Indian actor says the same line in 15 emotions - great expressive range

There seems to be a stigma against referring to a performance derived from a real-life figure as an "impression".

Ever notice this? The word "impression" is always rejected with a statement like "Actor X pulls off more than just a mere impression - he embodies the man entirely". Does this actually mean anything, or is it just some buzzphrase? Because to "embody someone...

Guys, is improv a cult?

Firstly, I like improv a lot. I just feel like I might have Stockholm Syndrome... For background-- I graduated from film school about 1 1/2 years ago w/a screenwriting BA and just wrapped up a studio gig where I realized working behind a desk is not the part...

Harvard and riches, or acting?

As a child, I dreamed of being an actor. It died out going into middle school, and I assumed it was just another childish whim. I am now a senior in high school, and as it is second semester I’ve had a lot of free time. I’ve spent it watching so many movies...

I thought this was pretty important when I read it, so I’m posting it. It’s from an article/interview with Larry Moss from backstage. What are your thoughts

BSW: Do you believe anybody can be taught to act? Moss: The basics, sure. But I find that most people who go to acting class don't love acting. They love attention. There comes a point in your development as an actor when you find out whether you have the...

Acting with Tourettes

I'm a stage actor, and I've been told lots of times that I have a very honest, expressive face. But my big hurdle is that I have Tourettes Syndrome. I've gotten pretty good at repressing my tics while I'm onstage or figuring out a way to work them into my...

Feature project payment

I’m in the process of almost finishing rewriting my feature long script. I will be starring myself, and I’ll soon start looking for a director (someone who’s trying to build a portfolio) since I never directed anything myself. I will be starring in this one...

The cost of living & pursuing acting in NYC & LA simply does NOT equate. It’s all fucking stacked agains you and I’m drowning no matter what I do.

I’ve been trying this for going on 4 years now, having tried both cities. Each year I make less and less waiting tables and bartending. Now it seems like every job is 25,000 a year MAX. Please, tell me how you survive in NYC or LA on 25,000 a year. Show me...

Start or end of open auditions

How do I limit getting type-cast as a child actor who's 6 feet tall?

I'm 16 and beginning my trek into the world of acting. My biggest worry, that has already partially been confirmed, is that I'll be type-cast. I'm fairly thin and just over 6 feet tall, and my worry is that I'll get cast based purely on my height. Many child...

I love to act, rehearsing lines, and research.

My career as an actor started about ten years ago - for my mother's business. She was a great director and we brought in around 500-2500 people, depending in the theatre. As an eight year old boy, you'd expect me to be nervous in front of these people...
