Hello! It’s college audition season, which means that I get to spend my days having that slight actor paranoia of making sure I get every possible piece of advice to feel as prepared as I can be. Obviously, college auditions are different than regular auditions. They’re trying to get a feel for who you are as a person.…

Hello, I am currently producing an audio drama and the main characters are 8-14 year old children. I am looking for advice on the pitfalls of using adult voice actors to play children. Does anyone have any tips or tricks that might be helpful? Should I be looking for male actors with higher pitched voices? Does this ta…

So I KNOW that I wanna be a actress right, so I joined an acting class but it felt like a job and not something fun, so it kinda made me think well maybe I don’t want to do this anymore. But then I just get these random passions for acting but when I took my acting class it felt like a job and I don’t want it to feel t…

Hey there, I started pursuing acting a couple of years ago and three months ago I managed to get an agent. We clicked pretty well. Thing is, I've had no auditions from them apart from one for their own theatre production. Before signing, they stated that they have connections within netflix and amazon. My passion is sc…

I'm halfway through my degree in education, but I've always thought acting would be cool. How does someone with very little experience get into acting? Anytime I watch a TV show or movie I just think how fun it must be to be involved in creating something like that.

I'm a NYC based actor heading to London for a workshop for 6 weeks. The workshop itself is only 2 days out of the week.

Hello, So I'm not someone who has any big experience in acting outside of a few school plays and sketches in church, growing up, but I've been rather fortunate to just film and do a photoshoot for a nationally advertised campaign for a social media site.

I'm not trying to become a professional voice actor or anything, but I try to practice a bit of fun stuff for DMing my DnD campaign.

Hi, guys. So, I recently signed up for an acting agency here in London and have landed a teeny-tiny minor role. Now, of course, nothing humongous.. more like an independent film...but it still has a fairly decent budget, it will still be available to watch on Amazon for free, I’ll get paid for it, et cetera.

I always see unpaid, non-union background roles on Actor’s Access and wonder if they’re worth submitting for. One just popped up today that’s for an overnight shoot.

Do they tell all the actors who get a callback at once? Or do they do it one at a time as they see each person. Not sure if that makes sense or not

My example is from an acting class, but I think this is a situation likely to happen on set with a director. I’ve had an experience where I interpreted that my character was making justified accusations and denouncing the other character. But my acting teacher said that my character actually had no idea what they were…

Would a Production Assistant be a good survival job for an aspiring actor?
