by Dennis Shanaberg via NEohioPAL 07 Mar '17

07 Mar '17

*ACTORS NEEDED*for *OUTTA THE FIRE:*A Narrative Cooking Show Dramedy TV Show: Thirteen 23-Minute Episodes *Outta the Fire *is a TV series looking for actors to fill comedic roles. Actors who are versed in both comedy and drama are preferred, due to the sometimes dark nature of the show. This series is to be shot in the *Cleveland* area throughout spring and summer, with most shooting days falling on weekends. The shooting schedule will be set to work with varying schedules upon final casting. Positions are currently unpaid and non-Union, but exceptions may be accommodated. Actors will need to prepare a short monologue for the audition, and sides will be provided day of as needed. Additionally, bring a headshot along with your contact information (email/phone), height, hair color, eye color, date of birth, and any additional items you wish to be considered. To sign up for an audition time, or if you have any questions, you can contact: *OuttaTheFireTV(a)gmail.com <OuttaTheFireTV(a)gmail.com>* *Audition Location: Skeleton Stewdios, 2570 Superior Ave, Cleveland, OH* *Auditions: Sun, Mar. 12 @ 10 am**Callbacks: Sun, Mar. 26 @ 10 am* *Additional Accommodations may be made for Online Auditions, but In-Person will be Preferred.* Synopsis: “Outta the Fire” tells the story of egotistical ex-celebrity chef Ryan Goldberg, as he looks for fame once more on the set of a deliciously unorthodox cooking show. But his ambitions are hindered by an apathetic film crew, an incompetent assistant (Dennis Heilman), and the evil machinations of the show’s producer (who goes only by Joe). With a solid recipe of carrot sticks, sexual harassment, bad food puns, and bitter sweet endings, he’ll be lucky to keep the show from literally burning to the ground. Welcome to “Outta the Fire”! *Character Bios:* *Bree Ono [female] {20-25]*—Supporting Character If you've ever been to Coachella or the Social Justice Warrior side of Tumblr, you've probably seen Brie. She purports the ideologies of feminism, veganism, and equality, while simultaneously trying to control and demean those around her. Scantily clad and promiscuous, she has the ability to tear apart the very fragile dynamics that keep Ryan, Joe, and Dennis from killing one another. *Cindi [female] {18-25}*—Supporting Character Cindi is one of a couple Production Assistant’s on this show. While she is a hard worker, willing to do whatever tasks are requested of her, her irritation grows as she is constantly overlooked by the other cast and crew. Even as her frustration grows, it is barely noticed, hidden behind her diminutive stature and soft voice. *Pepe [male] [25-40]*—Supporting Character A flamboyant, alcoholic, Mexican makeup artist, with all the stereotypes that might come along with that. He remains an opponent of oppression (Ryan) and a defender of the weak (Dennis). With a flick of his scarf, he will either sass back with a harsh jab or lend a helping bottle of candy sweet alcohol. *Interviewer [female] [20-35]*—Supporting Character With a background in improv comedy and a healthy amount of professionalism, she comes to interview the cast and crew of "Outta the Fire”. Upon realizing how awful they all are though [especially Ryan], she wants nothing more than to get out. But little does she know, her hatred for them will bind her to the show in a way she never would have guessed. *Olivia [female] [25-40]*—Supporting Character A beautiful woman that is the object of Ryan's affections. Always dressed to impress, she's a woman who knows what she wants. With everything that she says, you can hear her intelligence, and every action is purposeful. For her part, she serves as Ryan's cooking assistant in an episode from his old show. But he treats her, not as he treats his cast and crew now, but as close to an equal as his ego will allow. *Deep Voiced Hype Man [male]*—Supporting Character A disembodied voice that sometimes lends his talents to the cast and crew. He is a little too exuberant. When he gets reprimanded for Ryan for just that flaw, he has no issue with retaliating in the only way he can. *Gun Store Owner*--Featured Extra He runs the gun store. *Craft Services Guy*--Featured Extra He runs the craft services table. Needs to have a hearty yell. *Woods Priest*--Featured Extra: Wears a priests outfit. Marries people in the woods. *Cloaked Killer*Wears a cloak. Kills people. *Other Featured Extras*

