  Speaker 4: So let's say let's say let's say we have a
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: seven year old kid reading in for.
• 15:51

  Speaker 4: And then they're so jolted that they forget all of
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: their like sort of you know, bad child actor training.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: And they just read it that it's like somebody who's
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: never talken to an actual baby before. It's more like
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: a bully middle school bullies. Yeah, you love it.
• 16:27
  Speaker 8: Seen so many babies on TV. I've like thought about babies, like,

• 16:48
  Speaker 3: about ten years ago, and we were like, no, let's
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: just always smile and always make them feel okay. And
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: you are kind of giving this old fashioned cast like
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: a cartoon casting.
• 17:01
  Speaker 8: Got to say the two thousands, the early two that
• 17:03
  Speaker 8: they're back. You know, we're coming back into a time where,
• 17:07
  Speaker 8: you know, we gotta start being a little rough around.
• 17:10
  Speaker 9: Well, shake up the safe space because the safe space
• 17:13
  Speaker 9: has become too safe.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Wow, you know.
• 17:16
  Speaker 7: And also a lot of people perform in safety, right firefighters,
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: if they felt safe, they wouldn't do their job.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, I'm going to say the fire's toxic.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: They're going to say the fires, fire, fires, fire through it.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: There's nothing toxic about a fire, nothing.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: So why why why would we be toxic if we said, yeah.

• 19:14
  Speaker 7: And I will say, me and my people the way
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: I counteract the kind of things that I'm asking for,
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: which are sometimes degrading and demoralizing but important. You know,
• 19:21
  Speaker 7: it's yeah, you need, you need the nuts and the
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: bolts of certain things, which is weird people enrolls.
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: Sometimes. I like to become really good friends with my actors.
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: I love them.
• 19:30
  Speaker 7: I hang out with them, I have them over for
• 19:32
  Speaker 7: lunch and dinner and and you know, do you guys
• 19:35
  Speaker 7: become friends with some of your actors.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: Well, what's interesting about what you do is that you
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: work just with one role. Right, You're not higher like
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: on a movie, right, like on a show.
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: Kind of a fixer.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: Wow, you're coming in a v.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: An independent contract exactly exactly, which is so interesting so
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: I imagine that Foster is a relationship with that actor
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: because usually I'm just on shows or movies and I
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: do everybody and everything in there. Which is so funny
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: because I want to talk to you guys about this
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: because I'm all of us mostly are being hired for
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: a project to do all the casting. The big guns
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: will do offers out right to the top of the line.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: So it just naturally has me treating co stars and
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: guest stars less than absolutely because most of my job
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: is emailing Ryan Reynolds Company, and actually they are. And
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: then when I remember at the end of the day
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: that I need a waitress that has an eight page
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: scene and.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: You put fifteen people pinned and you just have to.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: Send out the tape. I'll send out the tape right
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: before I go to bed, and I say it's due
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: in the morning. Yeah, because I forgot because I was
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: working with celebrities.
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: We should explain what what it is.
• 20:45
  Speaker 7: We should explain to the layman what pinned means. Pin
• 20:48
  Speaker 7: means that you're almost going to ever get there.
• 20:52
  Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, you're almost just to know if.
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: We pin you, we're not going to use you.
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: Yes, it's in sense of false hope.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: They pain you to clear your schedule, so you have
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: to wipe your entire schedule for the promise of it
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: getting it, but they still won't give it to you.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And usually there's another one. We use Pinned a lot.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: But then there's a veil.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: A veil pretty much only for commercials.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: Truly only for commercials, and those are even wider. Sometimes
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: I can ask for the whole month jove.
• 21:19
  Speaker 8: Putting kids on a veil, because then they don't go
• 21:21
  Speaker 8: to school.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: And the amazing like their whole timestables.
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, because they're waiting.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: For this homeeople, it's nothing. Can I love it? Can
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: I ask a question? Have you ever given an audible
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: no in the room?
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: Say it?
• 21:39
  Speaker 6: Do you want to hear my story?
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: This one?
• 21:43
  Speaker 7: Sometimes I call her before I'm going to sleep and say,
• 21:45
  Speaker 7: seeing me to sleep with that story?
