Hello everyone! I've been debating with the idea of leaving my hometown for a bigger city to increase my chances of being cast in a film or television. I've been challenged with the idea between moving to LA right away and sink or swim or head to ATL for a...

Following Up With An Agent by schmactinghomie11  •  last post Nov 23rd

I met with an agent from a huge bicoastal agency and sang for her at a pay-for-play. She liked what I did we had a great conversation and she asked me to send her hard mail of my headshot and a letter since she does not use email. I wrote...

Baritones by TylerMckenzie98  •  last post Nov 15th

I am currently an 18 year old actor in college, and I am starting to become incredibly bitter, as I am a baritone. It seems as the years move on, more and more teenage roles, (which is what I can play, looks wise) are the high tenors, and the baritones...

Writing & Acting Offers? by Dayna Burnworth  •  last post Nov 13th

Hello fam,

  I have a question that may seem odd or maybe I’m just feeling so brand-new. I’m a writer/author and I have not done any acting jobs. I do public speaking quite a bit and have a pretty solid side career from those gigs. 
   Today marks the seventh or eighth time a producer has been interested in is if my scripts, but insists on me acting in it. I don’t write vehicles for myself, I don’t have headshots, and I am not generally interested in acting. (Yes, I probably would depending on the situation but it is not my goal.)
   I always get a weird feeling when I’m offered to act like it’s a joke, not real or something said to butter me up. Nothing really gets moving in each of these scenarios and the projects end up in development hell. 
   Is this common? Is this one of those situations where that’s what they think writers want to hear? 
   I appreciate your thoughts!

Nerdist School by Gladstone  •  last post Nov 9th

My agent recommended looking into taking improv at the Nerdist studio; apparently they're one of the newer but also well regarded improv schools? Has anyone taken any classes from them, improv or otherwise? I have already taken classes at Second City and Groundlings in the past.

Creating Content by ChampagneGoggles  •  last post Nov 7th

Who out there creates their own content (whether it be between jobs or just for fun/something to do on your own)? Do your personal projects help fulfill you creatively? Do they take up a lot of time? What kind of steps do you take, and what kind of hurdles do...

Is it easy to moving into film Acting from Theater? by Chelsea J  •  last post Nov 1st

I guess the reason I'm asking this question is because in Barbados,  it's not easy to get theater gigs and  I truly love acting.  The thrill of getting to be a totally different person from your rather boring life excites me a bit.  It's like bring a one dimensional character to life.
