How do you deal with burnout and dissatisfaction?

Hello, Long story short- I've been wanting to be an actor forever. I ignored my need for it and stopped my life from 10-35 until I let myself find a place to really study it for a few years. Finally found a place, basically worked. Still denied some...

How did YOU go about seeking a VA/VO coach?

Hello! My name is Claire, and I am looking to start getting into voice acting. I know it isn't enough on its own, but people tell me a lot that I have a good voice. It is the one quality about me I take pride in. On top of this, I've always been on the...

Switching between male and female voice?

Hey, I was thinking about this for a while and thought this was probably the best place to post this question. I'm not really a voice actor, I sometimes to voiceovers for fun, but that's mostly it. I've recently found a band with a (male) singer who can...

THE FOUR AGREEMENTS AS APPLIED TO ACTING

One of my favorite self help books I read years ago (and I keep going back to) is “The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom” by Don Miguel Ruiz. The book offers very down to earth advice that is said to be based on ancient Toltec wisdom. It...

Meisner For ADHD

Hello! I finally built up the courage and enrolled in my first acting class in October last year - so far I'm loving it, but as someone with ADHD I'm finding it very difficult to properly 'listen' without looking like I'm distracted (i.e., I believe I'm truly...

Hi! I'm a little frustrated/confused and looking for some insight. I'm in my second acting class and paired with an incredible, working actor. They're helping me a tremendous deal in our scene practice. The thing is, they keep telling me to take out my...

Just finished my first acting class, it was amazing!

Does Nationality effect?

What is your least favorite thing to hear when you come to (camera) acting class?

It’s the first day of class, and I love to keep everyone motivated and positive, and be honest about the commitment required to be successful in class and as an actor. So what caused you to go from skeptical to on the edge of your seat?

Would it be worth going to drama school after I graduate from my current university? If I get into drama school I'll be graduating in my late 20s. I'm scared of starting acting so late, but then I want drama school training so much.

I’m at a university that has nothing to do with acting. I realised my wish to become an actor too late after I had gotten in. I’ve acted several times in a drama society, and during a couple of English drama classes and it was so exhilarating. I have around a...

Hello Everyone. I have always wondered this, since you never see an actor cough, sneeze, burp, or yawn during a live production, yet these are all noisy bodily functions that can happen anywhere at anytime. Thank You.

What is a book that has helped you as an actor that isn't about acting?
