Is bringing tears on cue considered an acting talent?

I can bring tears on command. I can bring tears to my eyes within minutes. I wanted to know if all actors can do that or only a few can. I have seen the likes of Tom Hiddleston, Bryce Dallas Howard, Daniel Kaluyya, Amy Adams and Anya Taylor-Joy bringing tears...

I have very little life experience, no friends, no social life, autistic and feel like my my ability to be a good voice actor is hindered because of this

It kinda sucks not being talented or good at anything enough to noticed or money for it. Like yeah I’ve gotten paid for voice acting but I’m still not at a place where I want to be. Also I paid for classes to even get the skills. I was never naturally gifted...

How do actors/filmmakers work such long hours?

Days that are 15+ hours long seem really daunting to me. It means have virtually no free time or even time to do work (memorizing, preparing etc) if someone leaves for work in the dead of the night and gets back at night again. How do they have a social life...

How does one go about becoming an actor?

I am only 16 years old, but many close to me have said that I have a real talent in acting. However, I have never really used this "talent" to my advantage; I've never played a role in my school theater, nor have I ever tried auditioning for any role in a...

The acting world is competitive

I’m gonna be honest, I don’t know how much longer I can keep putting in the work. For as long as I can remember, being an actress was my dream, but landing a job is once in a blue moon for me, and I have lost hope that I can ever make it big time. I’m tired...

Anyone know any good voice distorters?

Bravery in acting

Acting coaches and actors always talk about being brave, or making the “brave choice,” but what does that mean exactly? I would love an example. If your goal is to truthfully convey what the writer has written, where is the room to make brave choices?

Comparing oneself to others and their success

I have a problem with comparing myself and my work to other actors and their work in an extremely self-damaging way, and I am also incredibly envious of other actors’ talents, skills, and successes that I don’t have. In fact, this is one of the biggest...
