i'm a fifteen year old girl from england acting has always been what i wanted to do. even if i try to convince myself that i want to do this job or that job when i'm older, it is just simply what i want to do. it sounds cheesy but it is a genuine passion. and i'm naturally pretty okay aha. in regards to careers, i'm incredibly realistic. i know that i probably won't ever make it and be a big name in the acting industry. obviously that is fine, i'm not fussed with being famous or anything, but i would want to make a good amount of money. i've always had a real fear of suffering financially when i am older. however, i don't want to (for example) go to an acting school, only to end up nowhere. it's expensive to go to acting schools, obviously, and while i know it is not a necessity, i don't imagine it hurts to meet people with connections aha. recently, an actor joined my school. i'm not naming him, but he's been in some pretty good shows and films. and i just want to do what he did. idk why he got into acting but he's doing it, and i just wish i could. i doubt my parents would want me to look into acting now, and i understand why lol. should i play it safe and just go into entertainment as a whole? or should i focus on acting, something i really love, despite everything that comes with that risk?
I’m looking to become a more serious actor, and my film acting teacher recommended me to start improv! This improv class has a bunch of kids who know what they’re doing, and I’m afraid I’m going to make a fool of myself. Improv is technically just having good timing and always knowing what to say....but I’m a bit slow just in general
remembered seeing a post on this sub talking about how easy it is for kids of actors to waltz right into the business whether they have talent or not. then i read [this](https://amp.cinemablend.com/news/2565011/tom-holland-reveals-how-brother-landed-role-sony-spider-man-no-way-home-marvel). ​ https://preview.redd.it/cb30mzwy46q61.jpg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=83d7fad2655f887a76fd6b434a1ab2cf888fce25
I only recently found out actors are listed on RT, not just titles. Just saw that two of my credits are randomly attached to my name, both from TV. Do people add these details, or is it just AI? And why some credits and not others? Does it actually matter to anyone in casting?

What are some good commercial agencies in LA for actors who have only been in the game for less than 2 years?
Hi all, I write horror short stories for my website every other week and I'm looking to expand from just the website and twitter to YouTube as well to attract a larger audience. I am planning on having the audio narrations and a sort of slideshow of spooky pictures (I'm not the best with iMovie), more so people can listen instead of read the stories. I don't currently make any money doing this, so I can't offer payment for the role. I am more looking for a partnership in developing my writing and a "coworker's" voice acting. If profits do come out of the YouTube videos I'd of course split that when the time comes, I was thinking 50/50. You can find my short stories at lawsonray.com. Please feel free to reach out to me if you're interested.
Basically I wanna email a celebrated theatre casting director who is casting for a musical I’d be great for. I’ve written the email itself but I’m unsure what to put in the subject. (Say the CD is called John Smith) FAO John Smith - Actor Submission (OP’s name) Or, Actor Submission - OP’s name Or something else? If it helps I live in the U.K., it’s a British casting director.
i just started a week ago and i need feedback on what i need to improve on. heres the link [Testaudiobookmaster by junesr | June Junior | Free Listening on SoundCloud](https://soundcloud.com/june-junior-511214084/testaudiobookmaster) ​ here's is the excerpt from the book which i typed out becuase i couldnt copy baste " Length refers to the duration of a speech sound achieved without change in its phenetic quality. Since vowel sounds and continuant consonant sounds (nasals, the lateral consonant sound and fricatives) involve a single articulatory position, they could conceivable last as long as a breath can last. The same is true of the glide from one vowel element to another in the creation of a diphthong sound. The lengths of speech sounds are governed by phonetic laws of which most people are unaware; however, an understanding of these laws is essential to the student who wants to speak without a regional dialect or to the person learning to speak English as a second language. Since the lengths of the sounds in a language are the very essence of its rhythms, knowing about them is invaluable for both the student of oral interpretation and for the actor endeavoring to enter the rhythmic life of a character. In this book, and in any general discussion of Spoken English, length refers to the duration of sounds in proportion to one another, rather than to their length in real time. No one is actually going to time the length of a sound with a stop watch. Bear in mind also that even in persons whose speech conforms to one standard of pronunciation, there is a good deal of individual and contextual variation in sound-length and rhythm. In Spoken English, the rules for the length of are many and complex, depending on stress and on what sounds follow within a word. In general, all sounds tend to be... " My questions are: What parts of my speech do i need to work on before it can be comparable to a real "narrator" instead of a random amateur? how much more time should i expect to invest in practicing voice acting before i can expect see any opportunities arise this hobby?
hey !! i’m really serious about my acting career and i’m looking to build up my portfolio and gain experience so ... anyone need an actress? i’m an 19 years old afro-latina.
