I noticed that most of what I have submitted to so far just has me send photo/slate/reel. However, I was looking at one listing and decided to see if there were sides on showfax and there were. Are they expecting people to pay $44 ($22/min) to upload a self tape of the scene just to submit? I have a subscription so it doesn't cost me anything to add media to the submission itself, but I would still have to pay $22/min to add the self tape to the media pool first. The post makes no mention that the sides need to be used to submit for the role. Maybe they are just for if you are selected to audition? The project is Lost Man Found. Can someone with AA experience clue me in please?
Hey fellow actors, as we all know this job can be mentally exhausting whether that's getting into character, critiquing ourselves or just struggling with mental illness in our own lives and trying not to have that come out through the camera. Personally as a creative it's extremely hard for me mentally to do things, from struggling with depression, anxiety and self doubt for many years. I decided to create my podcast to connect with other artist going through the same thing. I started talking about mental breakdown, depression, anxiety, self care, creative burnout and positive affirmations. I shared with a community of creative and it took off, we came together and shared out thoughts, opinions and feelings about what's going on the inside. I don't know if it can help anybody, but I wanted to share it with you guys as well in case anyone needs help with going through something. It's on all streaming platforms but I'll drop the YouTube link if any of you want to check it out. I hope it helps https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN5SpmvW8aXeZNdC93mZKgg
Looking for Headshot rec in Bay Area I’m looking for someone in the Bay Area/Silicon Valley who has actors headshot experience. All the ones I’m finding are geared towards business headshots and I don’t want to have to go all the way to LA to get them done. Any recommendations would be super appreciated!
I’m a beginner actor in NYC. I have 20k saved and I want to train super hard, network, and jump in ASAP because I’m only getting older. What do you guys suggest I do? Classes and a coach simultaneously? If so any recommendations? I feel like I’m being stagnant and I saved up this money for acting so I want to do as much as I can (while not being dumb about spending, I’m not rich lol) any help would be appreciated and I’m curious to know how you guys would use the savings.
Hi everyone. I'm relatively new to acting (within the last two years) and have what might be considered a rookie question, but I need to ask it! I've been thinking a lot about continuity lately and not just with props, costume, makeup, hair, etc., but with physical movements, gestures and delivery of my scenes in general. I know on larger productions there will be a script coordinator and people on set who are there to assist in this area, but how much as an actor do we need to be cognizant of this within our acting? It seems like it would really take me out of the moment and space I created if I was thinking, "Oh, I need to raise my right arm about this high and raise it when I say this syllable of this word, etc., etc." on every scene that should be filmed as a new experience because of the previous takes that were done. I know it also depends on angle of shot, but is this something that seasoned actors are just used to thinking about and being aware of? Should every shot be absolutely identical after the master shot? If so, how do you get better at this and are there any specific classes you would recommend that would help with this? I'm thinking an in-person on-camera class but would love suggestions on specific ones or other ideas. Thanks for reading and responding!
I've seen plenty of scam audition offers (trying to get you to pay for a membership to view listings and so on). Does anybody know of any companies that actually audition, hire and pay actors/extras in the area? [Filmbirmingham.com](https://Filmbirmingham.com) suggests contacting the movies in progress and asking for their casting directors, but doesn't give much advice on how to find and contact those people.
I'm facing this issue, where as an actor I've read a play again and again and after I'm able to imagine it think what the character I'm playing would be like, it's living in my imagination. But I'm having difficulty bringing it into reality. I'm able to bring the tempo and rythym where I start with, but after some time my own consciousness comes up in between which is a very big disturbance for the character as it starts to diminish when this happens. Does anyone have any helpful inputs on this.
