So I currently have no video media on my actors access, and i think it would help me a lot if I added a video. I'm between these two clip (im the guy in plaid): Clip 1: https://youtu.be/MuSuyA-q3z4 Clip 2: https://youtu.be/1V_3uDkjbXQ So yeah, which one should I add? Should I add both? Should I cut one of them down? Do they both suck and should I not add either? Please be honest! Thanks yall! Also, shameless plug for where these clips came from: https://www.instagram.com/roninnightsfilm/ Its a spec TV pilot about car drifting with anime themes, and it was a blast to work on :)
I’ll start. Hattie McDaniel. Changed Hollywood forever for the better and didn’t do it as an ingenue. Kathy Bates. Love her so so much. Bridget Everett. Her performance in Patti Cake$ was heartbreaking, which leads me to Danielle MacDonald. Killed it in Patti Cake$. I’m just now realizing all of these women are plus size and that I have some ingrained fatphobia to work on. Lots of OITNB cast members. SNL cast members too. Maya Rudolph, Leslie Jones, Rachel Dratch, to name a few.
I have alopecia where the hair follicles are scarred. The follicles have been closing but I've been trying a dermaroller to combat this. Not consistently though. I want to know if I should just give up and be bald because if I let it grow it doesn't suit me well marketing wise. At the same time I feel I will lose out on alot of roles because actors with hair get those certain roles. What say you?
So I’m watching Wonder Woman 84 and disliked it. Started listening to some reviews who praise Gal Gadot (and praised her for her solo movie) but had a different tune during the sequel. Now, excluding just the external parts like writing, directing, etc, and just taking in other actor’s roles, presented me this question: When is it just bad casting or can an actor be flat out bad? What makes a performance bad, what makes a character bad, and what makes an actor bad?
So I live in Brisbane, Australia. Definitely not the hub for film & television. I've been spending lots of time taking a look at different actors agents on IMDB Pro. The most common Agency I see across lesser known actors to very famous actors is William Morris Agency. How would I get into a well known, 'A-List' agency? I do keep in mind that in order for ANY agency, big or small, they have to like me, because if they don't think I'm very good and therefore won't get roles, they won't make money. I'm just still stuck on what the hell I say or do to find and get an agent, especially in Brisbane.
This is for people who ever thought of wanting to go to America straight away to "chase their dream". No matter how very limiting the visa options are in terms of requirements, it's favoring us as an alien entering the United States. Acting is an expensive dream without any guarantee of success, unless you are, of course, extraordinary, and in order for you to be considered as such by the government officials who might eventually give you your visa, you have to prove that: - You have been in a leading role or starring role of a successful production or be a major part of a successful production such as its director, screenwriter, producer, etc. Hence you will be: - Paid more than those in your fields/have a high salary. And when you got those things combined you will have: - Articles talking about you, having your name be mentioned in an article, etc. Meaning you would have bagged at least a decent enough experience to get yourself: - An agent or a manager willing to be a beneficiary for the visa. And once you have all of that in your pocket you need to: - Have upwards to $7000 in order to get your visa. So basically it ensures that we won't be living a miserable life in USA. When you have experience and land yourself a good agent, you will be able to go to a good audition and if your skills are any good, land a decent role which will pay you enough. It also ensures that we're actually rich enough to sustain ourselves without having a day job, thus we could focus on going to auditions and honing our crafts. Does it feel limiting? Yes, because it is. >"But what if I live in a country where they wouldn't give a lead role unless you have massive social media followers or if you're a YouTube star, etc?" Feels unfair, doesn't it? But that's the showbiz, A BUSINESS, and business needs to make a lot of money, and you know who could make you a lot of money? A person who's proven to be "marketable", meaning those who have found success in their endeavor with social medias and streaming services. >"But most of them are good looking! And I'm not?" You know what else is HIGHLY MARKETABLE? A good look. But one that's also accompanied with TALENT AND SKILLS. In other terms, you need to be "extraordinary". And no, there are people who aren't good looking that are still famous, and those are " extraordinary " too. Be this second one if you can't be the first one. >"But the showbiz won't make exceptions for my religion/belief/etc?" Find a neighboring country which doesn't need a visa to work in, and start your career over there. All in all, the restrictions (or requirements, you choose what to call it) are there to save us from having to go from scratch. So for those who would like to go to the states? Start now. Nothing is impossible and you need perseverance, but you'll get there one day. Oh, and... #Acting isn't for those whose goal are to become famous.
Hello all, I am planning to hire voice actors to record short voice clips for a game. I have checked the libraries and resources for sample scripts, but I am not a voice actor (alas) so I don’t have a good sense of what the difference is between a script that makes you nod and say “right, I get what they are looking for” vs. one that makes you want to tear your hair out. I would be grateful for recommendations to sample short scripts (and/or tips) that make your jobs easier! If context helps, the script I am drafting is one where each in a series of 30-60 second voice messages is played as the player makes progressive choices in a story branch.