Hey there so 2 years ago me and a freind of mine made a comedic horror trailer that was kind of a inside joke ive always liked movies but it was when i recieved feedback from the kids at my school that i decided i wanted to be a filmaker now where making a sequal trailer so i can use my new skills ive learned i am looking for a dutch voice actor to narrate the first bit of the trailer as a news reporter preferably for free.
Basically what the title says, I’ve been auditioning for films of all sorts these past few months and I finally get to say that we wrapped up everything on my first ever film set as an actor for a Lead role! All COVID guidelines were followed but I’m just so happy with what we accomplished.
Being an actress is my lifelong dream but lately I’ve been thinking if I will book jobs once I really put myself out there. I’m very insecure with how I look and the prejudice against POCs aren’t really helping my confidence. I used to view Hollywood as the poster-blonde-blue eyed-tall girls land and I’m not that. For years, I’ve struggled with internalized racism. “Why do I look like this?” “Why is my bone structure not as pretty as theirs?” “I wish my hair is blonde/red”.. All of this took a toll on me and this turned me into a more insecure person. Lately, Hollywood is becoming more diverse. Casting more POC, even having an Asian as a lead character. I feel like this slow progress is a good thing but I think there’s still a lot going on behind the scenes. There’s still a lot of POC actors struggling with racism they face. Obviously, I have not experienced the extent of the prejudice they’ve faced but I’ve dealt with some racism in the past. I even used to tell my self I’m hispanic passing. People of color struggles with booking jobs because of the look requirements. Now, I don’t know if this is really true but I get the feeling that it is. I think that people of color, especially Asians, has it harder because most TV shows and movies don’t cast Asians for big roles unless it’s crucial to the plot. Anyway, rant over. I’m just hoping that POCs can really be fully accepted and seeing some POC movie/TV characters gives me hope for the future. I know that achieving this dream will be tough and I’m prepared to face judgements but I just want to be able to act whether it be for a blonde or brunette character. I hope this made sense. Let’s work hard for our dreams <3

I am looking to cast a voice actor for a project I’m working on. The part is a birthday clown, so it’s a more goofy, upbeat type role, not like a scary clown or anything. It’s a very easy part, only 4 lines, and of course I am willing to pay for your services. Please contact me either here or email me: cole.simp32@gmail.com if interested
I don’t mean like filming something because I’m perfectly fine doing that, but taking pictures like with photographers makes me so nervous. Is this normal among actors or just me. Probably just me!
Good day everyone. 19M here. I'm an aspiring actor and an artist, and I wanted to ask about video reels. I've heard that you're supposed to put previous work in your video reel, like participation in student projects. I've applied to be part of many student projects, but after receiving the scripts, I've always been frightened to participate in something that, more often than not, ends up being hella cringey. I don't know the long-term effects it might have on my career. Btw, I'm Lebanese and currently in Lebanon. Beirut (the only modern city and cultural center in Lebanon) got blown up in a port accident recently and now everybody is scared to live or produce there, not to mention rebuild it. I'm a very creative person, and I was wondering if companies, producers, and casting directors would be satisfied with videos I've made on my own? That goes to production as well as storytelling. I have a few ideas, but any badass storylines or idea recommendations would be highly appreciated. I love fantasy fiction and sci-fi shit. From your personal experiences, what exactly goes into a video reel? Please describe what kind of artist you are, and the atmosphere of the people you've worked with who've accepted your video reel. Thanks in advance and best of luck always, everyone!
Hey i’m looking into acting classes in toronto such as ones at LB studies, EVN studios, pro actors lab and armstrong acting academy. I was wondering if any had experience with these especially since it all went virtual, like what’s the lay out of the classes, learning wise, participation wise, how scenes work, critique etc ? thanks

Past tiktok experience would be great, so please PM me your account link if interested.
