Which Scene Study Classes would you recommend? by EffectivePineapple  •  last post Mar 28th

Hi! I’m a young adult age range actor that’s taken multiple foundations/on-camera/intermediate acting classes and am looking for a scene study classes that’s high quality with a pretty small class size. Which do you have experience with and would you recommend? Some places I’ve been looking into: - Berg studios - Baron Brown - BGB Studios - American Conservatory Theater (Does anyone have experience training here?) Thank you :)

Where do you get cast as a background actor? by ADeathCalledSusan  •  last post Mar 28th

There are six feature films planning to shoot in my state this summer, and I'm interested in auditioning to be in the background of those films, but don't know how to start. Is there a website or something you would recommend? Or do they post on [Indeed.com](https://Indeed.com) or something? Thank you!

How do actors write letters to celebrities? by lovetempests  •  last post Mar 28th

I’m not talking about fanmail but more like, how Carey Mulligan sent Julian Fellows letters when she was 18 to ask for him to help her start her career and guide her. Or other cases where actors say they sent emails/letters to celebrities or other established industry folks who could help them. First of all, how the heck do you get them to reply? I can’t imagine most celebrities being interested in replying. Secondly, do these people get the celebrity’s private email/actual address to write a letter to? Or send Instagram DMs? Or through their agents? It’s something that’s always baffled me as I’d be too anxious to message Phoebe Waller Bridge and ask her to mentor me or even give me advice.

Do entry level / independent agents exist? by Spydertek242  •  last post Mar 28th

Besides acting I am also a low / no budget filmmaker on the side. I can post a breakdown on some boards advertising for a student DP, Editor, Composer etc looking to build their reels and resumes. Is their an Agent equivalent? Someone to scan breakdowns and submit resumes, clips, and headshots to suitable role breakdowns and setup auditions on behalf of an actor? I know they couldn’t negotiate the contract on behalf but are there entry people who help with the legwork for a fee / percentage and experience?

Looking for any actors (or anyone interested) in participating in a short series project I am working on for fun. by mauriciofcost  •  last post Mar 28th

Hello everyone! My name is Mauricio, and it is my first time here (I love how supportive and empathetic most of the people here seem to be of each other). I am making and acting in one episode of a short series I am writing on my own for fun, and I am looking for a couple people who might be interested in joining. Voice recordings (and video recordings - if any) will be totally remote. This will be for fun, and I intend to share it on the Internet when it is ready. I would be happy to talk more to anyone interested! \- Mauricio.

Acne Scars by BMCA2001  •  last post Mar 28th

I have some acne scars and it makes me very self conscious as an actor. I wish they showed more actors on television and movies that didn’t have perfect skin!

ISO voice actor who can do a clown voice by colesimp  •  last post Mar 28th

I am looking to cast a voice actor for a project I’m working on. The part is a birthday clown, so it’s a more goofy, upbeat type role, not like a scary clown or anything. It’s a very easy part, only 4 lines, and of course I am willing to pay for your services. Please contact me either here or email me: cole.simp32@gmail.com if interested

Are any other actors camera shy? by BMCA2001  •  last post Mar 28th

I don’t mean like filming something because I’m perfectly fine doing that, but taking pictures like with photographers makes me so nervous. Is this normal among actors or just me. Probably just me!

Video Reels by naseemthedays  •  last post Mar 28th

Good day everyone. 19M here. I'm an aspiring actor and an artist, and I wanted to ask about video reels. I've heard that you're supposed to put previous work in your video reel, like participation in student projects. I've applied to be part of many student projects, but after receiving the scripts, I've always been frightened to participate in something that, more often than not, ends up being hella cringey. I don't know the long-term effects it might have on my career. Btw, I'm Lebanese and currently in Lebanon. Beirut (the only modern city and cultural center in Lebanon) got blown up in a port accident recently and now everybody is scared to live or produce there, not to mention rebuild it. I'm a very creative person, and I was wondering if companies, producers, and casting directors would be satisfied with videos I've made on my own? That goes to production as well as storytelling. I have a few ideas, but any badass storylines or idea recommendations would be highly appreciated. I love fantasy fiction and sci-fi shit. From your personal experiences, what exactly goes into a video reel? Please describe what kind of artist you are, and the atmosphere of the people you've worked with who've accepted your video reel. Thanks in advance and best of luck always, everyone!

