Let's talk about Verticals

What happens when two German-born women sit down for a podcast chat? Naturally, we spend quite a bit of time talking about Germany… and food! 🇩🇪🥨I sat down with actress Rosa Singerman @rosa_singerman for a lovely conversation about her German roots, her journey into acting, and her introduction to the world of Verticals.A little warning: you might want to grab something to eat before listening! We talk about good German food and the things Rosa misses about Germany’s food culture. So if this episode leaves you hungry, consider yourself warned! 😉Born in Germany, Rosa spent much of her childhood and teenage years here before moving to the United States with her family. There, she pursued her dream of becoming an actress with plenty of enthusiasm and determination.And her first experience in the Vertical Space? Straight into a banquet scene spanning almost 50 pages of script. Quite the introduction to the format we all know and love! 😂🎬 Welcome to the Vertical World, Rosa! 😉We also talk about the role that has challenged her the most so far and what’s still waiting to be ticked off on her Vertical Bingo Card. What would she love to explore next?Beyond the roles, we get to know the person behind them: how acting has shaped Rosa’s personality and helped her grow, what she loves so much about her craft, and what “creative peace” means to her.Join us for a warm, relaxed conversation about German roots, pursuing a dream, and how the characters you play can help shape the person you become. 🎙️✨Verticals with Rosa Singerman:The Captain's Redline (@dramawave_official)This Time Daddy Won't Fail (@goodshortdrama)Rose in Chains (@reelshortapp)My Bestie is the Superstar Queen (@shortical)Mafia Heiress Forbidden Obession (@dramawave_official)#podcast #bts #new #vertical #community

I sat down with Chris Quartuccio @chris.quartuccio for a lovely chat about his journey into acting, his love of music and Christmas, and the roles he’d love to explore next. And of course, we had plenty to talk about when it comes to the world of verticals! ☕🎙️✨You might know Chris Quartuccio as the sweet, lovey-dovey romantic lead — but he would love the chance to show you what else he can do! 😏 Having enjoyed stepping into a villain role, Chris shares why he’d like to move beyond being typecast and explore a wider range of characters.So, casting directors and filmmakers: let’s give this lovely man a few more opportunities to surprise us! More villains, different personalities, and roles that let him show his acting range. 🎭🔥This music-loving actor found his passion for acting through a role in Grease and hasn’t looked back since. We talk about that journey, why he’d happily welcome more action into the vertical world, and the proper Christmas vertical still waiting to be ticked off his Vertical Bingo Card. 🎶💥🎅Speaking of Christmas… Chris unfortunately won’t be able to join Richard Sharrah @richardsharrah and me in Germany for our special event in early December. But he definitely wants to stop by our planned TikTok Live — even if it means staying awake especially for us! Richard, I guess that settles it: now we HAVE to go live! 😂📱🎄Who would Chris love to share a set with? Who would he like to sit down and have a conversation with — and about what? What keeps him busy beyond acting? And how does he feel about a second part of The Quarterback Next Door? 👀🏈All that and much more in a warm, fun conversation with the wonderfully lovely Chris Quartuccio.

🎙️🐺 Werewolves, writing, and a little murder mystery… Griffin Blazi @griffin.blazi joins me for this episode! Griffin takes a break from the screen to sit down with me and explore the world of verticals, the writing behind them, and the fresh storylines we’d love to see next! 🎬✍️🐺 I’m starting to think Griffin might have played more werewolves than anyone else in the vertical space! But why does he keep getting cast in these roles? Naturally, we have a few theories… 😂🌕🤠 And what exactly is this werewolf Western all about? Maybe you can help me wrap my head around Griffin’s vision. Werewolves and the Wild West? There’s definitely a conversation to be had here… 🐺🌵😂🤖 Of course, we also tackle one of the biggest topics right now: AI. Does Griffin feel threatened by it? And why does he think audiences are craving—and need—more verticals with real human performances? We talk about the place of actors and human connection in an increasingly AI-driven industry. 🎭💬✨ From vertical sets to Cannes, Griffin shares his experiences at the film festival and explains why he’s eager to explore more of what happens behind the camera. What draws him to that side of storytelling, and what would he like to learn next? 🎥🔪 Of course, we also get into my planned murder mystery vertical! Jeff @jeffviolette once told me he’d love to play the murderer, and Jeff… I think I’ve found your potential victim. Although Griffin and I aren’t entirely convinced you’ll make it out alive yourself. The plot is still open for discussion! 🕵️‍♀️😂🎤 Can Griffin actually sing? 🍽️ What’s his favorite food? And what words of wisdom does he leave us with at the end of the episode?🎧 Join us for a conversation full of curiosity, laughs, and a few fictional murder plans.

You might know him from his cosplay creations or as “Lucifer” on Instagram — but how did Jennings Brower go from studying finance and cheerleading to acting? 🎭📚In this episode of Let’s Talk About Verticals, Jennings shares his journey and how, shortly after graduating, he realised the world of finance wasn’t really where he belonged.He also explains why he considers himself a “superhero in training” and what, to him, makes someone a true superhero. A costume and impressive moves are only the beginning of that conversation. 🦸‍♂️💬Speaking of impressive moves: his Joker Card and special skill? At 6'2" (1.88 m), Jennings can do flips! 🤸‍♂️ And when it comes to bringing his cosplay characters to life, his creativity seems to have no limits. ✨We also dive into his experiences on his very first vertical set, the roles he loves playing and the characters that challenge him as an actor. What draws him to a role, and what pushes him outside his comfort zone? 🎬👀Meanwhile, someone else was quietly winning him over: Dion! 🐾 Jennings absolutely fell in love with my dog and couldn’t resist reacting whenever Dion popped up on screen to check in on us. Apparently, my four-legged co-host knows how to make an entrance. 🐶😂Acting, creativity, unexpected career turns and a few very welcome dog interruptions — all this and so much more in this wonderful conversation with Jennings! 🎧✨Verticals with Jennings Brower:Mother's Heart Never Lies (MyDrama)Daddy Pay Attention!
