Drewling Samantics
Drew and Sam are actors. They haven’t won any Academy Awards yet, and neither of them is in line to be the new James Bond (sorry Sam), but between them they do have over half a century’s worth of experience in the industry. Many months ago a combination of boredom, significantly reduced work opportunities (thanks pandemic!) and overactive and under-stimulated imaginations inspired them to create a podcast, and somehow they’re still at it. Join the Drewling Samantics chaps every Sunday (or download and listen later) as they give an entertaining insight into how their industry works - from modelling to voiceover, theatre to film, and television to streamed media, the gents talk about all areas of performance artistry, giving an insider view that is sometimes humorous, often eye-opening or poignant, and at times just downright strange! With regular guest appearances and the odd special ‘on location’ segment, Drewling Samantics brings something unique and fresh to the world of podcasts from two normal blokes, working in a rather abnormal industry.

S13E07 - So... How did it go?
So... How did it go?
It’s straight in in today’s episode, with a subject that is very much a regular topic of consideration for our podcasting pair - Drew and Sam are discussing auditions! A necessary evil some might say, but actors and performers spend a great deal of time trying to get, prepare for, and (with any luck!) nail them! Castings, test-shoots, auditions, all can be a bit of a headache and a trial, but equally sometimes are fun and can be enjoyed. Two main things are for certain however - the business can’t do without them, and performers can’t avoid them!
Whatever form they take, from in-person, workshop, open call, recall, self-tape, or other, every individual has their own methods of preparation and dealing with the almost inevitable nerves, the other auditionees, and the often intimidating panel that are all par for the course when it comes to trying to land a role. And auditions certainly can be a minefield to navigate, so Drew and Sam discuss how they personally try to step carefully (yet enthusiastically!) through the process, and hopefully come out the other side with “the job”.
Yet another massive subject is addressed by our dynamic duo, and not just wanting listeners, viewers and subscribers to enjoy the episode, this is another opportunity where the chaps actively encourage involvement - after all it’s all one big podcast family here at Drewling Samantics!