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: Well?
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: Is this someone where it was recorded on zoom? Or
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: is that what the other one that you got?
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: That was the other one?
• 21:51
  Speaker 9: But this one, that one was a tough story because
• 21:54
  Speaker 9: I was doing Spyers, working on Spider Man, the new
• 21:56
  Speaker 9: one with Tom Holland and Sunday who we love.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: We love.
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: They're so tough.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: It's so funny team, incredible fun.
• 22:03
  Speaker 9: When Bella Thorne also came in for the role of
• 22:06
  Speaker 9: Mary Jane, that was a really tough day for me
• 22:08
  Speaker 9: because I love my girl, Bella Thorne.
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: Two Disney girls, you know, and they know each other's
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: Endea and Bella. They go back.
• 22:13
  Speaker 9: And so when they came in, Zendaya irresistible of course,
• 22:17
  Speaker 9: and then Bella Thorne comes in, clamors in and she
• 22:20
  Speaker 9: you know, has her sunglasses on, but she's ready and
• 22:22
  Speaker 9: she's locked in. And I had to say no because
• 22:25
  Speaker 9: I saw the chemistry between Zindia and Tom and I said, well,
• 22:28
  Speaker 9: who am I going to be to say not?
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: As you know, So that was a tough note for me.
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: But we're still really close bell and I and you
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: you were. We do lying out with a lot of
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: the A listers.
• 22:37

• 23:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, oh nice, split the bill.
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: No.
• 23:06
  Speaker 7: Also, you're the one who credits yourself for getting Tommins
• 23:10
  Speaker 7: and Data together.
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: Well, yeah, a little bit I did. Yeah.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Well I think you put something in their sushi.
• 23:16
  Speaker 9: I think there's something here and they're both like no,
• 23:19
  Speaker 9: you know, but then time kind of.
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: You know, you sort of have a reputation as being
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: a sort of matchmaker.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 23:26
  Speaker 8: I mean, we're our.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: Job is kind of match making between the vision of
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: the director and the actor and the studio.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: It's just so much work. It's so much work, of course.
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: And it's like it's how can we create this big,
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: happy family where everyone agrees. But you seem to actually
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: make actors fall in love sometimes, like when you see
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: like two people who would be a good match, you like,
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: I've heard you put them in Chemistry Reads together for
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: fake Project.
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: I do.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: I was going to say, it all comes back down
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: to the Kem Read and Kem Reid queen.
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: Well that's how we got Daredevil.
• 23:56
  Speaker 9: No, you're never supposed to happen, And I said, no,
• 23:59
  Speaker 9: let's get these two in a row.
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: Boom.
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: That's absolutely and then they got yes.
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: Well and you know it didn't work. You happened, which
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: was very good for you. You know, thank god more kids.
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: Do you credit yourself having more kids? Do you credit
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: yourself for the divorce when the divorces end up happening?
• 24:17
  Speaker 9: I do not know, because my job ends when the
• 24:19
  Speaker 9: casting process ends, So anything that happens after that, I
• 24:22
  Speaker 9: turn a blind eye.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: Tom it's not well. Sometimes I don't even I don't
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: even foster the project till that far. I I just
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: make sure the director shows up on the zoom. I
• 24:31

• 26:39
  Speaker 7: We're looking for authenticity, especially a lot of these big roles,
• 26:41
  Speaker 7: they're broad. So if you're wearing the costume, if you're
• 26:45
  Speaker 7: going in for some sort of creepy evil clown, put
• 26:49
  Speaker 7: that makeup on.
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: Do the word.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: But that's so funny. I did. I was doing some
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: co stars for General Hospital and I saw a lot
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: of people wearing scrubs and it made me icked out.
• 26:57
  Speaker 8: Oh, it's like adult for you.
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: I was like being your normal club.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, So this is the difference, Like you never
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: know what you're gonna get.
• 27:04
  Speaker 8: You never know what you're gonna get when you walk
• 27:06
  Speaker 8: in there. That's why.
