🎙️007 | Todd & Jay: Auditions, Anecdotes & Pro Tips (Part 02)
Self-tapes, useful anecdotes, and hard-earned pro tips abound in this episode of Offstage Acting as Todd Kramer and Jay Reum continue the conversation started in Part 01.
In this Part 02 bonusode, the boys go deeper into the realities of auditioning in the modern industry — expanding on self-tapes, preparation, mindset, and the small but crucial details that can make (or break) an audition.
Drawing directly from their own experience as working actors, Todd and Jay share practical advice, cautionary tales, and real-world observations that don't usually make it into workshops or casting blogs. It's candid, actor-to-actor conversation — the kind you only get once you've been around the block a few times.
If Part 01 opened the door, this episode walks you further inside. Definitely not one to miss.
