Which Drama School in UK is the best? by elyselia • last post Sep 13th
Hi everyone! I'm planning to study acting in a drama school in UK. I'm very interested in cinematographic acting, but I noticed many actors I like have been studying theatre. I haven't much experience and I would love to attend the best courses I can (if I can..
I believe I will be successful by iovoko • last post Sep 13th
I don’t know if anyone else has felt this way, or if it’s just some grandiose fantasy. I understand the odds of truly being successful as an actor. Trust me, I’m aware. But no matter how much I doubt myself, I come out of it feeling better. I have this gut feeling that it will work out. I *know* I’ll be successful. I will put in the work, I will try everything, and in the end I believe it’ll pay off. Has anyone else felt like this? Any words of wisdom?
What are your favourite monologues? And why? by n0xielle • last post Sep 13th
Being an actor was my childhood/teenage dream but then realised it's not for me. I still enjoy reading and memorizing monologues though. I'm curious what are your favourite monologues, if you don't mind sharing. Thanks! :)
Actors/Actresses with agents, how often does your agent send you out for big or worthwhile auditions? by YourMumsAVirgin69 • last post Sep 13th
Trying to update my actors access page by NimbusCloud1 • last post Sep 13th
but it appears to have no option to update anything. The edit resume tool is useless. If I try to fill it out it does not even save what I type. I can't believe people pay $ to use such a shitty website. It's been almost a year since I used it but I don't recall it being this stupid or how I got around it.
I’m not a beginner actor but I don’t have connections to agents by mraladdinsirwat • last post Sep 13th
Hi, I am a good actor! I know that sounds cocky but I got my bfa at a good place and I.... I just understand the level I’m at. I’m not the greatest but I can hold my own with the big boys. I want to find an agent but nobody seems to be wanting to see me! What can I do?

why do you love acting? by kay_citrine • last post Sep 13th
specifically asking **why you love the craft** (the work, the process... insert more cliche phrases we use to describe what we do). I'm having a super rough lapse with my mental health, and my passion for acting is suffering right now. that's what's hurting me most at the moment, I think. I could use a little inspiration, or a reminder of why this thing we do is so magical & valuable. thanks for any replies - I really love this community. helping other actors on this sub has actually helped me a lot as well, so I appreciate you folks very much. hope you're all having a great day, breaking legs & making your dreams come true!
Los Angeles Actor/VO to Seattle? by rosencranzand • last post Sep 13th
Hi Seattle theatre/film/vo folk. I'm an actor and "VO Artist" (do we love that term?) who has been at it here in Los Angeles for almost 10 years. I've never been super compatible with LA but I do love the industry opportunities and it does have my heart. However, with all this time that we've all had to process, amongst the virus and the burning and the oh my god oh my god, I have with my partner begun to consider if I wanted to start a new chapter somewhere else. I've always liked seattle when I visited, and since my partner does have tech-industry experience it is appealing. My question is on the acting side of course. My work has primarily been as a VO artist, which luckily I've been able to do from home post-pandemic, but I also love the brief times I've been in front of the camera, and in the past, on stage. I have some notable TV Film, and Video Game Credits but pretty much all on the co-star/guest star level. I'm also in my late 30s so, yeah, for reference. What would you foresee for someone like me who lands in Seattle? What are the paths and the avenues people take and how hard is it to make a living? I know the San Francisco market a little and know that it was very very hard for actors there to actually make a living, but that was especially because it was so expensive. Thanks for your thoughts!
Does an applicants fame/following impact their chances of acceptance into a drama school? by stupidactress • last post Sep 13th
Hey! Random question... Do people who have a high amount of followers or are already famous singers/actors/etc have a better chance at getting into certain drama schools? If two people had the same experience and skill level, but one had a large social media following, would they be more likely to get in?
Thoughts on Taron Egerton? by iovoko • last post Sep 13th
He’s a relatively popular actor from Wales, but most people don’t know his name. Played Elton John in Rocketman and starred as Eggsy in the Kingsman franchise, among other things. I think he’s an incredible actor, as well as an amazing singer, and I’m surprised he isn’t more famous. I’m curious to know what everyone else thinks of him?
Write own monologue for reel, or use existing footage for submission to agencies by mark55 • last post Sep 13th
I'm an actor who transitioned from stage to film about four years ago. I've landed a good amount of gigs, had small parts in some Lifetime originals, a featured extra in a few SAG films filmed locally here in Western New York - as well as a ton of indie stuff. My problem is, I have some very good bits of footage - but I don't think I have anything to display the skills I've picked up through training these last few years. I am looking to submit to local casting directors and try to find an agent. ​ Would it be a good idea to write a monologue and film it (with professional equipment) in order to submit to casting directors and agents, or should I stick with my cobbled together 30 second bits of footage?
Has anyone gotten an agent off of talent link with ACtors Access? by mraladdinsirwat • last post Sep 13th

