Place for industry people to critique your website?

Hi all! I’m an actor based in NY who spends way too much time on his website. I was wondering if anyone knows a place or site or service where a CD or manager or agent can give you feedback. Any and all leads encouraged! Thanks! -rr

If you're an LA/NY native this doesn't apply to you. This topic is directed towards those who packed their bags and moved from out of state. For those of you who made the big move to two of the biggest markets for actors, do you enjoy living there? Does the...

I've been watching this on a loop. It's just a masterclass in how to act with face twitches and voice control. It's worth a look.

Auditioning with no experience - does it help you or hinder you more?

I can imagine that it gives you a lot of great experience and makes you less nervous about auditioning in general, but if you're terrible, won't casting directors remember and not call you in?

A place to get answers.

I have posted this on a couple of comments threads already but might as well share it to everyone. There is a Facebook group called talent managers for actors. It has dozens of managers, casting directors and agents who want to be accessible for actors. It...

Agent I met today was such an asshole that I want to just tell him I'm not interested in representation. Bad idea?

There's this myth that they supposedly work for us, not the other way around. So can I just preemptively tell him (politely and tactfully) that no fucking way would I ever want to work with him? Or do I have to be politically savvy and wait to be humiliated...

So I'm reading "Fine on Acting" (Howard Fine) and pretty early on he says serious actors need to be 'literate'.

I can make a list of excuses but I just haven't read that much in my life of 44 years.. maybe a dozen books, so I want to commit to that advice. I remember an acting coach once said to me that reading "To Kill A Mockingbird" is one of the most important...

KNOW WHAT YOU’VE GOT TO SELL!

Today I was giving a character actor some advice, and I thought there might be some others here that could benefit from it. As actors you are both the salesman and the product. Many of you are going door to door, asking people to buy, and you don’t even know...

Had my first audition, didn’t go as expected...

Small local theatre. Nerves got the best of me. I didn’t do as well as I could’ve. Got some lines mixed up... Afterwards they told me to do over some lines but in a southern accent. I did the best I could. I’m not going to kick myself in the butt for it, it’s...

(x-post from /r/changemyview) In a situation like this, isn't the casting director/director to blame and not the actor?
