Payton Maynard: Actor and dancer in Denver, Colorado.

Hello everyone. I'm Dorshae Middleton and I'm currently represented in Commercial/VO/Print and hoping to reach Theatrical one day. I'm still getting used to this website and using it more often but I think it's great. Let me know if you want to connect! Thanks and have a great day!

Hello Payton -

Welcome to the community! I'm Amanda Toney, the Managing Director at Stage 32. Since 2013 I've been proud to oversee Stage 32's Next Level Education, which provides you the most up-to-date tools necessary to become a better creative.

Over the years Stage 32 has worked with over 500 industry executives and professionals to teach online webinars, classes and intensive labs exclusively for you - our Stage 32 community. We bring you instructors who have worked directly on some of your favorite films, TV shows or theater productions to teach you in-the-trenches information that you won't find anywhere else on producing, directing, financing, writing, packaging, acting and more.

Our Next Level Education has a 97% satisfaction rate and averages 4.5 out of 5 stars. Plus, we've had the honor to be called "LinkedIn meets Lynda.com for film, television and theater creatives" by Forbes Magazine.

I encourage you to take the next step to continue learning and expanding your career by clicking here, or clicking "education" on your top menu bar.

I'm grateful you've joined the Stage 32 community. Please let me know if you have any questions!

I asked my fellow S32 instructor Uma Incrocci how she advises people running into this issue... Check out her reply and her 2 great blogs on S32! ME: Hey Uma, as a non-actor myself, I've never known how best to advise an actor who doesn't have an obvious "look." What do you tell those actors who don't have an obvious look, who don't yet have credits that suggest a brand, and who are struggling to put together materials (headshot, reel, etc.) which will get them into rooms? To me - and this might not be great advice since I'm not in Casting!! - I would tell them to have headshots that help point a casting associate in the right direction. If you don't have a clear look, then let the headshot suggest, "hey this person could play the ex-jock office manager who gives all the desk jockeys a hard time."

Thank you for connecting with me, Payton. Best of luck in your career!

Karen Sanchez, an Actor from Los Angeles, California was just hired for the project titled "Key cast for Dancers Confessions". Congratulations!

Hi Payton. I'm RB, Founder and CEO of Stage 32. As a screenwriter, producer, actor and filmmaker, I know first-hand the challenges all creatives face finding work, landing representation, launching projects, securing funding and simply making the connections that will make a difference in their careers. That's why I created Stage 32. Since our launch in September of 2011, the community has grown to 1,000,000+ members representing every country on the planet making Stage 32 the social network uniquely populated with the most creative people on Earth.

This is a network for you, built by you. Like most things in life, the more you participate, the greater the rewards. We ask all new members to pay it forward by inviting 5 fellow creatives to the network and by spreading the word of Stage 32 through other social media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. The more creatives, the stronger the network. The stronger the network, the more opportunities.

Thanks for joining the movement and for being a part of this most talented and inspiring community. I very much look forward to your contributions.

Thanks, and have a creative day!

RB
