Hi everyone! As some of you may know, I recently started a theatre podcast that is primarily geared towards teen and young adult actors. This week we covered what is know in the community as the “Original Broadway Cast Did It This Way” syndrome. This is the idea that all subsequent productions of a show should be almos…

when the idea sparked in my head to become an actor, I can't even remember what motivated me..I always loved TV, movies, the overall entertainment world. I was a big fan of Kevin Smith and his films. As I got older, I loved ranchy comedians: Superbad, Harold and Kumar, Knocked Up, Pineapple Express. I was a big Judd Ap…

I feel like it's run by a lady with grey hair and glasses? I think the concept was that it's not *only* acting but more of an "industry mastermind group"? So it wasn't just actors, but also videographers and maybe even like... Production assistants? It may be called something "Tribe" or something short and snappy name?…

Or is it all choreography? Like I notice some actors who hold a woman’s face a certain way in multiple movies/tv shows. Is they bringing their own to the scenes?

Hello, actors from Reddit I am a director in the making of a short film right now and some times i Just dont know what the actors are expecting from me.

Hello! Does anyone have experience with the Actor’s Edge Studio? I wasn’t able to find many reviews online, but I’m currently watching a free 9-hr course from him, and saw that his classes are $195 a month over a three month period. His classes are a bit cheaper than my current classes at the Margie Haber Studio, so I…

Naturally, I’m going to focus and practice both because I love doing both but it takes approximately 10,000 hours to become an expert at something and to do so quickly would take hours of practice every day (it would be kinda hard to do hours of practice of both and manage school.) So here’s where I’m at: writing is de…

A while back when I started acting as a hobby, there would be some people that didnt think I was good enough. They wouldnt say it to me though, I would overhear it on set. I’ve had training but had to stop for a while due to work and the cost. I remember hearing “yeah, he can’t act”. Or this one that stuck close “he’s…

Any fellow Australians know where to find casting calls for student films/small indie films or any work that would accept an actor with minimal/no experience and has done some classes? (Other than Starnow and Facebook groups?)

To start, I am not an actor and do not have the skills or looks to become one, but I am a big movie fan and have always wondered what sort of salaries(just general really rough estimates) people make for certain roles. Its easy to find out how much stars and co stars of big block buster movies makes. But how much do th…

This might be a dumb question but since most film schools have some form of a final year showcase component, or since students just like to film things for their portfolios - how do they often recruit actors? I’ve seen some on backstage etc but certainly not a lot. I live near several universities and I’m interested in…

I joined a scene study acting class about 4 months ago. I’ve put up a few monologues, and several scenes with other actors. I am still brand new to the acting world. But, I am wondering how soon should a beginner actor get headshots and begin submitting for auditions? Should I wait until I have more practice/time with…

I'm curious how other actors deal with this, since this is something that continuously stresses me out and I'm trying to learn how to navigate it. (And I have not had to deal with this during the worst of the pandemic, so I think that may be why this is a new stressor.) We all know that auditions come in randomly, and…

For those of you who've done background acting in LA, how would you say union background acting differs from non-union. Obviously the pay is different (seems to be substantially different) but what else are the other differences? Are the background jobs different (ie, I'd think you might get more funeral scenes or role…

Is this mainly based on headshot matching character idea or do they take skill level into account or other materials such as a demo reel, previous credits, etc., into account? In other words, is it likely for a newer signed actress to get brought in for Series Regular roles without demo reel or even previous credits?

Hey [r/acting](https://www.reddit.com/r/acting/), The concept of 'competitive art' is inherently a bit lame - but since self tapes have become so important recently, I thought it could be fun to throw down.

So I've been reading acting techniques and some say acting is giving your all in regards to emotion and feelings and so you have to use yourself and your instincts and give it your all.Somewhere else i read that you cannot use your personal feelings that it might go out of control.

I moved to LA a year ago to pursue acting. COVID of course put a pause on it, but its coming back around. I keep hearing grumbles saying that I should have moved to Austin or chicago instead because LA isnt THE place to try to become an actor anymore. Now im getting paranoid like I made the wrong choice.

This actor looks vaguely like Scott from the band Pentatonix. He has very short grayish blond hair and big bulging blue eyes. I think he is an action actor. Sorry if this is vague, I know exactly what he looks like but nothing he is in or what his name is. Thank you!

After dedicating ten years of my life to acting and trying to get better, I understood that my success was not based on my skills.

Just as the title says, in the last 1327 days since I've signed with my agent, she's gotten me 17 auditions. That works out to 1 audition every 78 days. Of those 17 auditions I've gotten 6.

How do you get over a fear of a potential real bullet instead of a blank bullet?
