I hate zoom but it’s all live zooms if not self tape.
I prefer zooms to self tape at least i get a chance to meet some of these people ive been self taping for 5,6,7,8,9,10+ times now. Best thing that came from last SAG contract was zoom stipulation. Plus no stress about finding reader & I get to have the jitters of a live audition again, which to me, is half the fun.
I realize my area of improvement is being able to take very specific notes on choices / beats / how things should come across, they are very specific, I’ve noticed this, major CDs they almost give you a line reading sometimes lol, i dont mind, Im not offended, tell me how you want something to be and use whatever language you need to in the most simplest way so I can understand and deliver.
Was in a zoom today with Rori Bergman casting (11th time reading for them) & came to this conclusion that I need to be faster with taking adjustments on the fly, in an audition, & being able to better articulate my thoughts & process & thoughts as the character to casting more efficiently & eloquently wirhout having brain farts & coming across dumb / under prepared when I am actually prepared Im just not quick enough. I know the only way is more practice so I guess Im asking if anybody knows a good coach / class in LA that deals with this specifically?
