Use this thread to post your headshots for feedback, get info on your age range/type, find good headshot photographers, ask any questions you may have about headshots. If you are posting a DIY headshot for feedback, and not just a snapshot in order to get feedback on your age range/type/etc, it is advised that you do at least some basic research on what actor headshots look like--composition, framing, lighting. You will find a Google Image search for "actor headshots" to be very helpful for this. Non-professional shots are fine for age/typecasting; please keep in mind that one picture is a difficult way to go about this. Video of you moving and speaking would be ideal, but understandably more difficult to post. For what it's worth, the branding workshop at SAG-AFTRA recommends a five-year age range. That's inclusive, so for example 19-23, 25-29, 34-38, etc.

Hello I am an international actor who wants to get a representation (or an agent) and auditions. I heard that I should look for agents and casting calls on casting websites such as Backstage, Spotlight, and Mandy. It costs lots of money to buy each membership. Do you think I should buy some of them or all of them? What about you? I wonder your experience and opinion.
Hello, i really want to become an actor, is my dream but where i’m from theres not much to do, I don’t plan to do this right now, maybe in the next 2 years when things in the world get better, i will try my hardest to be able to work in the US legally before going of course. My problem is that i don’t know where to go, i saw new york is a good place to start but i also heard LA is the best place, but no way i would be able to afford it, is there other places i could try? Anything i should keep in mind? Im a beginner in this Any help, advice, recommendations, precautions would be really appreciated.
Hello I have to rant here about casting issues. I may be the greatest living actor of today but I am severely underappreciated and often typecast for specific roles on the stage. For some forsaken reason the casting director decides I should play the villain. Although I enjoyed fulfilling the most challenging role in the play, and being undoubtably the most interesting character on the stage, many roles have started to feel increasingly two dimensional and bland. I believe I should have the chance to play the hero, especially with my extreme good looks and smile. I have demanded that they re-cast me but the director is a dkhead and won't hear it. I threatened to walk out of this awful production, and it would be their loss and not mine, because I am a great actor and deserve better than this sht.
I work full time with a varied schedule and due to that and often times unable to audition for a role that very same day but feel like I'm shooting myself in the foot by missing this deadline. Do most actors memorize and submit for roles the day the audition posts? Thank you for the answers
LA is really expensive so i don’t have any idea how i would be able to afford it, maybe new York? Atlanta? Im not sure where i could go, i really want to become an actor but im not sure where i could start
Years ago, before the strict rules were enforced about not charging actors money to meet with CDs unless certain criteria was met, there were countless studios in LA with online calendars full of CD workshops you could register for. Now that most of them are gone, the only ones I really know about are Ace Studios, (LA) and TVI Studios, (LA) which is more about the ongoing acting courses taught by CDs instead of the one or two-hour workshops. I'm not opposed to either of those, but after hunting around online for a bit, I'm not finding many other places/services that have current CD's/associates from current/renewed TV shows doing workshops/classes. For those of you who actively pursue CD workshops or other ways to actively connect with casting for your targeted shows, which studios/services do you utilize? Thanks!
Ever since I could remember all I ever wanted was to be was an actor , but to me acting is being comfortable in your own skin cause how could u not like yourself and try to be someone else, it doesn’t work and a big part of holding me back from my goal is over eating, I’m not even fat but it more so affects my self esteem among other things, I’m not sure why I’m posting this maybe I need words of wisdoms, so say something mean, say something motivating, say whatever I just want out of this loop of a problem.
Has anyone done the voice over tutorials on skillshare - were they worthwhile? (I am a trained actor but new to VO and want to set up a home studio) I wanted to ask before I fork out for a membership. Otherwise any workshops / coach recommendations in London are appreciated. Thanks!
I am Dante. I’m an aspiring actor and storyteller hoping to get started on my dream job and I just wanted to ask if social media like YouTube or TikTok the best ways to get started into your career? Are there any examples and advice?
Any opinions on In Person vs Online classes for a new actor? Also any advice for someone who is working a very busy 9-6 job that pays well to becoming a working actor? The idea of making that transition really freaks me out.
