Exclusive Audition Container for Auditioning Actors! by Treisa Gary • last post Jan 15th
I’d like to invite Actors to experience a one-month audition coaching container for actors who are actively auditioning or preparing to return to the audition process, running February 4th through 25th. This is a professional-level, small-group environment designed as a recalibration-based space for trained actors to restore clarity, neutrality, and trust before auditioning.
I have been coaching actors professionally since 2009 from my published framework, “8 Steps to Working Actor”. This container is for actors seeking clarity, precision, and honest feedback — no fluff. If you’d like to see if we’re a fit, check it out in the link below. Spaces are limited. Hope to see ya! https://www.treisagary.com/audition-class
Inspiring Role by Suzanne Bronson • last post Jan 15th
As actors, we bring ourselves to the characters we play. We find what resonates and go all in. Some parts are easier than others. Some really stretch us, some parts we are tempted to phone in. Then, there is the really wonderful occasion where we put our blood, sweat and tears into a role, thinking we had this character all figured out, only to find this character is teaching us something.
Casting call for Film Project by Charles Chas Green • last post Jan 14th
Here's the latest promo vid for the P.O.C. (proof of concept) and Movie Trailer we are shooting in L.A. later this year to promote a much bigger and more ambitious project - a feature length film, called Neverland - a Neo noir, Supernatural Thriller. Principle casting and some crew placement is now open on this project. If your interested in what promises to be a high standard and quality film project then go to my profile page to express your interest for casting and crew, there's also a posting in Jobs on Stage 32 as well. Unfortunately I'm not able (at this stage at least...the situation may change however as funding applications are currently in process) to give you a bucket of money for your creative involvement as the current Budget only stretches to cover some key crew roles & material production costs - camera, equipment, lighting, location hire, catering, permits and transport etc.
The Economics of Stupidity by Philip David Lee • last post Jan 13th
"Hey! I owe my success and my wealth to my customer base except, I'm not trying to make them happy. I'm so talented that no matter how much I insult you or tell you what I think is the correct way to think and the only way to think even if half of the country disagree with me. My acting is so spectacular, that you have no choice but to and spen your hard earned money to see me work my craft. You just can't take your eyes off of me and are helpless to watch everything I'm hired to act in."
Do Ya Like Short Stories? It Really Happened. by Michael Stair • last post Jan 13th
It was a surprise opportunity for a young guy who felt he could do anything in the entertainment field, and of course that included great acting. I was making day trips to Allentown Pennsylvania from Mountaintop and one summer day stumbled on an ad in the local town newspaper which basically said "Actors Wanted".

The Paradox Of Our Profession by Dan Martin Roesch • last post Jan 12th
There are days when acting feels like falling in love for the first time.
And there are days when it feels like staying in a relationship that hurts — not because the love is gone, but because the world around it has become loud, fast, demanding, and unforgiving.
We rarely talk about that part.
We talk about careers, strategies, visibility, bookings, momentum. But beneath all of it lies something far more fragile and far more powerful: the quiet love we once had for this profession. The moment we first realized that stories could move us, that standing on a stage or in front of a camera could make us feel more alive than anything else. That being an actor wasn’t a plan — it was a calling.
And then life happened.
Auditions multiplied.
Self tapes replaced rooms full of people.
Opportunities came faster, but felt thinner.
We learned to be efficient, flexible, professional — and slowly forgot how to be present.
We gained more access, but less patience.
More knowledge, but less trust in ourselves.
More feedback, but less certainty.
We built bigger résumés, yet sometimes felt smaller inside.
We learned how to survive in the business —
and somewhere along the way, forgot how to live inside the art.
Our days became measured in submissions instead of moments, in responses instead of resonance. We rushed from casting to casting, from hope to disappointment, from motivation to exhaustion, telling ourselves this was the price of commitment. That love must hurt a little. That sacrifice was proof we cared.
But love that only consumes eventually empties us.
This isn’t about doing less or retreating from the industry — it’s about working with intention again, so your craft remains reliable, present, and valuable when opportunity finally aligns.
There is a paradox at the heart of our profession: we are asked to be deeply human on demand, while living in systems that reward speed over depth, output over presence. We learn to add years to our careers, but sometimes forget to add life to those years. We conquer platforms, algorithms, techniques — yet neglect the inner space where courage, imagination, and truth are born.
We can break down scripts flawlessly, but struggle to break down the walls we build around ourselves.
We communicate constantly, but connect less.
We know how to perform intimacy, but forget how to allow it.
And still — we stay.
Because every now and then, there is a moment that takes our breath away. A scene that scares us. A role that asks more of us than we thought we could give. A collaboration that reminds us why we started. A look exchanged on set that says: this matters. These moments don’t come often. They never do. But they are enough to keep us here.
Maybe that’s what our careers are really measured by.
Not by the number of auditions we survive.
Not by the size of our credits.
But by the moments that stopped us in our tracks and made us feel alive again.
The danger is not failing.
So this is not a call to work harder, to be louder, to chase faster. It’s an invitation to remember. To treat our relationship with acting like any great love: with honesty, boundaries, patience, and care. To protect the parts of ourselves that make us interesting. To allow silence. To choose depth when speed threatens to hollow us out.
Because acting, like love, is not meant to be consumed.
It’s meant to be lived.
And if you’re reading this feeling tired, distant, unsure — know this: you are not broken. You are not behind. You are not alone. You are simply in a chapter that asks you to fall back in love — not with success, not with recognition, but with the reason you stepped onto this path in the first place.
Our profession is not measured by the number of breaths we take between castings.
It is measured by the moments that take our breath away.
And those moments still exist.
They always have.

