Cannot get representation

I have been taking acting pretty seriously for the past few years and although I am still a teenager, despite taking classes, getting headshots etc I cannot seem to get any representation. I’ve reached out to around 20 managers in LA and many agents in...

Are these 2 scenes good enough to add to Actors Access?

Don’t want to waste funds on adding if not. Also, give editing suggestions since it’s tricky trying to fit it all in but still keep it cohesive and watchable lol YouTube link: https://youtu.be/mgAsnrD4PXs Thanks! :)

I'm an actor that suffers from depression and anxiety. I have tremors on top of that so even when I'm not nervous it appears as if I am with my shaky hands. Has anyone taken a beta blocker such as Propranolol before an audition or a shoot to help them calm...

Do actors need to be good at "dissociating," in order to play so many different types of people and yet not get overwhelmed emotionally?

Hi, I tried acting but unsuccessfully and I have wondered if part of it was I could not dissociate. Of course, dissociation, in the clinical sense, is a mental illness. I mean when you cannot control it and is caused by trauma (the so called multiple...

Actor’s Confidence

I’ve been pursuing acting for no long period of time I would say about 4 months and I’m aiming to give my 1000% percent. My teacher says I’m holding back when it comes to creativity and confidence and I feel this is due to the fact that I am quite the timid...

I've heard people say "this actor made it because they put in the work!" - or related things. To you personally, what's "the work?" I'll elaborate below.

What work do you do, consistently, daily, weekly, monthly, that makes you a better actor even when you aren't on set? How about when you haven't booked anything for months? Acting classes are the obvious answer, but I'm looking deeper. What's the work you do...

Do actors choose what genre they want auditions for?

Hopefully this isn't a stupid question but who makes the decisions on what kind of genres you get booked for in terms of Film & TV? I love Drama but I don't see myself being a good comedy actor, is this something I should tell my agent if I ever get one?

Van life and acting
