When the pandemic happened, as we all know, our lives were uprooted. In the acting world, no one could go to set, no one could rehearse in person, and most of all, no one could audition in person. The whole world went virtual, which meant actors were rehearsing scenes with their mom, boyfriend, dad, whoever they could get. That's when Darren Darnborough (CEO of WeAudition, Actor, Jamojaya, Sundance 2023 & Filmmaker) founded an idea that would make actors lives infinitely better. Originally hailing from England, Darren tells us about his journey to LA, how he knew he wanted to pursue acting, and what it's like to balance acting and being a CEO. Don't miss this game changing episode!
