Hi! Just wanted some insight on the subject above. How can I watch a movie and learn from it as an actor? Following my training, I have found myself looking at films in a different way and wanted to ask professional actors if there's anything they look for in specific. Cheers!

I don’t really know the steps but I know if you want to be a professional actor you need to hire someone (or get hired?). But to do so my guess is you need a resume? Also, where do people find auditions? I know a couple of websites but I want to know where I could start. I have no acting resume (except like once when I…

Hi All! ​ Any actors interested in Zooming/Skyping to rehearse sides for each other? Or even just reading some scripts to keep us active? I know I have a few auditions coming up and would love a reader or another actor to work on them with and would love to do the same. ​ Thanks, Jen

During the last three Pilot Seasons, I made lists of young adult actors aged roughly 23-33 who booked leading and series regular roles and grouped them into the most common educational and training paths based on what I could find of their backgrounds.

I'm not a professional actor, but I do enjoy implementing acting into personal projects. With that being said, I find it hard to connect to the character I'm playing and act accordingly. How can I act in a way that isn't obviously fabricated? Is there some trick that may help an actor visualize his character? I know th…

Assuming the actors had the talent to back it up, if an actor is above average and another one is very attractive who’s more likely to get the lead role? Excluding rom-coms, how much would looks play into someone getting a lead?

I've seen a few videos on voice actors "changing their voices" but they dont explain how. It comes off as an inherent anomaly they were born capable of producing. I think a speech pathologist would be the best person to explain specifically how these voice actors are able to change their voices so much. Are these succe…

I know that most actors are shy and self conscious but I don't want to feel that way when I'm acting.
