In Episode 236, Trev and AJ unpack some of the listener response to the most recent episode, and then AJ sits down with returning IAP guest Rebecca Metz to discuss the risks and benefits of pay-to-play casting director workshops, their ethical and legal ramifications, what it means to be “pro-choice” in this business, and how us actors are just as responsible for our part in this issue as anyone else… all the *other* ways we're asked to spend money on our careers notwithstanding (yeah, whaddup with that?). Total running time: 1:04:25.

Episode 234: Billy DaMota – Update (Part 3)

In Episode 234, Trev and AJ put out the call for a technical director / editor – the podcast’s first (and currently only) paid position. Think you or someone you know might be a good fit? Contact us!

AJ also shares the hurried joy of sinking his teeth into a series regular audition, as well as his thoughts, by way of a listener question, on paid casting director workshops in NYC versus LA.

Then the guys sit down for the third and final part of their chat with casting director and outspoken pay-t0-play workshop critic Billy DaMota to talk about:

* what may or may not be required to build genuine relationships

* why it’s important to keep others in mind when voting for acting services (presumably with your dollars) when making choices for your career

* how Billy might remake the whole casting director workshop system if he could

* how the ideal actor he’d like to meet every day runs their business

Also: body odor, cults (of love), and outtakes!

Total running time: 1:01:40.

Episode 233: Billy DaMota – Update (Part 2)

In Episode 233, Trev and AJ address what *may* have been a bit of misleading marketing with regards to this interview series, and Trev chats a a bit about finding the overlap between self and expectations (a.k.a. “type”). Then they join casting director – and outspoken pay-to-play casting director workshop critic – Billy DaMota for Part 2 of their updated chat, to talk about the history of workshop guidelines, and how their enforcement and lack thereof has lead to the current context and climate. Total running time: 44:03.
