ONE MORE FOR SAFETY 🤣

Ever wondered what "One More for Safety" actually means?

In film and TV, after you've just nailed a scene, the director or casting director might say, "Let's do one more for safety."

It doesn't mean you did anything wrong. It simply means they want one extra take, just in case they need another option in the edit.

Actors hear this all the time... and sometimes that "one more" turns into five more. 😂

“Can you make it bigger… but smaller… more energy… but less… and try something completely different.”

Actors — what’s the most impossible or confusing direction you’ve ever been given in an audition? 🎬😂

Drop it in the comments, I know you’ve got one.

When the casting director asks for your ID and you take the instructions a little too literally... 😅🎬

Actors will understand. Everyone else is about to learn something new.

Acrors, has this happened to you 👇

CASTING DIRECTOR LOGIC

"Act less."

"Less."

"Even less."

"Perfect."

Actors... what's the most confusing audition direction you've ever been given?

Thanks to @brenfosterreal - director-writer-lead actor and fight choreographer of his upcoming martial arts drama feature @relentlessthemovie for this lovely mention of my performance as Kevin in the film. Such a pleasure to work with this multi-talented man and his gifted family. #anthonybrandonwong #brenfoster #relentless #martialarts #2026movies

Step into the casting room and work directly with one of Australia’s leading casting directors. This is the only Stevie Ray masterclass at the Actors Room, Byron Bay, this year.

With 17+ years at McGregor Casting and credits across film, television, streaming and theatre, Stevie Ray brings real, current insight into what casting directors are actually looking for.

This is a practical, hands-on workshop.

You’ll prepare a scene in advance, perform on camera, take direction, and receive honest, tailored feedback, the kind that sharpens how you show up in auditions.
Alongside performance work, you’ll gain insider knowledge on audition expectations, self-tape best practices, and how to build confidence and presence under pressure.
You’ll also receive your filmed tape to take away.

Only 14 actor spots available to ensure focused attention.

Auditing spots are also open for those wanting to observe the process.
