    Acting-life balance

    I recently started studying acting full time at Vancouver Film School and somewhat have struggled with striking a good balance between personal life and actor training. I am very happy being 100% immersed in the craft but I can see how it may be unhealthy in...

    Audition with no sides given, but needed to improv?

    I’m pretty decent with improv. I had classes and everything, and do improv shows. I was like, “ I can do this” I auditioned for a TV show, but they brought in 4 actors at a time, and they wanted us to improv some scenes. This girl did scenes with the others...

    My manager's reaction after I left him.

    Hello, I had a manager of a year that got me into one room (I know it's not a manager's job to get you into rooms but still.) He found me after I got 9 credits on a Netflix show as a recurring guest star and I feel like I lost a lot of momentum this past year...

    NYC or LA?

    Hey fellow Backstage peeps! I'll be finishing university soon (May 2020) and would like to buckle down on my acting career after graduation. I enjoy theatre, but really love (and prefer) film and TV. I've heard some people say that you should move to LA if...

    No idea what to do know, does that mean giving up?

    Hey! This is my first post on reddit and I'm really hoping that someone has advice for me. Even if the truth is going to be painful. I am an actress and I started with stage acting, when I was 12. I am 20 now. Growing up in Germany, I was signed up with two...

    LA film culture made me a little uncomfortable.

    I recently came back from a trip to LA with my friend Melissa who is an actress. She is in SAG so she is professional, but nothing really famous. My experience of LA film culture really opened my eyes to such a bleak and intense world. For example, I had no...

    Acting course gives me anxiety

    Throwaway because this is very personal. I am an 18-year old actor not based in the US although it is my goal to go there in a couple of years. I recently decided to go for the dream I have had for 10 years and try to become an actor. Through contacts I was...

    True Crime Reenactment?

    I am a relatively new actor, non-union with only a few credits. I have an agent. Should I take a speaking role on a true crime Reenactment show? It's a long drive for not much money, and I'd lose money on by missing work. I'm ok with these things if it's a...

    How do you think actors are able to become famous?

    Now I know there’s a lot of actors who were born into the industry (had famous parents) or started off as child actors, but it seems for the majority of relevant actors today, they were neither born into the industry nor were they child actors. For a lot of...
