Plot: "You don't walk into an audition as an actor playing a part; you walk in as the character living the story." Christopher Adam Leroux is a former professional Major League Baseball pitcher and a radio and TV broadcaster from Canada. He played for the Florida Marlins, the Pittsburgh Pirates, The New York Yankees in MLB, and the Tokyo Yakult Swallows in Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB). Today's show presents slightly different dynamics inspired by a text Chris sent last week. The text reads: "(...) you should do a podcast with an actor or an actress starting out. Where they basically asked you all the questions they want to know on how to start out and become successful in the business." In this show, we go through the process of becoming an actor and what it takes physically, psychologically, and mentally. How to be prepared for an audition, how to choose your wardrobe, and how to secure the part. We also discuss self-taping, why it is crucial, how to do it properly, and how much money is needed to create a piece that'll grab casting directors' attention. Plus, we talk about approaching agents and picking the right one for you, how to take a professional headshot, and so much more.
