Spaniard looking for some advice by adriasanchezig • last post Aug 19th
Hello, I'm 26yo and I'm an actor from Barcelona, Spain. ​ Here in Barcelona there's almost no film industry (just catalan tv). I've just done two important auditions in the past 2 years (as a Mexican in Terminator and as a Mexican in Snatch Season 2), and I got those auditions by luck But these auditions are so rare here, and you have to go to Madrid if you want to have a chance, but in Madrid it would be for Spanish productions, usually. ​ The other option I have is to move to the UK, Do you think that would be useful? ​ I'm clear when speaking english, and I look like a spanish so that wouldn't be a problem, if I'm not wrong. I've been doing acting classes since I started pursuing acting back in 2017. And I've also done a microtheatre play (15 minutes play on a very small room) ​ Do you think moving to London would help to my career? ​ I'm also applying for the DV Lottery for the USA, but that's almost impossible ​ Thank you very much!
New to Los Angeles by Siara Padilla • last post Aug 18th
Hello! I recently moved from Boston to LA a few weeks ago. I was wondering if anyone has suggestions for on-camera acting classes and/or audition technique classes (that are also somewhat reasonably priced)? Also, please feel free to connect with me, as I would love to meet other creatives out here and even meet up for a coffee! I am currently in the Toluca Lake/Burbank area. Thank you all for any help or advice!

Out of the loop actor doesn't know what he's missing in LA. by thomyorkesadoptedson • last post Aug 18th
Other than submitting on Actor's Access/LA Casting/Backstage and going to class, what other things should I be doing everyday? What other resources are available to me, networking or otherwise? I feel like I'm missing out on so much. For example, at my first acting class here, a bunch of people said they signed up when they meet our teacher at the Actor's Expo. Actor's Expo? I had never even heard of this. Recently, a friend through Instagram advertised that they had to give up their spot in a Casting Director's workshop (the new modified ones where they can't actually leave with your resume lol), and I jumped on it. Apparently she's a member of this studio which holds these workshops all the time?! How had I never even heard of this?! Actors in the loop, what other resources am I totally missing out on that I should be taking advantage of? What should I

How Do Actors/Actresses Memorize Their Lines? by IntelligentCrew3 • last post Aug 18th
For any feature films and even television shows, do they have to memorize the whole script? Or do they memorize a particular scene a few weeks prior to shooting only to move on to the next?
Want to get a better mic, any recommendations? by TheSpillian • last post Aug 18th
I'm a beginning voice actor, and I'm trying to look for a good mic, as I've been using my headphone mic, and it certainly didn't have the best quality (had to add a lot of filters). I have a budget of roughly $200 USD. I'm not the best at knowing the differences and terminology of mics, so any help or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
How do you act and still pay rent in LA. by Nomad79 • last post Aug 18th
I’m at a crossroads. I’m have a base income and my SAG card. I work mostly background. I currently live in Austin and want to move to LA. But I don’t have the three times the income to get an apartment. I’m trying for Burbank. Anyway I just want to see how other actors and actresses are working in the industry and still being able to afford high rent.

Finding a creative community by baylor4 • last post Aug 17th
I've recently graduated drama school in the UK and moved back home to new york city. I'm finding it hard to meet people in the industry, whether that means actors, writers, directors, producers, dps. I have such a huge network back in the UK but now that I'm back here and living at home I feel isolated and I'm looking for people to connect to again. How do I begin to find that in such a large city?
Need tips on perfecting scare actor characters! by ThtBlackSheep • last post Aug 17th
So I landed my first job as a scare actor. I will be one of the actors interacting with guests between houses. They have three roles that I need to be able to showcase. It’s a pirate, a voodoo, and a hillbilly/redneck. We worked a little on it today and I was honestly disappointed in myself with how poorly I managed to show those three types. Any tips on how to get into those characters better and things to say/do? Or even what to avoid saying/or doing?
How is the scene in Atlanta? by giants1823 • last post Aug 17th
I’ve tried nyc and La and I can’t seem to make progress in either city, even people on my level think they are too good to work with me. I’m tired of being rejected by everybody. I’ve had a few people tell me to check out Atlanta. How is it down there? I’ve heard it’s mostly self tapes. Is it still possible to break through down there or is the playing field just as competitive as NYC & LA now? And if not Atlanta, where is a good place for an actor to move to these days where it’s easier to break through that isn’t wildly expensive?

Did me being a non union actor mess up my chances for this movie ? by pat_0_0 • last post Aug 17th
So, I have an agent but I am not a union actor. Back in April of 2018 I auditioned for “Good Boys” and I got to a table read with some of the cast, but unfortunately the character I was auditioning for was written off the script, leaving only 3 boys. My question is did me being a non union actor mess up my chances of being in the film? Should I ask my agent about all this? Thanks for the advice

How do I get into professionally acting? by WeebSauce • last post Aug 17th
I want to become an actor, I’ve had this idea that I wanted to in my head for years. I’ve been told I’m a great actor and I’ve been in multiple theatrical shows for my junior high and high school. How would I get into this marvelous world of acting? how do I find auditions?
A 15 Year Old Actor Looking For Advice by Angrybiscuit09 • last post Aug 17th
I'll try to keep this short, apologies for format issues I'm on mobile. I am 15 years old and I have decided that my dream in life is to be an actor so that I can bring joy to other people. Seems simple enough right? I've been working at it for about 9 months. My current situation is that I've auditioned for some plays at my school and got named roles in two of them, I got professional headshots, paid for 800casting and am on several other common audition websites. I sent a monologue I worked very hard on to a well reviewed agent who lives in Chesapeake, VA (I also live in Virginia, closer to Richmond). She accepted my audition and I'm currently "New Talent". All this hard work and money would be great accept I've had this setup for about 4 months and haven't even gotten an audition, although I've been told I've been submitted for several projects. What am I doing wrong? What am I missing? What can I improve on? Am I just overthinking it? Any help would be greatly appreciated as people on here seem to know what they're talking about. Thanks so much!
