Описание: Ever wonder what a Hollywood writer and producer really thinks when they watch actor audition tapes? In today’s breakdown, Mike Soccio go beat-by-beat through real audition sides, performance choices, and the mistakes that quietly cost actors callbacks. If you’re an actor trying to level up, this is the kind of inside information you never get to hear.

In this video, Mike break down how to approach monologues, make character choices that feel alive, and avoid the robotic line-reading trap.

Whether you're self-taping from home or prepping for your next live read, you’ll learn what separates a “pretty good” tape from a booking — and what Hollywood decision-makers are really looking for.
