GROUP Q&A 2-HOUR GROUP Q&A *NEW*
Ask your own question(s) and/or learn from other's, and sometimes the best tips come from your peers!
What are the generic answers to some frequently asked questions, and what are the nuances you need to consider for your own career? I have a headline desire to debunk the casting process so as an actor you can approach it strategically to your best results, I expect us to cover (at least) CV management, marketing your brand, self-tape practice, and audition prep.
