About Michael: Michael Kostroff is an established TV and stage actor best known for his role as unscrupulous gang attorney Maury Levy on HBO's legendary series, The Wire. In addition to his many television gigs, he's toured with The Producers and Les Misérables, appeared on regional stages all across the country, served as an advice columnist for Backstage, created the popular workshop "Audition Psych 101" (which focuses on the psychological side of auditioning), and written four books, including his recently published manual, The Stage Actor's Handbook: Traditions, Protocols, and Etiquette for the Working and Aspiring Professional. The gospel of low expectations. My philosophy is very different from the popular philosophies—no one's entitled to a career. If you decide this is what you want to do, then you're signing on for the unemployment, the insecurity, the inconsistency, and you don't get to complain about it. Yeah, I love being an actor, but it's not dependent on credits or being employed. It's who I am and what I've chosen to do with my life. So sign on for the whole thing. Not just the days when you work. Remind yourself that this is a job, and you are being paid to do it, so you need to show up and do it. The reason that the psychology of auditioning is my specialty is because I was miserable at it. I hated every moment of it. I was terrible at it, and I was all in my head about stuff. And I had to pick it apart to get to the place where I am now, which is I enjoy it. Most auditions do not result in jobs. That's math. It's not because we suck. It's just applying mathematics. And I realized that I was putting all my energy and focus into figuring out how to get a job. And when I realized that is not going to happen 99% of the time, there has to be another reason to go to an audition. And now, I relish the opportunity to be an actor and play a role. And I have a much better time auditioning. And as soon as I said, You're not getting the fucking job; I started to go, Oh, okay. Well, then, I'm going to make the choices I would make if I had the role because I'm only going to do it for one performance. Let's. Let's invest in it. Let's make the decisions. Let's do all the choices. Let's do it my way. Because I can't guess what they're going to like or not like. I think self-knowledge is essential for actors. Because I really know myself. Thank you. Thank you. I'm able to morph into these other characters from it, from a place that's truthful and neutral. I think that to really play those roles well. You know, you have to make a case for your character. You need to be the best advocate for your character. That is sometimes difficult because sometimes the person who we have the hardest time advocating for is ourselves. I really want actors to step into their authority as actors. Trying to predict what people will respond to is the enemy of good acting. Just going, "I don't know if they're going to pick me. Probably they won't. But here's how I'd like to play this scene today." It's hard for us to believe in our own work. I think that's very challenging. It is more effective for me not to think in terms of whether I am a good actor or not a good actor. Instead, I've got stuff to do in this scene. Get yourself so busy with the thoughts of the character and the objectives of the character. I always say when I'm in the scene; there's nobody else who can do it. I'm the only one who can convince these people that my wife is trying to kill me. My mantra is you're not getting the fucking job. Trying to get the job is not conducive to getting a job because nobody wants to watch an actor try to get a job. You're not getting the fucking job. There's no fucking job. Now, convince these people that your wife is trying to kill you. That's what you got to do. You do your prep, and then you've got to throw the Frisbee. You got to let it go. And that's scary. That's risky because you're your ego wants to control it. My best days are the days when I'm the passenger; I'm the copilot. I'm here to show up and to be of service on this day. Rip off the Band-Aid and deal with it because it will not get easier. I really have no tolerance for actors who are always going on about how unfair the business is. Correct. What do you want to do now? Keep the focus on yourself. When somebody is bitter about that or something else, I always ask, "so what's the payoff? Okay, so they're going to be casting more actors of color. So does that mean you try less? Oh, oh, I get it. So you don't have to take responsibility now." Whenever I'm in some negative place, I ask myself this question, What are you not taking responsibility for? Take your emotions out of your to-do list. I'm trying to take judgment out of my to-do list, also. The Stage Actors Handbook And it details our traditions, our protocols, our superstitions, our particular language, and our particular chain of command that you just mostly learn from screwing up. Alfred Molina said, "look; when you transfer from the rehearsal hall to the theater, everything will go wonky." Bebe Neuwirth wrote about the importance of your physical script and taking notes. Stephanie Bloch wrote about leading a company and the responsibilities of being the lead.

Michael has decades of experience, and has appeared on such shows as The Wire, The Plot Against America, The Deuce, The Good Wife, The Blacklist, among dozens of others. He also appeared in the first National Tour of the B'Way musical, The Producers. We discuss growing up shy, not getting consistent work until his late thirties, the impracticality of the entertainment industry, the disservice of "positive thinking", switching coasts, the importance of being a good person on set, how to deal with getting new lines on set, and accepting that not booking the role is the norm.

