    Hey! New actor here. What's the order that you guys typically do for a self tape? Does the slate usually go before the scenes, or after? And do you guys include a title card only in the beginning, or in both the beginning and end?

    Foot in the door or bad choice?

    I am a young actor who still hasn't gotten a foot in the door. I have no questions of ability as I have worked with top tier actors and more than held my own. I have an opportunity on a film but the film is something I would not necessarily take pride in. It...

    Trying to update my actors access page

    but it appears to have no option to update anything. The edit resume tool is useless. If I try to fill it out it does not even save what I type. I can't believe people pay $ to use such a shitty website. It's been almost a year since I used it but I don't...

    How much crap is the “norm” in this industry?

    Hello! How much crap is the “norm” that actors have to deal with, especially new actors? I’ve heard this industry is hard, but is there a line drawn somewhere....? I’ve been trying to grin and bear with the treatment from my unpaid project (roughly 6 month...