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: So my number one advice to actors is you never
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: know what you get, so just do it literally. Just also,
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: but also my advice that I always give on TikTok.
• 27:17
  Speaker 8: Is up up up, up, end up and up, send the.
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: Line up up, up, up and up so like and
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: sometimes you know, it's just the kids being kids, their family,
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: bloggers like whatever it is.
• 27:32
  Speaker 8: But you know, I try and help. I feel like
• 27:34
  Speaker 8: it's our duty and I think this is amazing.
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: It's crazy.
• 27:38
  Speaker 8: We are just helping.
• 27:39
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that sound you did on that TikTok up up,
• 27:41
  Speaker 7: up up, that was viral on baby TikTok.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it makes babies cry. It makes babies cry.
• 27:48
  Speaker 8: How these were me and they were amazing. God, Yeah,
• 27:52
  Speaker 8: I couldn't walk past a nursery for a week.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Well that's what I always say on my TikTok. Like
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: there's literally there's no tricks to this. Everybody's different, but
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: there is an answer, a right answer that will get
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: you cast every time.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: But we're not telling you. We're not going to tell you.
• 28:07
  Speaker 8: Director is a secret key.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: It's all the same.
• 28:12
  Speaker 9: Yes, yes, that's why, and mine I change it every
• 28:15
  Speaker 9: fucking day. Have you heard to flourish off of that
• 28:20
  Speaker 9: is that I want as many takes as possible. I
• 28:23
  Speaker 9: want thirty takes. No, I'm not going to watch all
• 28:26
  Speaker 9: of them, but I want somewhere in there to be
• 28:28
  Speaker 9: the right choice. And I will select a random which
• 28:30
  Speaker 9: clip I watch, maybe I watched and want I don't
• 28:33
  Speaker 9: watch all thirty no clip.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: You click through them, right, you just kind of go no.
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: No method if your eye matches the exact one that
• 28:42
  Speaker 7: works for you, and that's divine timing rightly, and that's beautiful,
• 28:45
  Speaker 7: and so much of what we do is divine.
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: I think we all agree with that.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: Most of my tapes playing while my laptop is muted
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: and I you're just looking if and you're in the court.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: And you're just clicking through.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: I usually have the traders pulled up and I'm watching
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: it on Peacock on Safari, and I have actors access
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: up on Chrome and if I if you pull focus
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: for oundcommings, then I'll turn the volume off.
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: So incredible, man, that's an amazing CREDI.
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: So you're not you're not even listening.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: To the same Day tanks.
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: You're not listening to.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: All Cummings either, because it's all muted watching, you're just
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: watching his energy.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: I'm reading the subtitles.
• 29:29
  Speaker 9: Well, that's what I do with Nick and Vanessa Lasha
• 29:31
  Speaker 9: anytime they're on, I say they.
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: Have it because we all know they.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: And you set them up, didn't you? You're so bad.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: I'm laughing.
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: No way, go did I did?
• 29:41
  Speaker 8: Project? Did you send them?
• 29:42
  Speaker 9: Well that it was supposed to be a survivor reboot,
• 29:47
  Speaker 9: reboot called Don't Survive whoa.
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: And it was whoever? You know, But it's.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Crazy they were booting something that, yeah, reboot opposite.
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: That whole thing.
• 29:57
  Speaker 7: That whole thing sounds kind of misbegotten for start right,
• 30:01
  Speaker 7: It's a reboot of a show that's already harm that
• 30:02
  Speaker 7: is successful.
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: And it's starting actors, and to be the opposite to.
• 30:08
  Speaker 6: Exactly not survive people, people were not down for that.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: I just don't get it.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, here's the thing. You said, the naughty word, honestly,
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: a naughtyer word, TikTok advice. And here's the bigger naughty, naughty,
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: naughty word. I'm scared to even bring this up. Are
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: you guys charging two to three hundred dollars for a workshop?
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: Okay, okay, yes, the most dramatic c W.
• 30:32
  Speaker 7: And then in Hollywood and I'm talking the network, I'm
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: talking about casting workshops.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: Oh you're bad. I'm laughing.
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: It's a naughty c W.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: And i'd say, raise your hand. If you pay your
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: mortgage with casting workshops.
