Have any of you had any luck with business cards? I’ve met a few actors who have had them and am curious if that seems like a worthwhile idea. I was about to give it a go, but wasn’t really sure how to go about it. I just had two headshots (one front, very different look on the back), and my name and email. Not sure wh…

I’m coming up on my 10th month of actively auditioning with my talent agency, and although my agent gets me a lot of auditions, (a lot being maybe 2 a week if it’s a good week/month, as I’m in the Seattle market) I feel like I’m just not booking. I’ve never booked through an in-person audition, and the only things I’ve…

I submitted myself for a role on actors access which was received and accepted. They asked for my agents info and email to confirm. I do have an agency on there however since it was a self submission, do I still have to give them my agents information? Thank you Edit: I’ll loop them in, I appreciate it guys.

My friend is looking to get into stunt acting and he’s been looking at some schools. But he’s unsure of what schools are actually legitimate. Does anyone know of any that are well known and respected. Anywhere in the world is acceptable.

Hi all. I currently live in Atlanta GA, which at the moment is experiencing a great influx in films/TV being shot here. I love it. At the moment I am an unsigned actor.

Prior to the Voice123 UI change, the casting director was able to choose an actor. On the actor's profile, it would show as a "Hire" button. I currently have anyone I've cast on Voice123 shown as "Winner selected!" with a trophy icon. Recently I had a casting call (58 auditions) but noticed there was no option to cast…

Disclaimer: Not an actor! Just an amateur writer with an amateur interest in film. Had a curiosity and didn't know a better subreddit to ask.

My agent submits me to about everything. 2 days ago, I submitted a tape audition to a request he had sent to me, but the role was SAG, and I am not union.

No clue if anybody is even remotely interested in talking about this. And as much as “type” is talked about, I know there is a large portion of those who don’t think an actor has to establish a type via headshots/etc. Me personally, I don’t think a type can be fully expressed in a headshot. I believe in finding materia…

If you're making your own material what is the easiest (proven) way to get SAG? I understand that for most people you shouldn't get into SAG until you're ready.

I am not an actor but I enjoy going to plays. However, there is one thing I see in plays that is like nails on a chalkboard.
