EverydayActors.com is the iStockPhoto of the Acting World - The Site Turns Regular People Into Working Actors

Content producers browse talent and find exactly who they need using unique search tools.

2012-10-05

TORONTO, ON, October 05, 2012 (Press-News.org) At EverydayActors.com the main goal is to link everyday people (our actors) with video content producers.

Times have changed, budgets have been reduced, and content producers are looking for local everyday people to star in or work as background talent in films, commercials, corporate training videos, music videos and other productions. This isn't about becoming a star or having lofty Hollywood ambitions. For EverydayActors' members it is about getting work in the business just being oneself.

A network of agency members use EverydayActors.com to find the specific people they need for these productions. By using a proprietary "search" tool, they view actors by city, gender, age range, union, non-union, ethnicity, and style and can interact with their chosen talent directly to engage and hire.

The site allows everyday people to create a professional acting resume using photo, video and bio content - profile creation is FREE for the month of October - after that a profile can be created for the nominal fee of $20 per year. Members have their profiles available to some of the world's leading film and video producers, not to mention all of the smaller firms now producing corporate YouTube videos, customer testimonials and training videos.

www.EverydayActors.com is currently serving New York City, Los Angeles, London U.K. and Toronto, Canada with other markets to come.

New Study Shows Marked Drop in PTSD Symptoms in Combat-Exposed Marines from Healing Touch and Guided Imagery

2012-10-05

Three weeks of healing touch treatments, combined with listening to a guided imagery CD, provides significant clinical reductions in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms for combat-exposed, active duty Marines, according to a study released in the September issue of Military Medicine. The report finds that the 68 Camp Pendleton Marines who were randomly assigned to 6 sessions of the combined intervention within a three-week period also showed significant improvement in quality of life, as well as reduced depression and cynicism, as compared to the 55 subjects ...

New study links caffeinated coffee to vision loss

2012-10-04

Rockville, MD – A new study suggests caffeinated coffee drinkers should limit their intake to reduce their chances of developing vision loss or blindness. According to a scientific paper in Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science, heavy caffeinated coffee consumption is associated with an increased risk of developing exfoliation glaucoma, the leading cause of secondary glaucoma worldwide. The study, The Relation between Caffeine and Coffee Consumption and Exfoliation Glaucoma or Glaucoma Suspect: A Prospective Study in Two Cohorts, is the first to examine the link ...

OU researchers implement a multi-photon approach in quantum cryptography

2012-10-04

NORMAN, Okla. – Move over money, a new currency is helping make the world go round. As increasing volumes of data become accessible, transferable and, therefore, actionable, information is the treasure companies want to amass. To protect this wealth, organizations use cryptography, or coded messages, to secure information from "technology robbers." This group of hackers and malware creators increasingly is becoming more sophisticated at breaking encrypted information, leaving everyone and everything, including national security and global commerce, at risk. But the threat ...

Anthropologist finds evidence of hominin meat eating 1.5 million years ago

2012-10-04

DENVER (Oct. 4, 2012) – A skull fragment unearthed by anthropologists in Tanzania shows that our ancient ancestors were eating meat at least 1.5 million years ago, shedding new light into the evolution of human physiology and brain development. "Meat eating has always been considered one of the things that made us human, with the protein contributing to the growth of our brains," said Charles Musiba, Ph.D., associate professor of anthropology at the University of Colorado Denver, who helped make the discovery. "Our work shows that 1.5 million years ago we were not opportunistic ...

'Humanized' mice advance study of rheumatoid arthritis

2012-10-04

Researchers at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine have developed the first animal model that duplicates the human response in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), an important step that may enable scientists to discover better medicines to treat the disease. Corresponding and senior author Harris Perlman, associate professor of rheumatology at Feinberg, introduced his team's new prototype mouse model in a recent online issue of the Journal of Translational Medicine. "This is the first time human stem cells have been transplanted into mice in order to find RA ...

Progress reported in tackling initial, recurrent bouts of health care-associated infection

2012-10-04

CHICAGO — Surgeons are making progress toward preventing initial and recurrent episodes of clostridium difficile colitis (C. difficile or C. diff), a vicious bacterial infection that is estimated to affect about 336,000 people each year, typically patients on antibiotics. Using mouse models, researchers at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Boston, found that an oral medication may prevent C. difficile infections (CDI). Also, surgeons at Penn State University College of Medicine, Hershey, PA, examined human patients to detect a genetic mutation that could steer ...

Botox as effective as medication for urinary urgency incontinence

2012-10-04

MAYWOOD – Botox® (onabotulinum toxin-A) injections to the bladder are as effective as medication for treating urinary urgency incontinence in women, but the injection is twice as likely to completely resolve symptoms. These findings were published in the latest issue of The New England Journal of Medicine by a National Institutes of Health clinical trials network including Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine (SSOM). Urgency incontinence is urinary incontinence with a strong or sudden need to urinate. Traditionally, this condition has been treated with ...

Clot-busting enzymes are working 2 jobs

2012-10-04

The body's blood clot-busting enzymes are much busier than previously imagined, with new research showing that they also dispose of every cell that dies prematurely from disease or trauma. In research published today in Cell Reports, scientists from Monash University have demonstrated for the first time the enzyme t-PA, which plays a vital role in the removal of blood clots, is also a major player in the removal of necrotic, or dead, cells. Necrosis occurs when cells in living tissue die prematurely due to external stress or injury. The body's system for removing waste ...
