Auditioning for female roles as a non-feminine woman. Anyone else relate?

I just finished an audition and I’m feeling really disheartened. I’m a young girl who usually sticks to comedy. Stand up, improv, you name it. Not to toot my own horn but I’m really good at those things too. I’m well known in my area. I occasionally go out of...

I currently live in a place where there isn't much work for actors - I'm starting to plan out the next steps in my life, and I've become really interested in moving to Chicago (mainly because the cost of living is so much lower there than LA or NYC). What is...

I want to be an actor, but I have minor appearance issues, among other things.

Hi, I'm in my 30s and I kind of want to become an actor, but I feel like my appearance would hinder me. I'm kind of fat, for one thing. I know we've got body positivity and stuff going on in the media, but I'm still self-conscious about it. I've tried to lose...

Thoughts on Skillshare/ Masterclass VO courses?

I've gotten a handful of paid gigs over the years hobbying around, but I'm plunging head-first into it this summer. I'm a big believer in the "forever student" mindset, so I'd love a regular lesson schedule to keep skill sharp. Unfortunately, I'm priced out...

Is it rude to suggest a director's last second change might not be a good idea?

How do you make notes form watching other people acting ? For eg: let's say you're watching Streetcar Named Desire, how and what will be your notes about Marlon brando, which can/will help you in your own performance ?

I am really new, I don't know how actors watch others actors and what do they generally see or make notes of ?
