Netflix vs Hulu

Hi everyone!

So this blog is going to be about a VERY controversial topic... The two live-streaming platforms that are in my title are the two (main) ways that people watch television other than cable. Personally, I to this day switch between both platforms. The reason being: certain shows sell their rights to either Hulu or Netlfix. For example, Netflix owns the rights to The Office, House of Cards, Master of None, and more shows. Hulu owns the rights to 11.22.63, SNL, The Bachelor, Broklyn-99, Last Man on Earth, and more. Personally I liked the Netlfix original shows much better than the Hulu original shows until I saw 11.22.63 (a Hulu original series). Hulu also puts shows right onto their platform 12 hours after they're released live on cable. I find that feature VERY cool. Hulu promotes themselves as the only real alternative to live TV due to the aforementioned "live TV feature". Netlfix, however has the "classics", whereas Hulu has alot of newer content.

The final verdict...... Hulu is better!

Voice Over Work!

Hi everyone!

So I know all these acting blogs have been semi-repetative, but bare with me; this one is interesting. So does the show "Hey Arnold" ring a bell? Well if so, you will be happy to know that (as of now) they're remaking that show! I was approached by my manager with something I had never done: a voice over audition. The problem was that I was given the audition at 6:30 PM and my manager needed a recording of me reading the scipt by the end of the night! I was given a script and a two minute audio clip of the previous voice actor talking. I worked from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM on getting the voice "down" and let me tell you, it was hard work. I finally recorded a take that I liked and I sent it to the manager. The next day, I was approached by a voice-over agent that wanted me to come down the the studio and record my take.... So I will be going to record my lines at that place today after school!

Wish me luck,
Aidan

One Line Audition

So today I had an audition for a pilot of a new TV show called "The Mick". Howver, unlike any other auditions that I've been to, I was only given one singular line. I found it hard to relay to the casting directors that I was "their guy".... I mean, I only had one line!! I was given the following information: I would to be playing a bully that was going to walk up to a smaller kid and say, "Hey Chippy. How your folks liking the clink? They join the Aryan Nation?" That was all the information my agent was able to give to me. So who knows, maybe I'll get it; maybe I won't. It was a cool/challenging experience nonetheless. :)
