    Practical Aesthetics

    Hi, I'm looking for some advice from anyone who has studied/is familiar with the technique of Practical Aesthetics. I'm about to start a new class which focuses on PA. Initially, I was really excited about it. However, the more I read into it, the more I am...

    Coming to terms with your SO doing romantic roles?

    \[Sorry if this off topic\] My SO and I have been in a solid relationship for 4 years and she's always loved acting but never pursued it seriously. She finally decided to take acting classes and audition for roles. I'm 100% dedicated to supporting her in...

    Does anyone else have a hard time getting footage?

    I've filmed over 10 films now, and only 3 have actually sent my footage (and to my luck, the 3 were the worst quality films I've done to where the footage is useless in my demo reel). I've reached out to all of the people responsible for these films; one said...

    Voice Actor, On-Camera Commercial talent

    Hmmm....why does voice-acting never have a category of its own?  SAG-AFTRA seems to treat VO as a red-headed stepchild too.  Apart from that frustration, I'm a former Emmy award-winning TV News anchorman, now seeking more opportunities in voice-acting and...

    Gay actors on straight acting?

    I am gay. Not femme, but not "average guy." Like, people usually pick up on me being gay pretty quick, but not by sight. I'm nervous that this will really get in the way of me playing straight guys. How do other gay guys feel about this? And are there online...

    Acting and Marijuana

    Alrighty, so this might be a little too far for this subreddit? I'm not sure, but I'm GENUINELY intrigued in this conversation and I'd love to discuss it with people. So, two things: One of my techniques is to (after already having read the script) is reading...

    Acting with glasses

    I was a promising actor at school and it was an aspiration, but ruled myself out for wearing glasses (and having bad enough eyesight that I can't go without), and also being SAsian, deciding that those two things would strike out almost every role. Was that...

    Is Alan Baltes a scam?

    He recently posted video auditions for Star Wars, Spiderman: Homecoming's sequel and Captain Marvel, but he asks for a fee. Is he scamming actors? I looked up in twitter and there are mixed vibes.

    Piercings question

    I have a belly button piercing and I kind of want to get my nipples pierced, but I don’t want to limit the kinds of roles I can get. My question is does it really matter if I have those as an actress if they don’t really show? I don’t have any facial...

    Should I stick with my extra gig?

    So there's a major Hollywood movie (obviously can't say which one) that happens to be filming in my hometown, and I managed to get signed and fitted as an extra. While I've never really wanted to do extra work, I have a sentimental attachment to the specific...
