Casting Feature Film
by adam＠saturnestudios.com 22 Jul '20

22 Jul '20

Casting a feature film. Paid role, non union. Filming has already begun so we need someone quickly! JACK: Jack, the grandfather to our main character, TJ. TJ has spent most of her life in foster care and until recently did not know she had any biological family. On her 16th birthday, TJ receives a gift from her grandfather leading her to want to seek him out. She and her friends go on a road trip to find him. Jack, a recovering alcoholic, regrets not having TJ in his life. After his daughter Amy died, TJ was sent into foster care. Jack now wants to reach out and connect with her, hoping she can forgive him. Jacks’ character shoots a total of 12 days. Those days are scattered through August and September. We will be filming out near East Liverpool as we needed a location that could double for West Virginia and not be so far. We shot a concept trailer for this film a while back that would give you some idea of what it is we are trying to do.

Auditions for "Wicked Fun" - Concert of songs from "Wicked"
by Richard Zenk 21 Jul '20

21 Jul '20

Equality Productions announces auditions for musical theater performers who want to participate in a recorded virtual concert of "Wicked Fun" - Songs from the musical "Wicked". The recorded performances will be sung in a cabaret-style. As the concert is a benefit, the roles are non-paid. By August 1st, email the role for your audition, your theater resume, day and time of your weekday evening and weekend afternoon conflicts from 8/5-8/31, and a video recording of one song to equalityproductionscincy(a)gmail.com. All auditionees will be considered for the role they chose as well as the other roles, including the ensemble. The performers will have rehearsals with Kristi Hiner, the musical director, and Richard Zenk, director on Zoom. Therefore, all auditionees must have a high-speed internet connection, a webcam with a microphone, PC speakers, and a room with a neutral-colored wall. Not all performers will be required at all rehearsals. ELPHABA: Age 16-35 with a vocal range: Mezzo-Soprano - F3 to F5 Elphaba is the main protagonist, who becomes known as the Wicked Witch of the West. She is intelligent, honest, likable but misunderstood. Her internal ‘goodness’ is juxtaposed to the oppression of the world around her – a conflict she battles internally and externally. Audition song: "Defying Gravity" Link to instrumental: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pqw-wkgJzL8 GLINDA: Age 16-35 with a vocal range: Soprano – G3 to C6 (optional G6) Glinda is a complex character, nowhere near as superficial as she seems at first. She is as cunning as she is bubbly, a passionate, popular and loveable individual who uses her intelligence and social standing to manipulate her colleagues and friends. Audition song: "Popular" Link to instrumental: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HBJC-kIuVo THE WIZARD OF OZ - Age 30+ with a vocal range: Baritone The Wizard is a softly spoken, blindly confident, easily influenced, superficial person. A metaphorical example of the corruption of power through false representation, the wizard trades his morality for popularity. His grand façade is a representation of his false power. Audition song: "A Sentimental Man" Link to instrumental: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMSfO3T83mU If auditioning for the roles below or the ensemble, pick a Broadway song that has an instrumental track on YouTube for your audition song. MADAME MORRIBLE: Age 40+ Vocal Range: Alto – G3 to B4 Madame Morrible is a dark, conniving, and cunning character. Highly manipulative, seductive and inherently evil, she has no internal conflict as to the nature of her character. FIYERO: Age 16-35 Vocal Range: Tenor – F3 to G5 Fiyero is a seemingly one-dimensional character but has significantly more substance than his striking looks suggest. Social, affable, and lovable, Fiyero is fun, smooth, and at times naive. He is intelligent and torn by the social demands of vanity, peer pressure, and propaganda. DR DILLAMOND: Age 30+ Baritone. Dr. Dillamond is the moral compass. A teacher of life sciences and a philosopher, he is warm, noble, and fatherly.

SIGN UP FOR ACTING BY MISTAKE - A CLASS TAUGHT BY WILLIAM ROUDEBUSH BEGINNING 7/27/20
by CVActor 20 Jul '20

20 Jul '20

ACTING BY MISTAKE A CLASS TAUGHT BY: WILLIAM ROUDEBUSH Below are the dates for my NEWLY ADDED session of ACTING BY MISTAKE on ZOOM (The Sunday night session is full.) If you wish to enroll please do so as soon as possible to reserve your slot. (five slots currently available). CLASS BEGINS: Monday: July 27th from 6:30pm to 9:30pm LOCATION: On your computer or I-Phone Cost: $325 for 6 consecutive 3 hour sessions each Monday thru August 31st Class Size Limit: 6 (You will work every session) ACTING BY MISTAKE is a practical guide to auditioning, rehearsing and performance that leads actors to trust themselves, utilize their fears, create from their mistakes and head toward a more positive process. To enroll: Contact William Roudebush by email at dentay1(a)juno.com For background information on the book ACTING BY MISTAKE go to xlibris.com For background information on William Roudebush go to williamroudebush.com “His uncanny genius is knowing how the actor and the play can work together like a Swiss watch.” ~ William Mastrosimone, playwright. “I love working with Bill in his ACTING BY MISTAKE workshops. I’ve been taking his workshops for over two years now. He gets us to ‘connect’ with the character in an organic way. He helps us allay the normal fears we have as actors, and our need to get it ‘right’, by creating a playful process in which we focus more on the character’s experience than getting the exact words of the text correct in the rehearsal process. That is so freeing. I’m feeling much more confident now in how I approach a character, and trust that organic process of developing a character.” ~ John Sannuto, Chair, Theatre Department, Long Island University. “Bill is not a “one size fits all “acting teacher. Though he works with some fundamental principles, he regards every student as a complex individual and actively learns how to speak to each one using precise language that particular person will comprehend. The result is a swift, profound deepening of his students’ practice. His dedication and love for the art of acting is total. He places very serious demands for those in his classes with great respect and kindness. I’ve never had a teacher like him! ~ Eric Diamond, NYC dancer/actor.
