Looking for an LA classroom to film at by theloverofmovies  •  last post Jul 31st

Hey all you very talented actors! I’m looking for a classroom to film at in Los Angeles area, and I would really appreciate if either you know a school that would let me shoot there for about 2-3 hours or if you know any good websites to RENT one. I would appreciate ALL help I can get, thank you so much everybody!!! Sending so much positivity. Also you can self submit to my project on backstage, it’s called The Power of Kindness. Some roles have been filled but we’ll consider you for future films.

How can I see what I’ve submitted to on Casting Networks? by KitchenAlgae  •  last post Jul 31st

I’ve submitted to a bunch of stuff, but I’d like to see what I have and haven’t submitted to so I don’t do something stupid like double submit. I don’t want to give a CD any more work to do or give myself a bad rep by doing it. Is there a part of the site like Actors Access that shows my submission history?

Opinions on Different​ Techniques by puppylover1184  •  last post Jul 31st

I've taken a variety of different acting classes, but have never studied a well known technique (Meisner, Adler, etc.) I've heard a lot of negative things from actors who have studied those techniques. They say the techniques aren't applicable to 99% of what an actor does. Are there any actors who have either worked on major motion pictures or television that can give their stance on these acting techniques?

Hey Reddit community, I'm an actor working outside of LA in Austin, TX. I chose to join the union because I believe in the cause!

Atlanta, LA or Louisiana for SAG background worker? Please read. by Nomad79  •  last post Jul 30th

Hello fellow actors and ancestresses. I'm super torn on my acting future. I am retired veteran and I love working background for extra income. I used to live in California, where I got my SAG card. That was many moons ago. 2006. I have worked some stuff in Louisiana. But now I want to get serious with it. I currently live in Austin and have to move in a couple of days. MY pension covers my basic needs. LA, muoy expensive, I know nothing about Atlanta. Is it hot right now still, and where in Atlanta should i look at moving too. Thank you SSSSSoooooo much, I am so conflicted.

Student films by felicia0wang  •  last post Jul 30th

Where are places to find student films that I can audition for? I tried some sites like actors access and back stage, but I couldn’t really find any near me. Would I be able to contact universities directly, or does it have to be through sites where auditions are posted?

NYC actors- how did you find representation? by halloween_boi  •  last post Jul 30th

I'm struggling to figure out ways to actually be seen by agents and managers other than workshops and classes which are burning a hole in my wallet. Has anyone self submitted to an agency and it ended up working out?

Post Show Malaise by InfiniteIsness  •  last post Jul 30th

I just finished a run of Hamlet as Gertrude and am feeling the sadness of ending a show hardcore. This show was really special. It was one of those shows where I really connected with my cast mates and we created something really great. What sticks out for me is the closet scene with Hamlet and my brief interaction with Laertes when I explain Ophelia's death. Both of those actors were just so giving in their performances. There was no bravado or "diva" like qualities. They opened themselves up and made themselves completely vulnerable and in turn, so did I. Getting to where I needed to be emotionally was completely effortless. And in the oddly masochistic way that we actors love, I would make my exit, weeping, but floating on air knowing what we had just done was amazing. You know what I mean? I'm now balls deep in rehearsals for my next show, "Noises Off" which is a complete 180 from the emotional intensity of Hamlet. It's really fun but the farcical elements are more of a physical challenge rather than emotional. I'm enjoying it a lot and starting to bond with the cast but man... I mourn a little bit after each show I do, but this is definitely a tougher one for me.

To all the bi actors out there by Kyoko_IMW  •  last post Jul 30th

Is acting in London as bad as Tokyo? by doodlebug_uk  •  last post Jul 30th

Hello guys, thanks for clicking! I'm currently working as a foreign (i'm a white guy) actor/model in Tokyo. I am obviously in a strange position here but as i haven't had much experience before I left the UK I am curious what its like working back home. I'm just going to touch this tip of the iceberg with this but basically, the industry here is a total mess. The way things are run here are extremely inefficient and exploitative, communication is poor and generally agencies will take upwards from 40 to 50% of the pay for each job. The city is full a sketchy production companies and talent agencies scratching out a living by undercutting each-other. I am not tied to one agent (tho i know some models who are have similar problems) and as a result I am involved with various poorly run, sometimes shady agencies. The result of this is I have to work my ass off to get anything done, half of the time negotiating rates and usage terms because the agency can just sit back and take half of whatever comes their way. I have done national and global commercials for peanuts and I keep hearing about how in London or LA a single commercial can set you up for a year. Is this true? What i would like to know is; is this a general representation of the industry or is this just a localized thing in Japan. I know many Japanese companies in other industries operate the same way. I am planning on moving to London to give this acting thing a proper shot, but i'm not sure i want to spend the rest of my life negotiating with crooks over pennies. Obviously i wont have the novelty of being foreign anymore, but i assume the jobs available are much more exciting and possibly more lucrative, im happy to work hard, but i cant be working on my performance while having to watch my back half the time. let me know your opinions please! thank you!

I’m young. And a competitive dancer. With a packed day to night schedule I decided I want to try and do acting. by dead-betayal  •  last post Jul 30th

Salut, Omg ok wow. I do a lot of things. Art,dance,music, you get the point. Recently I’ve been getting hella inspired by movies and shows. I’ve been digging deep into the actors and taking note of how they work certain expressions without coming across as trying hard. Only problem is I’m very young. Like middle school young. Since I’m doing dance and school plus art it’s a lot expense wise (part of why I’m trying to start a go fund me because we are 10000 dollars in dance debt and I might have to quit which I don’t want) I really really want to do acting. But because I’m in the gifted program (meaning I wake up at 6:00 a.m and have to travel 45 minutes to get to my school for zero bell and drive 45 minutes home and get home at 5:15 almost exactly just to go straight to dance and get home from dance at 1000 pm and have to shower eat and do schoolwork. Yes I’m sleep deprived) and it makes things even harder. I get free days on tuesdays, Sunday’s and sometimes Friday. Sometimes I’m dancing all week, sometimes I get just a day off. It sucks but with melatonin and five hour energy I get on with life. Is there any way that I could 1. Improve my acting abilities from home in my free time without paying money 2. Get gigs without having to leave my house. And 3. Make sure that I look decent. I really really really want to act. My school doesn’t do plays. I just really want to do it. My parents won’t take me seriously due to the money we lack but I really really want to do this

Any non-union voice actors from Toronto on this sub? by torontovoiceover  •  last post Jul 30th

This is a burner account because... Reddit haha. I work for an agency and am looking to possibly expand our non-union roster. Diversity, in any capacity, would be an asset. Whether that be POC, LGBTQ+ or someone able to speak other languages. Québécois French would be a big plus but frankly any other language is an asset. Open to any type of voice for really any category but most interested in commercial VO at the moment. Willing to speak to anyone though! Just seeing who's lurking in this group! Thanks.
