Forgive all the exposition, but just trying to get everyone up to speed so you know if/why this will be helpful to you. Hey all, I've mentioned in a previous post that I freelance as a script adapter/ADR writer. For the uninitiated, this is the process by which a translated file for a foreign (i.e., non-English, in my…

I’m done with the pessimism. I have a lot of talent and I’d like to be able to say I at least really tried to go for it. But it’s been so long and the world has changed in a lot of ways that I don’t even know where to begin or if I even should

Hello! Right now I’m an assistant to a talent agent, it’s going on a year and it’s been great. They’re really great people. I’ve always wanted to work in the industry and this fell into my lap. The problem is, I’m starting to hate it? I’m getting this feeling of FOMO and I just want to get into acting which is realisti…

Hey all! I’m an early twenties career actor and I’m mainly stage. My film credits are fine, nothing special.

Hello there, I’m a 30 year old guy who was just in Los Angeles for 3 years, with one of my main aspirations being acting. I’m also a musician and love writing songs and singing passionately.

I live in CT but am trying to get work as an actress in New York. I have been submitting and have had quite a few auditions. My question is this…. Most auditions ask for locals to New York. It’s an hour train ride from me and not hard for me to get into New York. I lived there for three years and know the area well. Ca…

I notice that a lot of voice actors just by following their social media accounts are left leaning. Not saying it's a bad thing. We can all have our own opinions and I am aware that the entertainment industry is mostly left leaning. But you tend to find a couple of conservative leaning entertainers here and there. So I…

Hello, I'm an actor and due to some schedule issues I cannot take acting classes at the moment. Do you know of any Youtube channels or books that would be helpful in continue to practice my craft? Thank you guys

I’m sure this is a silly question, but I’m about to finish studying theater and actually put myself out there. I’ve been fortunate enough to have gotten to start young and I think I have the skills to at least make some sort of living doing it. I’ve been wanting to avoid L.A. since I don’t enjoy working with hyper-comp…

I have been an extra for the last two years. I have loved how much I have learned during this interval of time but it is time to go for bigger roles.

A few weeks ago, the company I work for decided to launch a big, new ad campaign. Through some quirk of fate, I was tapped to record the voiceovers. The ad campaign, which is mostly on YouTube, Facebook, and a little bit of specialized television (not network) has since become a rousing success. It got me thinking abou…

I've been exposing myself in theatre in my hometown for 4 years now, learning and growing until I get my bachelor's degree at the local university (in a "safer" field unrelated to theatre). I've done almost all of it for free, as a young amateur actor. But now the head of my theatre troop offered me to lead the organiz…

A few times now, I’ve been sent self-tape instructions for what is clearly the wrong character in a film via Actors Access (e.g. today, I was called back for the role of an artsy 14 year old girl but the instructions/sides for the role of her abusive father were the only ones attached). Is there some way I can message…

I’m curious what others opinions would be in this… Do you think if an actor would to get a job at a studio or talent agency that they wouldn’t be able to have much of an acting career?

Hey everyone, Last month I submitted to countless agents and scored three meetings. All three agents offered me across the board representation.

ACTORS! It’s been a tough time for the performing arts. As things open, again, slowly, productions are beginning to cast… auditions are happening!

What exactly is the difference between a „normal“ agent and an associate agent? When I look up some actor‘s agents on the agency’s website (UK) it says who their agent is and who their associate agent is so what’s the difference between the two? Because associate agents can also represent actors without a „normal“ agen…

I don't know about you guys, but I LOVE when a director tells me go smaller. I go as big as possible and let the director adjust.

I've hired five voice actors from Fiverr. The first three all read each line 2 to 4 times. It was not written in their advertisements that they would do this (nor did I request it), but I was very grateful for it. However, the last two only did one take. The first person I thought was an exception to the rule but then…

Ever since the shift to self tapes has gotten more and more prominent (and lowkey permanent, especially for first rounds), CDs have been giving sides that are ridiculously long AND poorly cut.

I’ve booked several commercials but only three costars and zero film. The funny thing is, it’s a catch 22: you need a reel to be seen for theatrical and you need theatrical credits for a reel.
