UK actor seeking LA representation by Ok-Share4313 • last post Aug 21st
Hi everyone, but of a random one but I’m visiting LA soon (22-29th) I’m an actor based in the UK, recently been involved in a very popular series based in the UK and done multiple films and prominent adverts. I’m still weary of that fact I don’t have a massively extensive CV but it’s still fairly built up and is all recent stuff. This is my first time in America let alone UK and I’m wanting to take advantage of it whilst I can. Does anyone know of any legitimate and decent agencies/managements in LA who I could email and potentially set up a meeting with that will accept UK based talent and help them with that transition and get them onto the American scene? Any help will be hugely appreciated thank you all <3
Post-debut indie wide release - what should I be doing? Feeling lacklustre by sitkaspruce1998 • last post Aug 21st
I'm an actor in my 20s, I made my film debut as the lead in a genre film last year that did well at festivals, it went to many genre-specific festivals as well as some of the bigger general festivals. I managed to get an agent in Vancouver shortly after it started doing the festival circuit. It had its wide release earlier this summer; it got a fair bit of positive press in big publications and showed at some of the bigger theatres that show independent films in the US and Canada. My performance got strong mentions in outlets like Indiewire and Variety. Living in Vancouver, auditions have been slow due to the nature of the industry here at the moment and the fact I'm trying to get into the union. I was told so many times while working on the film that this movie was really going to change things for me. Apart from managing to get an agent, which I'm obviously thrilled about, things are basically the same as before the film came out. This has bummed be out, and also left me wondering what I actually should be doing right now to capitalise on the release and how to make the most of it for my career? I'm starting to really question if it's even possible to establish a career and build any kind of name/get good work as an actor based in Canada. What would people who have been in similar spots, or just industry professional in general, advise me in my situation or just in general? Thank you!
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!

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 ?

NYC Class Recs for Presence & Authentic Self (Beginner / Personal Growth Focus) by Prestigious_Bee_7755 • last post Aug 21st
Hello! I am a beginner actor and would love recommendations for classes in NYC that will help me with presence, emotional availability, and turning nervousness/tension into authentic form of expression. My motivation for acting is primarily personal growth through classes and performance. I fell into acting by chance and it has helped me incredibly to heal my mind and body from past trauma and toxic work environment. So far my entire training has been at HB studio (speaking voice, alexander technique, acting 1, and scene study 1). The scene study class I took recently made me realize how difficult acting is, but also how much I grew by challenging myself to be present and connect with myself, partner, and audience. Would love recommendations from actors who have taken classes that helped with your personal journeys - which teachers, classes or techniques helped you the most? Thank you!

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.
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.

Hello everyone,
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.
