THANK YOU FOR 500 + Reviews! Here to help you with all your remote actor needs. This is your time to do what you do best! I respect your process above all else, so I'll give feedback only if you ask.
Previous actors I read with have booked or gained representation with self tapes I've read with them, which is fantastic!
* Feel free to message here or email j.mykulbowen@gmail.com to pre-book a session. *
HELPFUL TIP OF THE WEEK: A great director said we should always look for the 'flesh and bones' needs of the character. When did they last eat, showered, used the bathroom, is it a birthday/special event etc. Why? Because "hungry and tired" me has a way different level of patience and grace - and dealing with the scene is going to come out differently! It builds the world and your belief in what's happening for this person NOW, and gives you breadcrumbs to play with (if they serve you in the moment!) that you can lean into or away from for different takes.
Hope to read with you! And now, a joke to break the ice - "What’s a skeleton’s least favorite room in the house?
The living room."
