Did you get to watch BODY OF PROOF this week? It starred  12 year old Actorsiter Davis Desmond in a nice guest role. GOOD JOB DAVIS!

Did you see MY HAUNTED HOUSE over the weekend? It starred 6 year old Actorsiter Jaeden Bettencourt as the ghost! Fantabulous JAEDEN! Plus his MAJOR CRIMES episode aired this weekend too! Nice.

The feature film MARKED booked 7 year old  Actorsiter Bianca Dambrosio in a supporting role. FAB!

PLUS, 7 year old Actorsite twins Bianca and Chiara Dambrosio booked a guest role on the TV Show SEE DAD RUN. EXCELLENT!

6 year old Actorsiter Jayden Maddux booked a guest role on ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT plus a nice supporting role in the feature film OFF SHORE.  ROCK OUT!

Watch for Actorsiter Anjini Azhar in the upcoming feature film STARTREK…SUPER JOB ANJINI!

And listen for the voice of Aaron Berger in the upcoming animated feature film TURBO to be released this Summer. FANTASTIC!

PILOT WATCH: Announcements coming this month on pilot pickups!

According to DEADLINE.COM, Actorsiter Mandalyn Carlson is starring as 13 year old Brenda Miller in the NBC/SONY Pilot BRENDA FOREVER. We hope we hear good news about this show this month. Mandalyn is also shooting another project, starring as Dean Cain’s daughter in HOLIDAY MIRACLE, currently filming. SUPER, MANDALYN!

According to DEADLINE.COM, Actorsiter Paris Berelc is starring as superhero Skyler Storm in the new DISNEY XD TV series MIGHTY MED. She’s starring alongside another Actorsite, Jake Short, who is continuing to star on A. N. T. FARM as he gears up for the new show! WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU BOTH THIS FALL! This project looks fun!

Actorsiter EVE MOON, booked a nice role opposite Will Arnett in the UNTITLED GREG GARCIA PROJECT for CBS. Let’s hope they give it a name and pick it up! SUPER JOB, EVE!

We have hundreds of updates to come, so keep reading…excellent!

I love it when I see so many familiar faces in commercials on TV! I just BEAM WITH PRIDE knowing that those young artists were trained at the Actorsite. So I KNOW that our program works. Acting Coach Taryn Schubert puts her “magic touch” onto each young actor.

So many young Actorsiters are booking commercials right now. And parents keep telling me they credit the constant IMPROV training at Actorsite, and particularly the training with ActingCoach Taryn Schubert. Every one of her classes include IMPROVISATION and we also have the full IMPROV WORKOUT every SUNDAY EVENING!

TIP 1: Practice Improv with Acting Coach Taryn Schubert. (Actorsite kids are taking over the commercials, is Coach Taryn the “secret weapon” for booking? —I think so!)

Congratulations to VAN SANTANDER booking the BANK OF AMERICA COMMERCIAL campaign, and Congratulations to DYLAN SHEPHERD, booking the VERIZON campaign, and watch forJAEDEN BETTENCOURT in the ABOUT YELLOW STORE campaign.

TIP 2: Walk into the room like you own it and TAKE OVER THE ROOM! (Coach Taryn and ALL of our coaches focus on the acting skills that give each young actor CONFIDENCE and SHARPENED TALENT, so they BOOK MORE!)

And ALEXIS BAUMERT is ROCKING! She’s not only in the ATT campaign, but she also booked a VO for GILROY GARDENS. Those THURSDAY VO workouts with super VO Coach Gianna Burkeare paying off!

And that’s Actorsiter JAMIE MCRAE in the National SPRINT campaign.

Speaking of the ATT campaign, I really enjoy watching MILLY D when I am watching the playoffs on TV. It’s fresh and fun and she credits Taryn’s improv classes with keeping her sharp with IMPROV.

Add in a few more to the ATT campaign, like JAYDEN MADDUX, LAYLA CRAWFORD, ALEXIS BAUMERT, and JAEDEN BETTENCOURT...plus probably a couple more as soon as they tell us…not everyone does!

And YES, that is Actorsiter ADAM CHERNICK in the FACEBOOK HOME Campaign…that’s him with the chocolate on his face!

TIP 3: Have FUN in the Audition room. Young actors who show confidence, flexibility, and the JOY OF PERFORMING, will always book MORE than those who go in with a bad attitude.
Go in, have fun, and then ride home feeling SUPER!—-CALLBACK TIME!

This is a small sample of some recent bookings by young Actorsiters who are constantly training and gaining CONFIDENCE and SKILLS in our ACTORSITE FAST TRACK PRO CLASSES!

