The Stand-In Central Interview Series provides interviews with professional stand-ins to educate others on the job of standing in.
If you have a great angle on standing in, a fantastic stand-in story, or if your stand-in job involves special talents, email the editor at Stand-In Central and we just may interview you!
We can conduct an interview over email or in person (depending on your location). Stand-In Central interviews are great ways to promote yourself as a stand-in and as an actor!
Here are some angles that might interest us for interviews:
- Landing stand-in jobs in markets other than New York City
- Becoming a star’s dedicated stand-in
- Landing principal work by working as a stand-in
- Standing in on soap operas
- Standing in on productions with live studio audiences
- Standing in on productions with three or more cameras
- Working as a utility stand-in
- Standing in for the opposite sex
- Rehearsing scenes with principal actors
- Eating healthfully and keeping fit when on set
- Etc.!
We aim to keep Stand-In Central informative and entertaining. Stand-In Central is a non-authoritative website dedicated to being a helpful resource for the television and film stand-in. If you’d like to contribute toward this goal, please email the editor!
I tried to e-mail the editor, but I keep getting a 404 message when I click that link. I’m interested in participating in this project and I meet a number of the criteria… I’m a stand-in in New Orleans, LA (not NY or LA but super close), and have been a full-time stand in for over 100 days now. I’ve stood in for Sandra Bullock on a major motion feature length picture, but mainly i’m working as a utility stand in, covering both guys & girls, for a new series on ABC. I’ve had a lot of unique experiences including reading on-camera with other actors, and contributing to rehearsals & setting the actors marks myself. I have my own crafty diet and rules when I’m on set, and have a magnificent second team that has our own special t-shirts. I love your site and would love to contribute however possible!
Hi Rebecca! I’ll be in touch over email with you! Sorry about the 404 error — you brought to my attention a bad link but I’ve fixed it. Check out your inbox!
