SAG actors - anybody working right now? I haven't had an audition, let alone a job, since March.

This is starting to get rough, and I'm trying to figure out how to navigate everything going forward. Prior to quarantine I was at 2-3 auditions/week for episodic TV. If something doesn't happen soon I feel like I'm gonna have to move back home until we have...

Tomorrow, I have a casting/test session to become a voice actor for a small video game dubbing studio.

And it's an exercice I've tried sometimes, I know how to work with a lip-sync track and I trust myself to not drop the ball... But still, I'm a bit nervous. I've mostly acted on stage or for amateur or semi-professional short-movies so this is a brand new...

Newbie question: do you get a schedule of which scenes are shooting on each day? Then actors, memorize their lines depending on which scene they shoot

I’ve noticed that scripts could be up to 100 pages so I always wondered how actors memorize their lines

I want to get back into acting but I have questions about changes in the industry

I grew up acting and have done a few things of note. But when I was a teenager, I left the industry to finish my education at a regular public school. I lost my momentum and have missed it ever since. I want to start auditioning again but I have so many...

To all the regulars here, prepare for newbies to start referencing this tweet/tiktok that freaking Bob Iger actually responded to.

https://twitter.com/pattonoswalt/status/1278915322561454080 Description: Dude makes a tiktok (albeit a very well put together one, but nothing to do with acting) and says "Please retweet this enough so that Disney calls" and Bob Iger actually tweeted at the...

At the beginning of the year, I was on the fence on whether or not to undergo stunt training. I read one of these subreddits that they (producers) will prefer to have the stunt double do the stunt, for fear if the actor gets hurt, production shuts down and...

Why are acting methods necessary?

Please forgive my ignorance. This question is being asked by someone who’s only taken beginning acting classes, and hasn’t been exposed to methods/techniques like Stanislavsky, meisner, etc. I don’t understand why they are necessary. I’ve gone into auditions...

Acting through narration/storytelling

I think the most unfortunate effect of the prevalence of CGI is films have become so focused on visuals they neglect to develop the skills of their actors to captivate the audience just by speaking. I’m not talking just monologue, though one of the first...
