some casting people are getting straight up disrespectful..

getting 5 scenes to do 9+ pages with a ONE DAY deadline to do it all is absolutely ridiculous. Whatever COVID led to has meant casting throwing as much material as they can against a wall knowing full well they aren't watching more than a scene or two at most...

where should I move to?

I'm an actor living in the north of the UK. I know that there's so much work down south, in and around the London area. However, so many people I know in the industry are making the move to Canada because of how much is now filmed over there. Would I be...

Network Approval? (What does it mean)

Hey guys I recently was told that I was being forwarded to the network approval stage of a production but I’m not really sure what Network Approval entails, or what that means for me. It’s for a titular role in a show so I imagine more steps will have to...

Auditioning for female roles as a non-feminine woman. Anyone else relate?

I just finished an audition and I’m feeling really disheartened. I’m a young girl who usually sticks to comedy. Stand up, improv, you name it. Not to toot my own horn but I’m really good at those things too. I’m well known in my area. I occasionally go out of...

Any actors here who live in Chicago?

I currently live in a place where there isn't much work for actors - I'm starting to plan out the next steps in my life, and I've become really interested in moving to Chicago (mainly because the cost of living is so much lower there than LA or NYC). What is...

Falling out of love with acting... or not feeling the magic anymore. How do you re-ignite your passion?

it's just been a way more depressing journey than i ever could have imagined. just so much sacrifice, for so little in return. the more time i put into this, the more unfairness I experienced and observe. people putting decades in for breadcrumbs vs lucky...

I want to be an actor, but I have minor appearance issues, among other things.

Hi, I'm in my 30s and I kind of want to become an actor, but I feel like my appearance would hinder me. I'm kind of fat, for one thing. I know we've got body positivity and stuff going on in the media, but I'm still self-conscious about it. I've tried to lose...

Thoughts on Skillshare/ Masterclass VO courses?

I've gotten a handful of paid gigs over the years hobbying around, but I'm plunging head-first into it this summer. I'm a big believer in the "forever student" mindset, so I'd love a regular lesson schedule to keep skill sharp. Unfortunately, I'm priced out...

Is it rude to suggest a director's last second change might not be a good idea?

The second night of a show I was just in, one of the directors decided to change how my final quick-change went, making it much more complicated. The night before, she had kept telling me to make it faster, so I did. So when she changed it, I told her I...

How do you make notes form watching other people acting ? For eg: let's say you're watching Streetcar Named Desire, how and what will be your notes about Marlon brando, which can/will help you in your own performance ?

I am really new, I don't know how actors watch others actors and what do they generally see or make notes of ?

Hello everyone, I’m 17(f) and I am wondering if I’m too poor to ever start acting. My mom is jobless (I don’t have a father figure to help with income either) and we barely have even 10,000 dollars saved. I can’t get a car because of it. I’m going to Nassau...