Toronto acting classes question by cool_jheez123  •  last post Mar 28th

Hey i’m looking into acting classes in toronto such as ones at LB studies, EVN studios, pro actors lab and armstrong acting academy. I was wondering if any had experience with these especially since it all went virtual, like what’s the lay out of the classes, learning wise, participation wise, how scenes work, critique etc ? thanks

Are acting conservatories worth it in building your resume and acting career? by Pale_Ad2736  •  last post Mar 27th

So I auditioned for the New England Theatre Conference (NETC, similar to SETC, Strawhat, and other cattle call auditions). This past year was the second time I auditioned for NETC and both years, most of my callbacks have consisted of conservatories and summer acting programs. This year, I got a callbacks from Stella Adler and Commonwealth Shakespeare Company for month-long summer acting programs. Have any of you taken part in either of these programs, and if so was the experience worth it? If not, what acting conservatories have you been a part? All in all, is it worth it to pay money to be in a program and will it advance your career as an actor?

Ghost from Modern Warfare (Jeff Leach) by darththottie  •  last post Mar 27th

Hey guys, first time posting here so I’m not clear whether or not this is the place for it. I was just hoping some of you would have some advice. I play a lot of Modern Warfare and really want to be able to do the Ghost voice from the new actor (Jeff Leach). I’ve heard that it’s good to start with an accent and lower your voice for the desired gravelly effect but I really could use some advice. Anything helps, thank you guys!

Verified on Social Media by SabReale12  •  last post Mar 27th

I think as many of you may know, I’m located in South America and got a LA based attorney to work on my work visa. She’s worked with people we all know here in my country, so I trust her with my life. I’m not going to say his name, but one of her clients plays a main cowboy robot on a huge HBO show you all know. I still need a manager for that though, which is something that I’ll need to get on my own (you’ve prob noticed how crazy that is driving me too) and through networking in small events and making LA based friends while I travel to take acting classes for a couple months. And by the way, I’m thinking Lee Strasberg in Fall 2021 if things are back to “normal”. And yeah, that’s really necessary because here we don’t have managers, only agents and literally only two agencies have connections abroad, but they only represent a very exclusive list of A list actors that have been around since before I was born. Anyway, I’ve been following my attorney’s advice on things that would be important to get done and got a publicist here which is just great because since my latest work on TV, I’ve got interviews and articles written about me, and most recently they helped me get verified on Instagram. That being said, I wonder if that’s gonna help at all with self submissions to managers! Because although people in the LA industry aren’t watching our productions, which I assume that makes it hard for agents/managers to say how big some foreign actor is, at least they’re seeing that’s someone not only booking but also in the public eye in their country. And I believe that plays a huge role on all this, right?! So that’s my question. What do you guys think? Do you think that helps me at all? I’ve been using IMDBpro a lot these past few months and made a list of managers that have foreign actors now based in LA on their roster. For example, actor Chris Mason on PLL:Perfectionists and Riverdale. He had a few credits in the UK and is now repped by 3 Arts Entertainment in LA. Obviously I don’t know whether his situation was an industry referral or his agent had connections at this management office, but you know, that’s what I’ve been doing... searching for foreign actors in every legit manager’s list. Actors that definitely weren’t huge celebrities in their home country, but booked in big TV productions and had some media buzz. Personally, I do find the social media presence stuff silly, but I think there’s definitely an importance to it right now, especially for 20-somethings like me. Last week for example, I did a shooting with a very popular photographer here. He posted the photos on his IG and this very famous actress that has worked with him a lot of times commented and followed me that same day. Considering that I didn’t have an IG account until a little before the pandemic hit, I do think that’s kind of cool.