Your happy-go-lucky every-other-weekly host Tyson Saner is enjoying a well-earned week off to do some family traveling this week, so it's me, Marc Hershon, back again this week, this time Epi281 of Succotash. The Comedy Soundcast Soundcast, hoping that you had a grateful Thanksgiving if you're in the United States. For anywhere else in the world, did you have a nice Thursday? For last week's Episode 280, I had a convivial sit-down with Dana Gould, a great conversation with the shittiest sound quality I have ever had the misfortune to foist upon our Succotash audience since Epi109 and my chat with guest Greg Proops. I believe, decibel for decibel, this one was worse, so apologies again. We'll have Dana back again and I promise it will be under quieter circumstances. If you want to cringe your way through it, though, it is available through all the usual distribution points, like Apple and Google Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, I Heart Radio, Audible, Amazon Music, Soundcloud or even out homesite, at SuccotashShow.com. This week, in an episode I'm calling “Servin' Up Fresh Leftovers”, I have a quartet of clips from four shows I don't believe we have ever featured during the 10+ years of this show. They are B3F, Carefully Reckless, Everything is Alive, and The Amelia Project. In addition, this installment of Succotash is sponsored by Henderson's Pants new Parka Pants – at last, your legs will be in heat. CLIPS B3FKicking us off this week is the B3F soundcast, which booms out of Knoxville, Tennessee, and is hosted by Joey Manning and Steven. I'm not sure what's Steven's last name is. I DO know his Twitter handle is @Steven_is_angry, which may explain a lot. The show's title, B3F, is a way for them to get het REAL title, Best Friends For Fucking Ever, past the soundcast title censors at Apple and other places. And the way I found their show is that they threw @SuccotashShow into a tweet and I included them in last week's TweetSack segment. These guy shave known each other for over 20 years which means they love and respect one another, while still managing to shit on each other daily. In this clip, taken from their episode 117, the “Drowning Rats” episode, they talk about getting away with murder…or not. Carefully RecklessNext up is a clip from the Carefully Reckless soundcast, hosted by comedian and actress Jessica Moore, aka “Jess Hilarious”. Known for bringing her “no holds barred” topics to life on her show, our clip gets her a little closer to home, because her guest is her son, Ash. As you'll hear when this little man trades barbs with his mom, the apple does not fall far from the attitude tree. The Amelia ProjectThe Amelia Project is a curious little soundcast. It's a scripted show with a very international cast and crew, contributing from places like London, Vienna, Oslo, and Los Angeles. The premise that The Amelia Project is a super-secret organization set up to help people fake their own deaths and start over with a brand new identity and life far from where they were when they choose to end things. The clip we're featuring is from their recent episode #45, entitled “Raven”, with cast members Carli Fish, Alan Burgon, Julia Morizawa, and Julia C. Thorne. This is from the beginning of the interview with the subject who'd like to start a new life…and why. Everything Is AliveOur last clip for this episode comes from a soundcast with another very interesting premise. Everything is Alive is an unscripted interview show where the host and creator, Ian Chillag, chats up pretty much anything BUT people to find out about their lives. I grabbed a snippet from his interview with Michael, the phone booth, portrayed here by Michael Kostroff. We've had no calls the past couple of weeks to the Succotash Show & Runaway Truck Ramp Hotline, at 1 (818) 921-7212, so screw that for this episode! That's the button on this episode of Succotash. I'm happy to have been occupying the hosting chair for the past two weeks of the show, but happy to welcome back my illustrious co-host Tyson next week for Episode 282. (I secretly think one of the reasons he wanted to take a week off was so he could go back to hosting the even-numbered shows…) I shall return oddly after that, with Epi283. Until then, keep us with you as you get your Christmas shopping done, batten down the hatches against the Omicron COVID variant, mask up, vax up, and try to keep a civil tongue in your head when dealing with other folks during this sometimes stressful time of the year. And if anyone asks if you've heard anything good lately, won't you please pass the Succotash? — Marc Hershon

Hi, this is Ned Donovan, producer, co-host, and editor of At the Table: A Play Reading Series, a podcast that produces new plays from emerging playwrights as audio dramas with Broadway and other professional stage actors. You're listening to an episode from our second season. We revived this show from an indefinite hiatus at the start of the coronavirus pandemic. We felt that at a time where theatre was shuttering worldwide It was important now more than ever to be producing new plays with wonderful actors and making sure that theatre continues to be produced even despite these trying times. We've picked this play for the audio verse showcase because Michael Kostroff, lead actor in the show is nominated, and we also felt that it's a perfect showcase of a simple story told beautifully. Actors Michael Kostroff and Sherri Edelen are in this two hander by Clare Bierman that allows you to really hear the gorgeous nature of theatre when everything is stripped away from the words and performed stunningly. We will be returning for a third season in the not too distant future. But in the meantime, please enjoy The Very Furious Kugel by Clare Biermann starring Michael Kostroff and Sherri Edelen. Thank you for listening. And please continue to support theatre, which is going through the hardest times that it has in recent memory. Support your local theaters, support your local artists, and everyone please be well, be safe, and be kind.

REQUEST: Please join this video's conversation on VOHeroes.com, where the comments are moderated and civil: https://voheroes.com/how-to-take-a-note-from-a-coach-or-a-casting-director/Hey there, hero!As an actor and voice talent, I've been on both ends of notes.Meaning I've received them when auditioning or being taught, and I've given them when coaching talent.But when I received an email from one of my brand spankin' new VOHeroes Pros, concerned that others new to the profession might not know how to receive coaching, adjustments, notes etc. with welcome and open arms, I realized something.That I never got formal training on how to take a note. I just watched others and copied what other actors and voice talent did...how they reacted, accepted, rejected, fought, embraced and and a whole host of other actions when they got feedback in a session...and how what they did helped (or didn't help) them get better.Luckily, I had some good role models. But it made me think that there might be a place for some formal education on a really simple thing: how to get the most out of being coached.So I got together with that new Pro, Bethany Arrington, and my friend and awesome coach, Michael Kostroff, and we discussed best practices for being world-class at taking notes and making adjustments. I think you'll get a lot out of it, too.#acting #voice #voiceover #onboarding #performance #productivity #tips #art #commerce #science #mindset #success #process #options, #bestpractices #marketing

This week on The Swirl With Bry & Dave: Our First Special Guest, "TV's Michael Kostroff," aka Maury Levy from HBO's The Wire and countless other appearances on TV, in film and on the stage, stops by to share what it's like to be in a Pandemic Pod with Bry & Dave, what he's up to next, and why he's leaving New York in a cargo van with his cat and moving to Canada. Before that, Bry goes in on the experience of being harassed for being a black woman with a white man on the mean streets (of all places) of Midtown Manhattan. "This Week In Gaggery" features hand-picked (literally -- we hold our iPads up the the microphone) sound effects and audio selection, and our usual "Call Out/Call Ins."
