- Your Agent Isn't the Problem, the Hipster Headshot Is Dead, 14 Auditions in July
Jesse and Candace Malinowski break down why actors keep blaming their agents and headshots when the real answer is that no role was written for them, why the hipster headshot that everyone had in 2016 is officially dead, and what replaced it. Jesse also explains why the standard advice to repeat your self-tape at the callback falls apart when your tape had lighting cues, sound effects, and food in it, plus how a dead-slow June turned into 14 auditions in July. That Actor Couple gives working actors in Atlanta and the Southeast the real behind-the-scenes of a two-actor marriage, from Get Scene Studios.