Pretty much as the title says. I need a commission, first time ever I'm paying for something like this, so not really sure how much should I pay, don't want to overpay or be scammed. Additional info: * it's not a text but a series of 25 sentences circa, so I would need the same amount of .wav files; * it's latin, but accents and right pronunciation don't really matter as long as it sounds decent, it's not for academic purposes and I doubt someone would notice; * it's not a voiceover. I know the price range would vary greatly depending on the experience, nationality and so on of the voice actor, just need an estimate of a good price/quality ratio. I will probably publish an offer on Upwork, problem is that the platform needs you to set a max price and usually application entries ask for the same max amount, and of course I have no idea what that amount should be. Thanks to anyone who wants to give me some good advice on this!
For context: I was directed by the director and it took roughly 1 hr to film my scene (different angles, specific activity in scene that took time to reset). I didn’t sign a principal contract but was 100% recognizable in the final shot and credited in theatres. I am trying to get a new theatrical agent and think this could help if it was on my resume, but I don’t want to look green.
The reason I ask is that Twitter says they will verify you if you have 50+ credits. But on IMDb it will say for example… “Actor (10 credits)” …if you have done 10 shows, no matter how many episodes you’ve done. Does anyone know if Twitter is referencing this count? Or the number of credited episodes you’ve done (eg: you have “10 credits” but they’re for 10 episodes each therefore 100 credits). I can’t seem to find an answer anywhere.
To preface this, I have little to no acting experience. Once I got a callback when I was 16, but that’s it. Now, I am 23, and the question in my head occasionally arises “should I try and act?”. This question pops in my head whenever I see a performance that is really inspiring to me (this time it was Dune). What I would hope to gain from acting is the feeling of being absorbed into another world. So, my question is, is this the right motivation to get into acting? I want to know if any actors started this way, or if there are any other signs that pointed them toward acting?
I recently created a profile and filled out every field. But my agent sees it all as blank. She says there should be a check box that says “viewable to agent” but I don’t see that anywhere. Does anyone know where it is?
I’m sorry for the generic title, couldn’t phrase my problem better. I’m only beginning in acting, I’ve been going to acting lessons in a small amateur theatre for a couple of months now. The theatre can put you on plays, depending on your progress in class, I can’t say I’m doing incredibly good, but I’ve made some progress. Anyways, I’ve started rehearsing for a substantial part and yesterday was my first rehearsal almost one-on-one with the director. The other actress attended to later start rehearsing for her own part in the play. However she kept interacting with director, giving comments and directions on how I should be playing and it bugged me quite a bit. She only attends classes for a few more months than me, and frankly not even our more experienced actors let themselves criticise the newbies this way, not often at least. She is better in her skills in some way, she also lacks in the other areas, I know that. Some of her comments might have been ok, some I doubted. In general it just distracted me from doing my best. I feel like in terms of stage acting I’m not as good as her yet, although I am more well read and have in general deeper understanding of the story and character development. Also I feel like director and few other people might have favored me a little bit, as I’m noticeably guite better than average looking and I feel they sympathise with me on a personal level. Hence I feel like they started giving me parts when I might not be fully ready for it. I can’t say no to them, as I don’t want to seem unambitious, not confident, lazy etc. I struggled yesterday, as I’m not instantly comfortable on stage, I gain momentum with time and the other actress’s comments kept throwing me off as well. Anyway, I don’t think she should be giving directions, however, as director was letting it, I couldn’t voice my objection and frankly, I’m not sure if I should. How should I handle this situation, is there a chance that it’s my insecurity speaking?

Hi all! I’m a fellow actor and photographer here in NYC offering my services as a photographer. The lowest price I have is $150 for 10 photos/1 hour session. If interested, you can check out my website here: www.ebonydavisphotography.com. I look forward to working with y’all!
