    How do I tell my parents I want to be a film actor?

    So, for my entire childhood, I was always under the impression that I wanted to be a nurse, helping out the sick and dying. However, as of August, I joined an acting class for fun and really fell in love with it and I realized that acting is what I'm very...

    Multiple takes requested - which one to put first?!

    Hi everyone! Just wanted to ask if other actors in the sub have recommendations or insight. Lately, I’ve had a few casting directors ask me to send in multiple takes for the same role to show variety in how I would approach the character. I tend to have...

    Feedback after a recall

    Very silly question, but I had a recall for a BBC thing and was told at the end of my audition ' Great Job' from the director. For some reason this has made me so uncomfortable since the recall and I can't get it out of my mind (mostly because when he said it...

    YouTube recommended a self tape video to me today and it was someone’s tape for a role on Wednesday for Netflix. The top comment was telling the poster to take it down because they heard of casting directors blacklisting actors for posting auditions. In this...