Latino Actors and misrepresentation by ZodDestroyerOfWorlds • last post Sep 13th
Hey everyone I'm a 1/2 white 1/2 Mexican individual who looks super racially/ethnically ambiguous and am in college, I plan to move to either LA or NYC after graduating (I've got time) but am concerned about Latino representation in the industry. Latinos make up barely 3-4% of both I front and behind camera positions in filmed productions (not sure about the stage but it's still not much) and I'm kind of concerned that when I do move that I will be misrepresented and stereotyped for roles. I'm aware that types are an important part of roles that I could potentially be cast in but still I feel like I will be at a disadvantage against white actors. I'm confused and frustrated and concerned for my future career simply based off of the color of my skin and where I come from. I don't know what to think but all I know is that I've got to go and do what I need to do. I have to learn and grow a lot more as an actor before I leave college but am asking for advice.
Skeptical of 'Actors Academy' on Youtube by umheyimchris • last post Sep 13th
There's this guy named Actors Academy on youtube is he legit? I can't find his name to see if he's played in anything but gives lots of acting advice like he's a pro should I be listening to this guy? https://preview.redd.it/blr66c8xwtm51.jpg?width=246&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a0cdf66a9afbae5504490accf86c76eda4494d6
I'm looking to add a voice over option to using my existing Fiverr and would appreciate any advice you have. by Voyager87 • last post Sep 13th
I've just come into possession of a Blue Ice Snowball microphone and have a pleasant sounding neutral British accent and am looking to offer voice overs/narration through Fiverr and am wondering what to include in the sample recording and any advice you have for recording good voice over work from my living room. I was thinking I'd record a few sample advertising, instructional and technical scripts and and a recording of a a more dramatic piece like a sample of Lord Of The Rings or War of the Words. Ill be recording using Audacity and am relatively inexperienced with voice editing but have done a decent amount of video editing. Here's 2 samples I just recorded its rough and I am aware I fluffed a word or two and that the intonation and flow could do with some work. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vaGajL8izU3mZKT7OHx6vCZEeQoDq9L5/view?usp=drivesdk https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SheSg3-jIOtd7O_XId1heiAOK1SQNR9W/view?usp=drivesdk Edit: I feel like I should clarify that I'm not exactly looking to be a professional voice actor but due to covid I'm currently out of work hence why I'm using Fiverr to pay my bills, whilst in the future I'd be more than interested in turning pro as it were for now my focus is to do a good enough job and paying my bills.

Need advice by ILLILLILL11 • last post Sep 12th
Listen, I’m only a teenager so I’m not worrying too much but still id like to get a jumpstart on things. I’ve known that I want to be an actor for sometime now. I really just don’t know where to start. I live in the 25th worst county in the world and don’t really know how to crawl out of here. There’s nothing to really help me get a jumpstart on acting. I really just need some help I don’t know what to do, I’m desperate.

What's the best characteristic in an actor? by elyselia • last post Sep 12th
Hi everyone! If you have to chose one thing an actor MUST have to be a great actor, what would you chose? Why? And how do you get it (is it natural talent, is it experience, is it great training...?) Let's hear your opinion!