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: Everyone in that room is raising guilty.
• 30:47
  Speaker 8: I must say. I don't want to do them right.
• 30:50
  Speaker 8: But all of these stage parents are literally banging down
• 30:54
  Speaker 8: my door.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Demand to find the answer like there is and again
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: there's no answer, but there is one, and we won't
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: tell you. We're not going to tell especially not a
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: casting workshop, and we.
• 31:06
  Speaker 8: Won't tell you.
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: Yes, it does.
• 31:10
  Speaker 7: And if you put you know, Just to be clear
• 31:13
  Speaker 7: for the layman, a casting workshop is where you might
• 31:16
  Speaker 7: come with a required piece, some sort of monologue or
• 31:19
  Speaker 7: some sort of performance, and then you perform for people
• 31:22
  Speaker 7: who are casting directors, paid it a lot of money
• 31:24
  Speaker 7: to be a part of them, and then they give
• 31:26
  Speaker 7: you some notes at the end and they walk away. Yeah,
• 31:29
  Speaker 7: there is a sometimes imaginary draw that maybe they'll think
• 31:35
  Speaker 7: of you and cast you in future things.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: Well, that's a good question. Have any of us cast
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: somebody off of that?
• 31:39
  Speaker 9: Absolutely not no, I did not, no, no, no, Please go.
• 31:43
  Speaker 6: Ahead well, I was going to say.
• 31:44
  Speaker 9: When I was working on Royal Pains, I ended up
• 31:47
  Speaker 9: I did a casting director workshop with backstage, and I
• 31:49
  Speaker 9: did bring in a girl who was very green, but
• 31:52
  Speaker 9: I said, why not, she has one line, and I
• 31:54
  Speaker 9: brought her in and I did not cast her because
• 31:55
  Speaker 9: she was, you know, horrible, But I gave her the opportunity.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: That's right, and that's what's important.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: And she paid you, and you paid her back and
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: the transaction is over.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: Yes, because that will get you. Here's an a secret.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: When you bring someone in from a workshop, it gets
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: people buying.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: More workshops because they go, I got I actually got
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: an aundation.
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: That's it.
• 32:17
  Speaker 8: So you got to do one.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: But you brought someone in from a workshop.
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: Well I so it's a little bit of a loophole.
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: So one of the stage moms who brought their child
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: in for a workshop was pregnant at the time, and
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: I had one of those moments where I start, I
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: stared at her belly and I went, I know, and
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: that child. Two years later I put in a commercial.
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: Two years later, the child was like a year and
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: a half old.
• 32:43
  Speaker 8: The child was a year and a half old.
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the child came out and it was fantastic at acting,
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: and I just knew right away.
• 32:49
  Speaker 8: I just had one of those moments.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: That you've got an ability that's in the same I.
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: Feel like we're not that different from psychics, like we
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: would say, we're very similar.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Yes, and again, huge elephant in the room. We actually
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: don't even have that much power at the end of
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: the day.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: We don't get sure everyone's on the call.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: Literally, we're just making sure everyone's on the call. We
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: get our selects, we'll put those in front of producers,
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: in front of them, We'll do what we can.
• 33:15
  Speaker 7: Should we talk about maybe, uh, casting's choice versus director's choice, and.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Versus studio's choice, versus showrunners choice, versus for make us
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: choice versus America's choice.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's so many choices.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: At the end of the day, it's okay, And if
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: you don't get all of them, you don't get cast
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: favorite choice, you don't get all of them, you don't
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: go with the safest one.
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: But you know what I love.
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: I love when you get to tell him you were
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: one of the choices.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: You gotta say, I got so close, but I just
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: could have went over this one producer. It was in.
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: Marketing can I tell you one of my favorites is
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: when get ready for this? And I tell you this
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: happens all the time. I have a choice. Director is
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: the same choice creative.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: A showrunner who's kind of like creator creator.
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: Yes, barely barely watches everything. It's her choice too. One
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: of the studio reps, Nieces is a new choice. And
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: suddenly we get an intimidating email and it says, your
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: choice is not the part.
