Take this scene for example with Liam Hemsworth and Jennifer Lawrence. At 3:55 Liam’s voice cracks in the work “pain.” I just wanted to know if anyone k…

I am auditioning for a part in a production of Flanagan's Wake this Sunday. They say they prefer actors who can do an Irish Dialect. Can anybody recommend good resources to learn this without sounding like a racist stereotype?

Today while shooting a dialogue heavy scene, I honestly forgot most of the script. I knew generally what I was supposed to be talking about but forgot specific lines. So, improvised. Surprisingly, my fellow actor started improvising too, mainly because what I was saying didnt quite fit the lines he was gonna say. At th…

We all love acting. And it's a hard thing to achieve sometimes, a good career in it. Do you ever watch shows that you love or movies that you love and then get really sad, because you can just *see* it. You can see how you would act, how a character you play would fit in. And then the sadness hits because it's probably…

I'm a 26 year old woman who lives in Portland, Oregon currently. Not a huge city but not small bananas either. I want to get into acting, but am wondering if I'm shooting myself in the foot by being in a smaller city. Any thoughts? Thank you so much for your input.

I'm 20 years old and I've wanted to act since I was a little girl.

In my third year at university and we are working on screen (not for the first time) and need to take in 3 character scenes. Got a few ideas, but thought I'd ask my fellow actors.

TL;DR - got cast in an unpaid role that is enormously different than what I expected with a community theatre that takes itself far too seriously. The long of it: I am primarily a stage actor.

As actors we crave expression, connection and opportunities to work on our craft. We search for gigs, send out our headshots and fill our heads with theory and technique. And we wait. Soon we might feel a little discouraged, a little stagnant and a little fearful that our dream to be an actor is not going to happen. Do…