Hi! I’m a young adult age range actor that’s taken multiple foundations/on-camera/intermediate acting classes and am looking for a scene study classes that’s high quality with a pretty small class size. Which do you have experience with and would you recommend? Some places I’ve been looking into: - Berg studios - Baron Brown - BGB Studios - American Conservatory Theater (Does anyone have experience training here?) Thank you :)
There are six feature films planning to shoot in my state this summer, and I'm interested in auditioning to be in the background of those films, but don't know how to start. Is there a website or something you would recommend? Or do they post on [Indeed.com](https://Indeed.com) or something? Thank you!
I’m not talking about fanmail but more like, how Carey Mulligan sent Julian Fellows letters when she was 18 to ask for him to help her start her career and guide her. Or other cases where actors say they sent emails/letters to celebrities or other established industry folks who could help them. First of all, how the heck do you get them to reply? I can’t imagine most celebrities being interested in replying. Secondly, do these people get the celebrity’s private email/actual address to write a letter to? Or send Instagram DMs? Or through their agents? It’s something that’s always baffled me as I’d be too anxious to message Phoebe Waller Bridge and ask her to mentor me or even give me advice.
I’m moving to nyc soon and hoping to pursue acting as a hobby outside of my job. I’d like to know which parts of nyc have a strong acting community if there are any? Maybe close to some of the classes and whatnot. Let me know :)
Besides acting I am also a low / no budget filmmaker on the side. I can post a breakdown on some boards advertising for a student DP, Editor, Composer etc looking to build their reels and resumes. Is their an Agent equivalent? Someone to scan breakdowns and submit resumes, clips, and headshots to suitable role breakdowns and setup auditions on behalf of an actor? I know they couldn’t negotiate the contract on behalf but are there entry people who help with the legwork for a fee / percentage and experience?
Hello everyone! My name is Mauricio, and it is my first time here (I love how supportive and empathetic most of the people here seem to be of each other). I am making and acting in one episode of a short series I am writing on my own for fun, and I am looking for a couple people who might be interested in joining. Voice recordings (and video recordings - if any) will be totally remote. This will be for fun, and I intend to share it on the Internet when it is ready. I would be happy to talk more to anyone interested! \- Mauricio.
I have some acne scars and it makes me very self conscious as an actor. I wish they showed more actors on television and movies that didn’t have perfect skin!
Taking a zoom acting class, and first assignment out the gate is your standard "Who Am I?" 5-min any format you'd like just make it theatrical autodrama. I am not one who likes talking about myself. I know, I know- WHAT?? An actor that doesn't want to be the center of attention?! As much as I love performing, and using personal experiences to feed what I do, I'm not one to shaaaarrre. What have y'all done for this assignment in past? I've watched ALL sorts on youtube, and am at a "too many creative possibilities" and "how superficial can this be without looking half-assed" brain block. And 5 days til it's due
So I auditioned for the New England Theatre Conference (NETC, similar to SETC, Strawhat, and other cattle call auditions). This past year was the second time I auditioned for NETC and both years, most of my callbacks have consisted of conservatories and summer acting programs. This year, I got a callbacks from Stella Adler and Commonwealth Shakespeare Company for month-long summer acting programs. Have any of you taken part in either of these programs, and if so was the experience worth it? If not, what acting conservatories have you been a part? All in all, is it worth it to pay money to be in a program and will it advance your career as an actor?
Hey guys, first time posting here so I’m not clear whether or not this is the place for it. I was just hoping some of you would have some advice. I play a lot of Modern Warfare and really want to be able to do the Ghost voice from the new actor (Jeff Leach). I’ve heard that it’s good to start with an accent and lower your voice for the desired gravelly effect but I really could use some advice. Anything helps, thank you guys!
