Laying Down The Perfect Slate
Hey there!
I’ve gotten several questions and comments about the way I talk about slating – and I wanted to let you in on my personal slating approach.
Remember…this is your one chance to make a great first impression. And your slate is one of the most overlooked, thrown-away, yet important pieces of your audition real estate.
Here’s how to make your slates world-class awesome.

Beware Of Overkill
Hey there!
It’s a natural thing to want to be complete and thorough with your information.
But sometimes, you can do too much too soon, or think that “upping your game” to a pristine level is the way to a more effective process.
Sometimes, doing so can be a turn off — or a waste of time. Instead, try this.

The Real Purpose Of The “Can You Hear Me?” Phone Scam
Hey there!
Scammers are nothing if not ingenious. And there’s a scam that’s been going around for years I want you to be particularly aware of. And even though it can be harmfule, we’re giving scammers a bit more credit than they’re due.
It’s called the “Can You Hear Me?” scam. Here’s what it really is, how to recognize it, and how to avoid it.

“Young People Are Just Smarter.”
Hey there!
Yeah. I know, right? Mark Zuckerberg actually said that, back in 2007.
He was responding to a question about how as tech workers age, they are systematically squeezed out of the opportunity stream at their companies, and how tech is perceived as a young person’s game.
I’ve got a couple of suggestions on how to show people like Mark that they can go pound salt with their ageist attitudes.

Is Simply Discouraging Distracted Driving Enough?
Hey there!
You may know that I have an app called Rehearsal® Pro that helps actors learn their lines. In a nutshell, you record your scenes, and then you rehearse over and over again until you have the lines down cold.
Now, I know that the actors that use my app “stay fresh” on their way to whatever event they’ve been preparing for, like an audition, or a stage rehearsal, in the car, with the app. We allow the app to connect to your car’s Bluetooth, and we recently added a Car Play Mode similar to what the Audible app has.
When I sent out a note to the Rehearsal® Pro users that this option was now available, I wasn’t expecting such a huge barrage of thank you and kudos for making this mode an option.
Nor was I expecting one commenter who was anything but grateful.

Jamie Has Some Thoughts About Fiverr
Hey there!
I shot a video recently that discussed the various avenues from which we all get performance work, and I didn’t have particularly nice things to say about Fiverr.
Jamie was watching, and had some things to say and some points to make, and I thought you should hear them as well.
Here’s what he said.

Increase Your Chances Of Being Seen And Heard On Facebook
ACT NOW: Take this incredible Accents and Dialects class at $300 off, only through Tuesday night.
Hey there!
Facebook made some changes recently to how they structure notifications – those are the emails they send out to you when something happens you asked to be notified about…like a new post in a group you’re in, or a comment to a post you’re following.
The thing is, they made those notifications more compact, and that’s actually a problem.
If you want to be heard, here are two things you need to do with every post you make.
