    How to get your first co star credit?

    How do you make the jump from student films to tv? I have a reel and would like to stop going out for student films. In my experience student films are generally a waste of my time and the ones that aren't are at the competitive level of anything else (NYU...

    Acting without kissing??

    My boyfriend of 6 years firmly believes that you can be a successful actor without doing any kissing scenes. I told him that not only would it limit the amount of roles I would get, but it would also cause my agents to possibly drop me. So, who’s right?...

    Is an ispot.tv actor's subscription worth it?

    I was lucky enough to book a national commercial that is now airing and when I track it on spot.tv, I see it's up to 400+ National airings. However, this includes national cable buys and, in fact, all the "last aired on" citations have been on cable...

    What make up to use for actor head shots?

    All my head shots look terrible, I realize I need to start wearing make up because I am not young anymore, I'm older so I look unattractive now so I might look pretty with make up. I may not have needed it before but I am not 24 anymore or 17. After doing...

    When did it all change?

    I watched one of Wendy's Alane Wright's videos and she said how back in the days anyone could just become an actor. All you had to do was go to a talent agency and you would sign a contract and they out you to business and train you, now they don't do that...

    People can't type you based on your looks alone

    Sure there are certain types better suited to people who look a certain way, but your type is dependent on how you act and who you are as a person. Somebody might look like a leading man, but be a total zany character actor. Ask the people who KNOW YOU about...

    My First Pilot Season (& No Auditions Yet)

    Hello, I am an ATL-based actor and I signed with my first agency (not one of the top 4 here, but solid, SAG-franchised, and with a good reputation) a couple weeks before the holiday season. I am a bit more anxious than the average person I admit, but I'm a...

    So I am watching Wendy Alane Wright videos

    She says lot of things and my acting teacher who is also an actor says the opposite of what she says. My teacher acts like you come to his class and you can go get head shots if you want, go out and do auditions, go to Cast Iron Studios when they do open...
