Editing & Submitting: It’s an Audition Not a MovieReviewsI've worked almost two decades casting projects for Broadway, television, episodic series, and feature films. Peter Allen Stone was someone I hired and trusted to be in rooms with me auditioning and discovering some of the most talented actors working today. He is not only insightful and keen with his feedback for actors but is also a nurturing voice of wisdom and support. Jandiz Estrada Cardoso, Senior Director, Talent Inclusion, NBC Studios, Los Angeles In Back to One Mr. Stone offers a fresh perspective to an age-old conundrum: how to integrate traditional acting technique with the demands of the ever-changing, modern acting world. Utilizing easy-to-understand concepts in a casual, entertaining format, he provides critical training guideposts to help the emerging actor navigate the oft-complicated, filmmaking process. Other than persistence, I can't think of anything more important to an artist with designs on pursuing a professional on-camera career.
