“Hey, girl! It’s me! The person who hasn’t reached out or spoken to you, at all, in 3+ years! How do I get into VO? Btw heard that you’re in casting now! Congrats! I know we have never been close but I’d love to network with you now!”
Yeah man, no matter how slick you think you might be, everyone *always* sees through this. I much prefer the people that are like "I saw you were working on this and I'd love if you could listen to my demos thanks." Over OMGHIIIIIIFRIEEEEND *any day.*

Even when this tactic works, and you get the audition and you book the part, it really doesn't generate any good will between you and the person you're trying to ingratiate yourself with.

So, say a former peer ends up in the industry as well. What's the appropriate move? Do you say nothing? Do you reach out and try to connect and share experiences? I understand not wanting to dress it up as something it's not but is it better to just keep to yourself or reach out?
