Is a Casting Network subscription worth the price?

Hello fellow Reddit actors! I'm currently acting in a market outside of the Big 3 and was wondering if the costly CN subscription price is worth it or if I'd be practically the same sticking with AA. Thanks for your insights :)

How does an actor at a top drama school get A List agents immediately representing them?

Upon graduation, that is. I just finished watching "Normal People" and "Aftersun" with the rising star BAFTA-winning Irish actor, Paul Mescal, and noticed that he had bagged top representation coming out of drama school. As someone who is studying acting at a...

Actors, how do you prefer being directed?

Do you prefer: 1. When the director tells you the emotions the character should be feeling, i.e. "make it sadder," "be more energetic," or "give me lust" 2. When the director shuts up and leaves you alone to make your own choices 3. When the director takes an...

Looking for another Voice Actor for my Minecraft Mod!

Hey! I posted here a few weeks ago, and I am so glad for everyone who offered! I'm looking for another voice actor now! It'd be a bit of a 'whisper in the bushes' sound, preferably feminine, and I'll be wanting 10 sounds. Each sound will be like- 1-2 words so...

Do you think actors should be paid to audition? What other changes would you like to see when it comes to auditioning?

Apparently in the original SAG contracts when it was very first established there was a stipulation about actors being compensated for auditions but obviously this has never come to fruition. Also in the past when we would audition more in person we would at...

Do casting directors remember bad self tapes?

A couple years ago, I sent a really bad self tape to a huge casting director. I mean so bad that I’m pretty sure when editing it and uploading it, I forgot to cut out an irrelevant convo at the end with my reader (though might be possible they never watched...
