| 24 Sep 2024 | 035: JONATHAN BROKE - Actor & Coaching Pyschologist • Offstage Acting Podcast with Todd | 01:36:26 | |
We’ve got a real treat for you! A man who’s the Swiss Army knife of talent, Jonathan Broke. Jonathan is a quick-witted improvisational actor who can turn any seemingly dull suggestion into an on-the-spot comedy sketch! But Jonathan isn't all fun and games. He's also a legit "coaching psychologist."
That's a professional who uses psychological theories and training to help people and groups improve their performance and well-being. So, Jonathan is a master of the mind, both on and offstage. He’s like if Zigmund Freud and John Cleese had a love child and that child could impersonate both of his parents.
In this episode Todd Kramer and Jay Reum explore the many layers of this one-of-a-kind performer—what drives him, how he taps into that creative well, (he's not-so-secret poshness) and maybe, just maybe, get some tips on how to survive those high-pressure moments in life.

| 16 Jul 2024 | 026: BONUSODE - "CASTING PROFILES" • The Offstage Acting Podcast with Todd Kramer | 00:55:03 | |
Actors are a rare breed of animal. Most people hate to work and have too much of it. We love to work! But. we can have a hard time finding that work. Online casting platforms are an actor's calling card, their storefront, where they market and sell their only product…. themselves. Today Jay Reum and Todd Kramer go over their own online profiles together. We talk about what to include, what to exclude, uploading video and audio-clips and showreels, choosing the right photos, updating all your credits and keeping your profile fresh. All of which play a part in staying attractive, getting the attention of casting directors and increasing the opportunities you need to ultimately get you paid acting jobs. So, if it’s time to put your own profile online or you’re just looking to tune-up your current profile… have a listen. ※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※ 🙇♂️Actors are nothing without an audience.

Being a parent is a challenge for anyone of course but when you are an actor who needs to flexible, available and are essentially working freelance without a steady source of income… how do you get it done? We have spoken to a lot of parent actors on our program here but this episode Todd Kramer talks to Cassie Raine, co-founder and CEO of Parents (and Carers) in Performing Arts (or PIPA for short). PiPA is a charitable organization that works tirelessly to bring forth mandates, proposals, clarity and dialogue to the entertainment industry so that working actors, who are also parents can continue to work and raise their families within a caring and supportive industry that understands the job they do. So, here’s to all the parents (and parent actors) out there for everything you do to raise your children right. Because there’s nothing more heroic than that. ※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※ 🔗FROM THE EPISODE⬇️ ※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※ 🙇♂️Actors are nothing without an audience. So, THANK YOU FOR LISTENING! 👍✍️PLEASE...

For actors… PRIVACY is pretty much the first thing that you have to hand over in trade for success. The more successful you become, the less privacy you will get. How should an actor use the online tools available to them? Some take full advantage… others scorn and denounce… many are oblivious and even lazy about it. Is there a strategy? In this continuation from Episode 26, Jay Reum and Todd Kramer discuss and share with you exactly what we do, don’t do and should do as working actors to shine the spotlight on ourselves, stay relevant and raise our profiles.

Have you ever known a frightfully talented family? The kind who seem blessed with charm, creativity, and success? Don't you just hate them!?
Today, Todd Kramer and Jay Reum chat with 14-year-old Lois Miles. Lois, the daughter of an old friend John Miles and past podcast guest, actor Aimee Miles, has herself been acting for a decade, with roles in commercials, voice work, and a lineup of school and community theater. Currently, she’s playing a teenage vampire in A Sign You Were Alive at Murphy's Creek Theatre in Northern California. We dive into her experiences growing up around actors, her ambitions, and what she finds most fun about being a young actor.
John, Lois’s father, is an actor and a concert promoter known as the unofficial “Godfather of Silent Disco”—he essentially invented it! We reminisce about our days working together and discuss how John’s theater background paved the way for his entrepreneurial success.
So, lock your doors and turn down the lights… it’s the spooktacular Halloween episode of Offstage Acting!

Amanda Perryment studied acting and entertainment in her youth at stage school. She was professional child actor who went on to do a ton of theatre… all kinds of tele, and easily 100 commercials as an adult. And this all during an era when women didn’t have all of the rights and protections they have now. So, it wasn’t easy. For nearly 15 years she has been representing actors, but her experience as an actor is what elevates her and makes her a better and more understanding agent. And, not just any agent, but Todd Kramer's agent! ※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※ 🙇♂️Actors are nothing without an audience. 👍✍️PLEASE...

This week Todd Kramer and Jay Reum spend some quality time with Amber Martin a powerhouse singer, performer, comedian and all-around show-stopper known for her bold voice and magnetic stage presence.

| 02 Oct 2024 | 036: BONUSODE - "HEADSHOTS" • Offstage Acting Podcast with Todd Kramer | 01:18:03 | |
Actors need photographs of their heads in order to sell themselves to those who are handing out the jobs. This is the most powerful, the most immediate means by which an actor can get themselves seen by the people who matter most… THE CASTING DIRECTOR.
Known in the industry as "headshots", these photographic portraits are how an actor is able to initially kick in the doors and start garnering interest from THE CASTING DIRECTOR.
But what makes for the perfect shot? Is it in the hair? They eyes? The smile? Picking the right cardigan…? Well, it's all of that and more. In this episode Todd Kramer picks over Jay Reum's newest batch of headshots to discuss and discover what makes for a winning look, the kind that grabs attention and lands that ever coveted AUDITION. It's part art, it's part science it's all Offstage Acting…

| 09 Jul 2024 | 025: AIMEE MILES - Actor & VO Artist • The Offstage Acting Podcast with Todd Kramer | 01:25:09 | |
Aimee Miles has been 100% dedicated to her acting career since childhood. She’s a native to Northern California, a graduate of the prestigious Wesleyan University in Connecticut, a bilingual Spanish speaker who did her thesis on Latin American Theatre under military dictatorships... no kidding! Now Aimee lives in the California's Gold Country with her family, has a home studio and she is still working out of a base in San Francisco. Aimee is the true example of someone who never sacrificed their dreams and followed their passion. She’s got a metric ton of great advice for other actors out there coming up in the game too. So pay attention! Todd Kramer and Jay Reum have a delightful and insightful chat with Aimee, and Jay was even almost moved to tears from the inspiration of it all. ※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※ Aimee would like to add the following corrections from her interview: Her LA acting teacher mentioned was Tom Todoroff not "Todd" Todoroff. https://www.tomtodoroff.com. Her mentor Diane Venora, who was also her acting teacher, starred as Hamlet, not Macbeth, in NY Shakespeare Fest, not Broadway, and also starred as Hamlet’s mother Gertrude with Ethan Hawke as Hamlet in the 2000 film. https://m.imdb.com/name/nm0893204 ※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※ ※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※ 🔗FROM THE EPISODE⬇️ ※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※ 🙇♂️Actors are nothing without an audience.
