Hi! This might sound silly, but it’s genuinely something I’ve wondered. Say that an actor was going in to audition as the child of an actor who had different colored eyes than them, or for some reason an audition where a different eye color would be beneficial. One can’t change hair color quickly, but putting in contac…

Hello everyone! I (M25) don't know if this type of post is allowed here, so if it's not feel free to delete it. Tomorrow I take my first acting class, and to be honest I'm feeling a mixture of excitement and nerves. I'm m=25 now but when I was younger I used to love to watch people perform on stage. I have so many crin…

Does anyone have any quick tips to edit over the dialogue only on video clips? My goal is to create a demo reel impersonating some of the greats and see how horribly off I am, accepting the wake up call that I can never be a voice actor and just focus my ass back to my day job. Thank you

Applying on Actors Access and booking here and there does not, for the most part, lead to anything. A website just sits there. Plays and shoots all feel like isolated incidents. Social media does not feel productive. How are people (or you) turning what they (you) do into something? What can you do? What do you do? Not…

I always hear professional/famous actors say this. Usually, they're the ones who are considered an "actor's actor", the ones who take their craft very seriously. Even Larry Moss has said this a few times. In their interviews, they always say that actors should be going to museums and art galleries. What does this do fo…

The fact that Harry Styles can just make his debut in a Christopher Nolan film, do a Marvel movie, and now have 2 back to back films to top it off with acting award talks?? I call BS. I understand the game and how unfair it is/the fact that Harry is a popstar and therefore has an audience to profit from but this makes…

Hey guys, I’m a screenwriter and I’m curious to hear if there’s anything that actors would like to tell screenwriters? It could be about anything. It could be something good or bad or maybe suggestions. I’m just curious to hear your thoughts. Because obviously these two aspects of filmmaking rely heavily on one another…

I know it sounds pretty childish, but I’ve always wanted to be an actress. Not just to be in movies and have money, but cinema’s world in general is just so enchanting! I’m still very young and I’m still in highschool, but I really want to start somewhere and I plan to work hard to achieve my goal.

Reading up on successful actors bios, even if they got a late start, pretty much all of them started taking acting classes when young or in college, or at least expressed interest in acting when young.

I was just wondering: if an American production would shoot partly in Europe, do the actors then need a visa for that specific European country (and the production company just takes care of that) or not because it’s still an American production company that they currently work for?

I’m curious to experiences you’ve had for roles offered that turn you away. What are typical female characters that feel typecast to you? What have been roles that challenge and attract you to the character, especially showing the writers and director care more than just being a typecast.
