Marty’s Set…
June 26, 2006 by Dennis Baker
“On Marty’s set it was like a church. I’d never seen anything like that, where people were so quiet. Literally, you could hear a pin drop. He needs it quiet because it helps him think. He’s constantly rejiggering the shot and trying to figure stuff out. If there’s a lot of hustle and bustle, he just can’t get his work done. So he closes his eyes and focuses.”
-Matt Damon, Entertainment Weekly

Beginning of the last…for now
June 13, 2006 by Dennis Baker
It is slowly coming to my attention that Karen and I are beginning the last things as we plan to move to the east coast in August. One of those things was going to Vegas. We went for the weekend with our good friends Jonathan and Carissa.
We had a great time hanging out, going to Red Rock, eating and laughing alot. Being only four hours from Vegas, we have been going enough times for me to be done with Vegas for awhile. What hit me most was the fact that we will not have the option or our friends around. Jonathan and Carissa will be moving to Nepal for six months in October. Therefore this time with them was special in that we will not see them consistently for a long time. So this was a great way to kick off the beginning of many last things that will come in these next few months.



There is nothing worse than having a casting director, or director, seem not interested during an audition because they have seen a monologue way too many times. Check out the e-book to see if your audition monologues are considered over done.
