I've filmed over 10 films now, and only 3 have actually sent my footage (and to my luck, the 3 were the worst quality films I've done to where the footage is useless in my demo reel). I've reached out to all of the people responsible for these films; one said they are trying to get it picked up so they can't release an…

Hmmm....why does voice-acting never have a category of its own? SAG-AFTRA seems to treat VO as a red-headed stepchild too. Apart from that frustration, I'm a former Emmy award-winning TV News anchorman, now seeking more opportunities in voice-acting and on-camera commercial work. I have agents. I have coaches. It'…

I am gay. Not femme, but not "average guy." Like, people usually pick up on me being gay pretty quick, but not by sight. I'm nervous that this will really get in the way of me playing straight guys. How do other gay guys feel about this? And are there online classes you would recommend on how to act more straight? If y…

Alrighty, so this might be a little too far for this subreddit? I'm not sure, but I'm GENUINELY intrigued in this conversation and I'd love to discuss it with people.

I was a promising actor at school and it was an aspiration, but ruled myself out for wearing glasses (and having bad enough eyesight that I can't go without), and also being SAsian, deciding that those two things would strike out almost every role. Was that premature? Contacts and laser eye surgery are not options at t…

Hey guys, so I'm a South African looking to move to the US to further pursue acting. Right now I work as a teacher and do some theatre work on the side.

I'm writing a story that involves a film making plot. I know nothing about film making/acting so I hoped to get some advice here to make it realistic.

The only place I've heard of that is not that expensive and good is JAM, but they're a little too far from the Los Angeles (DTLA) area. Any other good places that are inexpensive and close by? Thank you!

Nothing really special, but I was thinking maybe Sorla Khan will have Gin Hammond as voice actor. Also, maybe new lines were recorded for DOTA, such as arcane rune lines and stuff. I thought it would be nice to share this as I think and hope Artifact will have original voice lines, and not the DOTA 2 ones (at least for…

I have a belly button piercing and I kind of want to get my nipples pierced, but I don’t want to limit the kinds of roles I can get. My question is does it really matter if I have those as an actress if they don’t really show? I don’t have any facial piercings or tattoos so I’m not going to fall into those character ty…

So there's a major Hollywood movie (obviously can't say which one) that happens to be filming in my hometown, and I managed to get signed and fitted as an extra.
