Agent and Agency Advice by meinai88  •  last post Aug 21st

Hwy everyone, I am an actor in Toronto that has been wirh a boutique agent since October 2024. I am getting alot of auditions (I got 95 auditions in 2025 and I am currently at 67 auditions for this year) a few callbacks from her, and even booked twice. I am super grateful at the auditions that I am getting, however I feel that I am missing out on better auditions cause she is a small agent. I have only had 3 union auditions (1 feature and 2 commericals). I'm debating trying to get a new agent for next year that can get me more union auditions so I can join the union. Was just curious what you all think.

How do you choose between multiple agents? by Effective-Hope1782  •  last post Aug 21st

I have a couple credits and decided to try out that actors access talent link for Toronto and within a day I have 5 agents reaching out. I’m thinking of waiting the full 2 weeks so I have more I suppose. Is it really just luck assuming all of them have similar credibility? They’re all on the actra agent registry so it’s legit.

Advice Wanted: Joining SAG through SPA Contract by ac_nasty  •  last post Aug 21st

Hi there! I recently attended a CD workshop from a very reputable CD who essentially said they filter out all non-union submissions and taft-hartleys are rarely given out now. As someone who is trying to break and get their first co-star credit this was pretty deflating so I've been on a mission trying to figure a way to join SAG to work on higher quality productions. Yes I know non-union work can be high quality however my goal is to work on TV and thus joining SAG appears to be a must to get work now vs booking the role then getting taft-hartley. I'm working on a self produced short film and figure I could use the SPA contract and verify my employment status that way. I reached out to SAG SPA a couple weeks ago and haven't heard back. I'm curious how many fellow actors have gone this route to get SAG? Anyone who could help with guiding me through the process I'd be super grateful. I've read the post in the FAQ about it but given it was posted two years ago I'm hoping for more recent information. * How long did the paperwork take? How long did it take for it to be approved? I see on the [SAG SPA site it says no less than 4-6 weeks](https://www.sagaftra.org/production-center/contract/886/getting-started) but does the process really only take 6 weeks? * Are there instances where its not approved? How can I ensure that it is? * How much did the paperwork and legal requirements cost? Thank you very much!

Weird Mob Media - Interview with actor David Field by BetEnvironmental8551  •  last post Aug 21st

How do y’all do those voiceover tumblr reels/videos with the revealing text thingy?? (Explanation in body) by ThoughtDear7015  •  last post Aug 21st

So this is TECHNICALLYY more related to video editing? but since I see a lot of voice actors doing this same thing I wanna safely assume most of you have already done this. I’ve been seeing alot of these reels and whatnot where it’s voicing over funny tumblr posts or threads. sometimes it’s twitter too. like for example this reel: [https://www.instagram.com/reel/DaguONuiQIE/?igsi=YXp0bnR5M2R4eTg4](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DaguONuiQIE/?igsi=YXp0bnR5M2R4eTg4) . This is just a random reel i pulled from search that does what I’m trying to explain. The text kind of reveals AS the va is talking. And I’ve seen another version of this where it’s very linear and not speeding up or slowing down, it looks smooth but it ends up either not catching up to the voice or going too fast. I think this would be the best way to do this, where it reveals chunks of text at a time. This is probably a really basic question but I don’t know anything about video editing!! Also im doing this so I get a better chance at getting cast. I figured if ***I*** cant find any projects to audition for. What if ***THE PROJECT FOUND ME???*** A lot less effort on my end, and plus, I get a lower reject rate. It’s a win for me!

Acting has made me want to actually live life… so I’m thinking about quitting.. by ShalashashkaBurgers  •  last post Aug 21st

I’ve been studying acting for about…3-4 years, off and on. And I don’t feel as passionate about it as I did before. ? I never really wanted to be an actor growing up but when I took a class, I learned to love it. I enjoyed acting because I felt alive doing it. Being in the moment with your scene partner. Being truthful (as best as I can). Exploring emotions I’ve never thought I’d have. Being in someone else’s shoes. “Living truthfully under imaginary circumstances.” It was a beautiful skill and a very difficult one at that. I still haven’t figures it out yet. But now, what excites me more are trying out new things as me: New food, new activities, new life skills. I don’t want to live in imaginary circunstances anymore… I feel a little conflicted. I little sad. I thought acting would be my my thing. I thought I’ve found my place. But there is a whole world out there.. not pretty all the time but so many things to discover.. Has anyone else felt like this? I don’t even know if I should pursue this now…I’m thankful for it, I love all the people I’ve met because of it, and I have so much respect for this craft and the people who do this.. but now, truthfully, real life looks so much more interesting than imaginary ones ?

