Hey actor people! This is more theatrical- than film-related, but since I saw some theatre in here, I figured I'd give it a shot! I put together a video audition for the [Broadway.com](https://broadway.com/) and Chicago contest to find their new Roxie Hart (**#TheSearchforRoxie**), and I'd love to share it with you. Th…

I worked on a short with an actor, who asked who my agent was. She wanted me to recommend her to my agent, but I don’t really want to recommend anyone whose work and background I’m not familiar with. She’s a new actor, with no training. And to be honest, not to knock her down, but I’m not believing what she’s doing/say…

Hello! It’s college audition season, which means that I get to spend my days having that slight actor paranoia of making sure I get every possible piece of advice to feel as prepared as I can be. Obviously, college auditions are different than regular auditions. They’re trying to get a feel for who you are as a person.…

Hello, I am currently producing an audio drama and the main characters are 8-14 year old children. I am looking for advice on the pitfalls of using adult voice actors to play children.

So I KNOW that I wanna be a actress right, so I joined an acting class but it felt like a job and not something fun, so it kinda made me think well maybe I don’t want to do this anymore.

Hey there, I started pursuing acting a couple of years ago and three months ago I managed to get an agent. We clicked pretty well. Thing is, I've had no auditions from them apart from one for their own theatre production. Before signing, they stated that they have connections within netflix and amazon. My passion is sc…

I'm halfway through my degree in education, but I've always thought acting would be cool. How does someone with very little experience get into acting? Anytime I watch a TV show or movie I just think how fun it must be to be involved in creating something like that.

Hi, guys. So, I recently signed up for an acting agency here in London and have landed a teeny-tiny minor role.

I always see unpaid, non-union background roles on Actor’s Access and wonder if they’re worth submitting for. One just popped up today that’s for an overnight shoot.

Do they tell all the actors who get a callback at once? Or do they do it one at a time as they see each person. Not sure if that makes sense or not

My example is from an acting class, but I think this is a situation likely to happen on set with a director.

Would a Production Assistant be a good survival job for an aspiring actor?
