Hello All, I work in Canada and have an agent I like. Just wondering if there are managers that consult with actors for an upfront fee? Looking for solid career advice/next moves.

Now be wary, im not a pro voice actor (been doing it for a month), nor am I a director. So im not saying this is in any way good or bad.. but I made this for myself and felt like it’d be a waste if I spent ALL this time typing just to not share it with others. So without further ado: Additional notes at bottom, informa…

Hi everyone, I'm an aspiring actor based in Belgium, and I'm currently at the very beginning of my journey. This summer, somewhat unexpectedly, I had the opportunity to work on a TV production.

As the title says, I’m just curious if I’m crazy or if it is a red flag? They post their other actors bookings and didn’t post my recent commercial booking.

Comedic acting is my favorite thing to do. I would say I excel at it. Improv is another story - I freeze up and I don't know what to say. I have trouble focusing on what the other actor is trying to build with me with their choices. I just don't get it. My brain doesn't work that way. So many comedic plays at local the…

I shot a co star today, and basically… I sucked. I know, you might think “I doubt you sucked!” But truly I don’t know what happened to me.

I had nothing to do with acting when we met. I decided to start acting 3 years ago as it was my childhood dream. The first thing he told me was he wasn’t sure he could handle me kissing other actors.

The character you play existed long before their first line of dialogue — and the actors who understand that life are the ones who walk into every scene with something extra. As Viola Davis puts it, "The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are. But as an actor, the job is to figure out who they were befo…

It is said that acting is reacting. It is also said that the camera can read every twitch, every eye movement, every tiny quirk to convey to the audience what a character is thinking. It is the actor's job to imbue their performance with these subtleties to create a layered, nuanced performance.But what happens when…
