WILDsound, formerly known as LIFT Out Loud, began in June 2003. Created and produced by Matthew Toffolo, it is a monthly forum for the exchange of ideas and new work featuring top screenwriters, skilled actors, and moderators drawn from respected industry professionals. The series has featured 75+ scripts, 18 of which were subsequently produced. Pat moderators include director David Weaver (Siblings, Century Hotel, Moon Palace), director/writer Ruba Nadda (Sabah, I always come back to you) cinematographer Derek Vanlint (Alien), actor Julian Richings (X-Men: The Last Stand, Being Julia), and LIFT founder Bruce McDonald (Highway 61, Hard Core Logo).
As of July 2003, the second LIFT Out Loud reading, Geoff regularly performed roles for this ongoing series. As the project grew he accepted a position on the LIFT Out Loud committee. Shortly after that; the series evolved again becoming WILDsound; from September 2005 until December 2006 Geoff took a break from acting with the series as he donned the hat of Casting Director. He continues working with the series on a regular basis offering a hand whenever possible and he will always be there to perform a role when asked.

Geoff Kolomayz is a great communicator. His work as a corporate coach taught him strong, clear and effective methods of communication. As a freelance reader, his work with various casting agents gave him insight to the audition process. Working and training with casting agent Ron Leach further honed this insight. Finally, his personal experience as the WILDsound Casting Director developed a clear picture of what it takes to make a great audition.
Geoff meshed his corporate coaching, communication and reading skills with his understanding of the audition process to form actors4actors: a growing company which offers affordable acting coaching and reading services. More information on the service can be found on the actors4actors flyer(PDF).
