Who's Casting What in Soap World

A friend of mine recently signed up for a Soap Workshop, hoping that he will have the chance to land an Under 5 or a Principal role. After he told me about the workshop... I told him that the person who is teaching at the workshop only cast Background roles for the show.

Things are really kicking in - I've got four auditions line up for this week.

I attended the screening of "Cornstarch Gizmo" the other day. Directed by Astro Saladino (this guy is awesome).

Very Dark, and very Funny in a distrubing way. I love it!!

My reply was:

"When you're in this business, you need to know. If not, your agent will tell you."

I'm referring to me knowing so much about makeups and skincare products.

2) 20 m...Read more
