Labour T.V Ad Last Night

Casting Call ProHmm....no matter my political affiliation I kind of liked the Labour T.V ad and the use of respected actors -in particular James Purefoy who i thought was utterly amazing in 'Injustice' as the barrister with a double life as a murderer. Even mild mannered, intelligent cultured 'barristers' can kill!

A successful actor I knew always talked of the absolute need for believability as an actor. As an audience we need to believe the actor IS that character. That William Travers or whoever is real and is the person he portrays. Achieving that believability is no mean feat as we've all seen wooden actors.

No, if the aim was to get my attention it certainly did that.....................................

Advertising on T.V needs to be clever enough or /and subtle enough to gain and more importantly hold our attention

The Audition Trail Continues..............

Casting Call Pro They do say auditions are like buses. Nothing happens then two come along. Well, went today to Liverpool for a sitcom pilot audition. I'd like to say I'm uber confident but the truth is you can't help but look at listen to your rivals who seem far more confident and capable than you. Would love the part but so did the many others who attended too.

I've had an email asking me to audition for film next year to premiere in Manchester -not till April (the audition) a record in terms of notice!!  Interestingly both are comedies......hmm

U.K Reality Shows versus U.S Reality Shows

Casting Call ProWas contemplating the U.K v the U.S reality market. What makes U.K participants so different from our U.S counterparts?  There's a common misconception that people from the U.K are more reserved. Clearly you only have to watch Big Brother or Wife Swap to see that's not the case. Is perhaps that the competition and maybe the prize are greater and therefore aspiring wannabees need to 'be out there' in terms of their behaviour?

I read the audition posts for U.S shows and I've read more than once that you need to show you stand out from the rest. Does that mean you over exaggerate your personality traits to get the job. Are you actually being yourself or is too tempting to be someone you are not to be cast?

Would you be someone you are not to get onto to one of these shows?....
