Has anyone ever used their iphone + apps +mics etc to make an industry standard demo reel?

I know some movies have even been made with iPhones and they look good. An example is “Tangerine” And I want to do it myself instead of hire an expensive demo reel studio because IMO, it’s so overpriced for only *one* scene to be shot. I went to acting school...

I got my first audition yesterday for a play in NYC this summer. I have to turn it down. Gutted but I'm sure other opportunities will come around, right?

I submitted for a role on Actors Access a few weeks ago and never heard back so I assumed it was a no-go. I'm a newbie actress so I'm not picky, I just move on. It's part of the game. I'm just happy I am finally in a position where I can do this. Well, I...

I wish there were a podcast by a very successful actor on how to be one.

It's one thing if actors coming-up-the-ranks are making podcasts - good for them. I just wish I could get insights and wisdom from podcasts where actors that are top dogs and A-listers share their secrets/wisdom/tips/advice. I have co-stars, recurrings, guest...
