RRCC SUCCESS STORY: WAYNE BREYER -- MY NAME IS WAYNE BREYER, PRODUCTION MANAGER AND RESIDENT STAGE MANAGER FOR CURIOUS THEATRE COMPANY. As production manager, I am responsible for overseeing the production teams that create our shows. I hire the teams, facilitate their needs, ensure everyone meets their deadlines and stays within budget, and oversee the venue. The job entails a range of things and is rarely predictable. A day might include anything from changing a light bulb to participating in an artsy conceptual meeting to major conflict resolution. As a Stage Manager, my responsibility is to facilitate the rehearsal and performance process for a show–it is part technician, performer, supporter, and leader. During the rehearsal process, I learn from the director and designers about how they want the show to function and support the performers while they rehearse. Once the show is open, my job is to make sure it happens the way the director and designers intended. We are also a union house, so I liaise with our union partners to ensure we adhere to their regulations. What was your major/pathway at RRCC? I studied Theatre with an emphasis in Technical Theatre. Did school prepare you for this, or were there any classes that help you be successful at this job? Yes, all of the theatre classes I took were informative for me. The technical theatre and design classes were my favorites, and I use the skills I learned daily. Theatre is an art that is learned by doing, so the ability to work in the shops and stage manage productions here was paramount to my success in my career. Any other fun things you want to include about yourself and your career! It is possible to make a living by working in the arts! rrcc.edu/career-services #RRCCedu #RRCCfoxes #RRCCsuccessStory

BRITISH VOICEOVER | A video with a great voiceover drives people to your website or business. Stand out from the crowd with an expert British voice over.
Things I have never heard a casting director say... 1. I am so glad the voice is so disconnected from the copy. 2. It's great that the voice actor doesn't sound like they have a point of view. 3. I don't want the audition to grab my attention. 4. It's nice that I don't believe what the VO is saying. IT'S NOT ABOUT HOW GOOD YOUR VOICE SOUNDS!!!!!! It's about how you use that voice to convey the words in a way that is: 1. Connected to the copy 2. Comes with a POV 3. Is uniquely you 4. Is trustworthy and believable The rest is up to the casting director and whether your voice suits the brief best. It's as simple as that. #voice #voiceover #voiceactor #castingdirector #sounddesign

As a marketing professional, I’ve often reflected on how my background in theater has been a crucial steppingstone in my career. Josh Groban, speaking at the National High School Musical Theatre Awards, summed it up perfectly: "Hire a former theater kid. I don't care what your business is. It will go better if you hire a theater kid. If you need somebody to work on a deadline, hire a theater kid. If you need somebody who can take over a job in a pinch and act like they have been doing it the whole time and do it on almost zero budget? You hire a theater kid." Here’s why: 1. Adaptability Under Pressure: Theater kids thrive in high-pressure situations. Need someone to meet a tight deadline? Look no further than a theater enthusiast who’s used to last-minute rehearsals and performance nights. 2. Resourcefulness on a Shoestring Budget: Theater productions often operate with minimal resources. A theater kid knows how to create magic with limited funds. Hire one, and they’ll stretch your budget creatively. 3. Problem-Solving and Critical Thinking: Theater teaches us to think on our feet. Whether it’s improvising during a scene or finding solutions backstage, theater kids excel at problem-solving. 4. Collaboration and Teamwork: Theater is a collaborative art form. Theater kids understand the power of teamwork, supporting each other to create something greater than the sum of its parts. 5. Time Management and Discipline: Balancing rehearsals, school, and performances requires discipline and time management. These skills translate seamlessly into the professional world. 6. Resilience and Adaptability: Theater isn’t always smooth sailing. From forgotten lines to technical glitches, theater kids learn resilience and adaptability—essential traits in any workplace. In my professional journey, these theater-honed skills have been instrumental. So, if you’re looking for a dynamic team player who can handle pressure, think creatively, and adapt swiftly, consider hiring a theater kid. Or better yet, introduce your kid to the magic of theater and watch them grow. 🌟 #theaterkid #marketingprofessional #growth #development

Researching what #castingdirectors really want from a voice actor. Not only in an audition, but what makes a voice actor preferred over others? What I found was that it's mostly basics. 1. Follow directions (If you're asked for a slate or specific number of takes, do that.) 2. Have good audio (Record in an appropriate space, and audition how you will deliver.) 3. Properly name your files (Don't put an underscore when asked for a space, etc.) 4. Deliver on spec ( One casting director estimated 90% of shortlists followed casting specs.) 5. Get training! (Invest the time and capital to understand your craft.) I'M NOT A CASTING DIRECTOR!!! So if you are one and would like to weigh in, please do so. But most skills in life are really just about mastering the basics. Don't skip them to focus on the cool stuff.

