(Equity Principal Audition, or a union-run open call for union members in the US).Legal and professional differences between non-union and union acting work.Self-submission services like Actors Access or Backstage in the US or Spotlight in the UK.The difficulty of accessing for auditions for non-union actors in the US and for actors without agents in the UK.The "illusion of openness" in the US industry vs. the closed nature of the UK industry.Being overwhelmed by the number of people auditioning for a given role in New York vs. in London.The huge differences between the typical audition in the UK and the US.What's actually going on in our minds when we're auditioning actors and how different it is from what we assumed when auditioning for others.An important campaign to get Monty on next season of Living With Yourself using hashtags #CastMontyInLivingWithYourself and #LivingWithMontyselfThis week, we introduce a new segment at the end where Daniel and Monty each share a recommendation from the past week for something to watch, read, or listen to.
