2 Qs: Would you consider acting "intellectually stimulating?" Is acting "emotionally draining?"

My only experience is being a main character (4 total) in a play at uni and, for whatever reason, perhaps acute awareness of my incompetence, i found it boring. Never felt like i was IN the role; just felt like a performing monkey. (Only time i "connected"...

How can I politely tell my boss I have to pick the audition over work?

I live in Los Angeles. My manager has usually been pretty flexible with my auditions, but no one was able to take my shift and my manager needs help during this particular shift. If it was a lower budget project I wouldn’t have a problem asking for a time...

i want to be done with acting. i truly hate this "journey". but i'm obsessed. how can I once and for all release myself from this?

i've rationalized my entire existence as "put on this planet to be an actor". now that i've been doing this for a few years and see how truly awful it is, that it is a LOTTERY FOR RICH PEOPLE that really has nothing to do with talent, i just want to be done...

Want to start

I’m an attorney with a passion for acting. I realize it’s quite logical for someone in my position to be interested in acting (eg influencing a jury is acting mostly), but I think performing as a character or someone other than myself is really my calling...

My Rant...Tongue and Cheek.?.

In the not so distant future, I think we as actors could see the old studio contract (or a version of it) come back into existence.. An actor is paid by insert platform, "Netflix" annually with health benefits and pension and agreed to do so many projects...

ACTING - LESSON #2

Hello! This is Winnie Hiller. I’m a Hollywood acting coach, working on writing a book for actors who need to learn the basics. Agents and managers often send me young actors (many with no previous training) to coach just before their auditions for film and tv...

Neat except from unaired interview

I was really excited to share an interview with an actor that I felt shared tons of neat insights. The actor really turned negative and despite my best effort I had to basically say, I might be a nothing to you, but I'm not a doormat. (let's leave it at...

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

Why Do You Like LA/NY?

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?

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...
