Summary
Jesse Malinowski sits down with Broadway vet and LA acting coach David Gray (HBO's Game Change opposite Julianne Moore, David Gray Studios), who puts a student on a TV show nearly every month, to break down why casting directors say every self-tape looks the same and why "real and grounded" is only step one. They get into the vertical boom taking over the industry, why only 2% of SAG works at any given time, and the audition wins actors never find out about, only on Get Scene Unscripted from Get Scene Studios.