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: Let me tell you something for real. Casting has never
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: involved in no You've never picked we don't do.
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: Yes, I'll say we aren't involved in NEO yet we
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: have a front row seat.
• 34:43
  Speaker 8: To arrived at our doorstep. We must receive it.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, and like fireman with a baby like.
• 34:56
  Speaker 7: Step, like somebody from Water and Power who need to
• 35:00
  Speaker 7: check a line in your backyard?
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: If so, cow Gas needs a twelve hour window to
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: come in to fix that wall heater, You give them
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: all twelve.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: Because you have to, because you.
• 35:16
  Speaker 6: Have to have to have a choice.
• 35:18
  Speaker 7: What is a choice that you guys made that that
• 35:21
  Speaker 7: maybe we all know, you know with another direction, what's
• 35:24
  Speaker 7: the one that got away for you?
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: The casting choice?
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: Wilson five hundred days, what a loss? Have been outstand
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: and a couple of associates in my office, a couple
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: of young blonde girls that she was our choice.
• 35:40
  Speaker 6: Like mourning.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: That so sad. It is something to mourn, that's so sad.
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you ripped apart when we were doing we were
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: doing Phantom of the Opera.
• 35:54
  Speaker 6: There were a lot of people coming in for Phantom.
• 35:57
  Speaker 9: We were overwhelmed, and somebody who I was really fighting
• 35:59
  Speaker 9: for was Jimmy Buffet.
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: And yeah, would have been incredible.
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: I was going to get my way on that.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: How much did he push? How much did he push?
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: How mu should I push her?
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: Both?
• 36:10
  Speaker 6: He pushed me to the to the edge.
• 36:13
  Speaker 9: And because he has this persona. I'm a nice guy,
• 36:17
  Speaker 9: you know, but when you get behind a closed door
• 36:20
  Speaker 9: for casting, yeah, of course the tables turned.
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: And everybody loves me.
• 36:23
  Speaker 7: I mean, I've seen some of those tapes and he
• 36:25
  Speaker 7: goes listen to the music of the night sounds like Jeezburger.
• 36:30
  Speaker 6: I loved that choice.
• 36:32
  Speaker 9: Talk about a choice, but the studio didn't go for it.
• 36:35
  Speaker 6: But can I say.
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: Something absolutely and I feel like everyone in the room
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: here might exactly take the words out of my mouth.
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: At least he got in front of them.
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: Yes, he got in front of that.
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: At least he was seen by.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: And you took the words right out of her mouth.
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: At least he got what happened exactly. And I told him.
• 36:59
  Speaker 6: I was like, one you start something new.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, literally, why don't you go do something?
• 37:03
  Speaker 6: And thus Margarita alsborn and this will be all of
• 37:07
  Speaker 6: those creators.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: And this is what we always know. Once you get
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: in front of them, they'll never cast you again.
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: Exactly.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: That's the moment they saw you in that one room,
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: and they won't see you anywhere else.
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: Now you're not emerging talent, the one that got away
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: from me.

  Speaker 7: And I think about this every single day of my life.
• 37:20
  Speaker 7: Charles Barkley is the fish man in shape of Water.

  Speaker 9: but switch it up. I don't want to see the
• 40:12
  Speaker 9: same clip.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: I want to see a new reel every week.
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: Me too. Oh can I tell you this. I don't
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: like the reels anymore because I know they're paying two
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: hundred dollars for more than two minutes. I want the
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: reels cut up into clips.
• 40:22
  Speaker 8: Yes, so interesting. I actually changed my opinion on this
• 40:25
  Speaker 8: every other week.
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: Yes, so they should just pay for all of it.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: Yes, so we should.
• 40:30
  Speaker 8: Be clips and.
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: Full reel.
• 40:32
  Speaker 8: But if you send me both, I'm.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: Pisso see, I'm like, throw it all away. I want
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: I don't even care. I want you to shoot in
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: the woods. I want you to shoot bad lighting. I
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: want to be freaked out. I want you to make
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: this a short film. Are you listening, actors? Are you listening?
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: Your audition should be shot like a short film. Throw
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: it all away. Different angles make.
