So I’m 28 years old and going on 29 in October and something I’ve always wanted to do since I was a kid is become a professional VA. But because of my age I’m worried that I’ve lost my moment and even if I start now I wouldn’t have enough time to have it as a career. I’m worried my voice Isn’t good enough and when I li…

I've got my first college audition coming up where I need monologues. I've never auditioned like this before, and I was wondering if anyone has any advice for the best way to go about this/what I should be aware of before going. How do I make myself stand out and not look like a fool. I come from a very small school wh…

I iove to act and, with slight confidence, would say I am quite good at it. My one dream is to be in a movie, and potentially become an actor, but being in a movie is the main goal. The only issue is that I am already 16. Additionally, my history of acting, not including plays in primary school, is a measly one play, a…

I have a rather large following on one of my platforms and while I'm sure that could be utilized by some to grow their voice acting career, I wanted to keep my passions separate and private. So I guess my question is, is the scenario for Madeline Reiter, someone who uses a stage name with seemingly no identity to her n…

From my perspective, I see tides turning a bit in a positive direction. Not being inundated with auditions...but they've definitely been more consistent. Feels like 2024 and 2025 we were lucky to get 1-2 a month, if that. But now auditioning about once a week which feels like a lot comparatively. Anybody else agree or…

Hey actors looking for some advice here, my professor who motivated me to pursue my acting MFA told me I’d land a better agent if I get into a top school. I went on a internet investigation to figure out the rep I’m aiming for and what schools have ties to said agency, and it has me wondering if it’s even guaranteed be…

A few years back, I woke up to an audition request for the lead role in a major blockbuster film. I grew up watching the franchise, so booking the part would be a dream come true. I acted my ass off, submitted my tape, and prayed for good news (along with thousands of other Asian actors). I didn’t think anything would…

I’ve been doing theater for 6 years now, I’m 19 and I’ve noticed something in all the videos I see of myself. I’m definitely more of a singer and actress than a dancer and have never been athletic.

Hi all, I thought maybe getting some input from actors or those who know how to act might be a bit helpful.

I’m SAG and have been with my agency since 2021. I’ve never done an in-person audition until today. I’ve auditioned for and worked on multiple shows and films. In person auditions are SO much better.

There's this narrative that Asians can't be actors because it's a high risk field.

But what I find extremely unhelpful is that everyone around me is against the idea. Unfortunately, I gr…

Does she know Stella Adler (a woman) was one of the best teachers for method acting? Method is now seen as a joke thanks to people who are NOT method acting but just being pricks (like Leto).
