I have my first audition in a few days and I have literally 0 experience acting

I live in LA, I impulsively sent my photo to an open call thing my friend reposted from a legitimate casting director (“applying does not ensure that you will be confirmed for an audition” it said) anyway, an hour later I was confirmed for an audition. The...

Pros to Non-union Theatrical?

For commercial, there are clear benefits to being non-union. It seems more and more ads are finding what they need, and for cheaper, from the pool of non-union actors. What about theatrical, though? I can't really think of any benefit to being non-union...

How do actors have time to do so many projects in a year?

I’ve always wondered how these highly successful actors have enough time to do all of their work in a single year. Like, you have actors who act as series regulars on a tv series ranging from like 13-22 episodes & then still do like 2-4 movies all in that...

Is it worth paying for Castingabout.com especially if I am not in L.A? And uptodateactor.com?

I've heard actors recommend it but they were all in L.A. Are projects posted on there in smaller markets too or at least NY and ATL? [uptodateactor.com](https://uptodateactor.com) is a new one for me and looking at the website I'm not even sure what they...

Actors who book with no experience

So I have always heard that actors need to book co star or guest star role before they are even considered by casting for a series regular role. Recently I saw a girl who I had never heard of book one of the leads on a new HBO max show and she has never been...

Are there any actors who have worked or interned at talent agencies or casting agencies? If so how was your experience?

Toronto actors! Has anyone ever been with Hero Artists or Creative Drive?

What type of actor am I?

I need the expert psychologists on this one. If I am a person who uses comedy to give meaning and indulges in self-depreciation, what sort of fields would I best be suited for and enjoy? Maybe stand-up?