hey im a free voice actor. so i will do anything and you don't have to pay me. I am 15. I can do british, american voices etc. i can go really low or mid. I will voice act in animations, short films, games whatever. if you wanna get in touch, email me at: gamingytbenharding@gmail.com

I think as many of you may know, I’m located in South America and got a LA based attorney to work on my work visa. She’s worked with people we all know here in my country, so I trust her with my life. I’m not going to say his name, but one of her clients plays a main cowboy robot on a huge HBO show you all know. I still need a manager for that though, which is something that I’ll need to get on my own (you’ve prob noticed how crazy that is driving me too) and through networking in small events and making LA based friends while I travel to take acting classes for a couple months. And by the way, I’m thinking Lee Strasberg in Fall 2021 if things are back to “normal”. And yeah, that’s really necessary because here we don’t have managers, only agents and literally only two agencies have connections abroad, but they only represent a very exclusive list of A list actors that have been around since before I was born. Anyway, I’ve been following my attorney’s advice on things that would be important to get done and got a publicist here which is just great because since my latest work on TV, I’ve got interviews and articles written about me, and most recently they helped me get verified on Instagram. That being said, I wonder if that’s gonna help at all with self submissions to managers! Because although people in the LA industry aren’t watching our productions, which I assume that makes it hard for agents/managers to say how big some foreign actor is, at least they’re seeing that’s someone not only booking but also in the public eye in their country. And I believe that plays a huge role on all this, right?! So that’s my question. What do you guys think? Do you think that helps me at all? I’ve been using IMDBpro a lot these past few months and made a list of managers that have foreign actors now based in LA on their roster. For example, actor Chris Mason on PLL:Perfectionists and Riverdale. He had a few credits in the UK and is now repped by 3 Arts Entertainment in LA. Obviously I don’t know whether his situation was an industry referral or his agent had connections at this management office, but you know, that’s what I’ve been doing... searching for foreign actors in every legit manager’s list. Actors that definitely weren’t huge celebrities in their home country, but booked in big TV productions and had some media buzz. Personally, I do find the social media presence stuff silly, but I think there’s definitely an importance to it right now, especially for 20-somethings like me. Last week for example, I did a shooting with a very popular photographer here. He posted the photos on his IG and this very famous actress that has worked with him a lot of times commented and followed me that same day. Considering that I didn’t have an IG account until a little before the pandemic hit, I do think that’s kind of cool.
looking for someone who can do an indian accent to record about 2-3 minutes worth from a script I've written for a youtube video. I'll pay $10. if intrested reply in comment or dm thx.
We’ve heard it time and time again: “the odds are one in a million”, “if there’s anything else you can think of doing, do that”, “most actors don’t make it”, etc. What I’m curious about is how true these statements actually are. Specifically, how true it is for actors that actually move to LA and pursue acting full-time, CONSISTENTLY. I feel like it’s not so slim for the actors that stick with it and work towards it on a daily/weekly basis for years. It can’t be that slim if you’re actually putting in that kind of effort. It can’t be that impossible to become a working actor (not necessarily famous, but getting to the point of acting for a living) if you’re fully dedicated to it. I feel like when people say most actors don’t really get anywhere, it could actually just mean the actors that try and give up, just pursue it part time, or don’t work at it consistently for years. What do you guys think?
I heard that actors mostly audition in the day and have to work at a night job. Is that true? Do B-list and C-list have an extra job in case they haven’t gotten any roles? How can a person become an A-list actor? I ain’t an actor so yeah, forgive me LOL
Hey everyone. Paranoid actor question here. I just recently had a self tape for a tv show and turned it in to my manager yesterday. Rewatching it again I just...am not vibing with it... I was after I did it. I even kind of liked it? I wanted to get it finished quick since casting had a quick turnaround but now questioning if I should have let the sides settle in my brain first for at least the next day before jumping into the video right away. I felt so confident when I got my sides. A very “I got this” attitude. But now watching it it’s just...ehhh. I asked my friend who read it with me what he thought after watching it. All he could comment was how great the video lighting and sound was. (Ok thanks...) So, I just asked him directly “did it suck?” He hasn’t responded... I’m not defensive at all with critiques. I WANT people to tell me if I suck when I really do, but I’m just feeling like crap now thinking I sent out a terrible take. How do you guys deal with stuff like this? It’s so weird because I’m not like this all the time. For some reason this audition really got to me. :( Thanks!
