You know what, I don't think this is for me. I don't LOVE it. And today Jay Reum and talk to just such an actor. His name is Rob Cairns. But don't worry about good old Rob. He's landed on his feet.

030: HELENA BUNKER - Stockholm Fringe Festival • Offstage Acting Podcast with Todd Kramer
Today and are talking with Helena Bunker. Fifteen years ago Helena went out the fringe to start a festival and she has yet to return! She has been a pivotal partner in creating, developing and organizing the Stockholm (that’s in Sweden folks) Fringe Festival and has now begun to work on more all over the Nordic and Baltic regions with her partner Adam Potyrkus. Maybe you’d like to go out to the fringe sometime? Perhaps you are even considering creating your own festival out there but wonder what it takes? Well, Helena has plenty of experience starting a fringe festival from scratch in a place where nobody knows what that even means and without a lot of support from the "central art scene." Helena was a lot of fun to talk to and it was great to hear her insight into the highs and lows of a life on the fringe. ※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※ 🔗FROM THE EPISODE⬇️ ※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※ 🙇♂️Actors are nothing without an audience.

029: CASSIE RAINE - Actor & Co-Founder PiPA • Offstage Acting Podcast with Todd Kramer
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 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...

028: BONUSODE - “HOME PAGES” • Offstage Acting Podcast with Todd Kramer
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, and 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. And there’s nothing private about that… ※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※ 🙇♂️Actors are nothing without an audience. So, THANK YOU FOR LISTENING! 👍✍️PLEASE... RaTe and ReVieW! 💕 We'd love to hear from you!

027: JEANNETTE ROBINSON - Director, Writer & VO Artist • The Offstage Acting Podcast with Todd Kramer
Jeannette Robinson… has led one hell of a colorful life… Starting off as something of a “feral” child living in Jamaica Queens New York, then heading to Michigan to live with her Grandmother where, as a talented athlete, she started to excel in running… even training for and having Olympic aspirations and then as a teen having to go into care as a ward of the state after her grandmother’s passing. Jeanette has been living in London for over 25 years and has been pursuing a career in the arts since attending Goldsmith’s University (very prestigious by the way). She has been dealing with disability for many years and is completing a full length play dedicated to the topic, which she hopes will be produced here in London in 2025. So, look out for that! and are super thrilled to be speaking to my friend, the actor, writer, producer, director, voice artist, and all round powerhouse of talent and personality… Jeannette Robinson, this week on the Offstage Acting podcast… ※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※ 🔗FROM THE EPISODE⬇️ ※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※ 🙇♂️Actors are nothing without an audience.

026: BONUSODE - "CASTING PROFILES" • The Offstage Acting Podcast with Todd Kramer
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 and 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.

025: AIMEE MILES - Actor & VO Artist • The Offstage Acting Podcast with Todd Kramer
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! and 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. . 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. ※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※ ※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※ 🔗FROM THE EPISODE⬇️ ※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※=※ 🙇♂️Actors are nothing without an audience.
