Fellow Background Actors: what do you say during on-camera conversations?

I know, classically, people say "peas and carrots" but I've never seen anyone actually do that. Usually I describe some generic problem and act like the other actor is asking follow-up questions or suggesting solutions (since I can never tell what they're...

Is taking out loans for a drama school a poor financial decision?

Looking to talk to and learn from DMV actors, or actors who started in the DMV area. I've been seriously acting for about 5 years, but always have the desire to learn more from others!
