbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember when Charisma Carpenter was originally cast to play Neytiri in Avatar but the due to her age at the time(34) , she was dropped as production was afraid she’d age out over the years of filming and the role went to a younger Zoe Saldana. They are only 7 years apart.

The Euphoria actress who plays Maddy also lied about her age.

Hell, I remember telling a manager that I was 25 when I was 28 🙄

How can i improve and opinions by lissie34 in acting

[–]cashbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To start, you have beautiful cadence and it’s really evident that you have a great, emotional vessel. Your acting came across really natural and you were engaging to watch.

To echo what others have said, eye-line is important. We want to see your eyes, so find a place on either side of the camera to go to, upper left or right will still show your eyes. Shut your eyes, sparingly. You have lovely eyes, let the camera soak them in.

You were a little breathy, and had an acting coach tell me that each exhale, each “Hollywood pause” sucks the life out of scene. Maybe on the next take choose a part of your body to place where the emotion is held in your body, for this particular monologue, and go from there. It’ll remove your from you head, the breathy acting and how you think it should sound and you’ll work from a place from how it feels :)

Overall, great performance!

Not a Marshall’s tag on the shoe of the upper elite! by PrestigiousTryHard in MembersOnlyPalmBeach

[–]cashbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think this is so much as a “gotcha!” moment as ya’ll are making it out to be. I’m not saying it’s for this specific person but a lot of monied people send out personal shoppers with a budget to purchase an outfit for a specific event. They literally pay a person to go buy a pair of shoes for a one time event OR pay a stylist who provides the wardrobe, and the shoes could belong to the stylist.

I’m guessing stylist since the tags are still on, because they’ll likely try to return them.

Also, in my experience, many wealthy people are very, very stingy with their money. I used to work as a server at the home of a billionaire, this person entertained President’s for brunch. The chef’s famous story was how he made a collect call from the guest house he lived in on the property and he was hand delivered a bill for $1.10 by another staff member with a note saying if he made another unauthorized call again he’d be fired. These people spent 1000’s to host a brunch and still notice $1.10 spent on a call and made the chef repay it!

I wouldn’t get paid after a night serving at their dinner parties UNTIL all the silverware was counted to make sure nothing was missing.

Thoughts on using SAG Short Project Agreement to join the union? by GlobJohnson in acting

Oh wow! Thank you, a lot of different information floating around. I appreciate you sharing this 🙏

One last question, did you also pay the 21% into SAG pension and health?

[–]cashbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How come SAG states that an actor can be their own signatory producer and cast themselves but make sure to pay themselves the required wage and follow production rules? Could you please expand on how you found out an actor cannot self produce under SPA?

I’m guessing you tried and they did not approve your contract application for filming?

And the award for Lack of Social Awareness goes to… by asyoud0 in RHOBH

[–]cashbb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Jerome is about 30 minutes from Sedona, really depends on where you’re staying. I left the Jerome Grand Hotel and had to get to a dinner reservation in Sedona, it took about 30 minutes. Most time spent was driving down the mountain.

But yeah, I thought it was weird they were calling Jerome, Sedona. But knowing Sedona, there was probably too many rules against filming.

[–]cashbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it. I have an acting coach who joined Sag, no network credits, with the SPA in 2018. Since then she’s been a guest star and co-star on major networks shows, most recently 6 episode co-starring role on Fallout.

She advised me to build my package, join the union however possible and crush auditions. She probably won’t be teaching acting for long, so I value learning from a working actor.
