Renie Rivas

*FIVE callbacks + a BOOKING past 3 months! :D Congrats Andrea, Kate, Aja, Amanda and Claude(x2), I'm proud of you!!!* Hey, I’m Renie! Rhymes with Jenny! I’m an on-camera SAG-AFTRA actress, VO performer, comedian, and graduate of the Advanced Improv Program at Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre. On-camera, I’ve been a recurring co-star on General Hospital and showed up in Fresh Off The Boat. Commercials too. I’ve done voice work for Nickelodeon, Dreamworks, Paramount+, Cartoon Network, and more!

Pronouns: She/Her

I love drama and comedy, it’s all good! Patient, creative, and supportive. LGBTQ+ performer in case you need a reader in that community who comes from a place of authenticity.

I audition every week day, primarily for voiceover. We’re all in this grind together! This is fun for me. Here to support specific needs by working the way you prefer, so lemme know. ;)

Tips of any amount are so appreciated! Venmo or CashApp preferred because the PayPal* option through WeAudition takes out some lunch money.
Venmo: @Renie-Rivas (Last four digits: 5866)

*PayPal outside of WeAudition is great though! You can find me on PayPal by searching for renierivas@gmail.com

Free Audition Prep Questions! :D
Who are you and the other characters?
What is your relationship to the other characters?
What is the genre of the project?
What should your acting style be like to match the tone of that genre?
Are there any words, terms, slang, or other aspects of the sides that you need to look up? For example: Acronyms, historical references
Are there stage directions that need to be modified for audition purposes? For example: Fighting or kissing
If anything, how would the character have finished their lines if they are cut off or ended with an ellipsis?
What just happened in the scene before you start, to you and anyone else in the scene? If you don't know, what backstory can you create that makes sense with the available information?
Where are you? Does the place affect you?
Does the time of day or time period affect your performance?
Would having an off-camera prop help you? For example: A glass, cigarette, prop weapon, baby bottle, wedding ring, incense, heavy box
What does your character want?
How does your character try to get it?
Where are the transitions, if any?
What is the relationship to the person
you’re talking to?
How loud should you be speaking?
What is your relationship to, or opinion of, the situation you're talking about?
What is the safe choice? (Not necessarily bad choice!)
Only if it's appropriate- What are other choices you could make that are still true to the character and circumstance?

Should your body be comfortable? Tense? Other?
What is your moment after your last line?
