    Got my first role in a student film!

    Really, really giddy. Just want to celebrate a bit, don’t really have anyone to share it with. I love acting, it's so much fun and storytelling is just... a wondeful experience. I did a bunch of theatre in HS, but decided to go to university for a degree...

    Background actors must not approach principal actors

    Private thread to get demo reel feedback?

    I feel that people I know in real life have a tendency to fan my ego and I’m just looking for something honest and constructive regarding the content, performance, and structure. I have a limited understanding of how Reddit works and mostly peruse when I’m...

    I want to get I to voice over work, any advice?

    Someone I know told me I have a good voice (British, deep voice, 21 years old) and would be ideal for voice over work. I’ve had no training and I have no idea where to start. I am not really interested in the standard voice “acting”, with different accents...

    Agent Message Advice?

    Hey, I need to talk to my agent, but I don't know how to much say and what to withhold. Here's the situation: My mom pays for my union membership, headshots, acting classes/private coaching, self-tape equipment, etc. She even let me be in L.A. by myself at...

    Lead role auditions?

    I recently spoke to a top 50 agency that told me they only submit for guest stars. Is this normal? What agencies submit for lead roles? I thought all top agencies could submit actors for lead roles?

    Sundance Film Accepted!

    Howdy y’all! So to keep a long story short, I’m an actor with few few credits. Very new to the game. However, I did book my first SAG indie short earlier this year in LA. It was a fantastic experience as I am one of the leads of this short. It was a challenge...

    Is 13 a slow age for actors?

    Last year at this time, my daughter tested for a pilot, had lots of tv and film auditions, then after the summer we had one television audition and a few commercial auditions. No auditions from our manager. We haven’t booked anything for a year and a half...
