What's the best compliment on set you love to get as an actor?

I don't know about you guys, but I LOVE when a director tells me go smaller. I go as big as possible and let the director adjust. Been working on a film for a few days (actually on set right now) and have a director tell me go smaller is the best. It's so...

More Work For Non-Union Performers

I'm an apprentice UBCP/ACTRA member and honestly that credit kind of just fell in my lap as an upgrade on set from background to actor. Until recently I haven't pursued acting, and now on top of that I have started focusing more on voice acting work. I'm...

Not sure which agent to sign with!

Hey everyone, Last month I submitted to countless agents and scored three meetings. All three agents offered me across the board representation. I'm extremely grateful but unsure of which one to sign with. Agent #1 - 600 on IMDbPro, SAG-franchised & 2 actors...

What do you do when a CD sends you self-tape instructions for the wrong role?

A few times now, I’ve been sent self-tape instructions for what is clearly the wrong character in a film via Actors Access (e.g. today, I was called back for the role of an artsy 14 year old girl but the instructions/sides for the role of her abusive father...

To my biracial actors, how do you feel about auditions for "full" minority race characters.

I'm half Caucasion and half Korean, and I very much look like it. In a room full of white people, I definitely look not white, but in a room full of Koreans/Asians, I look white af. My agents and manager get me a lot of auditions for roles that are obviously...

Are multiple takes standard (without having to ask)?

I've hired five voice actors from Fiverr. The first three all read each line 2 to 4 times. It was not written in their advertisements that they would do this (nor did I request it), but I was very grateful for it. However, the last two only did one take. The...

Creating Your Own Footage?

I’ve booked several commercials but only three costars and zero film. The funny thing is, it’s a catch 22: you need a reel to be seen for theatrical and you need theatrical credits for a reel. I’ve heard of actors writing and filming their own materials, but...

Losing a Job due to Covid, anyone else?

So the title says it all. I got booked for a project and it was background role and NU, but the payment would have covered my rent and most of my basic expenses for the month. I tested positive for Covid (fully vaxxed and boosted) a week and a half before the...

Wasn't paid residuals for a SAG-AFTRA project which ran for a month. Now what? Is there a late fee?

Basically booked a radio spot, got the session fee, then - nothing. Look sometimes these things don't run. But months later I had this feeling in my gut that it ran. I don't know how to describe it other than that. It was just an intuition. I used personal...
