How do you know if you even have the “potential” and talent to become an actor, especially when you have no experience?

Sorry for the confusing title. Long post with a bit of rambling! I apologize. This is a question that I can’t help but keep picking at and crapping all over my confidence and swaying my thoughts. I have zero acting experience. The only acting experience I...

How important is your reader?

Scream Queens on VH1 ( Acting Reality Competition Show)

I wanted to recommend this show to anyone who hasn't seen it. It's an acting based reality show that takes place out here in Hollywood. It's an older VH1 show from 2008-2010, but its held up fairly well. It focuses on aspiring actresses who want a shot to be...

Can voice actor coaching through an online environment really work?

It seems to me that a coach should hear the student deliver lines in person and without risk of a poor quality internet connection. How coaching in any environment other than in person doesn’t appear to be worth it. Thoughts?

Anyone else really really like Jesse Eisenberg? He is such a great actor and I fan him a lot. I fan him.

He is just too much. I came from my 6th rewatch of the Night Moves 2013 and he blew my panties away again. He is just awesome! Good actor, charming... but doesn't try too hard. Just a solid human actor. I like him. However unlike let's say Jake Gyllenhaal...

I've often heard it said that micromamaging your portrayal this way results in an inauthentic, thusly bad performance; that great actors inhabit their roles to the point that their "delivery" isn't preconceived or self-conscious, but totally instinctual and...
