    When I was younger I did some commercials, but then my mother wanted me to focus on school- so I had to quit. Then, when I was 14, I had a minor role in a independent student film. (the student ended up abononing ​the project but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ) I am turning 18...

    Acting Class: Investment or Waste of Money?

    I have a dream of being one of the next great actors of a generation, but where do I start? Get cast in short films and work up from there? Acting class? Backstage? I wanna take the leap, but just need a direction to jump into. Thanks in advance!

    So I just got done with a showcase that had some really amazing guest including top agencies. The show went great and I have been told by everyone that I did great (and I know that i feel like I did do my job). It's only been a couple days, but a few people...

    Creating a Show

    So, I’m a 16 (soon to be 18) year old female. I know what I want to do, and it’s acting. I live in Boise, Idaho and I’m finding it difficult to find a reputable agency or any experiences for my age range. I always thought if I can’t find an opportunity, then...

    [RANT] I'm sick of being asked for a "selfie"

    I spent hundreds of dollars for pictures, from head shots to full length and in between. It seems as if everything I submit for wants a selfie and not my professional pictures. Ok, I get you want to see what I look like NOW, but here's my beef: If you want a...

    First time working on set

    I put together a playlist on what to expect the first time you're booked as a principal actor on a TV show or film. I figure you know how to play the scene, but you might not know what to expect from the work experience. Hopefully this will help. Enjoy!...

    How important is high energy for actors?

    I'm asking this because I've noticed that among the more popular, mainstream actors (Jennifer Lawrence, Tom Holland, Gal Gadot), many are usually very energetic and happy-go-lucky. Meanwhile I can only think of a couple actors which could be considered low...

    Why does it take so long to get paid for film jobs?

    So this is just a sort of general question, but I had a fellow actor reach out to me asking me if I had gotten paid for a project we recently worked on (which I hadn't) but it brought a question to my mind? Why does it always seem to take so long to get paid...

    Where to go from here.

    Hello actors! I have been doing a lot of thinking lately and would love your opinion. Basically something happened in my life that pulled me away from the acting world. It was hard for me to keep up but I tried the best I could. I kept my agent who would send...
