A Special Showcase Follow Up

We are always impressed at the amount of awesome work our students do each year for The Actor’s Scene Showcase Callbacks. They have each worked hard on their personal showcase piece, plan out their callbacks, and performed them like pros.

This year we wanted to highlight a few such students who really went above and beyond.

Hi Trey! Tell us, what class did you take this past year?

This past year I took foundations with Coach John and I have taken improv for the past few years. I am also in broadcasting club at school and my schools Lead news anchor. I have taken video production for the past 2 years

Wow, you are busy! But all that hard work paid off. What was your highlight for the TAS Showcase?

The highlight of the TAS showcase was getting to write and create your own commercial with Coach John. I felt confident because we spent weeks building it and rehearsing. I was able to make changes to make it flow perfectly. I felt like it prepared me for future commercials.

Trey, you got callbacks from 28 out of the 30 VIP's! That is incredible! How did it feel?

It felt AMAZING getting as many callbacks as I did. I am so grateful for the opportunities. I am so proud of how far Ive come and look forward to my next opportunity.

Do you have an update since Showcase?

I did sign with J Pervis Talent Agency Inc. I cannot wait for them to lead me to reaching my next goals.

Speaking of journeys, what do you have planned?

My next goal is to get a job on a TV series or a film. I also would love to be in a few commercials. I am going to continue learning skills and improving my talent to push myself to reaching my goals.

Finally, tell us what makes you feel confident?

I feel confident because of all of the feedback I received from the TAS showcase. It helped to show me if I put in the work I can achieve my goals.

Hi Javian! Tell us, what class did you take this past year?

I took Working Actor Taped Audition with Coach John

We want to know, what was your highlight for the TAS Showcase?

Getting a callback and offer from Osbrink Talent Agency in California!

That is really cool! How did it feel to receive a Callback from such a prestigious LA Agency?

Very exciting and exhilarating!

Did you have an interview with your LA agent as part of the callback?

Yes, Osbrink requested to meet with me virtually.

How did you prepare for that meeting?

Outside of my parents scheduling the call, I really didn’t prepare because I wanted to give them my natural self. Prior to the meeting my parents and I had discussed that they either want me or they don’t…

Sooo.... What's the update?

I have accepted the offer from Osbrink, and am awaiting for the contract. I am now bicoastal!

Yay! Congratulations. Just last year you signed with your Atlanta agent at the TAS Showcase, and this year you signed with an LA agent! So what is your next goal?

My next goal is to book a recurring role on a TV show, or a more substantial role in a movie.

Tell us what makes you feel confident?

I feel confident because I have been invited to audition for several projects, have received callbacks, and booked several commercials. I have even done some voiceover work.

Finally, what do you do for auditions, interviews, callbacks that gets you in the right headspace so you perform with confidence?

Prior to auditions I like to review the scripts so that I am comfortable with it. Usually my mother and I practice lines to increase my confidence.

Hi Danielle! Tell us, what class did you take this past year?

This year I took coach Kirsten’s class Working Actor: TheTaped Audition via Zoom

You've been through several TAS Showcases. What was your highlight about this one?

Honestly, getting to see everyone in person! It’s so fun and convenient on zoom classes, but I have to say, spending time with everyone in person really gives you that connection.

What did it feel like to receive multiple callbacks?

It’s great to even receive just one, and I’m grateful the VIPs took the time to view my performance and enjoyed it as much as I did making it!

Do you have an update since Showcase?

Yes! I recently booked a huge opportunity that I can’t share quite yet, but it was so amazing and I can’t wait to do it again and be back on set. It’s absolutely my happy place.

Congratulations! That is great news! So what is next for your acting career?

My next goal is to book a lead or maybe a series regular role. Really, whatever comes next is going to be amazing and I’m ready! I want to keep up my outside acting skills too. I recently took up archery and hope to be able to use it on set someday!

Let's talk about confidence. You have had multiple coaches rave about the confidence you bring to every opportunity and your positive attitude. What helped you reach this level of confidence?

After participating in Showcase for the last couple of years, you learn what to generally expect. Give or take the upgrades or minor changes to the process, the team at The Actor’s Scene really makes it so easy to adapt and have fun! Plus, just knowing I’m amongst friends makes it all the more easy to be relaxed.

Finally, what word of advice do you have for new actors whose confidence isn't so high?