Somewhat calling out a facet of our industry which is only modeled in our industry, not anywhere else (from what I've seen). We've heard the term "hard to work with" and we equate that to being a diva, being difficult or uncooperative, egotistical, and all the negative connotations the phrase brings to us. So much so, we as actors try to overcompensate and will sacrifice pay for a project so we don't appear as "difficult to work with" or rather, "Happy to be here", even if you've trained, paid, and worked for your right to be there. It's so subjective and its not shared in corporate spaces (at least the ones I've graced). If the person has the ability to do the job, their unpleasantness may be a factor you have to accept. I'm sure you've heard a Judge being called a "hard-ass" because he gives harsh sentences or waiting for your manager to be "in the right mood" before asking them a question? Your IT guy could probably fix the hell out of your computer, but has a grouchy personality. Granted, nobody wants a diva on set, but saying they're just an unpleasant experience is too vague to have meaning. Jim Carey was difficult to work with during the Andy Kaufman movie -- does that make him an actor you wouldn't want to work with? On the flipside, Harvey Weinstein called actresses who wouldn't sleep with him "difficult to work with", as its easier to say that then "they wouldn't put out". I think this term is antiquated and has overstayed its welcome. It means nothing because its not specific; it does not measure someone's ability to do said job; its a blanket term for abusers and those with power to cancel those beneath them; and it only suggests a moment in time. Maybe that particular set caused the actor to be difficult to work with. Maybe the crew. Maybe it is the actor -- does it matter? Just a thought
I'm happy that my skillset has been able to win me callbacks but I have started to notice a trend...**At Callbacks: I tend to be the very first one to go.** 9 am? Me first. Noon? Me first. It's rare it's after 4 or 5 auditioners I am placed to audition. It's always 1st audition of the day. Anyone else go through this? An agent a while back had told me this is a GOOD thing because the casting office trusts the actor to open the room but here is also my question(s): Yes (and) it does open up the room, it gives you a chance to warm up the room and let the ad agency and client and director 'feel out' what they are looking for - and set the tone - but a lot of times I also feel it can backfire on you as the 'test' run. I think it makes you the guinea pig a lot of times and the adjustments you get are what they learn from and give the other actors to work with as they streamline down their choices. Anyone have any intel on this? Have you ever requested an agent to please stop doing this to you? I understand if I go first once in a while and have to make the most out of it, but taking this hit every single time as 'first one to go' - I'm not feelin'....
I've started becoming really passionate about talking to incoming college students about the insanity that happens in theatre programs. I wasn't accepted into ANY of the mainstage shows, in the musical theatre program, or the theatre performance concentration. Meanwhile, I'm releasing my first single at the end of the year, opened a recording studio with my partner, and have plans to form a theatre collective. If you're currently auditioning for colleges, PLEASE don't make the insane mistakes I did: ​ 1. The college you go to doesn't define who you are. 2. You get out what you put in. 3. don't let the adults scare you.\*\*\* 4. Remember that your future collaborators are more likely your peers, not the faculty. \*\*\*this is my favorite one lol. Anyone else with good advice please add below. I hate the current narrative around college theatre programs and want our young actors to know that they DON'T have to be doormats like we're taught. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxH8RRx\_yWE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxH8RRx_yWE) Much love to everyone auditioning this year.
New actor here. I’m hearing/reading conflicting information about head shots. My acting teacher says Don’t overthink it, get something that looks like you but does not cost a lot of money. That’s all that matters. But I know there are actors who dish out more $$ for a professional who specializes in head shots. I’m talking to someone now who charges $400 for 2 looks, 3 images retouched. Includes link to all images and Pre-shoot vision board (whatever that is). Does this sound reasonable? Thanks for the input
I am so hard on myself I doubt myself to the point that i feel like i am not fucking close to any glimpse of being an actor, even though tons of people really like my acting and tell me you are really good. So what the fuck i can do, i hate this so much.