Hi all! So many actors and actresses have changed their names throughout history, right? Well I assume it’s because they just felt as if their birth names didn’t have much star quality to them in how they sound. So I’m just curious to know if any of you here have had the same thought in mind, and have already or will eventually do the same if they do or have chosen to pursue acting as a career? I personally wish to do just that once I feel as though I’ve nailed the right first and last name for myself, but while I’ve been thinking of a name for a very long time now, I’m also a little worried about wanting to change my name from there too. What if I don’t like this name after a little while? What then? I don’t want to change my name a million times haha. I’d love to just have a great name that works well with me as a person you know? But nothing that’s too common or whatever. I suppose I should be a little more clear... If any of you have changed your names for this career pathway specifically, do you ever use your old name? Do you keep your new name a secret to people that are unaware of your desire to become an actor or actress? Do your friends or family use your birth name while on jobs you use the new one? Is it hard to go from one name to another after so many years of living? Is it difficult to get used to? Or do you ever get lost in who you are as a person? Because I don’t really feel like I have a real sense of identity anyways, which is why I’m more comfortable in the idea of changing my name... I guess I have a lot of questions about this really. And being tired while typing it surely doesn’t help because I’m just typing what comes to mind I feel. But really, this whole idea of changing your name because of a dream is understandable to me. I just don’t understand the after effects of the struggles of doing it. Or anything else really... Sorry for maybe not making as much sense as I could have. I’m just rambling now. Any stories or comments are well appreciated though! Have a pleasant day!
Hi, bit of a newer actor here. Recently, I've landed my first paid role: a part for my university's psych lab. I've always wanted to act beyond school productions and self-made youtube videos (mostly rants and old sketches), and I think this is a good first step. Maybe I'm not working with agents yet, but I'm getting my feet wet and getting some footage and material that isn't my own! The question I have is: should I put this on my basically non-existent reel? The role is basically going to be me giving a lecture. Besides that and clips from a 48 hr festival I plan on participating in, I don't have much else I'd put on a reel at the moment. And if I should put this on my reel, my follow up question would be how should I go about asking for clips? My guess is that they're not going to be publishing these videos, so I think I'd have to ask if I want a cut or some clips.
I'm going to Niagara college for a 2 year diploma I live 2 hours from Toronto in Canada so getting connections is difficult for an actor. I'm trying to learn voice over and build relationships in the industry and make some friends with similar interests. I can commute from my parents so it's really inexpensive and ill graduate at 17. I'm wondering if I'm making the right call going into this or if my judgment is terrible.
I want to apply to a job that's non-union. It calls for a person 5'5" to 5'9". I'm 5'3". Can I still apply anyway? If they liked my self-tape, would they still throw me out? The lines on 17 y/o actors are very vague. I want to travel alone. This project would be shooting for 1-2 months, and I definitely don't have anyone that could go with me. There's only 1 person I could think of that might (in my family), 1 person who's like family. Could I go by myself? Could I go with someone who isn't a guardian or parent so long as they have permission? It is based in California. I'd have to travel, but it says those fees would be reimbursed. I've heard there's a test you can take in CA that allows 17 y/o to take on the professional guidelines of 18 y/o so they can travel alone, but thoughts? I don't know if I'd be able to take that test. Any other states that do this? Since the project is NU, does it even matter since these are mostly SAG guidelines? EDIT: it's union and non-union

Or do some people just leave notices up past when they plan to cast people?
I’m a new actress, I’ve taken 2 intro courses through a local performance arts school in my area. I’ve done a lot of background work in film and tv. However no speaking roles and I know they womt care about this. I have headshots and a very small resume. My issue is that every posting I see where they are looking for actors requires a demo reel! Even small student productions are asking for this. So I am struggling to understand how I am supposed to land even a tiny speaking role when everyone wants much more experienced actors.