Actors: Do You Know Your Rights Around AI? by Sydney S  •  last post Aug 20th

AI is already changing how actors work — from digital replicas and voice cloning to digitally altered performances and consent requirements. If you’re an actor, understanding how these technologies can affect your performance, your likeness, and your rights is no longer optional.


Join The Actor’s Guide to AI: SAG-AFTRA Protections, Consent & Digital Replicas to learn directly from Michael Maizner, a top entertainment labor attorney and former Netflix Director of Labor Relations, who advises studios and production companies on SAG-AFTRA and AI compliance.

You’ll learn what counts as AI under SAG-AFTRA agreements, how digital replicas and voice replication work, when consent is required, how compensation comes into play, and what you need to know before agreeing to AI-related uses of your performance.

You’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of YOUR rights, the questions you need to ask, and what to look for before your performance or likeness is used with AI.

Can’t attend live? You’ll have access to the recording, so you can watch on your own schedule.

If you’re an actor working today, this is information you need to have before you sign your next agreement.

How are we all staying sharp? by Suzanne Bronson  •  last post Aug 20th

Hey actors! We are halfway through the summer, and I feel like I am in the summer slump. Here in Phoenix, Arizona, there is a heat warning. It has been too hot to go outside for months and will be many more months. 

Half the world is in the middle of winter, and some of you may have the winter blues. When things get quiet between bookings or auditions, I try to keep my creative muscles working by reading scripts, selecting new monologues, and finally watching those webinars in my Stage 32 library. 

I'd love to know: What is your absolute favorite way to stay sharp and inspired when you aren't actively on set or in rehearsals?

Looking forward to celebrating everyone's wins here!

New update on the intake by Salima Qribis  •  last post Aug 20th

We’ve been fortunate to create multiple case studies exploring the work of Jude Law in the Fantastic Beasts franchise.


We’ve also had the privilege of studying the incredible performance of Dexter Sol Ansell in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms — one of the most exciting young actors to watch today.

And we recently came across a fascinating Turkish series that explores the art and science of chemistry in a truly compelling way.

All of these case studies are live on Instagram: @theintake_

Boston/NYC actor needs help finding reps!! by Fun_Championship_841  •  last post Aug 20th

Hey party people!! I'm (33 F) a Boston/NYC based actor who has been working pretty consistently on indie films, but I have been having a lot of trouble finding reps! I currently am repped in New England, but most of the auditions I get here are for commercials. Trying to secure some NYC or maybe even LA or Southeast representation, but not sure if maybe I'm going about it wrong or my materials could be the cause?? I'd appreciate any help or suggestions anyone could offer! It'll only allow me to attach my headshot, so I guess I can show my other materials upon request...sorry fairly new redditer ?

Actors in LA and Expereinced Actors. by Left-Yogurtcloset-25  •  last post Aug 20th

For the actors in LA I was wondering should i still move there? I’m 18 and planned on moving next year after saving up around 30k, I need more experience and my state dosent really offer any acting classes close to me, I’ve searched far and wide across the state and to no avail, most recommend Georgia since it’s close but I wanna see acting on a wider scale and be able to grow even bigger than the experience i currently have. I need a class and more time I am in no rush, but i’d rather have something going than nothing, I’m still just currently looking for classes and studying different acting techniques and styles.

Working experienced actor here. I started a blog with the intention of passing on a few things that I learned from teachers and mentors way smarter than me. by OkLiving4047  •  last post Aug 20th

The link is below. I'm going to try and keep posting as often as I can. I have been very lucky in my life to study with and learn from amazing teachers and actors. I'm old enough now that I think a lot about the next generation and giving back. So I decided to start this blog as I place I can share some writing, some of my own experiences, and some technical tips, all with the intention of hopefully making the road a little easier for someone else. Feel free to check it out. [https://www.howtobeanactor.com/](https://www.howtobeanactor.com/)

Is it a red flag my agency doesn’t follow me on social media? by Galvexo  •  last post Aug 20th

As the title says, I’m just curious if I’m crazy or if it is a red flag? They post their other actors bookings and didn’t post my recent commercial booking. They don’t follow me but follow seemingly their whole roster. It just feels weird because they are getting me a TON of auditions and it feels great but idk it just weirds me out and it’s not exactly something I can just say “hey why don’t you follow me on Instagram?” That just sounds cringy. Any input would be super thank you!