2026 Mindset by Suzanne Bronson • last post Jan 9th
I would like to start the conversation about what is your mindset for the New Year? Not a resolution or a goal even, more like a title card. New year, new chapter. Midway through 2025 I had to do a course correction. So I decided I was going all in. That I would stop getting sidetracked with other projects, or non entertainment industry income. I have been focusing on submitting for auditions, watching all the webinars on auditioning, voiceover, and audio book recording. I even took some writing courses. I got a microphone for Christmas and I have downloaded Audacity. I am in the process of turning my walk in closet into a sound booth.

An Actor's Sovereignty: Collaborating, Ensembling, with our Inner Authority by Juliana Philippi • last post Jan 8th
A new year, and a new chance, to experience our lives as actors using the wisdom of all the experiences from the past year. A lot, right? Haha.
Most of the times, as actors, we are constantly searching for someone to direct us (generally speaking). To advise us in what we should be doing: acting wise, role wise, picture wise, social media wise, contract wise, methods wise...you get the gist of it. But that word, wise...we should be looking within...listening to our own wisdom.
There's a word that has come up, softly, and a bit surprisingly, this beginning of 2026: sovereignty.
The way I do things, as an actor, my choice of movement, of work, of being...should be my own. How I would like to get into a rehearsal space, what my boundaries are in terms of other players and crew as I prep, how I feel I need x, y, z...or don't...and all the other things that most of the time, we let slip, and allow, because we...adapt...flow...and at times...allow an intrusion....once...twice...
Now, this is where it gets interesting: when we are on a film, a television show, in a play, etc..., we are usually directed, and reacting to notes, to other's energies, other characters, the ensemble...you get the idea. We are literally reacting like magnificent and unique chemicals in a beautiful lab, to create a story. And how that happens...is when we completely let go, relax, and allow the environment, actors, sounds, sensations, to propel us toward a place. That place, well, us the unknown...and is not in our control, and we hold no power there.
But, there is something that is still ours...something deep within, that I feel is a point of discovery, and here in this post, a dialogue: What is sovereignty to you, as an actor? Do you feel it? How does being on a set, or the stage, affect it, and how can it free you to become a more generous actor, while still anchoring you in your essence, your confidence...your authenticity...?
Sovereignty...

SAG (Now "The Actor Awards") Nominations Announced! by Sam Rivera • last post Jan 7th
The SAG Nominations have been announced! What do we think? What nominations stood out or are you excited? I'm glad to see OBAA and Sinners get some well-deserved nominations! The nomination that surprised me with glee? Odessa A'zion for supporting. I used to work at the agency she was repped at prior to Marty Supreme, and thought she was amazing in the film, and who doesn't love Pamela Adlon?
