    How to land representation in other states?

    I am a Northwest actor with a lot of experience in the business. I have pretty decent materials, and quite a few (regional) credits. I am trying to figure out if it is at all realistic to think that I can find representation in other markets where I don’t...

    HELP. HELP. HELP. Please.

    I feel the constant, consuming need to be good/great as an actor. I’m trying to shed the need and desire to be a great actor in favor of trying to create as an actor/artist for the love of it and the character that I’m portraying. It’s so damn f\*\*king hard...

    The reader/actor of my Zoom Audition…

    So the other day I did a zoom audition to test my chemistry with the main character (who they have already cast). The actor was dead pan and missed multiple lines each take or said them early etc- I improvised through it. But it was rough. We were meant to be...

    How do I know if I'll make a good actress?

    I have wanted to be an actor since I was like…4 years old. I suppressed it because I thought my family would disapprove. Now that I'm 18 I want to take steps towards getting into acting, but I just don't know if I would be any good. I'm not emotionless, but I...

    Is Momentum Talent a good agency?

    I see they are stationed at Warner Bros and have a couple positive reviews, but I can’t find anything about their clients/projects/success online, and they don’t post about their current actors on Instagram like other agencies (which makes me wonder if a lot...

    Agency "double dipping?"

    I'm just trying to gauge how common this is. In my area (a medium market), it's common for a contract with an agency to include a clause saying they're entitled to their 10-20% *in addition to* the 20% that productions will often tack on. To me, it seems like...

    I'm making a film, just a casual project, but I want to make it as good as possible. I'm acting in it, as well as another actor. I'm worried that our lack of acting skills will ruin the film. Is there anything I can do, or should I just accept that it might...

    PR

    Today I had an eye-opening experience.

    This might be common knowledge to those of you who do it regularly but it blew my mind - today I had my first day on set on a student film as an extra, and while talking to the other extras I discovered 2 of them intentionally seek out extra roles - most...
