Toronto actors, has it been slow for you lately?

I’m wondering if it’s because of the stay at home order, and I’m hoping things will pick up after this week. But have other Toronto actors been getting very few auditions the last little while? I’ve only had 3 auditions since April. I was auditioning quite a...

Had my first audition in over a year-and-a-half since covid started, and I absolutely fucked it.

It was actually a callback, first time in-person auditioning since the world shut down. And it was literally just reactions, *not even any dialogue.* The second I got in the room with the casting directors and the project’s directors, the nerves RUSHED BACK...

Solos is a unique limited series and I highly recommend it for the acting community.

The show basically takes place in the future, ranging from a few years in the future to several decades. Almost every single episode (exception of one) is a one-man-show with Name actors in a singular set. The acting is phenomenal, with interesting stories...