Alright, so my speech impediment isn't the absolute worst. Since puberty hit, it's deepened a lot. I'm 23, and I had a squeaky voice at 18) I was a late bloomer, and my grandmother told me that I could make a good voice actor. There is only one problem, I pronounce words incorrectly to the point where I sound like I'm swearing. For example, sit becomes "sh!t". I cannot fix that however as that is how I was born. Should I let stuff like that hold me back?
I went 3 years with 2 different agents. One agent only got me 1 audition the whole year, while the other agent I had, while being green and ignorant, I paid $245 per year to be apart of the agency which only got me 6 or 7 student film auditions with no paid gig auditions. I am not really sure what I was thinking, I guess I thought this was how agents work and maybe there was something wrong with my headshots, demo reel or something wrong with my skills but after having a good agent for the last three years and having over a 100 auditions and having a hand full of bookings, I firmly believe these past agents just didn't know how to network, were lazy and just all in all were just bad agencies. I can't believe I spent 3 years being a part of those agencies but it was also my fault letting them be so lack luster and I guess in a way I was also being lazy, not asking them enough questions like, "why am I not getting any auditions and why are they just student films"? Also I might add, how are actors supposed to get better, gain more experience if the agent isn't doing their job for you? I can't stress enough that if you want to be an actor professionally please don't do what I did and let these type of agents, who are doing next to nothing for you, work this way. It should of never of gone for that long and I learned a valuable lesson and it made me a better actor in terms of acting as a part of a business and not just having talent. If you really want to be an actor, make sure you don't do what I did and let people waste your time.
After having taken several different acting classes, at different schools with different techniques and different teachers, I've come to the conclusion that most acting classes are a big waste of time. The reason why is because you spend 95% of the class sitting and watching other people, then maybe if you're lucky, the remaining 5% of class you actually get to work. **In a typical 3 hour class, that means you spend 10 minutes actually working and 2 hours and 50 minutes sitting and watching**. Don't get me wrong, there can be value in watching others, but nowhere near enough to justify spending 95% of the time watching and only 5% working. I get why acting classes do this...it's so they can make more money, but it doesn't serve you, the actor. In conclusion, I highly recommend trying to find a very small and intimate class where you can spend a lot more than just 5% of the time working. If you have the money, a private acting coach would be even better. Once I ditched traditional classes and started working one-on-one with a private coach, my acting skills increased exponentially. What does everyone else here think?
Hi so basically my question is, how rare is it for a canadian actor/actress to work on a major film or show in the states with no/ barely any formal training. I ask this question because in the past 1-2 years ive noticed two actresses ( maitreyi ramakrishnan and iman velanni) get such epic roles. Now for maitreyi what i could find about her is that she only did drama in high school in 1 year and got a huge netflix role, and for iman vellani she was part of a youth program in TIFF and got casted as a lead in a marvel show/movie . I also understand that one of the reasons that they got the roles were because of their ethnicities, but how is it possible to get such epic roles. Just curious is all.

***major social anxiety, self confidence problems and fear of rejection***. These are all horrible things when you would like to be an actor. I'm currently working on my mental health anxiety and self confidence wise so that's a good thing I guess. The thing is I'm 17. Should I feel rushed? Or do I have plenty of time to try to become an actor? I just see all these actors and actresses and see that they started at a really young age and grew up in that industry. And I mean like 9 to 14 young. So they were always in that environment. And with that came the acting skills and fame. So what I'm trying to ask is, Is it too late? Or when is it too late? Is there a Prime Time? I know I should take action ASAP but I just don't know what direction to go in. Any advice helps, it means a lot. Thank you in advance. Good luck to everyone!
