In Actor and Agent podcast, we talk about the industry from both sides as well as being in two different countries. We discuss stories, talk to guests and give tips from our experience.
This week Jen (No Snejina this episode as she's sunning herself - lucky duck!) interviews the lovely Peter Hearn. He's been part of the industry a while, started training as an actor and after trying (what seems like all the hats) his hand at many facets of the industry he's creating his biggest adventure yet.
We talk puppets, sourcing the talent, how his writing process evolves, the wonderful people he works with and the community he creates on every project.

This week we had the pleasure of talking to a multi-talented actress, who is a series regular on When Calls The Heart, Natasha Burnett! We spoke last year (only just getting around to releasing these episodes) during a heatwave in Vancouver and talking through Natasha's experiences.
Born in Surrey, UK, Natasha is a British actress and singer.
She began her career performing in The Magic of Motown Show as Diana Ross (DIANA ROSS!?!) and played the role for four years before moving to Sydney, Australia where she turned her attention to film and TV. She spent the summer training at NIDA. After a year in Australia, Natasha made the move to Vancouver, Canada.
A few of her credits include:
- The Good Doctor
- iZombie
- Supergirl
- Olympus
As well as many, many more. We ask her how she got started, talk The Stage newspaper, the worst job she's had, and being a Brit in Canada.

Is voiceover only about doing lots of different accents, impressions and voices? Also, voice-over is easy, right?
We talk about how huge the industry is, the importance of training, and how important your natural voice is. The things you need to have in place to try and get into the industry and get booked.
How casting is now changing within the voice world which is outside of the scope of how your voice sounds.
The difference between the industry in Canada and the UK within the voice world.

This week we are joined by an insanely talented actor and voice artist... Trevor Devall! He talks about his beginnings, working on many great shows, his YouTube show Me, Myself and Die, advice he would give to newcomers. He's someone Jen looks up to a lot, not just as a friend, talented actor or even his success... but more who he is as a person. This is a fun and interesting listen from the get go!

Snejina and Jen check in with each other and talk in more depth about the process of being submitted to getting an audition... and the realities. This episode is definitely to demystify the process a lot more for actors. Turning down an audition is okay but this will give you an idea of all the work that's gone into it, to get you that opportunity.

Of course Lee has been in Pirates of the Carribean (Ellooooo Poppet!!) but he's also been in a major regular on Once Upon a Time, worked on other great shows like Seinfield, Friends, Charmed, Action, All Star Strek TV shows, Angel and many many many more.

Talking to the one and only Ross Grant about his career, starting ActOnThis.tv, serial killers and invisibility! Both Jen and Snejina are so impressed with Ross' enthusiasm online, motivation and drive to share as much information to actors globally. He's also just lovely and talented so it was a major win to have him on the podcast!

Ross graduated from the Manchester Metropolitan University School Of Theatre in 2005. Since graduation, he's obtained credits in multiple BAFTA-winning TV series, including the critically acclaimed 'Don't Take My Baby', where he played the role of Mike.

An episode where it's just Snejina and Jen talking over improving auditions, self tapes, funny and crazy audition stories and the challenge of intimacy on set (with one mini story!). Lighthearted chat from both sides - we managed to capture some on video:

We get to chat with American actor Brian Villalobos and do some time travel. After some major technical difficulties at the top of the episode... we talk about Brian's recommended IMDb credit from the reams of work he's done, Snejina's favourite BG casting credit, cultural differences, Tim Horton's... The is even an Accent Off! Brian gives his best UK accent (which news flash... is awesome) and Jen goes with some U.S. accents. Laughs to be had with this one!
Brian's bio:

Talking to Sinead Curry from the TV series Nancy Drew! Taking a deep dive into the magical world of Sinead! Both Sinead & Snejina do this episode from their beds and we have some serious time travel going on. We talk over Sinead's beginnings, Nancy Drew, friendships, voiceover, embarrassing stories, her beautiful jawline and essence ... and more!

This week is just Snejina and Jen again talking the ups and downs of the industry... honestly, how we get some escapism. Escapism can be through TV, Film, a bath or a good old fashioned book about murder. This episode might not sound lighthearted but there's a lot to enjoy about this... including Snejina singing mockingly about women's obsession with murder stories.

First ever guest on Actor & Agent and it's the greatest of all beings... The Joshua Young. He's primarily a screenwriter but to us, we've seen him wear many hats. He been an actor, an acting coach, voice artist, producer, video editor ... and I'm sure I still haven't covered it all. Joshua and Jen used to live together in Vancouver, BC in an Earth worm and centipede infested basement apartment (for their first apartment) and became each others champion.
After listening to this episode you'll understand why we are all friends. In this episode Joshua talks his way in to the industry... where he hopes to keep pushing and how much blood he's donated.... it's A LOT! -
Snejina gets into the nitty gritty of the main pitfalls to avoid when you're represented and how you can stand out of the crowd. Snejina owns two agencies. One for talent (actors, voiceover etc) and the other for the modelling side in Vancouver, Canada.
Extremely informative at giving anyone a clearer idea of the day-to-day trials and tribulations of agenting.
Next week... a guest! - Visa fler
