August Early Access Video: The Callback Process

Added 2023-08-31 18:51:56 +0000 UTC

Hello friends! Here is the August Early Access video! This video is about the callback process in EPIC auditions!

This video was made with the permission of the amazing Ayron Alexander! :)

This video covers the essentials of the callback process, but it can get even more in depth! At it's best, there are many conversations between myself and the actor, and those conversations help us find aspects of the character that help make their portrayal feel more real!

I hope that this video is also an empowering reminder that auditioning for literally any of the roles in EPIC (even the closed ones) helps your chances of being cast! Steven (Polites) originally wanted to audition for Hermes! Luke (Zeus) wanted to audition for Poseidon! Talya (Circe) originally auditioned for Penelope and Zeus! And Anna (Penelope) originally auditioned for Calypso and Ares! The reason why this helps is because even if you're not the right fit for a specific character, I might see semblances of another character in your performance! I'm always on the lookout!

Once the actor and I get to the demo stage, the conversations keep on happening and we keep on developing the sound and performance until we have what eventually becomes the thing we show y'all! :D

Thanks so much to Ayron for letting me use your audition videos as an example!

Ayron is so incredibly kind and talented and smart and SO fun to work with!