• 40:50
  Speaker 5: Me throw up.
• 40:51
  Speaker 7: And I think, what's so interesting about this is if
• 40:54
  Speaker 7: you watch this, and this is huge for actors that
• 40:56
  Speaker 7: have Yeah, we all have vastly different preferences and vastly
• 41:00
  Speaker 7: different choices we want you to make, and they're even conflicting,
• 41:04
  Speaker 7: and we're going to do nothing about.
• 41:06
  Speaker 6: That, and that's we're gonna be a little angry about it.
• 41:09
  Speaker 8: We're going to be a little timmy.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 41:13
  Speaker 9: And in that email when I when I send those
• 41:15
  Speaker 9: emails out and I give explicit direction, that is drum.
• 41:18
  Speaker 6: You know what I mean.
• 41:19
  Speaker 9: If not every single step is followed to a t,
• 41:23
  Speaker 9: I'm out.

• 42:32
  Speaker 5: I need to know if.
• 42:33
  Speaker 7: You're willing to shave or willing to not shave. That's
• 42:36
  Speaker 7: really important to me. I need to know if you
• 42:38
  Speaker 7: have scoliosis. And I want it all to be in
• 42:41
  Speaker 7: a full body shot.
• 42:42

• 42:50
  Speaker 3: I don't want I want a separate clip.
• 42:52
  Speaker 9: I want the full body for about thirty seconds. I
• 42:54
  Speaker 9: want you to let it linger because I want to
• 42:56
  Speaker 9: also take a little spin. I want to see what
• 42:57
  Speaker 9: you look like from all angles.
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: Do you like when they say something fun?
• 43:00
  Speaker 6: I don't want any words in the full body.
• 43:02
  Speaker 9: Maybe a couple of wings, maybe a couple of little
• 43:04
  Speaker 9: dance moves if you have it, and I'm.
• 43:06
  Speaker 8: Also don't bore me, but I get bored during the
• 43:09
  Speaker 8: full body shot.
• 43:10
  Speaker 5: Don't want.
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: Right, I want to pull out.
• 43:18
  Speaker 9: So I want the full body without a cut into
• 43:20
  Speaker 9: a horizontal with your name, your location, and give me
• 43:25
  Speaker 9: a horoscope, give me some fun fact, but I don't
• 43:28
  Speaker 9: want to cut quickly, and remember, don't keep me away.
• 43:32
  Speaker 7: This is important to know. Five syllables equals one second.
• 43:35
  Speaker 7: So if you think one one thousand two, you know
• 43:40
  Speaker 7: five syllables clothes, So think about that when you're speaking.
• 43:44
  Speaker 5: Five syllables is one second.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: And if I see a slate, I throw out the
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: whole tape. I fucking hate you give me a slate,
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: I throw it away. And I just for the actors
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: out here, A lot of these teachers I'm hearing saying
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: the slate is just for filing.
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: It's not important. It's literally the most important thing you
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: can do in your whole audition.
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: It's the first moment we see you, and we will
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: judge you immediately based on your slate, and you state
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: I don't want to see them anywhere. And if I
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: see a slate, I'm already pissed off because I feel
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: like I'm getting your personality, not the character that you're
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: trying to bring to life.
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: What's so funny is we all just said our opinions.
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: They're all so different, and our opinions are going to change.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: Exactly, They're going to change so strong and again just
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: a reminder, there is one answer to get cast every
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: time in the dream roles that you want, but we
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: won't tell you.
• 44:31
  Speaker 6: It's a secret word.
• 44:32
  Speaker 8: If you can guess the secret word.
• 44:35
  Speaker 6: And we said it here today.
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: Well, I just have a fun little thing before we go.
• 44:39
  Speaker 8: We said it somewhere today.
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: I can't believe you said it, but you did. You
• 44:44
  Speaker 5: said it.
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: So I've just got a fun thing before we go.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: I just I brought some sides and I was wondering
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: if we could have like maybe a live session just
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: to see how everybody works and stuff like that.
• 44:52
  Speaker 6: Sure, like us acting them out, because that's like it's
