Practicing too much makes me worse as an actor. Any tips?

I finally understand why I am not working as much as I want as an actor! I practice so much that I lose my authenticity and spontaneity and it makes me sound fake. That explains every obstacle and every success in my acting career. My best performances on...

Remote Zoom Meeting Reaction Actors

Hello! I posted this in r/WorkOnline and realized this sub might be a better option. I produce promo videos for virtual presentations and I'm casting for short reaction videos of real Zoom attendees working from home. While stock footage sites are great, and...

Do producers mention "we need an average looking person" when doing castings?

This is out of pure curiosity. In all tv shows and movies i've seen, and sorry to say it this way but that's just how i feel it is, i see ugly actors in the role of ugly characters. Sometimes it's even more specific (not necessarly realistic...), say you have...

I'm reading a book on the history of acting and it's very eye-opening

*The Art of the Actor* by Jean Benedetti, whom you may recognize as the author who did the new translations of Stanislavski's work that people recommend over the ones most of us have read. Anyway, it has dispelled some misconceptions I've had about acting...

Share your voice training experiences?

I’m finally taking the leap and have invested in professional voice training and boy is it kicking my ass. My voice coach is a bit of a hard ass and I had no idea how hard it would be to meet professional expectations. Is this normal for other voice actors?...

Would you feel comfortable shooting at a residential apartment if no one lived there?

I could really use feedback from actors on this. I'm thinking about renting a small apartment for when I need to shoot in LA. I would NOT be living there. It would be set up as a studio only. There would be no furniture or personal items in it. Just lights...

Do famous actors really not take classes?

I noticed that it's rare for famous actors to talk about their training, if they had any. I feel like a lot of them do take classes/have coaching but don't reveal that publicly. I think if more actors revealed that it would make acting seem less magical, and...

A shout out to all actors

Admittedly, I'm a bit of a lurker here. I'm a documentary producer/director who is making the move to scripted work. Let me tip my hat to each and everyone I've seen post here. Reading your posts has proven to be inspirational. I thought my job was hard, but...

One Black actor and ten White actors is not diversity.

Sorry for ranting, but I'm getting tired of casting directors acting like one Black person makes their cast diverse. I've seen like two listings that include MENASA and two that include Native Americans, in 10 PAGES of listings. If a character's race isn't...

What technique do you use?

I'm a pretty new actor and I'm about to take my first technique class, in Chubbuck. Has anyone tried different techniques and found they didn't vibe with any of them? Or if you did choose one, why do you prefer it to others?

Frustration with Latina casting types

For the most part, it seems like there are two types that I see in completed productions and in casting calls. It’s either the IG music video baddie type Latina, or an older and hardened cop. Just gotta get that off my chest lol please feel free to share your...

Age in acting/ Appearance on Shows / Do you have to play older always?

I was on a show that was really dark and darkly lit. It made me look a lot older than I am. I am a WOC and when I saw people in real life they said I look a lot younger in real life. In the same year I was in a short that made me look much younger (late...

Hi there are people younger than me that do voices different from their own, is this a genetic thing or maybe they did it since they were younger? Any ideas
