When I signed my contract with my agent, she explicitly stated that I was NOT allowed to submit myself for things anymore on actors access or sites similar (except for small student films). However, I still occasionally check to see what new breakdowns there...

This is something I've been curious about for a while. Personally, I've been a big fan of Jung for a bit now. When I learned about the connections between psychoanalysis and dianetics something in my mind clicked. Like, the whole Scientology thing is very...

Help me understand Jeff Seymour's approach

I had an audition today around 7:15 PM, and it's currently 11 PM where I live. Callbacks are tomorrow evening. I am a beginning actor, so it's killing me wondering if I should have been notified by now. When is a good time to assume I haven't been called back?

Basically, I have an audition due today for a really cool role, but I'm not satisfied with the final product. It was a last minute self-tape, and with the time I had I wasn't able to get it to where I wanted it to be. I did put in my best effort, though...
