WINDOW CHATS with ROBYN Robyn Deverett

Loved chatting with Dianne Aguilar @dianneaguilar - Fabulous artist and incredible human ❤️

We chat about living in the moment, setting boundaries and self-love, finding your tribe and creating opportunities for yourself, the importance of giving back and so much more! I feel very fulfilled right now!! 

Sameer Jafar is a stubborn filmmaker based in Toronto. In his first year of working on set, he made an impressive rise from volunteer production assistant to paid producer. He went on to write and direct several short films that explore universal themes of self-identity and he plans to direct one of his feature screenplays by next year. Sameer continues to grow as an artist, taking different kinds of acting classes which has recently led to him secure talent representation. He also hosts street interviews where he gets to know strangers in Toronto. With Sameer’s unique background and dedication to his craft, he’s set to make a lasting impression as a storyteller.

And we finally address the actors! From auditioning, to the business of acting, we try to cover it all ❤️

Millie shares advice on actors understanding the business of acting, and shares tips on how to audition - at home and in the room.

We talk about the dreaded “slate” (i.e. saying your name) - slating at the end is their preference.

Rachel touches on some great points with the actor-agent relationship. And Millie shares an example of an agent messing up an opportunity for their actor.

I hope actors find this episode as helpful as I did!

How do you cast a video game? And what’s it like to audition for a video game? And who has the final say in who books the gig?

Watch Part 2, and find out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dlUDsxAz84

Millie shares her experience with casting a video-game for Ubisoft. And Millie reflects on a past project that she didn’t get the opportunity to cast.

Rachel notes the Casting Directors are artists, and she is Millie’s #1 cheerleader (I’ve been demoted to #2). And believe it or not, we still haven’t really spoken about actors!

Millie and Rachel reflect on their recent non-union casting experience. And Millie explains that casting doesn’t have the final say in who books the role…it’s usually people that are higher up!

Actors - CDs are impressed by you! If you did a good audition, but it’s just not your role, you’re going to be added to their database for another project. So hang in there!!
