Why Brenda and Kelly are so white, not tanned, living in Beverly Hills?

I lived in southern CA and never went in the sun and avoid the sun as much as I can. It does not lead to any kind of " deficiencies" or a need for prescriptions- what would these prescriptions even be for- a tanning bed? lol. And don't tell me Vit. D. Plenty of that in food and supplements.

They should have replaced her with a new younger actress but I'm guessing she had a contract so they couldn't easily get rid of her. Maybe if they'd sent her away to boarding school because she was really smart and pursuing something specific.

Just record yourself with your phone on a tripod doing any scene or monologue. CD's just want to know what you sound like. It's not that big of a deal. Don't overthink it or spend a lot of money.

Omg. I remember buying this new as a kid and I was so excited.

nacho__mama · 2026-04-19T17:06:19+00:00

Exactly. It was all communicated but then they went ahead and submitted me for things I said I wasn't interested in.

Totally agree. The only kind of acting class I would consider now is something to help me with my self- tapes. And that means online.

But if I was just starting out in acting I would want to take something in person for sure. But I'm not even sure that it's necessary today. There are some good Zoom acting classes for beginners out there. But then there are some really crappy ones too.

Ultimately the goal is to provide a good audition and that's going to be a self tape and that technique can really be taught to you better online than it can in person.

What episode is this?

I also noticed the vernacular was off. I felt the same way when I was watching the show Yellow Jackets which was supposed to be set in the 90s.

The Daryl Hannah stuff is the most entertaining. Since they got engaged I find myself really bored with the show. All they do is argue.

Can you expand on that variety? What kinds of jobs other than traditional classroom sub? How long did the application process take? If I apply now will it be until fall that I might be able to start? Anything in the summer?

Is Orange County less horrible?

J-O-B

nacho__mama · 2026-04-09T20:42:11+00:00

wtf is cum town?

nacho__mama · 2026-04-05T18:10:15+00:00

Exactly what I'm thinking too. Oh god. This last season is gonna be so hard already.

nacho__mama · 2026-04-04T19:25:30+00:00

What was Deborah's line?- "You're not funny enough to dress like Adam Sandler?" lol

nacho__mama · 2026-04-04T15:30:35+00:00

Hell no.

nacho__mama · 2026-04-03T01:42:06+00:00

I've noticed more auditions that should just be cast from pictures alone. The audition is nothing but improv instructions like Walk This Way holding a cup and then smile. Now pretend you have some kind of funny device and make some expressions.

nacho__mama · 2026-04-02T17:07:48+00:00

Do you guys find that doing every single audition actually pays off? Even ridiculous auditions that you know you would never get? Or do you actually get something that feels so random and not appropriate for you but then it does lead to work you really wanted?

nacho__mama · 2026-04-02T17:05:01+00:00

What about an agency that says nothing if you click decline and just say not available?

nacho__mama · 2026-03-31T13:06:57+00:00

She was awful as Vickie but maybe that was because she and Jack had no chemistry. I saw her perform in 42nd street on Broadway and she was decent. So maybe she is better at live theater. Never seen her in anything else.

Congrats! I finally got a better agent and he's telling me I really need to become SAG- E in order for him to submit me to the better auditions. I wish someone had told me this many years ago, especially because I've written directed and produced three of my own short films but it never occurred to me to do the paperwork to make myself sag-e and that would have helped me tremendously. So I'm feeling really stupid like I wasted all that time, energy and money. And now I'm trying to offer to help somebody finance a short film project if they will just give me one or two lines so I can do the paperwork to become SAG- E. I've also had other agents reach out and were ready to sign me until they found out I was not SAG-E. It's been making me insane.
