In the series 'Suits', for example, Harvey Specter literally stands up when he's stressing a point, and it has a pretty powerful effect. I was wondering, is there an acting book that has a compiled collection of these sorts of technical body language changes that allow the actor to convey a feeling/atmosphere?

Is being already established in their country the only way to get a working visa? I often read about actors who moved to the USA in search of work, but I guess all of them had done some previous work in their country. Also, it seems like finding an agent who would enable some higher profile auditions to be the step tha…

Hey! I was standing on the subway and looked down to see a guy writing a pitch for someone to produce his screenplay. I peered down, because im a nosy person and for that I apologize.

Hi, Could you guys give me some advice on this choice I have to make? Basically I am just starting as an actor: I have taken a couple of different classes in the past 2-3 years, and I acted in a few short movies, commercials, music videos (nothing big). This year I'd like to up the ante, gain some meaningful experience…

I'm doing some school research on online voice libraries and my tutors encouraged me to look into some of the more exploitative aspects of online voice work. Some of the most popular ideas seem to be underpaying voice actors, not crediting them properly, pressuring them to the point of stress, or having them take part…

I'm getting mixed insight across different chat boards, so wanted to ask this question specifically for those who've been in the industry a while and/or know a lot about dynamics between non-union v SAG/SAG-e opportunities.

Self explanatory, I want to begin an acting career but where I live from what I’ve seen there’s not a lot of people here who are running any sort of student films and what not.

At the 16:42 mark, Bradley Cooper brings up this really interesting notion about the types of actors that come to set. On the one hand you have the actor that comes with everything "mapped out" that leaves the other actor in a position of almost watching the movie as it's being made. The other actor is the one that fin…

Hi!! I just got my first callback for an indie SAG feature and am being called back for the lead.

I've auditioned and had callbacks before, but always for student films/theatre and…

Never in my life did i ever consider becoming an actor. Not consciously atleast. It wasnt until recent events led me to realize i am emotionally blocked in many ways bc of trauma.

Could you guys share how you know that you really love acting? Or how you fell into it? I’m trying to decide how I want my life to be in the future. If it’s worth it to take the risk of being an actor. Or if I should just do what is safest.

Hi r/acting, This is a question for UK based actors- I have been offered a commercial contract with quite a respectable agency. After reviewing the contract they will be taking 1/3 of my earnings 'if the booking is inclusive of agency fees' and if **not** then they will take 20% of my gross total. Firstly, has anyone e…

I am extremely delusional and genuinely believe I not only can be but already am better than a lot of successful actors.

Just rehearse a bit and sho…
