This page contains auditions posted on Friday, May 20, 2011.
As many of us already know, this industry can be very competitive. While you may go into an audition and nail it, you may learn later that they were looking for an actor with blonde hair and blue eyes, as opposed to the gorgeous red hair and dark eyes you were born with.
There are things in this industry that are out of our control when it comes to casting. The things that are in our control are those we should be working on and bettering to ensure we can better our chances of getting cast. The obvious traits in our control are talent, and we have discussed the importance of continuing to take classes and train. The not-so-obvious things in our control focus in on looks.
Many will tell you that maintaining healthy eating habits and a healthy figure are part of the job. In a recent news article, a variety of celebrities were interviewed for tips and advice on how they maintain their killer bods, and it came down to two simple things: nutrition and exercise. Yes, they have money for a nutritionist and a personal trainer, but they also consistently eat the same number of calories everyday, and workout everyday. This helps them stay fit, helps them look healthy, and even helps them keep their skin looking nice and fresh.
There was recently a casting for hand models, and many of us may have looked down at our hands to find scratches, scars, and unkept nails. This is another thing in our control - making sure that from head to toe, we look good for the part we are auditioning for.
It sounds obvious, but in this industry, you are the product, so being the best you is vital.
Maybe it's not as important to maintain your looks, but keeping your mind at ease is sufficient in helping you live a healthy lifestyle, and stay calm and collected when you audition and book those parts.
What do you do to stay healthy, relaxed and at ease, and looking good? Do you whiten your teeth, work out regularly, meditate, do yoga, or even sleep with gloves on to protect your hands? This industry is full of secrets to keep you looking and feeling good, but sometimes it's just as simple as working out, eating right, and doing whatever you need to do to stay grounded and relaxed.
Share your success stories on how you stay on top of looking the best you can and as grounded as you can be.
As always, if you are a fan of the blog, please share this with actor friends. If you have any feedback for me on how to improve my blog, share this with me so that I may work on improving the blog.
Thanks.

50's / 60's Surf Style Dancers (female) needed for Music Video (Eastside)
We are shooting a Rock music video for a band local to Seattle this Saturday, May 21st out at Microsoft Studios in Redmond and are in need of 3 additional female dancers. We initially had 6 dancers (Cornish) booked but due to schedule conflicts, 3 cannot make it and we are looking to fill thier spots.
Due to the feel of the song having an old school "surf" vibe, we are looking for dancers who are familiar with, or are experienced enough to learn dances in the style of that era quickly on set. We currently have a choreographer who will be there teaching (as well as dancing) the songs opening and breakdown sequences as well as the freestyle portions throughout. The dances will be along the lines of those famously danced by Lada St. Edmund back in the 60's. Google her if you're not familar with her, she's awesome.
You would be required to be at Microsoft Studios from 10am - 6pm this Saturday, May 21st. We already have wardrobe for you and food and beverages will be provided throughout the day.
**Note: this is unpaid gig but a great opportunity for possible national exposure and an awesome addition to your resume. Once completed, we will be pushing the video to outlets like MTV, VH1, etc...
If you are interested and are experienced at learning choreography quickly, please contact us asap so we can give you further details.
