Can a SAG-AFTRA actor choose to work for free? by SunLandingWasFaked  •  last post Aug 30th

I want to employ a SAG actor on my LOW budget feature film. Looking through all of the SAG-AFTRA paperwork it looks like a massive headache and extra expenses that not even the actor himself wants to burden the production with. Is there a way a union actor can choose to work for free?

Is Actors Access Still Down for everyone else? by flueflom  •  last post Aug 29th

Acting classes in NYC after graduation? by AlphaMan69Poppers  •  last post Aug 29th

Hi there, I have a question about which acting classes people usually take after they graduate from acting conservatory. I graduated from an acting school three years ago, and since then, I have been cast continuously in small back bocks theater plays and low budget short films and web series. A year ago, I wanted to brush up some techniques, so I took online acting class of traditional acting technique (Meisner, Hagen, etc.) class for beginner at a famous acting studio in NYC (the reason I took “beginner” class is that I’ve never taught those classic acting techniques at the school because I majored in musical theater.) What they taught in the world blind class was really good. Most of the exercise we did were new to me, and I learned a lot there. HOWEVER, I was super disappointed by the others students attitude. Of course I was the oldest one in the class (I’m late 20s and the others were early 20s and younger). Few of them missed class several times without telling the instructor or scene partner, some were doing other stuff while not in the scene, not eager to rehearse out side on the class, and one person ghosted the final performance. I was completely shocked by the range of energy each student gave, and I felt like I was wasting my money, even though I learned a lot from the instructor and some good students. Now. I’m thinking, I want to take some in-person On-Camera acting classes in NYC, but I don’t want to make the same mistakes that I made. Here’s the question: do you know any acting school or studio where I can take classes without enrolling a year-long course, and where I can learn with serious adults actors? I’m thinking HB Studio’s on-camera classes and Lee Strasberg Institute’s intensives. Anyone know how these are? Any tips will help. Thanks!

Does every actor have an acting coach? by AlphaMan69Poppers  •  last post Aug 29th

Hi y’all! I just got this simple question. Do you need an acting coach? I wonder all those actors in film and tv continuously work with their acting coach. Do they hire them every time they get a part in a big project? How about third actors who landed small roles in tv? So they hire acting coaches just to say fee lines? I want to know what kind of actors get acting coaches at when? If anyone knows, let me know! Thanks!

to change the name or not to change the name by lapedit  •  last post Aug 29th

that is the question. I've been acting in NYC for about 4 years now and am looking to potentially change my name. Why should I do this? there is already an actor with a similar name who is miles ahead of me career wise. I'd like to differentiate but I also know that my name as is, is fantastic. Also-my last name speaks to an ethnicity that I don't exactly look like. I don't look like an indian person but I am indian. If anybody has thoughts I would love to hear them. I asked my manager about this but .... lets just say barely any advice is better than no advice at all.

Career advice by Iceycat1234  •  last post Aug 29th

Not sure how to form this question, but I’ll try to do my best. I’m a film actor and I know to even have a chance at acting professionally in film one needs to venture to LA. The question I have is how do you know if you’re ready? Is there a detriment to moving out with mild experience? I have a decent resume of just short films and such in the Dallas area and of course training. But I just wonder, am I missing progressing my career if I wait to move to LA? Take Chris Evan’s for example he moved out to Los Angeles after he graduated and it worked well. I’m 19 and I don’t know if I should wait, to gain more experience, or just move when covid hopefully dissipates. Any thoughts or advice would be great. For those of you who did make the move did you internally know it was the right time?

How to get more roles (and leads)? by Money-Night7537  •  last post Aug 29th

Hi, I’m a new actor and was wondering what the best strategy to get more roles might be. I have gotten maybe 3-4 extra roles since starting a couple months ago, but I want to move up. I recently got callbacks for my first 2 leads and was wondering what I can do actually get those. I have auditioned maybe 3-4 times ever but didn’t get any of those roles so far. What could it be that’s causing me to not get cast?

How to pull off an emotionally intensive scene? by kyonkikyahaina  •  last post Aug 29th

Auditioning Actor - New Term by Actor123321  •  last post Aug 28th

You know, there is a "working" actor and a "non-working" actor. What about the actor who is in the in-between. I feel like we should normalize the consistent SAG-AFTRA full budget production auditioning actor as "auditioning actor". That way people outside the acting world don't have to feel so awkward when they ask, "So what are you working on, right now?" "I am an auditioning actor." :-)

HELP: The Tedious Task of Picking Self Tape Takes by musicalslimetutorial  •  last post Aug 28th

I'm a perfectionist. And as a perfectionist, you can imagine how frustrating it is to be an actor with so many factors left to chance. But I love it so I do it anyway lol. Since the pandemic, I've noticed, as I'm sure all of you have too, a huge spike in self-tape auditions. I love in-person auditions since I can get in, do my thing, and bathe in the comfort that every actor only got one chance and what's done is done. With almost three self-tape auditions a week, I'm kind of drowning. I do way too many takes. Then have to suffer deciding which one/s to send. I was wondering if you all have any tips on how to select a take and any psychological support you tell yourself when struggling to select one.

Do I need a naturally-distinctive voice? by DMoxyMoron  •  last post Aug 28th

I don't have a naturally 'distinctive' voice, a la James Earl Jones, Richard Kind, Will Arnett, or even the VOs from the Headspace app. Now, I know the former are celebrities so that's a different ball game, but what I mean is mine isn't (naturally) particularly deep, goofy, flinty, or soothing to have ever warranted "you'd be a good voice over actor" remarks from anyone. What has warranted those remarks, though, is my natural ability to DO voices that sound like the above, accents, and the like. I've enjoyed this since a kid and it's one or those things i feel I need to explore or I'll be upset at myself - so VO is just a hobby I want to pursue, but generally speaking, if I ever wanted to "make it" is that a hindrance? I've read the stickies and googled this but haven't seen much so thanks for any advice you can offer!

I got an audition with a HUGE anime dubbing studio, WHERE DO I START?! by Hs4Ever  •  last post Aug 28th

Hello everyone! I've been a voice actor for over a year now, and my resume has just 2 original animations and 3 indie games. The rest is video game mods and fan projects. I've only just dipped my toes into the professional side of the voice-over business, but today I somehow got a callback from one of the biggest production studios in the world to dub an anime movie! I have very little experience with dubbing, and I have NO experience with auditioning for a studio of this caliber, so what should I look out for this time around? What should I change about my audition and the way my email is structured? I usually don't slate, so do I slate this time around? I would really appreciate your advice, because this is a HUGE opportunity for me, and I'd like to nail it!