I'm 14 year old boy and i really like acting but I also like gaming meanwhile i've got homework to do as well. So my question is, how can I manage my time, so that I can become a good actor meanwhile having other hobbies that i like to do

I've always been an avid actor: I started acting professionally at the start of this year, and I’ve made quite some progress up to the end of this year, cus I've gotten headshots, joined a TV acting class, auditioned for and successfully signed with an agent and been involved in numerous stage productions, short/student films, etc. (usually as an extra for films) and have had opportunities to do a bunch of auditions through my agent. I loved doing this and didn’t care at all about how much time it used up. But around the time I signed with my agent, which was 2 or 3 months ago, my brother who wasn’t as interested in acting but did do a stage acting class occasionally suddenly seemed very interested in signing with the agent as well. So, we did it all again but with my brother: headshots, signing with the same agent, signing up for Spotlight (this website that gets you casting calls). I think it’s important here to realize that this wasn’t an easy fix, headshots cost about £150 per session and the agent we’re with requested £10 monthly admin fee to cover workshops (this was a very reputable agency which has been known to create quite a few popular actors) so to get into professional acting you actually need to prepare for quite an investment money-wise. Fellow actors know what I’m talking about. But anyway, we did this all for my disinterested brother, who went along with it as if he was completely passionate about the acting industry. And from the moment he joined, it was clear that he did not care at all about what happened to his acting career: he neglected his online profiles, did little acting-related stuff and only trudged through his self-tapes and auditions because I was nagging him to do them, and he found me annoying. Heck, sometimes when we spent too long on an audition tape he’d begin complaining about the time and try to sneak downstairs to play on his PS4. But you get the point, he did absolutely nothing on his own to try and advance his acting career; if it weren’t for me, he’d probably have been dropped by the agency. I probably sound a bit selfish right now, but you’d likely feel the same way if you were in my position. So about 2 months pass by with us doing that, and I’ve been feeling a significant lack of self-tape requests coming into my inbox. My brother, meanwhile, has received almost quadruple the amount of self-tape requests, and he’s clearly getting visibly frustrated at the amount of work he needs to do in place of his free time which he normally uses to watch YouTube, play video games, etc. etc. So, 1 night on a considerably long self-tape, in the middle of rehearsing his lines, he turns and tells me he’s no longer interested in acting professionally. I ask him why, and he admits that it’s because he just doesn’t feel that passion and would rather spend his time doing more fun stuff rather than devoting entire nights to learning lines and filming. I think fair enough, so the next day we tell our parents, but they completely disagree. They accuse him of being too weak and is only giving up because it’s getting too hard. In the end, he stays with the agent but it’s abundantly clear that he no longer wants to do this. Now we move to present day. I come home from the last day of school (the last day of my mock exams as well, what a brilliant end of exam surprise) and my mum tells me my brother has been contacted by the agency to tell him that he’s automatically been accepted for a film job produced by Marvel. Yes, you read that right, freaking MARVEL STUDIOS asked him to come along to film something without even needing an audition. I take a few moments to digest that information. My brother, a kid who has no interest in acting professionally, doesn’t want to give up his time to do auditions, doesn’t give a rat’s ass about whether he makes it in the acting industry, just landed a job for one of the biggest movie producers in the world without even needing to audition, while me, someone who actually puts in the effort, the hard work and the hope into my career (and, mind you, his career as well simply because I'm obliged to as his older brother), hasn’t received even an audition request for about a month now. That’s right. People can just shove that “opportunity will only come to those who are prepared” idiom down the drain. Because here I am, a walking talking piece of evidence that completely debunks that myth. I guess life is just like that: handing opportunities on a silver platter to those who don’t give two \*\*\*\*s about them as opposed to the ones who have put in the work, the effort, the passion, and who have been waiting for something like this to crop up for ages. Now I'm not trying to say anything bad about the acting industry, the agency, my parents, my brother; what I just want to get off my chest right now and rant about is the fact that life just flips you off with a random number generator even though you’ve worked so so hard for this. Words can't describe the wretched feeling I have in myself right now. And I know my brother deserves none of the blame, but I can't help but feel dejected. Thank you for coming to my TED talk, I’ll go quietly
I set up a corporation at the beginning of this year for tax reasons I won't get into, but for next year, it would probably make sense not to continue. Does anyone here have an S-corp, LLC or any other corporation you find useful to keep going even when your acting income has stayed low? Not looking for financial advice, I just want to hear other actors incorporation experiences and what makes them keep it or made them dissolve it?