Hello everyone! I have an audition for a role in a script I really, really like. (Hooray!) Thing is, though, **my lines are supposed to be in another language with English subtitles. But in the script I was given, they are in English.** (Not going to say what the other language is bcuz I don't want to include anything potentially identifying.) I am fluent in Language 2, but I'm not sure whether they're expecting me to go ahead and translate the lines myself or if there was simply an oversight. **What should I do here? Would it be a bad idea to email the person who contacted me and ask about this?** I'm a bit worried that this is some kind of test and/ or that if I ask they'll assume I was lying about being fluent in Language 2, because unfortunately I know people do do that. Normally I wouldn't mind just going ahead and translating myself, but I don't want to do that without being asked; I would feel a bit weird, like I was trying to impose my own ideas without permission or something. I don't want to appear presumptuous. \* I also don't want to risk going against the writer's vision. (While I am fluent in Language 2, it is not my native language so there's a risk my translations will sound a bit clunky / not how a native speaker would actually say them in the conversational context of the script, if that makes sense. It is a lovely script and I wouldn't want to undermine that for any people watching the film who are native speakers of Language 2). Especially since some of the lines are so abstract that I don't even know what they mean in English haha. \^\^ And others are very idiomatic and therefore just really difficult to translate in a way that sounds good. \* I'm not really expecting anyone else to have encountered this exact situation, because it is a bit unusual haha - just wondering what other actors think I should do based on their experience and instincts. Thank you!! :)
Back in June I booked and shot my first co star role and then literally the next day I booked and shot a commercial for a major company…I was on cloud nine getting to be on set back to back. I thought after I booked my first costar it would be easier for me to book more things but that simply has not been the case. Lately I’ve just been feeling down and frustrated abut not booking anything and then to make matters worst the commercial I shot got cut… so no residuals for me :/ I know these feelings are only temporary and I’m definitely being a little over dramatic (duh, I’m an actor lol) but in this moment it feels like I suck and I’m never going to book anything ever again and that makes me pretty sad. Anyway, that was my little rant/venting session.
Hopefully y'all will know the answer. I've always wondered, when an actor is officially announced as joining the cast of a tent pole movie (or the ilk), are their scenes already filmed? I swear, I'll read principle shooting has been completed and then they'll announce casting additions. Or will production wait until a casting has been announced before filming any scenes with that actor/actress? any reasoning or clarity behind this will be awesome.
I've been wanting to act my whole life. I'm finally taking classes, so just starting out. The thing I'm worried about is time. I have 2 kids- 1yo and 5yo. I want to start auditioning so bad but I don't know what the time looks like so I'm afraid to audition because I don't want to be away from family too long. My husband is super supportive, we both work from home and our schedules are really flexible. Is this something I could do without taking too much time away from family?
Hi everybody, I contract with a company which is looking for female voice actors to dub short licensed videos for YouTube. We already have a couple actors but are looking for another. Please message me if interested. This is a paid gig ($2.40 per 100 words, with frequent repeat videos per month) DM please if interested.
so recently i decided to just go for acting because everyday is a missed opportunity and i don’t wanna be that person who didn’t chase their dreams because of fear or self-doubt but the thing is how do I conquer that fear? I try not to compare myself to other people but i see them with immense credits under their belts and years of hard work unlike me who just starting late in her mid-20s with nothing, it’s daunting really plus i’ve witnessed actors with great talent that I feel like i can’t compete with them. idk, any advice you like to share?
Have any international actors been on OPT after getting training or studying in the US? How was your experience?
I know that agencies for adults shouldn’t ask you for money except for a percentage of the work they get you and where I am from, they also don’t have the right to advertise that they are looking for actors to join their agency and it’s a red flag if they hire anyone who wants to join without any real criteria and represent way too many people… However, most kids agencies I find do ask for money upfront and a lot of them advertise that they are looking for people. I don’t have kids, but a lot of people ask me to recommend agencies for their kids and I never know what to answer. An acting teacher and coach for kids who wrote a book about kids acting said that it’s normal for agents to ask for money upfront because they are taking a risk with kids and don’t know if it will work or not. However, surprise surprise, she is also a kids agents asking for money upfront so it seems like she wrote a book to say that this red flag is actually normal. What are red flags for kids agencies? I am based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada if this helps.
