"The production company behind films like The Dark Knight, Pacific Rim, and Godzilla just made a significant addition to its digital portfolio. Legendary has acquired Geek & Sundry, the online video network run by Felicia Day.
Since 2012, Geek & Sundry–which originally launched as part of the YouTube Original Channels Initiative–has served as a home for nerd-friendly web series like Wil Wheaton’s TableTop, Bryan Singer’s Spooked, and, for its final season, Day’s The Guild. The network has also created a small community of vloggers who present their thoughts on various geeky subjects.

"Geek & Sundry will become an integral part of Legendary’s digital division, which also counts Chris Hardwick’s Nerdist Channel among its assets. As part of the deal, Legendary will work with Day to create several scripted and non-scripted series that will roll out across digital and traditional media platforms. Those series will feature Day as both creator and star.
The film studio’s connection to top sci-fi and fantasy franchises makes it an ideal partner for Geek & Sundry and its army of nerds. In a press release, Day claims that Legendary “aligns authentically with my audience’s interests,” and she’s right. Legendary often leverages YouTube channels to help promote its upcoming films, and Geek & Sundry fits into that process well.

How To Get A Good Agent

A agent needs a great head shot and needs the actor to be confident. Confidence is a major factor when you audition in front of producers and studio network executives.
1.Find a great photographer at LACasting.com under services. Go through the photos and pick the photographer who knows how to shoot a great drama and commercial head shot.
Dana Patrick is a well liked photographer
James at FailSafephotography.com is a great photographer as well.
2. Work on your craft. Top 5 Acting Schools that are great:
Larry Moss at Edgemar Studo in Venice is great.
Tell Michelle Danner I sent you.
Ivana Chubbuck is great.
Adam Lazarer White is fantastic!!! http://www.adamlazarre-white.com/
Howard Fine HowardFine.com is wonderful
Margie Haber
Playhouse West Acting School Jeff Goldblum's acting school
Will Wallace a hidden class with real actor teaching film techniques
Joanne Barron/DW Brown Meisner class

3. Meet Casting Directors and Agents at professional events like:
TheActorsInterview.com tell Joe I sent you.
TheActorsCompany.com tell Daniel I sent you.
TheNetWorkStudio.com tell Jenny, Melissa & Tim I sent you.
TheActorsAdvantage.com
You can do showcases to meet both agents and managers.
Pick a great TV scene that showcases who you are and how you can be easily casted.
Market yourself. Are you a Mom, Doctor, Lawyer, Detective, Nurse, Housewife, Senator's Wife, Nerd, Computer tech, jock, teen, assistant DA or lead.
Leads: must look like a lead which means working out and looking like you can carry a 2 hour movie or hour TV show.

4. Enter TV show contests for exposure and marketing.
Shows like American Idol, The Glee Project and any online movie audition are really to introduce you to an audience that will get to know you and like you.

5. Mail your head shots in clear envelops to agents with short cover letter.
Many agents have open casting calls. Always call to make sure when before you go or look on line.
Daniel Hoff Agency West Hollywood has open casting 2-3 on Fridays
The Jack Lipman Agency Beverly Hills has open casting 10-12 weekdays.
The Polygon Group Burbank has open casting on Wednesday 1-3.
The Brogan Agency Venice has open casting on Wednesday 3-5.
Always ask other actors for referrals that you meet.
Actors should be other actors best friends as they could refer you to a agent or job.

6. Casting Directors usually like a post card which says that you are on a show or update your agent information. But they prefer mail only when it is for a specific role that they are currently casting.

7. Luck and persistence usually is the old fashion tools for success.

Good luck and I hope this helps.

Don't forget to check out my movie audition and let me know what you think!!! lol

Thank you.

Inside Experience Movie Casting Call

I just audition for a movie starring Emmy Rossum using social media youtube. My acting scene will be looked at by director DJ Caruso. The audience helps to select a unknown to be in the film by viewing their favorite contestants. View me here:
http://theinsideexperience.com/#/gallery/nad4VtScIvs

Do you want to audition for the film?
You simply pick a script. Learn the lines. Tape your scene. Upload to youtube. Copy your unique user link to contest site. Enter by following rules. This is a lot better than standing in line outside in the heat and waiting a full day to read for one open role. Trust me.

Now, people will view your taped scene against all the other actors so being a social wiz is a must and having lots of friends is even better. I wish I was Lady Ga Ga or Mark Zuckerberg right now as I would have lots of followers, too. Okay, maybe I don't wish I was a guy but you know what I mean-they have more than enough friends.

So, if you viewed my profiled and liked it Thank you. You are awesome. I hope that I win so I can start working and leave my high paying wonderful day job behind!!!

Oh, this is my link so you can let me know how you think I did.

Star Pop Ups at Night

It never fails to amaze oneself when you see stars at night in LA. Oh... I meant in the sky-- but you're probably wondering what star I saw. Well.....I'll tell you. Jeff Goldblum and Kevin Spacey. What? Where you ask?
First I went out to happy hour at the famed Le Bohe'me in West Hollywood on Santa Monica Blvd. The usual suspects were there: actors, writers, film makers and the artists who you have yet to learn our names. An actor parading as a waiter enticed us to try a delicious sampling of fillet Mignon tacos, duck quesadilla and bacon wrapped dates. He was so good in "sells" that we tried both the orange margarita and raspberry white Godiva martinis which set the mood to enjoy the night.
When the sun went down we headed to Cafe Was in Hollywood on Sunset at Vine. No one goes out till it's dark in Los Angeles. Vampires mostly, creatures of the dark. O.k. stars need dark to show up!
We pulled up to the joint and entered as the paparazzi were waiting outside like buzzards circling for their crumbs. They flashed their bulbs as we starlets went into Was. The placed was packed with Hollywood hipsters. (411= people dressed in a casual creative way to sport good will mixed with designer wear) Everyone was enjoying the jazz tunes of none other than Mr. Jurassic Park himself, Jeff Goldblum. Jeff (were friends like that) played the piano as a group of really sheik 20's flappers crossed with Melrose/punk danced with each other and wrapped each other up in a pearl necklace. It was long, really long.

Jeff knew how to play up to the crowd. He has star power and is very handsome in a Buddy Holidayish vibe. He wears the rims well. rims=spectacles, glasses, eye wear. My friend Cristianne Miranda got to do a solo song with JBlum. She seemed to raise the roof as she belted out a jazz tune. Other girls popped up to sing along as Jeff and his band Mildred Snitzer played music. But when Kevin Spacey popped up to sing it was like a shooting star bursting on stage. Kevin was a very pleasant surprise to the crowd. KSpace was quite good and I'm sure he has a album coming out. I'm that confident in his skills.

I was enjoying dreamy KSpace as a director/writer guy who said he had to get his script to Spacey said hello to me. 411 You'll always meet a guy who knows the Spacey's and has a movie deal at a studio. It's part of your alluring charm as a actor to attract the real "producers" in LA. He the "producer" wants me to read for him but first I should have dinner with him. Huh? Dinner before acting? Never, I'm full from happy hour. Call my agent and book me. I'm friends with Tarrentino, you know. (The old throw out a big name. Everyone does it.) Friend=someone you know their name in LA. I do know him from watching his movies. Duh? And, I met him while serving up a baked chicken. So I can use the word "friend" technically now. Well, I'll have to tell you about that adventure next time.

I got a acting class on Saturday with a big casting director. So see you at the movies. who knows I just might pop as a break out star by then.

lol
