    Hi guys! I'm a 16 year old girl and I've always wanted to be an actress. I am currently doing a drama A level and am thinking about going to a drama school after, but I'm not too sure if I want to. Doing the drama A level has made me realised how much I...

    Tripping over lines, and it happens every time…

    Hi y’all! I recently noticed that at least once I trip over my lines during the show. I miss pronounce words, or skip some curtain important words so I say the line again. This past week I was performing a play, and I literally tripped over my line at least...

    How does recording work for live zoom sessions?

    When a client wants to do a live session over zoom/skype/discord/etc how does the audio usually get captured? I'm guessing the client doesn't record it on their end because the sound quality can't always be trusted, right? Does the actor just hit record on...

    Theater Experience

    I love tv/film/commercial acting but I’ve been told by a couple people (not agencies but people who have acting experience) that I need to do theater. The thing is I have zero interest in theater and I feel like if I auditioned to be in a theater production...

    Tiktok acting

    Hello everyone! I’ve been dreaming of being an actress my whole life. I have some experience (mostly as an extra) and was even rep by a new agency a short while ago, but COVID happened and all the non-unions were cut off from the agency. It’s hard as you...

    Advocate for yourself. Always.

    Just leaving a non-union commercial set that was, perhaps, the most unprofessional set I’ve ever been on. Granted, the client is a HUGE brand, so it was extra shocking. A group of us were cast as Principal actors (which usually guarantees usage $$). In the...

    My fellow actors, I got a question.

    # Do CD's still want a printed headshot and resume ? This morning, my printer has finally given up on me (died, not worth fixing) and I am not sure if I should purchase another one. I only kept the printer around for family photos, and the "just in case" a CD...

    Director crossing boundaries

    So I'm in this unpaid amature theatre play Wait Until Dark and production week is in 2 weeks. We've been rehearsing for about 6 months and during that time a lot of drama has ensued mainly from the director being crazy. I auditioned for the role of Susy but...

    What are some of the best tutorials/courses that can help me to improve the way my voice sounds, and reduce my accent? Can you take a look at the video I've made and let me know if there's anything obvious I could do to speak better?

    Hi! I'm not a professional voice actor, but I want to start professionally making video tutorials and courses. I don't think my voice is very pleasant to listen to, and I do have an accent, and I'd like to do the best I can to improve. I don't need to get...