I am working on a fictional audio drama called Subsister: A Real Podcast (as you can tell from the account name!) and I am currently looking for a few voice actors to fill out an isolate episode within the story. I've posted here in the past, so this might sound familiar, I'm just looking for another 3 for a Bonus Episode I am producing. All 3 roles are for women, but feel free to audition for any or all characters you feel you would be a good fit for. There will be audition lines down below with the rates attached to each character. There's no deadline on the submissions, so I'll keep them open until they are casted. **Sonja (30s-50s): Former entertainment website writer, trying to do some real journalism ($75)** \-"Hello, this is Sonja Orbison. I used to be a reporter... That's not true. I wrote for CBT, I was a glorified gossip columnist for the show Subsister. Something never felt right about the night it ended though. It's been years, but I finally decided to pursue the story further." **Delphi (20s-40s): Former assistant producer from the show, harboring a dark secret ($50)** \-"Yes. But, if you pursue it, there's no going back. You're right, that you were wasting your time writing for the show. But, I've given you a lot here. Whether or not you can understand what I've said, that's something different entirely." **Barista (20s-30s): A barista working at the coffee shop ($20)** \-"Oh, the caller said that Miss Murray would be with another woman. And, they described... well, you." Thank you so much for checking out this post and hope everyone has a happy holiday season. ​ EDIT: Contact info!

Hi. I am a 15 year old boy/male who has been interested in acting since I can remember. I live in Iceland and would like to know, how do I get started, how do I land jobs. There are currently no acting classes or any famous actors in Iceland who are currently teaching. So is there anyway that I can start? Please if someone knows, you would change everything for me :)
Hey everyone, Best Kept Secret is an adult audio community and we are looking for men with great voices and equally good acting talents to do voice acting work where you speak directly to the listener (mostly women) in seductive scenarios. The starting rate is $125/hour and once an established working relationship is there we increase it. One actor we work with is on $250/hour currently as an example. We provide the scripts/stories and do the SFX and editing, all you have to provide is the raw audio. There is no real min or max for the number of scripts you can do per month, it depends on how our audience reacts to them. You must be comfortable with performing adult material and content and you must obviously be 18+. Previous experience is not necessary. But stage, film or serious voice acting work/reels you can share are greatly appreciated. If you are interested please email either rob@yourbestkeptsecret.co.uk or Alexis@yourbestkeptsecret.co.uk for more details on a short audition process or drop over a DM. Cheers, Rob
How do you manage your day-to-day? What's keeping me from actually pursuing a career in acting is that the process to put myself out there is...overwhelming. How did you overcome it?
Hey! Does anyone have any specific NYC class recommendations that have Meisner courses? I was looking into The Acting Studio (note-not The ACTORS Studio lol) but after doing some reviewing online I hear a lot of people saying it's not that good and even scammy, so now I'm back at the drawing board. So anybody have any good recs for a 19 year old who has been acting a little over a year and has only consistently taken 1 acting class and is now looking for something new? Hopefully a well-known class since I hear agents and casting directors like that? lol (affordable/cheap would be ideal but, y'know, can't have your cake and eat it too)
Hi everyone, first time posting to this sub. I’ve recently decided I want to give it a go as a voice over artist. I have done some research and think I’ve settled on which mic and interface I want for my home set up, got a rough idea on starting a website for myself and such to help canvass for jobs. I have decided I am going to start a limited company (ltd) before looking for jobs, for reasons I won’t go into. The reason I’m posting is because I can’t settle on a name for my company, and therefore my website/business. Is it unusual to have the word “studio” or “voice studio” in my title, or is this something more for a production company? General tips on other areas are also welcomed! Sorry if this post is silly haha
Question for fun: Kind of a weird question maybe, but I was wondering if there were any requirements I was missing that would prevent someone from using a different name for different jobs in the film industry. Like, as an actor they use "Nova Star" but when they direct they are "Luna Leader" and they write under "Pen Smightier" and when they do craft services they are "Eats McGee". I mean, non-union can always do whatever they want, but would it be acceptable at the higher levels or only when their unions are separate and you can register under the name you are using for each? Yes, I know that it's not a great plan to do since networking is such a big thing in ALL film industry roles. This is just a hypothetical wondering thing. ​ I originally started thinking of this as a funny thing to do with a comedy short film since it looks better if there are more people in the credits rather than all being the same person for written by/directed by/filmed by/starring. So, you could have a dozen different people listed....but they are all you. :) It just got me wondering if it could also be an actual thing in the big leagues or if there were rules against it. Doing it would be kind of like how one author can have multiple pen names for different genres of books.
