Casting Directors Are SICK of Self-Tapes
About this episode
Jesse Malinowski interviews David Gray about the challenges of self-tapes and insights into the acting industry.
Jesse Malinowski sits down with Broadway vet and LA acting coach David Gray (HBO's Game Change opposite Julianne Moore, David Gray Studios), who puts a student on a TV show nearly every month, to break down why casting directors say every self-tape looks the same and why "real and grounded" is only step one. They get into the vertical boom taking over the industry, why only 2% of SAG works at any given time, and the audition wins actors never find out about, only on Get Scene Unscripted from Get Scene Studios.
