OWN Cancels ‘Love Is’ Following Abuse Claim

0

OWN’s Love Is is canceled.

According to Variety, OWN has canceled Love Is, the TV series from the Georgia-filmed series by the husband-and-wife team Salim Akil and Mara Brock Akil. The decision to cancel the series comes just weeks after Salim Akil was sued by an actress claiming the producer abused her during an extramarital affair.

Variety reports that Warner Bros. Television, which produces the show has completed an investigation following the lawsuit and found no allegations of misconduct on the OWN series or Black Lightning, the CW superhero Atlanta-filmed drama that Salim Akil also executive produces.

Production on Black Lightning has continued without interruptions, with Salim Akil remaining on the show working as a showrunner.

It is essential to note OWN announced last July they had renewed Love Is for a second season. According to Variety, pre-production for the show had already started. However, the allegations against Salim Akil created a unique problem for the future of the show, which had been described as being based on the real-life relationship of Salim Akil and Mara Brock Akil.

In November, Amber Dixon Brenner filed a lawsuit against Salim Akil alleging domestic violence and breach of contract. The lawsuit claims she and Akil were engaged in a romantic relationship where he was abusive both physically and sexually towards her. In the lawsuit, Dixon Brenner claimed she and Akil had a decade-long relationship that ended last year. The lawsuit accused Akil of being physically abusive and forcing her to perform sex acts. Variety reports one such alleged incident includes Akil urinating in her mouth. In another alleged incident, the lawsuit claims Akil took Dixon Brenner to a parking garage and forced her to lick one of its walls, and photographed her without her knowledge.

The series centers around the love story between a modern-day power couple. In the world of Black Hollywood, they navigate a complex set of social codes, and this series will explore it all, from the good to the bad and to the ‘90s when the love story began.

Michelle Weaver plays Nuri, a bubbly personality with big dreams who is struggling to make a name for herself as a sitcom staff writer while struggling an assortment of romances that only leave her party fulfilled. After she meets Yasir, himself unemployed and barely holding onto his dreams, Nuri changes all her opinions about what she expects from a man because she’s just found the one who is perfect for her.

Yasir is an aspiring writer-director who is down to his last two unemployment checks and lives (unhappily) with his on-again/off-again ex. But after meeting the stunning Nuri, Yasir finds a reason to alter his life and the drive to access his potential.

Body Language Tips for Actors

Learn body language techniques to improve your chances at acting auditions.

Outside of finding acting auditions, casting calls, talent agents, and managers, actors have to attend auditions and interviews to land a role. Actors are always auditioning and looking for the next job. To land the acting job, they must stand in front of a panel of directors, casting directors, producers, and industry influencers who determine whether or not they will land the role.

Even a million followers on Instagram are not enough to land a role. Instead, you can increase your chances of landing an acting job by presenting the behavior that would make a casting director or Hollywood executive want to hire you. To do a fantastic job at every audition, you must use the right set of tools and acting techniques. That said, body language plays an integral part in whether or not you will get the acting job. To stand out in front of thousands of other aspiring and working actors, you must control your body language so casting directors want to remember you.

To have a successful audition, use your body language to showcase your acting skills. The first step is to analyze how you currently use your body. For example, ask your self the following questions.

  • 1. What can I do to prepare for an audition?
  • 2. What facial expressions do I need to have before, during and after the audition?
  • 3. How does my voice change when I slate or introduce myself to the casting director or producer?
  • 4. What can I learn from my past auditions to land a role?
  • 5. How can I change my body language for the better?

Once you ask yourself these questions, you can change your body language to land acting auditions.

7 Body Language Tips

Body Language

1. Understand your surroundings

If you are doing an in-person audition, then make sure to understand your surroundings. It is often best to keep yourself 4 to 12 feet away from the casting director; This is the amount of space should be determined as soon as you walk into the room. It is enough space to be heard and have your whole body visible. Don’t stand too close to the director as you will look desperate and do not stand too far away as make you look afraid.

2. Use the right body language

The right facial expressions can make an actor famous or leave them on the first train back home. There are several ways to use your body language in an audition.

  • 1. Smile – Most people including Hollywood influencers want to be around positive and happy people. Most actors spend long hours on set and people do not want to hang around someone that can not keep up the positive atmosphere when things are not going well. By having a genuine smile, you will impress casting directors, talent agents, and producers.
  • 2. Avoid looking upset or annoyed. The only time you should ever display this type of facial expression is when you’re acting. Otherwise, it would be best if you continued to smile and keep up that positive attitude.
  • 3. Use the right body language when you perform. Memorize the correct body language for sadness, happiness, surprise, anger, and fear.

3. Practice how you position

How you stand is the way you stand that makes you look relaxed, comfortable and confident; This means having your head up, shoulders back, and knees slightly bent. Get into position once you figure out where you want to stand in the audition room or front of the camera for your video audition.

4. Learn when to lean

One of the best body language movements for actors is leaning in. Some directors or casting directors advise an audition. When this happens, shift your body and lean towards the person speaking to you; This makes the person feel heard, and acknowledge. Leaning also works well during the climax of a scene.

5. Voice

Voice Body Language

Before you start saying lines, take deep inhales and exhales. Deep breaths help calm your nerves and make other people feel at ease as they start copying your breathing rhythm.

6. Eye Contact

When you walk into the audition room, keep your head up and look at the people conducting the interview. After you find your position, look at each person when you’re introducing yourself. It is essential not to shift your eyes too much and to never look down at the floor. By looking down at the floor and having shifty eyes makes it look like you are not comfortable and nervous.

7. Confidence

Model Casting Call

Confidence is what will separate you from your competition. Believing you are the right person for the job increases trust and comfort levels between you and the production team. Here are a few ways to make yourself feel and appear more confident.

  1. Wear comfortable clothes
  2. Listen to your favorite songs
  3. Think about your most proud accomplishments
