Actors who want to build better relationships with casting directors...this episode is for you! So many actors are incredibly eager to get in front of CDs, but WHAT do you do when you finally get their attention and HOW can you make sure to make a good impression? This week we give insight into the things that casting offices see and have to do on their end when working on a project. Spoiler alert: it's a lot! They are usually drowning in work, and often have more stress on their plate than you would ever imagine. This two-part series will help you have empathy for casting directors while giving you some very concrete examples of how to make a good impression with them. This is the behind-the-scenes industry info you've been waiting for!

We're trying something new! With everything going on in the world, here’s a guided meditation (Body Scan) designed to ground you and re-associate you into your body. This Body Scan exercise is pulled from the movement programs at the top acting MFA programs in the country. We also paired it with our own original binaural beats, which are scientifically proven to link your left and right hemispheres in order to facilitate maximum benefit while listening to the meditation. The entire team at Film On Tape hopes this unique episode is relaxing and uplifting.