If you want YOUR CHILD to succeed, you’ll bring them to ACTORSITE and TRAIN FOR SUCCESS!

Come try a free class today, HERE’S A SCHEDULE OF CLASSES!

Dear Parents and Young Actors,

FEATURE FILM CASTING SEASON IS IN FULL SWING!

We love it when young Actorsiters book FEATURE FILMS.

In fact we BEAMED when Actorsiter Hailee Steinfeld
was nominated for an Academy Award for her role as
MATTIE ROSS in the feature film TRUE GRIT.

And we are equally proud of EVERY YOUNG ACTORSITER who
books a feature film role. No matter how small.

We loved to see Actorsiters Kelsey Chow and Skyler
Gisondo in THE AMAZING SPIDERMAN movie.

Were proud of Actorsiter Amandla Stenberg who starred
as RUE in HUNGER GAMES.

We’re proud of Actorsiters Noah Dahl, Andy Scott Harris,
Christina Danielle, Jordan Van Vranken, Adrian Kali Turner,
Bridget Shergalis,  and all of the other young Actorsiters
who appeared in the hit film BAD TEACHER.

And we are proud that Actorsiter Anjini Azhar is co-starring
in the STARTREK feature film coming out this Summer, directed
by J. J. ABRAMS.

And literally dozens of movies every year will feature young
Actorsiters in supporting and lead roles. We are proud of all of you!

So in the spirit of preparation for the busy feature film
season which runs from NOW until AUGUST, we have a special
event planned for SUNDAY, April 14.

Shout to successful young Actorsiters!

Dear Parents and Young Actors,

One of the joys of my job at the Actorsite, is to
see the proud parents when their child books a role
on film or TV.

Every one of those parents went through the
“Am I doing the right thing?” stage of support.

The “Am I doing everything I can?” stage of
support.

And finally, the “I’m proud.” Stage of support.

All parents go through these stages…so enjoy the
journey. It’s a fun life when you have a talented
child.

At the Actorsite, we provide the tools for your
child to succeed.
http://www.actorsite.com/specials/

We are proud of all young Actorsiters who started
like 11 year old Victoria Justice (VICTORIOUS), or a 11 year
old Jake Short (ANT FARM).

Building a career starts with a solid base…

Here’s are some “shouts” to a few Actorsiters…

Robin Nassif (Agenting your Agent- Episode 1), and now we
have MARIA CHAIDEZ from the NANCY CHAIDEZ agency coming on
MARCH 20…

She’ll cover some similar issues from her perspective (Every
agent has a different perspective). And we’ll be doing both
a SEMINAR for those who attend live, and a WEBINAR for those who
can attend online. This is for the parents of all ages to age
18 and for those young actors who play TEENS but who are over
18 years.

Bring all of your AGENT QUESTIONS to this event…we had SUPER questions
for Robin Nassif and it was enlightening to hear her responses.

Agent Robin Nassif has been a HOLLYWOOD A-LISTER for

Now, she’s discovering a whole new generation of stars

OUR WORKSHOPS INFO:

ROCK YOUR SELF-TAPED PERFORMANCES!

Dear Parents and Young Actors,

Increasingly, this pilot season, we’ve had a ton of
casting directors ask for submitted self-taped scenes via
eco-casting or other services for projects.

Plus, many projects “back home” are asking for
uploaded auditions.

As you probably know, we’ve had SUPER results from our
self-taping upload service, including DOZENS of callbacks,
and several bookings resulting from our video services.

The first impression is important, so your audition
video has to be EXCELLENT with GOOD SOUND and a
CLEAR PICTURE.

Here is the information on our eco-casting uploads.

Send to actorsite.support@gmail.com if you have questions
or wish to schedule.

ACTORSITE-UPLOADS

Cost: $40 for Taping and upload one audition scene. Two takes,
pick the best one to upload. Limit to 30 minutes time.

Coaching available for $40 per 1/2 hour additional.

Some suggestions:

1. Be off book and coached to perfection.

2. Have your ACTORSACCESS.COM info or other upload info
with you.

3. Don’t wear white. Most other colors are fine as we
have good lighting.

4. Arrive ready to rock, it takes about 10 to 15 minutes
to tape a scene (The first take is usually the best, but
sometimes you might want to tweak it once)

5. …arrive ready to work, bring your music if you are going
to dance sing or rap…or do it without music.

6. Need extra time, NO PROBLEM. We bill at $20 per extra 10 minutes
over 30 minutes depending on availability. (If you aren’t
prepared, and need extra time, I definitely recommend getting
a 1/2 hour of coaching on-camera, it’s well worth the extra coin.)

All the best,

Jack Turnbull
