This show is going to be in town shooting for another six months, twenty-six episodes in total. So this is not only a great opportunity to be seen by a professional casting director (open calls with pro casting directors *never* happen so take advantage of this) but if you’ve got a particularly fun quirky thing going on for yourself you’ve got a decent shot at appearing on the show. Think about the style for Nickelodeon shows, make big choices with your audition pieces, don’t be afraid to really have fun with it. The acting style is basically as “big” as possible without being a cartoon. Good luck! -Michael Bean, Owner+Head Coach, Biz Studio