like Heath Ledger of The Joker, or Evan Peters of Kai Anderson in American Horror Story. They both really suffered after these shows, since they portray psycho characters. But why? Isn’t it’s just acting? i’m genuinely interested how does acting affect your mental health since i never had to do it before
Ok so listen to this guys, I'm feeling incredible at the moment. I've been in the southeast for 2.5 years busting my nuts to get my foot in the door after Uni. I found my favorite of the top 3 agencies in the area early on and sent an audition, to which they responded that "It's a no, but not necessarily because of your audition. Please take local classes and get familiar with the industry here, and resubmit in 9 months." Ok got it. I took workshop after workshop feeling like I was wasting my money because I felt I was learning nothing new, and worse, every intensive with a CD or agent led to almost zero notes, and lots of "who's your agent? You don't have one? Interesting." Then radio silence, and I kept taking intensives until my resubmission day... It was March 25 2020. Damn it. Covid happened, and they said they are NOT considering anybody until 2021. So fine, I said. I'll keep going at it and try to impress them with my dedication. Cue another intensive with a program that is a pay to play "get seen" with agents. You'd have the host, we'll call him J, and the agent, who I'll call P. P was another one the agents I had on my radar but weren't my first choice. Cue auditions happening from my peers. I mean no disrespect, but they were a bit dull, and J and P were very willing to tear into them. My tape went last. I was excited to hopefully make their day with my hard work I put into my audition. They literally did not even watch. I saw J on his laptop and P scrolling on freaking social media the ENTIRE TIME. I paid $110 to be insulted. To which upon both contrasting takes being finish they say without hesitation "those were completely identical. Are you even trying?" - P " y'know what guys this is a prime example of why southeast actors will never be as good as LA actors. If I'm bored watching your tape, that's a bad sign. If you can't improve your audition quality, please save everyone the time and quit. Just quit." - J I was fucking baffled and livid, obviously, and feeling like a complete loser. However, the headshot/resume I sent Jan 1st to my top agency responded with a 24 hour deadline audition 1 week after this horrible intensive. "Fuck this guy, J. I'm gonna prove him wrong." And I gave it my best shot. 2 days later I get an email. "Call me." With a phone number. I called, they answered. And they said they'd love to represent me. My first agent, and my favorite at that! You know what they said? They said of all the auditions they voted on with the entire team present, mine was one of the fastest auditions to go through, with a unanimous YES all around with ZERO debate. She told me to tell my mom (I said I'm calling her pronto lol) that I was the definition of a slam dunk for their agency. After thanking her profusely I bawled my fucking eyes out for a solid hour in a Kroger parking lot and more periodically throughout the day. I still wanna cry now it's such a fucking victory. Fuck J, and P, and anyone who tries to bring you beautiful people down. Win the ones who matter with hard work and never give up on doing your best. Thank you all so much for reading my tale. ❤ Break legs! (For context on the streep comment a CD once said ahe was too ugly to ever be on screen.) Or so I believe.
Hey guys! I’m considering either getting new headshots with Phil Sharp, Faye Thomas or Yellowbelly Photography. However Phil Sharp is SO expensive (he quoted me a four figure number. I don’t understand how it’s possible to charge actors this much!!) and yet he’s the most well regarded in the industry. Have you got any other suggestions? Or thoughts?
Hey everyone, ​ So, I am an actor and filmmaker in L.A, I have worked on stage, TV and film throughout the years. I am also heavy into fitness and using the body to fuel creativity. I just wanted to offer actors in L.A on the sub my actor's physical training sessions. [The details are here](https://thebestyoucanbepersonaltraining.wordpress.com/actors-and-musicans-physical-training/) but the program is for getting out of your head, into your body and truly using your body as an instrument. I have never liked body movement classes as they seem to airy fairy. My sessions get down to the nitty gritty and for you to get a better performance. Have a great day!
Am I just too shy to be an actress? I'm a young girl who has anxiety, more specifically social anxiety. I've always wanted to be an actress, however, I have no experience whatsoever. My race is also against me, I'm Asian. I am aware that acting may be hard, but am I just not suit to do it?
By the time I have booked an audition, I got something else booked for the date planned for the call back. I wanted to tell them at the audition but it went so fast (like three minutes) that I couldn’t fit it in the conversation. It’s a small five line actor role on a low budget short film so I am not even sure that there will be a callback for that or that they will consider me for a call back. I don’t want to cancel my day on set because I will get in trouble if cancel, the five day continuity implied that I had to be there on that day, and a 12 hours day as a background performer already pays more than a small role on this type of low budget production. If I do get a call back, how should I tell them that I am already on another set? Are there any ways I can make this work? Asking to reschedule? Doing it during dinner? Sending them a self-tape? Or just say I can’t make it because I was booked on something else by the time they booked me? Thank you!
Weeee, you found me!
I'm your buddy Bottie, I was hiding behind the scenes, but now that you've found me I'd be happy to tell you what I'm doing.