Hi everyone! just like most people here i am trying to become an actress and i have a deep feeling that this is what im meant to do and i havent felt more sure about anything ever, the problem is i have no idea how to get an agent ive been trying for two years and i never hear back, i was wondering is it more about connections and net working (knowing people who know people)? Or are there secret ways of getting an agent that i have no clue of? I have taken acting classes from my university and short films but would i need to go to acting classes other then my uni to get recognition or would that not help? I just dont know how people get agents. I truly believe once i get an agent i'll be good on my own for the rest :(
When I stop pursuing acting about 7 years ago. All auditions were in person. Now with all the streamers looking for actors, do they post on actors Access or is it still mainly low budget and student films? I figure since I have a lot of time here I could do online auditions and if I book something I can pay for my own ticket back to the United States. I'm sag therefore if I book a job I know it's going to pay well and that would cover my expenses. Any thoughts on this?
Being an actor for Film/TV is absolutely brilliant, but gods do I miss my home!
I'm not an actor. I'm just curious. Are those trailers actors get on sets only for chilling when they're not needed or do they ever sleep in them overnight?
A while back I posted a narration here that I did as my collage assignment, and luckily, I was able to start narrating horror stories for a big YouTube channel. I was wondering, what is the usual payment for new voice actors such as me who does these types of work to strengthen their Portfolio? I want to know where I stand next to others when it comes to salaries.
I look up stuff on the internet, but it seems so complicated: get an agent, have a home studio and apply for roles. I don't even know how to acquire said things. So, is there sites I can go to? Places I can go? How can I practice? Just any little piece of advice will be useful.
I have heard a lot of advice here that turned out to be wrong. I am not saying they are wrong for every market, but it didn’t work for me in my city. So here are the advice you should not always listen to. “Having an agent is better than being self-represented” I get way more work, including roles on union productions, by myself. I have a lot of contacts, have time to give myself priority, know what I would be good for, answer really quickly, and am good in negotiating. I tried finding an agent in my market and even the recommended ones who were interested in me either said they couldn’t get me as much work as I get by myself, didn’t answer quickly enough to get me the job, or didn’t receive as many breakdowns as I did. I understand that the vast majority of actors will get more work with an agent, but it has been the opposite for me. « You can’t find legit breakdowns on Facebook » I booked my best gigs thanks to Facebook, including union work on big projects. I personally feel like I stand out a lot compared to average people when I apply on Facebook compared to when I am submitting myself to confidential breakdowns when I am competing with hundreds of professional actors. « You need professional equipment to record a self-tape » I used to waste a lot of time buying and using professional equipment. It turns out that I book more gigs with my cellphone and the sunlight. I am also able to record more self-tapes because it is easy to use no matter where I am or how much time I have. « You need to dedicate yourself to acting every day » I got better at acting once I started over practicing and just actually lived in the moment and adapted myself to the situation and the directions. Some of my best roles were the ones for which I was booked at the last minute. I also became a much more interesting person once I started focusing on other things that acting, which helped me earn more money, be less anxious, be more successful, develop special skills, gain life experiences, and network every day. « You need to become a better actor to get more work. » I personally see that being a good fit for the character is way more important than being the best actor. I am a good actor, but the reason why I am booked is because I have a special look, a special skill, am part of a certain type of diversity, or know the right people. The key to my success is finding what makes me stand out and focus on roles that need that. When I am the only one who has what it takes to do the role, there isn’t much need to compete. I am not necessarily saying those who think otherwise are wrong, but they are not always right, and I believe it can be more helpful to some people to not follow these advice.

That title sounds horrible lmao Im trying to make a MCU style intro and I just need a bunch of different people to say 1 line so I can overlap them. I checked in r/recordthisforfree but it seems like a pretty dry sub. Would any of you happen to know of a active website I can go to and post a advertisement on?
