If the only way to get an agent is through having professional credits or them spotting you at a class or showcase, but you can only afford college for acting due to financial aid, then shouldn’t you pursue college?

I always hear people say to “go to acting class” and that “you don’t have to have a college degree in acting to be successful”. But what is the alternative if you can’t afford to attend acting classes? William Esper, Stella Adler, Groundlings, American...

The Undoing (of casual viewing)

I finished The Undoing and thought it was amazing like I'm sure many of y'all believe, but I've heard a growing sentiment of not enjoying the ending. I thought the acting elevated the story (even if you could see it coming from a mile away), but I feel I'm...

When you book acting jobs or you’re in the running for a role so you have to take time off work, does your job allow you to take, say, a week off or do you resign jobs over and over?

I’d like to hear how you personally, as an actor while working a survival job, do this? Like, the only kind of job I can think of that would allow you to leave work for a week, a month, or several months would be that of an acting/dance/musical theatre...

Juilliard Drama Audition Tips!

I auditioned for Juilliard’s drama program recently, and I know quite a few actors from the school who’ve graduated in the past one to five years, all of whom are now signed with the Big Four (CAA, ICM, UTA, and WMA) and have successful acting careers. Here...

Why would an actor choose to leave a top-tier agency, like Paradigm, CESD, or APA, to go to the Big Four (CAA, WME, UTA, and ICM)?

Like, obviously I know it’s a good career move. But why exactly? Wouldn’t the former agencies get the same breakdowns/auditions for their clients as the Big Four?

Do big movies post their roles or is it just invites to major actors/actresses?

I’m asking because I’m curious how it works. Obviously they don’t post on like Backstage or AA (or if they do, I’ve never seen it). Is there somewhere else they post it? For example, Disney announced today that they will be making a Fantastic Four movie. Do...

How is the acting industry in Spain like these days?

So I live in Latin America and since my grandparents were Spanish, I’ve been thinking about moving. I’d like to know how the industry is for foreign actors, if there’s more work in Madrid or Barcelona, if there are many agencies in Spain, if there’s been a...

I’ve been told I won’t get jobs or signed because I’m white.

Okay, so I understand that white privileged is a thing. As a white person, I recognize that I have had certain opportunities and advantages because of my whiteness. However, I have been told by several actors, coaches, mentors and agents that I will not be...

Marymount Manhattan College vs. Pace University?

Which is more selective? And which is better in your opinion for a BFA in MT? I’m looking to attend college in (or very close/commutable to) NYC. I was rejected from Juilliard. I got a callback for the BA in Theatre Performance at Fordham, which is in the...

On-camera scheduling uncertainty—how vague/changeable are principal actors’ call times?

I do background work, and all I know ahead of time is what day the project I’m submitting for will shoot. It’s not until the night before (and it’s getting increasingly later in the day) that I find out what time. Last night I found out my call time for today...

Monologues from TV & Film?
