  • Summary

  • This podcast will to help you understand the ins and outs of background acting, what it takes to get started, and how to manage the complexities of making a living or just some extra cash. My goal is to educate you based on my personal experience as a background actor here in the ATL, where I did 30 projects in my first six months after stumbling into the industry in October of 2019. So, sit back, listen, and learn. On your own time. At your pace. Whenever you want to. I'm hoping you enjoy it and can learn from what I have to say. It's my own personal scoop on the world of background acting. Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thebackgroundscoop/support

  • S2 E15: Cutlers Court

    S2 E15: Cutlers Court
    Aug 27 2023
    In this episode, I talk about two different court TV shows I worked on recently, a user generated content project I did (otherwise known as UGC), visiting a college campus where a TV show I worked on was set, doing my first web series, and the start of a Commercial Audition class I'm taking at The Alliance Theatre. Since I'm doing much less background and more real acting these days, I should probably rename this "The Acting Scoop," but that would likely be too complicated a thing to do, so I'll just skip it.