Hi everyone! I’m an LA based actress who’s been living in LA for a couple of years now. I’m really considering moving to Atlanta. My family and friends are in the south and cost of living is cheaper there. I’m not SAG E, so I’m worried about acting opportunities. Has anyone made the move from LA to ATL? How has it affected your acting career? And what about classes? I take Meisner classes now and I love the technique. Does anyone have any suggestions for Meisner or even non Meisner classes in ATL? Any input is appreciated. Thank you!
Hello everyone! I'm a photographer in Chicago looking to get a bit more serious about my headshot skills. Since there are just so many times I can take the same pictures of my dog, I'd love to have more humans to work with. And being a former actor myself, I remember how much of a barrier of entry it was for some auditions not having professional headshots (especially right out of college). So I figured why not solve everyone's problems at once? I'd love to offer headshots to anyone in Chicago that wants them for free as a way for me to start building up my portfolio a bit more. SO if you or anyone else in Chicago is interested, send me a message and we'll see if we can set something up! Examples of some of my work here: https://rich101682.myportfolio.com
Perhaps a difficult question, and maybe not exactly related here, but uh I'll ask anyway. I have an autoimmune disease called Addison, meaning I basically use medication/pills each day, though shouldn't practically restrict me from doing the activities. In the 'bigger films', maybe even smaller ones, the cast often travels a lot to different locations, sometimes they remain for years. A: Are there any medical restrictions on being an actor? B: Will it influence the selection of audition? C: I could obviously take bags of medication but they usually expire after 6/12 months. I'm just wondering whether stuff like this would be provided for the cast over time? Thanks In advance.
One of my favourite acting coaches, [Karen Ivany](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1350696/), is going to be starting in person classes again soon, and has just [launched her own website](https://www.karenivany.ca/) to help with bookings. If you live in Toronto, and you're either a new actor looking for good fundamentals, or an established working actor looking for a tune up, take a class! I owe my career and knowledge of the industry to her, and I cannot recommend her enough. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, she might figure out how to make a reddit account to respond to them
I did this independent horror short earlier this year. Student filmmakers. Shoot was great, cast and crew were mostly chill to work with. The last day we shot the very first scene. We had however started late and me and my costar were dead tired by the end. It was from 7pm-2am. But when it got to this crying scene, I couldn’t emote a convincing response since I was exhausted and it showed in the final takes. Idk why we couldn’t shoot it first. They rushed that part since it was getting late and we were shooting in a neighborhood. Anyway, after we finished, I go inside to change clothes, I then overhear the AD talking with her bf not too far from me, the DP, about my performance. Saying I can’t act and she doesn’t want me to be a part of the DP’s next production. He defended me. I’ve worked as his lead in a short before and we had a good working relationship. He specifically told me about having me try out for the lead in his new short. I never got a call and he casted his leads a month before I found out about it. I know them and they said they never had to audition, just got offered the part. I didn’t mind since that sorta thing is part of the game. Until later he reaches out to me and explains what happened. He wanted me to be the lead but his gf was against it and argued with him about it. His new short is basically a co-directing between the two. Doesn’t end there, she was casting director for a some other short films I applied to and apparently refused to audition me. I found out from the director of the horror short who grew concerned of her behavior. As for this girl, she is an actress but I’ve only seen her act in 2 shorts and only directed one which got her a best female director nom in a festival. She only has 1 imdb credit listed. I myself got more than 22 short film acting roles with the full shorts to show for it. And one indepedent feature. Only 7 of those made it to imdb. Three going to film festivals currently. I have four gigs lined up for this month and two for next month. I even have experience directing, editing, writing, sound mixing, pa, and grip. Shorts of course but me and her on that same boat. This amounts to 5 years of experience. So idk who this girl thinks she is trying to sabotage me like this. I’d expect this from a petty executive in the actual industry. I am obviously no Marlon Brando or big star, but I don’t appreciate this unprofessional behavior by let alone, a film student. I’ve only ever worked with her in two productions. Never rubbed off her the wrong way at all. So what gives?
