What’s with the way actors eat on screen?

Are you taught to put a piece of food in your mouth and not chew it and talk with it sat there? Watching Tomb Raider, she bites an apple, let’s it rest on her tongue and speaks. Big Lebowski he straight up talks with liquid in his mouth - these are not...

Something that motivated me!

I was listening to a voice actor, who was saying that he does 300-600 auditions a year and if you book 2% of those you're crushin' it. This made me feel a lot less pressure! Is this common knowledge...?

Best Advice?

What is the best piece of advice anyone has ever given you about yourself as an actor or acting in general that has always stuck with you? I’m very big on positive self talk, so words can be quite inspirational to me if it hits a note inside me.

Getting in shape. :(

So I got my first 'break' and I'm on a show (not a huge part at all but I am so happy) and I am looking around and even though we are shooting in NYC everyone is from LA and in like, bangingly hot shape. Damn. Not an ounce of fat. They are full-time series...

Why is LA Casting so expensive to upload headshots!

One of the worst thing about being an actor is LA Casting. It's ridiculous how they charge $25 to upload 1 headshot to their website! This shouldn't ever be the case for actors. It should be included in the self submission rate. Sorry, just wanted to rant...

Do you think untrained successful actors know about script analysis, objectives, beats, etc.?

I was wondering if actors who’ve never taken lessons like Jennifer Lawrence know about all the stuff that actors who have taken lessons know? Or are some actors like her talented enough to get away with not knowing stuff like this?