When asked about hosting an artist of Bergeron's magnitude, Garlock exclaimed, "We are ecstatic to host and present the World's Greatest high trumpet player <http://cts.vresp.com/c/?AshlandUniversityMus/790cf7f9d0/TEST/a944cefc1e/v=k…>. Everyone wants him and he is coming to Ashland." >From his early career years as the lead trumpet chair with Maynard Ferguson’s band, Bergeron earned high marks from Maynard who remarked, “Wayne is the most musical lead trumpet player I’ve had on my band.” His endless list of performance and recording credits have soared ever since.

Learn how to get roles, land an agent, and make money acting on camera
by Brian Bowers via NEohioPAL 07 Mar '17

‘Make Money Acting’ Bootcamp <http://gorillafilmschool.com/make-money-acting-bootcamp/>Saturday, March 18th 9:30am – 3:00pmCleveland, OH (Location TBA) Do you belong in front of the camera?Do you have dreams of working in film, TV, and commercials? The entertainment world can be very exciting, but also very daunting at the same time. Have the following thoughts ever run through your mind? *How do I get an agent?* *Where do people find out about auditions for the big films?* *Do I need headshots? Or a film reel?* *Should I move to LA to try to find work?* *How can I actually make money doing this?* If you’ve had any of these thoughts, don’t worry–you’re not alone! In fact, MOST actors have had these questions at some point in their career. People aren’t born knowing how to navigate the ins and outs of the entertainment industry–for most people, their knowledge comes from years of experience working as an actor, going to auditions, taking good roles and bad roles, working hard to get noticed by agents and casting directors so they can slowly move up the acting food chain. That’s certainly one way to do it. But if you’re like most actors outside of Hollywood, you probably don’t have the time or the energy to go through all of those steps. You probably have a job, or school, or a family to take care of. You may not have the flexibility in your schedule to go to EVERY single audition just to get enough experience to figure out what you’re doing. And really, who needs the frustration of going to auditions and getting tons of rejections when you may never even be considering a full time career in acting. That’s why we created the ‘Make Money Acting’ Bootcamp. We will teach you, step-by-step, exactly what you need to know in order to go from no acting experience to booking national commercials. This information has been tested over many years, and is the exact same material and techniques used by talent agencies to get actors booked in commercials, industrial training videos, commercial print, TV, and film. The material works: - Even if you’ve never acted before - Even if you don’t have headshots, a reel, or any other marketing materials - Even if you’ve met with talent agencies in the past and haven’t been signed - Even if you’ve been the victim of one of the many acting scams out there - Even if you have no idea who to trust or where to start Hi, I’m Brian Bowers. I’m a former talent agent who has successfully negotiated tens of thousands of dollars in bookings for actors and models in commercials, TV, film, voiceovers, and print. I continue to work in the film industry today, helping producers and filmmakers create films as a part of the world’s largest timed film competition. I’ve worked in the entertainment industry for over 30 years–as an actor, producer, photographer, entrepreneur, and more. As an agent, it was easy to see which actors were going to be successful. The ones that did exactly as we instructed them did very well–they were called in for tons of auditions, got booked on lots of jobs (some of them very high-paying), and were even requested by clients for future gigs that they didn’t even have to audition for. That’s how I know the techniques I’m going to show you actually work–because they are the same techniques these successful actors used to get regular bookings and make money working in the entertainment industry. Registration for the 'Make Money Acting' Bootcamp is open now, but there are limited spaces available. To see exactly what will be covered during the event and get more information, visit http://gorillafilmschool.com/make-money-acting-bootcamp/.
