Why theatres not paying actors?

waiting for picture up

I got into screen acting a couple of years ago and something I have noticed is the overwhelming “show up and wait” aspect of acting. A recent project of mine had me showing up 3+ hours early to a shoot - they were not working with any other actors as it was...

How many pictures should you have up on Actors Access?

Studio group in Long Beach SCAM

I attended the courses with the studio group and I’m here to say everything is a scam. They lure you in to the office making you think that you are going to audition for a real commercial but it’s the same commercial they have been using for YEARS! Then after...

Opinions on mullets

Queer/non-binary actor here considering a short mullet to switch up my look. I have an “edgy/alternative” look but can clean up for roles with a pretty standard male presenting haircut. Think the mullet will limit my bookings or should I go full tilt for...

Question about "local hire"

I'm starting to get the sense this is a bit controversial. I've recently started looking at breakdowns to get started in acting. At first, I assumed "local hire" meant precisely that. So if a project in Atlanta specified "local hire", they weren't considering...
