October 27 Producers Pick Actors, Not Casting. Make Your Self-Tape Easy to Say Yes To
Jesse Malinowski goes across the pond on Get Scene Unscripted with London acting coach Natalia, whose credits include Black Mirror and FBI: International, to unpack what she saw while interning for a top UK casting director and how it pushed her self-tape booking ratio to 1 in 4. She breaks down the one-light self-tape setup any actor can build, why your demo reel should be built from 10-second clips, and the mindset shift that let her book Black Mirror without riding the highs and lows.

October 20 Why Your Agent Isn’t Pitching You (It’s Not Your Talent): Carol Shaginaw Gets Real
Atlanta talent agent Carol Shaginaw returns to Get Scene Unscripted with host Jesse Malinowski to break down the difference between being submitted and being pitched, why she won’t sign actors who still have representation, and the 2 to 3 hour confirmation window her team enforces. Plus the submission report move that got a casting director to admit they had no idea why an actor wasn’t being called in, and what changed next. Essential listening from Get Scene Studios for Atlanta and Southeast actors looking for an agent, or trying to get more out of the one they have.

October 06 Actors Hate AI, But This Loki Actor Says It's the Crew You Always Asked For
Jesse Malinowski reunites with Get Scene Studios co-founder Ilan Muallem, who booked five of six episodes of Marvel's Loki and was nearly cast as Jesus on The Walking Dead, only to find the reality on set looked nothing like the promise. On this Get Scene Unscripted, they get into why your identity can't be acting, how he built a watch brand and a martial arts channel into real income, and why he thinks actors angry about AI are ignoring the crew they always said they needed.

September 29 SAG Can't Do Anything to You
ReelShort casting director and Golden Artists Entertainment manager Dante Rusciolelli joins Jesse Malinowski on Get Scene Unscripted to explain why he believes SAG-AFTRA is setting itself up to fail, from a health insurance threshold most members never hit to residuals that still go missing 15 years into streaming. Plus the truth about going Fi-Core, a $790 commercial contract that changed the Georgia market, and why Dante says actors and writers, not tech, are the real inventors of AI, only from Get Scene Studios.

September 22 The Casting Director Rule I Broke to Book Mayor of Kingstown
Jesse Malinowski went behind the scenes of the Virtual Actors Summit — including a Wi-Fi meltdown mid-livestream — and pulled two lessons that apply directly to your acting career. Casting director Amanda from Bream Doyle Casting (Chad Powers) told the room that actors should be able to run their own business however they want, and Jesse breaks down exactly why he ignored conventional headshot advice to land his first audition from a new casting director and book a recurring guest star on Mayor of Kingstown (Paramount+). Get Scene Unscripted drops new episodes every week alongside That Actor Couple and Talent Agent Talk.

Jesse Malinowski sits down with Aligned Stars agent Barbara Divisek an agent with over 50 years in the industry — to expose the exact reasons actors stall out on a roster and land on drop lists.

September 08 He Almost Confronted a Casting Director — Then This Happened
Jesse Malinowski sits down with Stephen Cofield Jr. — 70+ credits, FBI Most Wanted, Terrifier 3, The Equalizer — to get into the real business of a working actor in New York City, including the mixer where Stephen almost confronted a casting director and what she actually said when he got to the front of the line. On Get Scene Unscripted, Stephen breaks down how he lost a role to Michael B. Jordan, what it's really like to get your scene cut on set, why Broadway is the one credit still missing from his resume, and the mindset shift that separates actors who last from actors who burn out.

September 01 What An Agent Actually Wants From You
Jesse Malinowski sits down with Jillian Skale, head of voiceover and commercial at DDO Talent in Chicago, to break down why most actors are unknowingly getting cut from commercial auditions before a single casting director ever sees them. Get Scene Unscripted pulls back the curtain on multi-market booking strategy, what SAG status really costs you in the commercial world, and the one thing your voiceover agent is watching that has nothing to do with your voice.

Jesse Malinowski sits down with Annette Stilwell, founder of Stillwell Casting, who has been casting commercials and film in the Southeast since 1980 — and she does not hold back on what actors are getting wrong.
