For this episode, I thought I would answer some more of the voicemail questions that I’ve been getting from my listeners.
For those who don’t know, in episode 28 I gave out a phone number where you can call in and leave me a question as a voicemail. From time to time, I’ll pick the most relevant questions I receive and answer them here on the podcast.
For this round of Q & A, I answer two of my listeners, Taylor from Bardstown, KY and Beau from Soham, England.
- Taylor asks me what should she put on her first demo, original characters or pre-established ones that agents are familiar with?
- Beau asks me what do I do when I have to play a character and I don’t understand the story?
I think you’ll find the answers very helpful.
As a reminder, the number where you can call in and ask your question is:
323-696-2655.
Please don’t forget to include your first name and what city in the world you’re calling from. I’m looking forward to hearing from you!
Thanks for listening!

Excellent. Very nice. Thank you for the information. I just started my acting class, and since I’m taking practicum, it looks like I’m gonna be doing some acting outside my class. I hope it works out.
I already have the number saved, I’m just not sure if I have a question right now.
No problem. And you don’t have to have a question. The phone number is just an option for those who do.
Both very excellent questions. Lovely answers as always!
Thank you!
You’re welcome!
I would agree with crispin that the demos should showcase multiple characters and be to the point. People that look for talent listen to alot of voices every day and most likely wont listen to your entire demo. Showing what you can do in small bit sized portions, will help demonstrate your range and give the listener multiple examples before they move on to the next demo.
