Subscribe to the "Lying Rhymes" YOUTUBE channel, where you will be able to watch the series online – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMPCTqcf5dUdVy8y-FYayTQ Interview with Mihail Todorov, who appears in "Lying Rhymes". 1. Tell us briefly about yourself. Mihail Kanchev Todorov, 18, from Yambol. I completed secondary education at Hristo Botev Vocational High School of Agriculture, specialising in operating agricultural machinery. I would describe myself as energetic, ambitious, brave and serious. I’m interested in all kinds of art and sport, especially boxing and football. I currently work in various areas of tourism. 2. Was this your first audition, and did you think you would be chosen? Auditioning for "Lying Rhymes" was my first attempt to break into acting. I’d like to point out that, thanks to the team’s professional and friendly treatment of me (the Film Casting BG team – editor’s note), I felt as though I had auditioned many times before. ***3. What do you think of paid auditions, and have you taken part in any?***I think it’s a good alternative to the existing casting system, which clearly doesn’t work. This is also evident in the small number of actors appearing in most Bulgarian films today. Paid auditions give talented people who don’t act professionally a unique chance to become stars. ***4. What do you think of the "Masters of the Air" reports that tried to tarnish the series’ name, and what would you say to people who believe them?***The "Masters of the Air" reports were not based on facts, but on unfounded assumptions and suggestions of unproven accusations. When the series comes out, all these untruths will be exposed. 5. What emotions did you experience at the audition and during filming? The audition was an incredible experience and a memory I will keep for life. Filming was quite exhausting and, at the same time, very interesting and exciting. Through his professionalism, director Stelian Ivanov made things easier for me and my colleagues while helping us create an incredible final product. 6. How would you describe the organisation of the casting campaign and filming for "Lying Rhymes"? Extremely professional and well-organised casting and filming. I’d also like to add that this went hand in hand with a friendly atmosphere. ***7. Why do you think the same well-known faces appear in most Bulgarian productions?***That is a fact, because all film productions today choose their actors in the traditional way, which greatly limits opportunities for talented non-professionals *.**8. In your experience, do you know of many cases where Bulgarian producers give new, unproven faces a chance?***That is an absolute fact, and that is precisely why series such as "Lying Rhymes" are useful for Bulgarian cinema. ***9. Would you recommend the Film Casting BG agency, and why?***Working with Film Casting BG was an incredible pleasure, and I would recommend them to all young, ambitious non-professionals who want to pursue acting.