So as of right now I’m 16, my dream is to be a voice actor but of course a dream isn’t enough to just do it, I’m currently taking acting classes but beyond that I have absolutely no idea on how I would get started. Any tips? It would be greatly appreciated and I’m very exited to ATTEMPT to join the world of voice acting when I’m older.
i have a decent boutique mid-level agent and have been with them for 7-ish months. I get 1-2, sometimes 3, commercial castings per week but hardly ever any castings for scripted film/tv. why could this be? is it because they don't rate me as a proper actor but think i have a good look for commercials? so why go to the trouble of pushing to get me seen for film/tv when commercials are easier and they can make better money..? are they trying to get me seen for film/tv but casting directors aren't interested? it's really getting me down. I don't know if this is because the agents don't rate me as an actor or if casting directors don't want to see me for proper acting stuff. but either way it sucks.
Hi friends. So I’ve moved to the UK last month after a long period of striving in my home country(which has a little developed market), in search of… well, tbh the fact that Lord of the Rings brought magic into my childhood and they’ve moved the production to the UK starting next year pretty much put the last nail in the coffin:)). Apart from an arduous desire to be part of that, even as an extra, there was really not much left for me in Romania, as the pandemic pretty much destroyed and already collapsing sector. On top of that I’m of german origins and I’m a blue eyed blond, which makes me one of the… 5 natural blonds I know in Romania? So I almost never got auditioned for roles in Romanian productions since I didn’t look the part. On the other hand I got extremely lucky with foreign productions coming in - I have an extremely good ear for accents and besides a pretty much flawless standard American I can do most major European accents - and I got cast in small named roles as an American in several of those. First thing upon moving here and getting new headshots and showreel, I started emailing agents. Now although I did include my spotlight where you can find my showreel, I did put some links to the showreel on youtube, precisely because I wanted to be able to see the views. Two weeks in, no views and no answers. I’m fairly confident that I’m a decent actor (forgot to mention that I have a BA and an MA in acting) and I just thought that maybe there’s something I’m not doing right, maybe it’s the foreign name that puts them off? Maybe the showreel isn’t good enough? Is it the fact that I don’t have a British accent in it? Was my cover letter too lengthy? If there’s someone who’s able to illuminate me, I’d be forever grateful. I can post my spotlight link in the comments so you guys can have a look if I’m allowed to, I’m unsure if I am - I wouldn’t want to be seen as “promoting” myself. Also I have no friends here, so a few of those wouldn’t go amiss
I'm a 20 y/o actress in Toronto finishing up my BA (not in acting) this year and I'm planning to audition for the acting MFA programs at Yale, Juilliard, NYU, Columbia, and maybe some of the California schools too (I've heard good things about UCSD and USD but don't know too much about them). I've been working on my application and my monologues but any additional advice/recommendations about the applications, coaching, auditioning, or anything else would be super appreciated!
I could be wrong, but I think most actors feel this way. Really, SAG-AFTRA should just have their own free casting website that offers all the same features and make sure casting offices post all their UNION jobs on it. That way actors who are SAG-AFTRA wouldn't have to bother with these price-gouging casting websites. It's been like this for years and it's getting worse. Nowadays, managers and agents are asking for like 10 different headshots on 3 different websites. It adds up and it's way too expensive. It's not like the business costs of running an online business are super-huge... Does anyone else have any thoughts?
I want to join the industry but I have an overbite that gives me a lisp. I want to be able to narrate books and do commercials, but every time I record my voice I feel like I sound like a kid. I know if I got braces it would probably get worse. I don't see any examples of VOAs with lisps in the industry unless they are really emphasizing it for a character. Also, I am the daughter of immigrant parents and I can't really hear the accent people say I have. What should I do?
