What show should my highschool do?  Apr 16 2018, 07:32:42 PM
Addams Family! Lots of male roles and you can fly Uncle Fester in the end.

How do I even attempt to audition?  Apr 8 2018, 01:51:57 PM
^As a non-union actor from NYC, it has actually in my experience been easier to get seen for Broadway shows than for theatres that give EMC points, since the latter is seen as a more "realistic" job and more actors attend during a shorter audition period. As Brody said, if at all possible, get your card or at least lots of points before moving to NYC.

Wow, I can't believe this was almost a decade ago already! No idea how you found this thread lol, but yes, the older songs went over the best.

That's silly- in this day and age, the only difference between young Equity and non-Equity performers is that the non-Eqs haven't lucked into getting union membership yet.  The only difference would be when age comes into play, as it's harder to find older actors who are not yet in the union.  But for anyone who would be in "Rent," it's all abou


EMC/Non-Eq Actors attending AEA auditions...  Mar 8 2018, 05:07:00 PM
Your EMC status is irrelevant at an ECC- you are considered non-eq.
For the EPA, you can sign up on the EMC list any time before the lunch break. There is no way to predict how crowded it will be, but obviously the earlier you arrive/sign in, the more likely you will get seen.


what do new actors look for in their first job  Feb 26 2018, 11:22:17 PM

You audition for anything you can feasibly be cast in.  It's totally your call whether you audition for unpaid gigs or not.  Bonus points go to shows that will give you some form of upward mobility, such as EMC points.



DEH National Tour Callbacks  Feb 26 2018, 11:18:22 PM

There were well over 400 guys at the in-person open call, so odds of your submission even getting watched for more than a few seconds are slim.  And just so you know, usually nothing ever comes of these open calls for Broadway shows.  It happens, but is extremely rare to even get a callback from something like this.



Who Sang The  Feb 1 2018, 06:10:25 PM
Patti and Caroline definitely come across the best to my ears in this particular video.
I saw Christina DeCicco live and she was INCREDIBLE- infinitely better than she was in this video.
Espinosa sounds great but is a tad flat in pitch. Also disappointed by Murney's pinched tone- I bet she was much better live, as well.

@Dave, you make a lot of great points, but you're conflating the terms "actor who sings" and "singing actor." The performers you label as "acting in spite of song" (Stritch, Dench, etc) fall into the "actor who sings" category, as they are predominantly acting and secondarily singing. These performers aren't great singers or musicians, but they know how to "sell" a song, which is what I perceived the original post to be asking for. The

@adamgreer, my mind automatically went to Elaine Stritch as well- she was the quintessential "actor who sings."



Alex Gibson Spongebob  Jan 7 2018, 01:16:14 AM

I saw him tonight and he was phenomenal!  This was my first time seeing the show and I've never seen the cartoon, so I didn't find anything puzzling.



Broadway Casting Director Fired for Sexual Misconduct  Dec 1 2017, 09:41:49 AM
Ah, gotcha. Sorry about that, I was in a mood last night lol.

Broadway Casting Director Fired for Sexual Misconduct  Dec 1 2017, 09:22:16 AM
@DancingThruLife and MyLife, that was my gut reaction to the news. I admitted the statement was obtuse and understand that these actions are all about abuse of power. But it's human nature to INITIALLY think "him?! Why would he need to that?!" It was foolish of me to post so quickly, but I know I'm not the only actor to have that gut reaction (I texted a friend last night who said "that's what I said!").
@Lot666 the frequent misuse of the terminology in this thread is akin to the "cast

Thank you, BroadwayBoy, that makes a lot of sense.  And yes, I've always wondered why Telsey seems to cast more than half of Broadway musicals.



Broadway Casting Director Fired for Sexual Misconduct  Dec 1 2017, 01:14:50 AM
@Feste, totally! But that doesn't make it less surprising.
@Trish2, I did not know that and assumed from context that he was single. How terrible for his family. My admittedly obtuse comment was my gut response when first hearing the news and simply due to my surprise that it was Justin, and not other [significantly less attractive] casting directors who one would assume to be more likely to use their power to get sex since it might be their only chance of doing so.


Broadway Casting Director Fired for Sexual Misconduct  Dec 1 2017, 12:38:46 AM

Guys, it's office.  Casting office.  Not casting agency.  There are casting directors and talent agents.  Confusing the terminology makes those of us in the industry assume you have no idea what you're talking about.

@taboo this will have no impact whatsoever on actors currently in shows.

Broadway Casting Director Fired for Sexual Misconduct  Dec 1 2017, 12:19:16 AM
As a frequently auditioning actor, I am not surprised that this sort of thing has happened in general but AM surprised that it's Justin of all people. He has always seemed very nice and is frankly attractive enough that he should be able to get just about anyone he wants without resorting to misconduct.

^I completely agree. Also, I would bet that she sang the song in the original key during the audition process, and obviously did so well enough to get cast. My guess is that lowering the key was the music director's decision, likely because it simply fits her voice better and is less taxing for someone so young to sing eight times a week.
