FEATUREDi ama passionate person that loves to create and get into character
FEATUREDMy name is **Augusta Shaw**, and acting has been a dream of mine since I was 15 years old. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to bring several characters to life on stage, including Bernard in *Boeing Boeing*, Robert in *The Play That Goes Wrong*, Glenn in *Rumors*, and Hoke in *Driving Miss Daisy*. I received professional training through the John Casablancas Center, where I studied monologue techniques, commercial acting, cold readings, improvisation, voice-over, teleprompter work, and spokesperson techniques. I also received modeling training in photo posing, posing with props, runway techniques, runway doubles, and runway choreography. Before pursuing acting, I served as a police officer for eight years, an experience that taught me discipline, professionalism, confidence, and how to perform under pressure. I also have computer technology skills and a background in sports, including football and basketball. Outside of acting, I enjoy fishing and hunting. I love learning new things and challenging myself. When I’m faced with a challenge, I don’t back away from it—I meet it head-on. Acting has been a dream of mine for many years, and I’m committed to continuing to grow as an actor, take on new roles, and give everything I have to every opportunity that comes my way.

Just starting out, but ready to make an impact.

Hello, I am retired from the federal government. I am an author, writer and a conversationalist. I love engaging with people who are passionate about their work and community. I am at a point in my life where I’m facing my fears. The stage and acting is a quiet dream of mine. From a man telling me “I couldn’t do nothing without him. To being on a set”! Now, that’s a dream come true for me. My book I WISH YOU WOULD! “LETTING GO OF MY PAIN” speaks about my journey through abuse to forgiveness and Grace! God has been good to me and my children. My son is a Retired Marine. Who also was an actor. My daughter is a professional in law enforcement in Louisiana where we live. I’m blessed that I get to speak about my experiences and encourage others that they can also leave and live in peace also. My acting experience comes from being an abused woman who has had to act for her abuser and family and friends for years that all is good. My father knew that I was not doing well. He saw through the act! He knew me. I was his child. So, I know how to act and to use the emotions inside of me and express them outwards. I look forward to meeting you soon. Blessings. Thank You, Sandra K Bridges Skay4real🌷

I'm a mother of three grown children and a granddaughter. I work in surgery as a surgical technologist.

I've had a very colorful life. Nondrinker, nonsmoker, no drugs (willing to pretend). I've toured as a musician and sideshow clown. I worked for 7 years in the background of "Pitbulls and Parolees" (not a parolee), played 3 characters in "Waterworld the Musical" a local spoof performed in a pool with lines and a song I wrote myself and an underwater costume change. Was in a few independent films "Fat Tuesday", "Loren Cass", and another project consisting of 3 full length films that hasn't been named or released yet. I wrote a couple feature film scripts that I'd like to direct and shoot. I worked on the film "HONEY ISLAND" as a lighting tech and I do audio tech and stagehand work for concerts and festivals. I don't have an IMDB yet but, I'd very much like a role that gives me the reason to do so. Willing to travel and do my own stunts. World record for eating lightbulbs. Thank you for any consideration.

49 years young. Singer, song writer, co-music producer, published 2x author. Attended John Casablanca’s as a teenager (modeling and some acting skills).

Entrepreneur, mother, and driven business owner who has built multiple businesses from the ground up. I’m naturally outgoing, energetic, and bubbly, and I love connecting with people and bringing a positive energy into every room I walk into. I’m passionate about business, fitness, personal growth, and creating new opportunities. I’m not afraid of hard work, taking risks, or stepping outside of my comfort zone, and I bring a fun, authentic personality and a strong competitive spirit to everything I do.

I'm a New Orleans–based aspiring actress who discovered my interest in acting through a beginner Theater I class in high school. I'm new to the industry and excited to learn, build my skills, and gain experience in film, television, and theater. I'm especially interested in exploring different characters and challenging myself as a performer.

I don’t have any professional acting experience but I am a quick learner and I have a photographic memory when it comes to words and scripts.

I’ve been doing background acting for about 11 years now. I’ve been in numerous movies and TV shows in the New Orleans area as an extra and as a stand in. I was featured in an episode of CLAWS as a judge for a nail competition as well as 4 other episodes of this series. I was in The Green Book, NCIS New Orleans, Queen Sugar, Last Laugh, Filthy Rich, Leverage 2.0 and most recently for the series Ally Clark. In all I’ve done between 20 and 25 shoots.

I am a bohemian soul with a zest for life and all its’ possibilities! By day, I am a Registered Dental Hygienist, board certified by the state of Louisiana as of May 2026—that’s right, after 17 years in dentistry in various roles, I went back to school finally now that the nest is empty! I love to bring joy to others, so I’m a bit of an eccentric goofball, never shying away from an exhilarating challenge. Quick on my feet with wittiness, I appreciate an intelligent debate, even if I am a laid back dreamer at heart! I’m artistic and creative, with a history of playing various musical instruments and performing as a dancer of all genres, although contemporary is my first love! I take direction and constructive criticism well, so although I don’t have professional acting experience, I’m not deterred! Put me in coach!
