Hey guys. It feels pretty cringe-worthy to accuse someone of being jealous, which is essentially what this post is, but I am starting to feel like that's just what the case happens to be. I have a pretty close group of friends that I graduated college with, and they all are accomplished, stand up men who all work in hi…

I've been struggling with this for a few months now. I'm an unrepped actor in LA. I'm SAG-E. I'm booking non union commercials, with big brands. I've booked 4 these last 3 months. (all online, or pre-roll ads, no TV) . They've been paying my rent. I have great headshots, I'm getting 3-6 auditions a week. I'm doing impr…

I've been with my first agent for a few years now, and I've always been told they're a starter agency. They've gotten me work, but the truth is that my agent has way too many clients and has dropped the ball on several things. I've got a foot in the door, having done a few commercials and a supporting film role. I'm re…

Hi friends — I have a question regarding motivation of my character and a way that’s playful for my actor and the character’s inferiority. The story is about a student turning in their frat brothers to the school after several sexually assaults a girl at a campus party. The issue I’m fighting is that for me — this stor…

Some of my most recent bookings play the secrecy game TOO much. What I mean is that they don’t even send me call sheets. No sides until I get to my trailer. Just like how the grips or electricians need the call sheet to prep what and how they will plan their day, actors need the same thing! I had this happen for a _com…

I am a sorta successful electrical engineering student and I love what I am doing. But evet since I heard the voice of gollum from lord of the rings, voice acting has become my passion.

Looking for recommendations for Toronto agents that are more likely to take on beginner actors that have proper training, headshots, self tapes but no credits yet? I’ve looked through the ACTRA list but am having a hard time gauging which agents are more “low-tiered” and would actually consider actors without any forma…

It’s been commercial only for me as of recent. I booked and shot my first co star like two weeks ago and I thought having it on my resume would bring in more theatrical auditions but its been very quiet. Someone comfort me and tell me it’s dead right now lol

For some reason Actor's Access has been sending me "I'm a good fit for..." recommendations in Louisiana, Atlanta, and Arizona. I'm an Los Angeles actor.

This podcast is a great listen for actors - talks a lot about the rejections, triumphs, and struggles of the typical actor. Some of the episodes have great insight about the profession, and great guests. Here's the premise: A NYC actor, Connor Ratliff (UCB NY, "Maisel", many other credits), when he had finished grad sc…

Besides casting sites such as Actors Access and Casting Networks if anywhere else. Also, do all agents get access to the same casting calls no matter how small/big the agency?

This is mostly directed to actors with agents, auditioning regularly, and *(very fortunately)* booking professional gigs. I’m thinking of getting back into a class, as I’ve seen only been doing one on one coaching with my acting coach. Would doing a class and some one on one coaching be overkill *(it would be overkill…

For the first time, someone offered feedback on my audition (that I think went incredibly well) and told me I was too rigid and that I wasn’t listening enough, even when I was improvising. That’s something I keep hearing and that has always kept me from having interesting roles. I have been working on this my whole lif…

Hi folks, I am a theatre actor in the DC area and would like to branch into tv/film.

Beware! This teacher is a narcissist. She claims to be an acting coach, but she knows nothing about the craft. She is a hack. If you disagree with her she will publicly shame you. She says that her technique is the only truth and only the good actors stay in her class and the shitty ones leave. Sounds like what a cult…