I'm interested in taking some acting training so I can build up some rudimentary acting skills, but I have no interest in becoming a "professional" actor. Do you have any recommendations for me? Here are some details: * I live in LA. * I am a full-time background actor. * I have no interest in moving into "real" acting, but I do want to have some basic skills so that if I'm ever asked to speak a line or two during my years as a background actor I can do so adequately. * I do produce some small projects of my own and I'd like to have passable acting skills so that I can appear in my own projects, albeit in limited roles. Any thoughts or recommendations? Some online classes? Any beginner level classes that might be appropriate?
Right now my understanding is that actors, writers, and other artists tend to have just one agent, and it can be a very valuable relationship to have if you happen to sign with one of the big talent agencies. But I thought, why can't actors have multiple agents that source work for them, in the same way other professionals who may be freelancing work with multiple headhunters to find work? Is that not the acting model? Would it work if there was a platform or agency through which you had multiple agents helping? I'm new to the industry and its dynamics so please bear with me. Just looking to understand what's going on from people who are more involved and have experience with this. Thanks!
Actors are always taught to stop acting, and that the moment real emotion is conveyed you've succeeded. This makes a lot of sense to me, but I've never quite gotten a clear answer on how to do that: obviously we are portraying another person, that reacts to emotions very differently than us, and I feel like I have to choose between an authentic reaction (e.g. how I'd react) and a put-on reaction every time I make an acting choice, if that makes sense. How do I get to the point where I act like my character, truthfully?
Hey everyone! I've been running my own bookkeeping business for over 3 years now and I've been wanting to serve people in the film industry including actors, film producers, agents, casting directors etc. I'm mostly wondering if working actors need bookkeepers or if they do it themselves? Would this be a good client base that I could serve?
I am a fairly new actress. I’ve been training and staring in student/indie films for the past year. I was recently booked as the body double for a well known actress. However, during filming, I’ve noticed that I tend to get a bit deer-in-headlights esque. Especially when intense lines are being delivered to me. Even moreso considering that the actors are well known. Is this a bad thing? I wouldn’t exactly say that I am star struck, but more so in awe of the level of talent and technique. I realized that being a double isn’t acting per-se and that the focus is on the actor, but am I being distracting? Is consistent eye contact/stillness a good thing in this situation? Sorry if this is confusing, TIA.
Hey everyone! Sharing this resource for a video editor with 10+ years experience offering to edit your actor reel! They've been editing reels for actors the past few years. A sample of their portfolio is here and they charge $100 for a 1 to 2-minute reel and $150 for a 2 to 5-minute reel. I hope this is helpful!

Does Actors Access or Breakdown Express have new postings on Saturdays or Sundays. I'm guessing almost all postings would go up Monday-Friday anyway, I'm just wondering if there are any on weekends or if it's safe to not even check without fear of missing anything.

I got notified yesterday from the WBTV Casting Department that I am now a finalist for the 2021 Training program. Does anyone know how long it takes for them to narrow down the top 10. And what happens if you’re selected? Anyone know what happened last year?
Hi everyone, I'm writing here to get some advice on what can I do. This is gonna be long but I hope you read it till the end. So, I am 15 year old male and want to pursue a career in acting. This is not one of those things like you watch a great movie and think I wanna be an actor and then forget it after some time, I am seriously considering becoming an actor. The problem in my case is that I live in a country where there is practically no acting, filmmaking, drama schools etc. nothing at all. My family had to move here from america in 2008 cause of my dad's job.I have been acting in school plays for 7 years now and My teachers think I should atleast try acting professionally. Can someone please tell me what can I do ? How can I get an agent in america whilst living in a completely different country so I can start ?I can act and my parents support it but theres nothing I can think of. I Cannot move to america alone I'm 15 so I dont know what to do.
