Eating and Drinking Techniques for Actors? by Maurice Vaughan  •  last post Dec 2nd

Hope this post doesn’t make you hungry. I watched a limited series last night (The Madness on Netflix – incredible series!) where the main character was eating pizza and drinking, and I thought about this. Are there any techniques that actors use when eating and drinking in scenes so the food/drink doesn’t get in the way of performing?

Happy thanksgiving, with. new projects, online and worldwide :) by Michele Lastella  •  last post Nov 29th


Hello dear artist friends,

I am Michele Lastella, 

Film director, actor, writer, and Acting Coach with Acting method implemented on all worldwide venues at New York Film Academy.

After Covid, as many realized distribution changed, it's not studios anymore, its about platforms buying studios up.

Being an insider of both the distribution and education world internationally, I had some intel about what was going to happen, so thanks to my educational and directing position.

I came to meet some incredible executives from Streaming platforms around the world such as Apple, TUBI, Amazon, The Roku Channel, Xumo, Plex, RewardedTv, Hulu, Cinedigm, Youtube Official Movies Production and Distrbution etc

At this point I had this idea:

I decided to cut all the steps among distribution, film industry career, and education.

After 20 years of hearing complaints from my friends actors from London, NY, LA, Paris, Rome, Berlin, etc about finding continuous jobs to keep growing as actors internationally not only in the USA and Canada.

It was at this point that opened up in front of me this idea of disrupting the system of making films, deciding the topic, not being banned, and just teaching and making movies guaranteeing for the first time 100% participation in a film to be distributed on 25 streaming platforms present in 175 national territories.

We built a disruptive system of making Workshop/Casting/Film Shooting all at once 

ONLINE and WORLDWIDE :) 

We decided to call THE STAR IS YOU

As we believe it is the time now for us to tell what we want as we want and give opportunities to actors all around the world to work together and grow with exposure participating with a low subscription fee that would make them EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS as well.

All to be updated on IMDb and top right tab of first GOOGLE page as famous Hollywood actors!

if you want to be part of this, let me know and we will have a chat and work together.

Namaste.

Acting Reel Help by Jack Murphy  •  last post Nov 27th

Hey guys, as you know I just got approved for representation. I need to upload an acting reel for my resume. I put one together with all the projects that I've done. I would love some critique. Clip order? Maybe remove one of the clips? Should the duration be longer or shorter than 1:44? I would just love some help. Thanks!

Social Media for Actors - Casting Director Tips by Tammy Hunt  •  last post Nov 21st

Casting director Laurie Records talks about social media and what advice she would give to #actors who are trying to build out their social media:


“If you hate it, I would say then let it go. You do you. But if you have interest in it, be willing to put in the time, and that means daily or every other day. You need to be active. I would put it on my to-do list. Dedicate a half an hour of your time to cultivating that. I think that consistency is key. Just make it part of what you are doing for your acting career today. It will take time. You are not going to be on everybody’s radar from the get-go. But if you enjoy it, it should be a little bit of fun for you and [it] can absolutely be helpful in some situations. So, take the time, put in the effort and think about what you’re doing. Be careful, don’t slap things up that you might regret later. Be thoughtful. Keep your actor social media account pristine and with a focus that is going to serve you as an actor.”

“As far as red flags I look for, clients care about offensive content. Stay away from extreme anything, whether it’s provocative photos, extreme political posts. I think that you can express how you feel politically, but it’s a danger zone. Staying civil is a good idea, and just staying away from crass, rude, crude stuff. You’re representing the brand in the end, that is how they’re looking at you. If you’re a known jerk online, that’s not going to work out for the brand.”

“Eventually, it will help you down the line. I think it’s worth the time.I would say, if social media is not your bag, stay off! Don’t have an Instagram account. It’s all right! But I believe that if you have interest in it, you will be rewarded. Follow other actors. Look and see what they are doing. That’s a great way to get some content ideas. Some people do it very well, so watch and mimic them. You’ll be different because you are you, but that way you’re not reinventing the wheel. Actors have come before you and done this social media thing quite well. Be a student of theirs, get some great ideas, and have fun. But keep it focused.

It can happen... because it is! [This gets good] - "I'M DELIGHTED" by Nick Bohle  •  last post Nov 20th

You know, as actors we can often get into a zone where we are waiting for the roles to come to us,  just lose napkins fluttering in the breeze waiting for some gust (booking) to sail us in some direction or another. Whether it's a soap or a blockbuster may not matter as long as we get to touch that special feeling that only exists when the camera is on and the stakes are high. While luck favours only a few, the rest are left out here with unrealized characters and our shoelaces tied together.


This happens all to often in Alberta, where I'm from. I'm sure it's not uncommon elsewhere either. Hundreds of talented and worthy actors don't get their shot because there is a stigma that actors from Alberta (or Demoine or Littlerock or wherever the f%&K are just bad. Want the truth? A ton of them are quite underwhelming. However, there are a few dozen stand out stars. People you will see on your screens in the decades to come. 

I'm obviously biased but I believe I'm one of them. I think anyone with a dream needs to have a bit of that belief in them. I'm seasoned, I'm practiced, I've led a pilot, I've led multiple shorts, I've won awards and that's all great - yay for me! However, it all pales in comparison to what is about to transpire. 

I'M DELIGHTED to share that I've recently received FUNDING (not through Stage32 connections) to produce and lead my first narrative pilot both behind and in front of the camera. Before you go ballistic about how impossible that might be, I assure you, it is not. This is not my first rodeo, just the first one I've owned outright. I'm thrilled to have the creative control and opportunity to truly show what I'm made of as an actor and television producer. We go to principal in Spring 2025 and release in Early 2026. 

The story is a gritty 90s themed dark-crime with a touch of comedy sprinkled in that explores the darker side of overzealous religious control on youth and communities. The pilot is called, "The Are No Squirrels in Lethbridge. I co-wrote the screenplay with Just For Laughs comedian and my good friend Conner Christmas. 


That's about all the details I can share at this time. If you want to stay up to date with what I'm up to you can find me at: @nick_bohle on Instagram. All of my activities are connected to that account.
