Where would David Mamet want you to train?

I just finished reading True and False by David Mamet which I highly recommend. He talks a lot about how he thinks most actor training is a waste. How we work on exercises/techniques which don’t really impact our work, and we’d be better off just simply being...

How do child actors do school?

I’m assuming that child actors need a parent with them most of the time, especially if they’re on set in locations far from home. Obviously they wouldn’t be able to go to school if they’re away. Does this mean they’re taught on set? (Assuming they aren’t home...

As a beginning actor, what sort of auditions should I be looking for?

Hello, and thanks for taking the time to read my post. So lately I've been really itching to act, as the last time I did was in high school, and only stopped because I hated my teacher. I'm planning on getting some training (by the way, would a 3-day...

Need advice asap. Approach director/producers?

I'm currently serving some directors and producers in the restaurant I'm working at. They're talking about a film they're putting together. Would it be unprofessional if I were to mention I'm an actor? Would they just be annoyed? Thanks in advance
