  • 17 - How to Format Your Play

    ABOUT THIS EPISODE:

    I’m sure you’ve heard the age-old saying “you never get a second chance to make a first impression.” Well,

    I’m here to tell you it is 100% TRUE! Whenever you meet someone, no matter who it is, you only get one
    opportunity, one shot, to make a good first impression.

    Now I know what you’re thinking- what does this have to do with formatting my script? Well, the second
    your script lands on someone’s desk, whether it’s a producer, director, a festival, etc., the very first thing
    they’re going to notice is how it’s formatted. Your script is making its first impression and should look the
    part. You wouldn’t go into a job interview wearing sweats (at least I hope you wouldn’t!) so why would you
    send in your script without proper formatting?

    We want to make sure your script gets the attention it deserves. And guess what? Formatting your script is
    easier than you’d think.

    Now, let’s do it!

    ABOUT THIS EPISODE:

    Lindsay Mendez, star of the Broadway revival of Godspell, once said “Getting an agent is hard, and I also think people rush to get an agent too soon.”

  • 13 - Audition Tips For Actors

    ABOUT THIS EPISODE:

    Sitting on the other side of the table is something that every actor should do.  It’s incredibly educational and inspirational because frankly, you realize that while there are lots and lots of people that call themselves actors, there is a much smaller group of Actors (and talent is only a small part of that definition, by the by).

    Since so few Actors get a chance to sit where Producers and Directors sit, here are 10 tips on how to have a better audition experience.

  • 12 - Branding Your Show

    ABOUT THIS EPISODE:

    Branding can seem like such a vague and nebulous concept for many, and it kind of is. Ask any marketer or brand expert and everyone will have a different definition for you. 

    Google says branding is: the promotion of a particular product or company by means of advertising and distinctive design.

    Branding us so much more than that! To me it’s about the feelings you want your prospects and customers to have when they think about you or your show. 

    One of the most important elements of your branding is your color palette, which can often inform your logo design, key art, website, social media look and feel, and more.

    In this episode, we break down how you can start branding your show through a series of questions. Let’s walk through this together...
