I’m 15 and this year I’ve started to plan what I want to do with the rest of my life. I love acting, done musicals and plays, and I pretty much know that I want to be an actor when I’m older. However I also know that is pretty hard to make money as an actor...

Those who can't, teach (?)

So recently, as I've transitioned to a smaller market, the idea of testing the waters of teaching has re-entered my mind. I'm a working actor (most years) primarily in VO. I act on screen occasionally, though typically in very low-budget or student films...

I don't like my fellow actor's work/project but I'm asked about my thoughts on it

Do any of you get that often? What are you supposed to say in these circumstances? XD I guess there's also a difference in whether they ask you to comment on it after they have done the work vs if they are still involved in it.

Self-tape setup swaps in Philly, Nashville, Baltimore, LA, NYC

Hi fellow actors. I’m an actor based in NYC but I find myself often in cities like Philly, Baltimore, Nashville and LA. Do you have good self-tape and/or VO setups at home, where you’d be willing to let me self-tape in a pinch, and of course I’d do the same...

Dee Bradley Bakers's guide: On the topic of "Talent"

Is it true that commercials can deflate your career?

I've heard some people say that depending on what you start your career with, you can grow or simply plateau in one field. This industry has so many ridiculous things being produced. I knew a girl who did some commercials for Wendy's and she's not really...

Appearing in your own business’ commercial?

I’m an actor who is launching an online business soon, un-related to acting. Would it be okay to appear as a prominent character in the online ads I’m planning on running? Or would this be seen as tacky/taboo?

I get really discouraged sometimes seeing as how sooo many successful actors began acting when they were kids…

I know it’s never too late to start but you have so many actors making it in their 20’s who staring acting in their teens and younger and then theres me just starting in my mid-20’s. I always wonder where I’d be today if I had started earlier but who knows.

To Atlanta Actors, a Question

Is Tucker a good location to move to in order to pursue acting? It's affordable, and I'd have roommates to split rent, but it's about 25 minutes from Central Atlanta. Is that too far?
