The reason im asking is because i have a good feeling most of my work is shit. And recently i booked a big movie (probably because of my instagram following) but I was horrible in it.…

Hi all! I've been thinking of the future a lot, as my sister is graduating soon (lots of college talk in my house). So, here's the thing.

*This is al purely hypothetical and applies to future auditions and castings as well not just this particular one! I got an actors access audition for a very low budget & cheesy “scary” TV show.

I signed up for online acting starting tomorrow. Is it normal when you read a monologue to sound stiff and fake? I haven’t memorized anything yet, but I’m worried that I won’t ever sound natural. I’ve never read a monologue or memorized or did anything having to do with acting before. Could practicing and learning real…

Hey guys, Since I'm stuck inside with no acting prospects on the horizon I thought it might be a good idea to learn up on some stuff. Does anyone know any free/cheap online courses or just anything that you think an actor should learn about? Cheers and I wish you all the best roles in all the best shows

Hello everyone, this question it's for a friend of mine, who sadly doesn't have documents in the US. He is from Spain and he has a good experience in acting, he is good looking and a great actor.

Since I began my VO journey a little under a year ago, I’ve always thought it would be interesting to break into anime dubbing with a company like Funimation. I understand that getting into anime dubbing is harder than it sounds and many young aspiring voice actors get into the business specifically because they want t…

Hey all, I hope you're well and safe. This seems like the worst time to be thinking about school, but with all the free time I have on my hands...

I have seen many posts and have noticed many scams in the acting business. It’s honestly really sad to see many people trying to scam clueless actors into their bs.

Backstory: I’m a 15 year old with really nothing next to my name in acting, save for some leads in school productions, and I’d really wanted to become an actor until around 2 years ago.

Hello everyone, I hope you are safe and healthy. So, I was wondering. How can international actors with no representation get into auditions in the first place.

When an actor repped at a major agency (CAA, WME, UTA) is sent on auditions do the agents send the casting director a resume or do they just go in and audition with just a headshot. I would think that at that level, just being repped by one of them would suffice enough for a resume.

Okay so first I want to say that I'm not a professional actor and I'm not interested in theater really.

Don’t get me wrong, I completely understand that to become a better actor you go to acting lessons, you analyse film and then the other 90% is actually ACTING a scene or whatever.

I've recently come to the conclusion there are two types of actors. One that discover acting at an early age, and they then pursue it, and it gives them hope and direction for the rest of their lives in some fashion...and if they don't listen, they end up rudderless and have to scrape everything together in an unorthod…
