  • Auditioning For The Role Of ‘Completely Average Woman’

    This isn’t a ‘how to’ podcast… or is it? 
    This week Megan and Jordan delve into the audition process. From casting to self tapes and the elusive in-person recall, we get real about the highs and lows of auditioning - including but not limited to:
    Kicking over tripods, sticking lines onto walls and sending a casting director pictures of your pubes.
    Diversions include Megan’s greasy hair, getting ID’d buying a pipeline punch monster and intense dependency on fantasy escapism.

    It’s time to be candid about credits! From short films to long films and the crippling reality of being on a film set one day and behind a till the next. 
    Side notes include having tattoos, the Monday Morning Debrief and more jokes about Megan’s dad.

  • We're Acting Up!

    Meet your hosts, Megan & Jordan, two broke 23 year olds trying to be actors and learning to be podcasters in real time.
    We get into where we come from, how we met and why are we doing anything of this. Discussions include imaginary games, Megan not liking Jordan, a two person book club and a mandatory draft for hospitality work. Just a cute and cosy chat between friends. 
    Welcome to Acting Up!
