Dueling cameras with @ChadTWood & @JuliaMcIlvaine before we started shooting a short last week. We had a lot of fun shooting this one!
I’ll give you a heads up when you can see the finished product.
Are you in audition shape for pilot season?
“Isn’t it interesting how after I complete John and Joe’s on camera audition class, the first audition I have a week later I book a SAG feature.” - Kenny Lombino
Ever wonder what your auditions look like?
“John and Joe integrate the camera into every aspect of the class until you forget that it’s there, and in a very short period of time the camera becomes your friend, one more resource at your disposal. Even watching the footage afterwards got to be fun because I could watch my work improving thanks to their advice.” - Julia McIlvaine
The On-Camera Workout!
Just like working out keeps your body in shape, the On-Camera Workout keeps your auditioning muscles in shape.
Each week you will be sent sides from current projects in television and feature film, in both comedy and drama, chosen specifically for you. Every actor at the workout works on a different role.
Prep that material for your on camera workout!
We shoot your first take, work with you on the material for a second take (sometimes more) and then email you video of all of your auditions the next day for review.
SEE what you’re doing on camera every week and get in audition shape at The On-Camera Workout - a 4 week intensive that will put you through the audition process!

I make an Indie TV series called “Vampire Mob.”
Why don’t I call Vampire Mob a “webseries”?
It’s not because I’m ashamed of being on the web, which is one rebuttal I received - that’s just fucking stupid.
It’s not because I really want to work in network TV and I’m using the show to somehow “break into the industry.” I don’t and I’m not. If I wanted to work in TV, I wouldn’t waste a millisecond working on anything but that goal.
Here’s the very simple reason.
Deb Mozer watching Vampire Mob in Los Angeles directly from YouTube on her television using an XBox.
It’s easy to explain.
Indie TV is television made independent of a network distributed worldwide via the Internet.
“What channel is it on, Joe?” (which you have to say aloud with a whiny voice)
What channel is Netflix on, asshole?
Charlotte Widdows watches Vampire Mob in the United Kingdom on her television directly from YouTube using a Playstation3.
Netflix and Hulu will be making their own series and guess which channel you will watch it on - the Internet.
“If you call yourself Indie TV you are competing with network television.”
Dude, when it comes to the real estate of people’s time, video games, tv shows, movies, ebooks, twitter, kitten videos and porn are all competing for people’s time. There’s a content tsunami headed to the Internet and there’s already too much to watch as it is.
SAG New Media signed over 1,800 signatories last year. That’s 1,800 shows, plus all the shows that are made under AFTRA’s new media contract, plus all the shows made with no union at all.
Welcome to the terrordome.
I shot 125 pages with 22 actors over two seasons without a network.
Many of those actors are award winners and folks from shows like “The Simpsons,” “The Sopranos,” “Criminal Minds,” “Boardwalk Empire” and “Parks and Recreation.”
You can watch “Vampire Mob” on TELEVISION directly from YouTube using an Xbox, a PS3, a Tivo and Blue-Ray players made by Sony and others.
That’s why I call “Vampire Mob” Indie TV, because it is.
Dona Strohbehn streaming Vampire Mob through an XBox and watching it on a 120-inch projection screen.
@Heathvinyard introducing the @replacedseries screening !
Walking on Mulholland today I ran across a writer at work. Guessing that’s a screenplay, it is Los Angeles.
I’m at LA Talk Radio for @SheenaMetal’s show! There’s candy.
