@AnneliePowell Get a job in front of house job at West End theatre, when i left 10 years ago! there is flexibility but also a community, which is so important, especially when you first graduate! now I’m a massage therapist working on cast and crew in town also work as a production assistant.

[Darryl Oakley @DarrylOakley]

I try writing my own work in producing it where I can. I wrote this itching for love. It’s about dating in lockdown.
I also have/still applying for the open calls at the Globe and other theatres/company’s
I’m 10 years into this industry’s. I’m just ready for more doors to open!

This is important.
@dedwardscasting is 100% right and you’ve heard us speak about this on The 98% often…
Once you reframe what “success” means to YOU, and not what the industry deems “successful”, your whole world can change.

@sianalou Equity might be able to help I’m not sure but it’s deafly worth a go!

[Darryl Oakley @DarrylOakley]

I really hope this is the year I find out if I got the Christmas advert for @Argos_Online . I auditioned in 2009 so fingers crossed, i’ve been pencilled for a long time. and my facial hair needs a trim.

@jonnyyweldon Pirates of the Caribbean theme tune! Always helps to get a bit of burst of energy

[Darryl Oakley @DarrylOakley]

When you get to the audition room and everyone looks the same as you. so you just start going through your lines instead of making eye contact.

[Darryl Oakley @DarrylOakley]

Just finished @RichardEGrant book “the wah-wah diaries” it’s a really insightful journey of making a film. production meetings, creating a script, edits, finding the actors, getting studios on the side filming editing etc, I would highly recommend, to everyone with an idea!

Russian soldiers in Kherson throw a grenade & open fire at residents yelling "go home." Incredible how Ukrainian civilians keep standing up to troops. At least 2 injured. @u24_news

[Darryl Oakley @DarrylOakley]

I haven’t used Twitter in awhile, but I had to tweet you @ambikamod your performance is absolutely stunning, and seeing you in the final episode the journey your character went on, amazing, I proud of her. Thank you for representing the NHS.

[Darryl Oakley @DarrylOakley]

@OliviaGranted And halfway through the tannoy for my colleague to go back to the back check out went off mid audition

[Darryl Oakley @DarrylOakley]

@OliviaGranted I booked my first acting gig real first paid gig, leaving drama school eight years ago. And auditioning for eight years and I finally booked a job, and the recall was over zoom whilst I was working at Sainsbury’s doing the zoom audition in the canteen! 😂
