  • Absolutely love what Equity Foundation provides to its members. I have attended many (if not most) of the Zoom recordings presented in the podcast, but it's great that so many are being made availble to re-listen to.

US Accent Livestream with Charley Layton
Q: What are the most important features to focus on when dialing in an American vs Australian accent?
Key areas include R pronunciation, nasalization control, L timing (light vs dark L), and the way A and O vowels are moved (diphthongs) to keep the accent sounding natural in the target region.
How to Make Money Playing Yourself with Michael Pope
Q: How do you warm up an audience and what skills help you connect quickly with others?
Michael describes focusing on the audience, maintaining a professional attitude, and using improvisation and empathy to engage people. He emphasizes timing, staying calm under pressure, and turning up with energy to connect with individuals in the moment, while treating the group as a cohesive audience.
Acting for Late Bloomers (It’s never too late to start) with David John Clark
Q: Is it ever okay to turn down an audition?
Yes, you can turn down auditions for reasons like scheduling or aligning with personal principles, but communicate honestly and professionally with your agent to maintain relationships.
Acting for Late Bloomers (It’s never too late to start) with David John Clark
Q: What should be added to the bio when reaching out to casting agents?
Keep it short, sharp, and clear; avoid leading with 'I'm an actor' and instead state your concrete value and your current readiness, with a succinct description of what you offer.
Acting for Late Bloomers (It’s never too late to start) with David John Clark
Q: Is it okay to have multiple agents?
Generally not in Australia; usually one agency, with rare exceptions such as separate VO representation, but it is possible in some cases to manage multiple agreements with careful coordination.
