Genuinely at a loss for how to move forward.

Yes, it is the same story as everyone else’s. I’m from a small town that’s an hour away from any cities. Even the bigger ones have little to no market outside of local commercials (which are EXTREMELY competitive- no agent, no audition). There are five...

why are you an actor?

I’m curious because my fuel for acting is something that’s changed so dramatically since starting college, graduating 2 yrs ago and then again during covid lockdown. What’s beyond “I just love it :)” like why though? Or “I love storytelling”, again why? I’ve...

Can I voice act under a different name?

I'm interested in getting into voice acting, but my birth name is just so plain sounding. I know that other actors have stage names and writers have pen names. Is there anything like that for voice actors? If so, how could I be paid under it instead of my...

Are social media accounts used by actors affecting how an audience views their acting range?

I remember trying to see a film with Toby Maguire in it after the Spider-Man trilogy and it felt like I couldn’t let go of the fact that that’s Spider-Man and not the character Maguire was playing. For some reason I feel like the same phenomenon is happening...

Please can someone offer some advice or an opinion? My acting anxiety is so bad that it's hindered my ability to act to the best of my ability. I feel so lost, confused and hopeless and don't know whether or not to move on.

So in a nutshell I have a decent boutique/mid-level agent but I'm not getting self tape requests/auditions for scripted TV/film. Each day it gets to 6pm when the offices close, I check my emails and there's nothing. It makes me feel so low and like I have no...

I made a controversial decisions but I think it’s the best choice: said no to great agent and signed with more simple agent

A director made the most wildly unprofessional comment about my performance in front of the entire crew