As an expert for Voices they asked me what to look for when hiring a voice actor! Here are my top 5 things to find that perfect voice: ⬇️ 1️⃣ Does the voice match your brand or story? -The voice you choose will represent your brand. 2️⃣ Is their studio quality good enough? -It matters that they know how to run their equipment. 3️⃣ Can they do a directed session if needed? -Sometimes you want to be able to direct your talent. 4️⃣ What is their revision policy? -There charges involved if a mistake has been made. 5️⃣ How do you feel when you listen to the voice actor? -That is how your listeners will feel!

I never dreamt of being a voice actor. I find that quite healthy to be honest about that. There are many amazing things that voice acting gives me. Way beyond what I could have 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 expected. But who I 𝗔𝗠 and what I 𝗢𝗙𝗙𝗘𝗥 as a voice actor - is shaped by the reality that I never dreamt of being one. This is good to know in terms of my 'unique selling point'. Because addressing client pain points is important, but should be second nature to a pro. All good voice actors: ✅ Should be great actors. ✅ Should be very responsive. ✅ Should offer great audio quality. What I offer beyond that is my experience and how it's shaped me: 📌 Training at the Moscow Arts Theatre for a few weeks and seeing what REAL professional rigour looks like. 📌 Running a theatre company for three years that was critically acclaimed but financially precarious. 📌 Witnessing first hand that talent was not enough to guarantee anything. What you hire when you hire me as a voice actor is a point of view. It's what I use as fuel when speaking other people's words. All of the above will bleed through in some way. And that's what my real offer is. What did you dream of being growing up? #voiceactor #mediaproduction #journey #usp ---------------------- 🎙 Need an assured, relatable voiceover? 🎙 Connect, DM me or check out my website link. 🎙 Schedule a chat about VO: https://lnkd.in/edi8UpkY 🔹 Check out my newsletter 'Lend Me Your Ears', covering acting/voice/media every week: https://lnkd.in/eV3eu_V5 🔹

The lead in your next film. Actress, VO, Model, Teen Chef, Advocate, Cowgirl-Master of many skills. Represented by District Model and Talent
Interesting and helpful read for #actor friends.
Getting a callback means that the casting team is intrigued by you and your acting, but they may not be totally sold yet. On top of watching you perform, they might also question you about your acting approach and experience. This is the time to showcase your range, ability to portray your character, and overall skill set. Expect to perform the same material in the same way as in your first audition—but know that you might be asked to make a few changes, such as reading a scene with different emotion or really diving deep into your character’s personality. Callbacks often mean performing a scene with another actor so the director can see if you mesh well with others. The casting director brought you back because your type and performance worked for the character and for the tone of the show. Unless you are given specific notes for the callback, do the exact same performance when you come back in but be open to adjustments. Don’t get locked into your choices. In a callback, the director, producer, and creative team may have you take an adjustment and try the scene a different way. Spontaneous decisions are your best friend so practice various versions of the audition just to be prepared. #actor #audition #callback

To slate or not to slate? Indeed, my friends, that is the question 🤔 First, what's a "slate"?? Slating is a short introduction spoken at the beginning of an audition or a demo. Sometimes as short as two words: your first and last name. You might also say the name of the character or role you’re auditioning for. This practice is standard in the film world for on-camera auditions - but in the modern voice-over world, it’s not necessarily a given. If you’re anxious about knowing whether or not to slate, don’t stress. The first rule of auditioning is always to read the instructions. When making a decision on whether or not to slate, begin with the information you’re given: ✨ If the instructions state explicitly to slate or not slate, then hooray, you have your answer. ✨ You may find that the audition portal itself has a policy on slating. (Voices.com, for example, makes it clear that actors should not slate when auditioning on their platform.) ✨ If a client reaches out directly to you for an audition or sample read, you don’t need to slate. You’re already on their radar. When in doubt, if you’re unsure, feel free to ask. . . . . #VoiceOver #voiceoverartist #voiceovertalent #voiceoveractor #voiceoverlife #voiceoverwork #voiceovertips #voiceoverartists #voiceoveracting #voiceovercommunity #voicetalent #volife #useyourvoice #creativebusinessowner #creativeentrepreneur #freelanceartist #voiceovercoach #amplifyyourvoice #creativebusinesscoach #voiceartist #voiceartistry
