For someone with no experience/education in acting, what can I look out for in films which are good/bad acting methods?

While watching movies, how can I tell what is good/bad acting? Once I know whats good or not, how can I learn about it to become a better actor? Is there a good resource to be able to learn the basics of acting, so I could pick out these things, and learn to...

What type of class should an actor start out with?

The only classes given nearby are on-screen/audition technique classes which I feel unprepared for. I learn valuable information with these classes regarding casting and the technical side, but I still feel unprepared if I were to go and audition and actually...

I feel like I'm wasting my time.

So, to keep it short, I'm 17 and going to take classes next year. Until then I've visited many workshops but as you appreciate, due to economic reasons and school it's impossible to do that all time. But this is bothering me, I feel like I'm wasting my time...

Any actors here have full on high-stake careers/specialties outside the fine arts? (Doctors, engineers, lawyers, etc.) How do you do it?

I was that kid in school that liked every subject - Biology, English, Chemistry, Drama, History - you name it, it was my favourite. In college now and I've narrowed it down to science or law but I love theatre. Like, a lot. I've managed to snag a backstage...

Anyone else ever feel that post film/play longing?

What I’m trying to describe is that after you finish a gig you have this longing, you don’t know when you’ll see your cast members again, and all the time you spent with them is likely to come to zero. Performance is coming up soon for our play at my college...

Male Rapier Duel

My natural self is anxious and animated.

I recently re-watched the famous Michael Cain video and now it's got me stiff as a block of wood and half as interesting. To be clear, I'm not blaming the program. I just feel that I am naturally animated when I talk. In life this has been called charming and...

For comp cards

Hey actors, does anyone have a preferred site for making their comp cards? I'm just searching the sites that came up on Google and the first page of options are all pretty terrible. Does anyone have a diamond in the rough or a lesser known site they use?

Just saw a short film I was in and I was terrible in it. I'm baffled. I felt good during filming.

I felt great during filming, I felt like I got the character, I felt confident. I was eager to get the footage back to use on a reel but to my horror I was awful. Most of my interactions had been cut or they cut away as I was talking. And what little remained...

Can everyone be an actor and is it easy?

A lot of people say that everyone can be an actor, I never believed that but maybe it's just me. I've also read on the internet that it's really hard to get a job as an actor and make a living with it, is that true?
