    I’m not an actor nor am I planning to pursue a career in acting. I’m just going to New York this winter for networking and fun. While I’m there I want to play a “character”. Be someone other than myself just for fun. How would I get started learning about...

    Pay to play in NYC?

    Does anyone have any experience with places like one on one or actors connection? I hate the concept of pay to play but I’d be willing to do it if people have actually found success this way. But it seems to me unless you already have some decent credits it’s...

    So I've been doing acting for the past three years - took my first on-camera class in 2016 and since that class was more focused on camera technique, I told myself I wanted to learn how to act before I start to audition seriously and therefore enrolled in my...

    I have no experience or training in voice acting, I don't get comments on how great my voice is, and I'm literally just a teenager. That said, I think that voice acting is a career that I would love every aspect of. I can practice and all that, but something...

    When to follow up with representation?

    This past Wednesday I had a stellar “audition” aka pay to play meet with a manager. Performance went smooth, which they enjoyed but the conversation following is really what me feel we’re a perfect match. We spoke about everything under the sun acting...
