Currently in acting school, and my movement teacher has been quite adamant about not lifting weights, since they say we are working to get rid of tension, and lifting weight adds tension and is a very tense and straining exercise. I’m just wondering if this is true and if you agree with it? I’m wanting to lift weights…

Hi! I’m a non-eq actor & got the call this morning: I booked a summer gig. YAY! The pay is not great, but not horrible as far as non-eq goes. $400/wk. Unfortunately I still have to pay rent in another city, even though my gig provides housing. So I’m wondering if asking for a small raise to meet my needs is possible. T…

I don't mean working actors. I don't mean celebrities. If you counted up everyone "trying" to be an actor in NYC, LA, USA, or globally. What do you think the number would be? I define "trying" as anyone who works or wants to work as an actor that spends some portion of their day either doing such or pursuing acting wor…

Hey - staying super vague about this, obviously. I just emailed someone about auditioning from a casting call on FB. I gave him details, my IMDB, my experience, a reel, etc. He replied back without even needing me to audition — he basically just said “cool! happy to work with you!” and gave me the necessary info. He wa…

Hi, ​ When I upload a theatrical headshot for actor's access, and even if I have other photos. Do CDs for non-commercials only see the theatrical headshot or they only see that one first? The theatrical shot I have is very charactery and I was thinking if that's the one they see first, it'll prevent me from gett…

Hello, all. I know very little about this industry. I am not an actor nor someone who wants to become an actor, but I am very curious about this situation and want to know what you all think.

Hii! I have a dream to become an actor in the US. The thing is that I have a little bit of an accent. I feel like I will never make it big with an accent and I’m having trouble getting rid of it. P.S my accent isn’t like Sofia Vergara’s or smth like that to become my thing. Do u think I should give up?

So I’m an aspiring voice actor and I’ve spent around 4 hours over the past couple of days recording things in a small home studio I have and over those 4 hours I’ve not kept a sings voice line because I think all of them are completely worthless and not good enough to be heard by anyone, is it normal to think that?

I used to know it, but now I've forgotten. Is it Jan - May the slow season? Advertisers cut back on spending starting in January through March and I believe that affects commercials overall. Also, a bit unrelated. But how many of you think commercials are worth pursuing? I sometimes question my interest in it. It's lik…

I think what scares me about digging deep into myself emotionally for my acting is that I might come up empty-handed; meaning I won’t find what is needed or what I need in myself for the truth, if that makes sense. I’m also TERRIFIED of failure: that if I don’t dig deep and find something that is useful then I’ll feel…

Thought I'd finally hit the Voice Actor life. Like most of my projects, I hit a bit of a wall when preparing/over-preparing and veer a bit into eccentricity.

If you're planning to do a demo reel, please (PLEASE), try to start by speaking normally in your most natural voice... don't rush into a frenzy of over-acted cartoon characters with music blaring in the background.

Usually whenever I read a script/sides and the characters info I usually know the "correct" way to say the lines (at least from my point of view and my take on it.)

I know we all love to book, but is there really such thing as a booking ratio? The amount of jobs you book depends on so many factors, and it can highly vary from year to year. And an experienced actor is (mostly) going to book more consistently than a newer actor, so in those situations is it even comparable? Curious…
