Hey Superstars! I have some great news for you. Casting directors have OFFICIALLY started in person auditions again. I just left my first in person audition of the year earlier today. To be honest, it felt so good to be back in front of casting vs submitting a self tape. I feel like it's extremely hard to book with a self tape because casting was seeing a lot more talent via self tapes. Now there's hope again for all the actors like me who like the energy they get when auditioning in front of casting. Let's go!!!

That's awesome, Omari!! Fingers crossed for you. But regardless of whether you book this one, it sounds like it was a great experience to just be back in the room. Did it seem like everyone was excited to be back?

The upside of self tape is that there are more opportunities for actors who may not otherwise be seen. And if you believe it is hard to book a job that way, then so it will be.

Thanks Maurice Vaughan! Much appreciated. The advice I would give to actors preparing for in person auditions would be, to try meditating or some form of focused breathing exercises to stay grounded for your audition. I feel like the more grounded you are before your audition the more impactful your performance can be. I would also suggest listening to calming music such as jazz to keep the nerves down while heading to your audition.

You're welcome, Omari Washington. Great advice. I don't act, but I'd listen to jazz before an in person audition.

Love to hear it! The self tape grind can be so frustrating and it's great to get in front of real physical human people!