I’ve lived a fucked up life. I had to act in order to survive. Not in a professional sense but as a literal way to survive. Act like you’re happy. Act like things are okay. Act like you like people. Act like you love. Act like you know. Maybe I do though? Maybe I am though? Are there any famous actors who’ve come from fucked up lives that made it? I can be anyone I want to be. Especially if I can relate to them. Where do I start? I have access to NYC and I could always move to LA. The difference between me and many is that acting wasn’t a choice for me. It might be now in a technical sense but I’m starting to believe that it’s one of my strongest skills and I’m thinking of pursuing it. Who knows, maybe I suck at it. Which would be ironic and hysterical but something tells me my ability to fool everyone in my life, even the closest people to me, might mean I’m better than I want to be. I love film too. But fucked up roles would suit me best.
There was a post about this from 8 years ago, but there's a lot more people here now as well as different medication so I thought I'd ask this again. I got prescribed for 150mg of Wellbutrin daily and I'm super worried that it will dull my emotions and make emotionally connecting in a scene harder. I'm already not very sensitive to emotions compared to most actors. I'd love to hear about anyone's experience using anti-depressants.
Hello, I want to ask a question... Due to personal reasons (Reasons I do not want to disclose) I want to ask if some voice actors (not all) accept rev share as payment? Again this is for personal reasons.
Hey everyone! I'm Adam, I'm 17 years old (18 in 2 months) and and want to begin voice acting in a somewhat professional setting. Ever since puberty hit, everyone has been telling me that I have a great voice and that I should pursue voice acting in some form. If I had to describe my voice, I would say relatively deep (nothing crazy like Morgan freeman or something, haha) and slightly raspy, but still sounding like a teenager/young adult, with a standard American accent. I've made YouTube Videos in the past for fun and even accumulated 10.000 subscribers so I know a thing or two about video and audio editing. About two months ago I set up a Fiverr Gig to try to get into voice acting, however I only ended up getting one client. Does anyone have any recommendations on how I could start voice acting (semi) professionally and actually get clients? I would appreciate any advice! :D \[If you are interested, I use a scarlet 2i2 audio interface/microphone + a pop-filter to record my voice.\]
Hello! I'm a non-union actor without an agent on hold for a digital promo spot. The pay is pretty low (a couple hundred), and the audition didn't state the intended usage or the buyout terms up front. I probably should have asked when I sent in my callback audition, but kept assuming they would tell me at some point during our correspondence! Now they've asked me to hold a few dates, and I still don't have full information on the booking. Would it be inappropriate to email the production company and ask for intended usage/buyout information before they've officially booked me? I don't want to be rude or seem like I'm assuming I'll book it, but am also worried that they'll finalize the booking very close to the proposed shoot dates and that the contract will be problematic, and I'll have to pull out last minute - which also doesn't seem like a great look. I've considered trying to contact a commercial agent to help with the negotiations, but for a deal that's only a few hundred dollars I'm not sure they'd be willing to work with someone they don't rep. Or is that untrue? I did research on the production company, and they seem legit otherwise. Any advice would be very welcome, thank you!
Hello! I was just casted as Angie from The Wedding Singer and was wondering if any actors/actresses had any advice on how to properly characterize her so I can get a head start over our Christmas break!
Hello, My name is Marilyn, and I'm a 17 year old trans girl. I came on here to talk about something that's been concerning to me. I've been researching locations of some of my favorite shows and I saw a few filming locations that were anti LGBT. So I wanted to ask, in the event that I end up in a series like this, would I **have** to travel to these countries? Would they replace me if I can't? How much do they care for my safety? Thanks in advance!
Hello, I run a YouTube channel in English and I am looking to start the channel in Spanish, Italian and Portuguese. I was wondering if any one would be interested in working with me on a long-term project and voice acting the videos. I will send the scripts to you in English and It will be your job to voice narrate the scripts in either one of the following languages Spanish, Italian and Portuguese. This will be long-term and I am looking for someone who is reliable and ready to work. \*\*Don't apply if you only do voice overs in English If this sounds like you please let me know how much you charge per 1000 words, I look forward to working with you. Regards Josh