Like the title says, I'm looking for actors who shoot their own material to create a reel. I'm currently at a point where I could use a reel but don't have one, partially due to not having received any footage from the short and student films I acted in yet. I looked into reel companies and while I have the financial means to go that route, I'm not so sure if it's really worth it (I heard mixed things about how they are perceived by CDs). So, now I'm wondering if I should ask some of my actor friends to join forces and write and produce our own reel material (not sure how that is received by CDs haha). I personally only know people who created their reel with reel companies, so I'm hoping to find some people here who produced their own material on best practice tips. Like, what would I need in terms of equipment, did you pay someone to edit your footage, did you specifically write scenes for a reel or did you go all the way to shoot a short or maybe even feature film and used your best scenes for the reel? I think I would benefit from actually producing my own reel, especially since I'm working on a script for a short, I just have absolutely no experience behind the camera and with everything technical going into it and would appreciate any feedback/tips/ideas/best practices etc. Oh, and if anyone is interested in collaborating for short films, feel free to DM me! (Should've added my location, I'm in LA.) Thank you :)
I am thinking of making an app that lets actors act together as animated characters in real-time. Basically, it would be like Apple's Animoji's but you could record scenes together, import scripts, etc... This is not a money making thing, I just want to see if there is interest in being able to work out scenes and practice together in this manner. I could see it being useful for table reads perhaps too.
I have an opportunity to present/teach/work with kid and adult actors in a smaller town for a local theater company who want to learn more about acting. I will have at least 4 hours for kids and a separate 4 hours for adults. *I’m wondering what you wish you knew early in your acting career/life that may have helped you get further faster or become a more confident performer.* I am planning on touching base with the concepts of memorization, listening, atmosphere, movement and dialogue. Any additional ideas are welcome! Thanks!
Hi everyone! I'm a 17 years old girl and I'm currently in my first year of university in Europe. I want to be an actress. I'm pretty sure I will get to play a role soon. I still have to do a last meeting but from what the casting directors told me and my parents I should have it (the meeting is to confirm their choice and discuss some details) It's for a movie that will be released in movie theaters and after that on tv by one of the top distributors in my country and it's produced by a well know production. The role I will play is not the lead but it is an important one and I will have 30 days of shooting. My question is, can I except to get an agent and maybe other roles after that? Or will I go back to my daily life? Would this be enough to launch my career and make things easier for me? Of course I'm not talking about becoming a superstar or stuff like that just having opportunities and maybe make a living out of it. Idk what to expect.
*Hi!* My name is **Andre**. Only a few of my acting friends on Discord, and that's mainly because of video games and work. Discord is great to run lines together, work on scripts together, meet, practice improv. I want more acting friends to talk to on Discord! I like meeting new creative types, and I'd like to make some friends i can actually talk about plays with. If you're on Discord, send me a friend request: ***PUNCHiE#9914*** I'm on there every day for work and stuff. So just shoot me a message!
I'm studying to be an actor but my hair's blonde. Like reeeaally blonde. Literally almost white.. And I think if you have brown hair there's more open roles/chance to get a role. Do male actors dye their hair for roles?
I know agents submit on breakdowns but this pulls info from your actors access profile right? I'm looking at an agent's website and they have all of their talent's actors access accounts linked but most seem outdated, would this be where their primary resume/reel is or is that on another profile. Just trying to see the level of talent/number of credits at said agency. TY!
I don't know how i'm going to get any role that isn't hidden in the background. I am an aspiring theatre actress. The problem is that my appearance screams "little ingenue/sweet innocent girl next door" character, but my voice is very deep. My singing is deep, too - I can fairly easily sing as low as the highest male voice. How do I overcome this to get a role in any kind of musical? No directors like me because I sound too smoky/brassy/low but I also don't easily look like a "evil" character or a man (unless its a young boy; think Cherubino from the opera The Marriage of Figaro). I am absolutely tiny (5 ft) I love singing Phantom of the Opera songs, but not as Christine Daae, as the Phantom himself. Another example is sounding fine singing Curly's songs from Oklahoma, but I could never sing Laurie. Is there anything I can do? Learn to fake my tone of voice a la brittney spears? Change up my look?
I've been contemplating on getting an MA/MFA in acting/theatre next year (or whenever this covid situation gets better, the sooner the better), but I would like to know an inside opinion for this, since I'm going to be an international student. Is RADA great? Between RADA and Yale, which one should I go to? Which offers a more natural style of acting, in terms of what they taught? Which one will help me the most on connecting with the right people? Also if I already have the requirements to file an O-1B/Tier 5, should I just skip MA/MFA or should I just do it first, then launch my career abroad after I finish it, changing my visa from F1 to O1/Tier 4 to Tier 5? Thanks for the help, actors of Reddit. I wish you all the best in your journeys!
Which actors/actresses inspire you? I'll start. I love Aubrey Plaza, Henry Cavill, and Tom Hiddleston. Amazing actors, amazing people. What about you?
I found this MGMT on Instagram and they represent a lot of actors that are indeed booking, some with verified accounts even. But I’m not sure if they’re legit because they posted that they also represent tik tokers now, so...
Title of this post is a little confusing, I didn’t know exactly how to word it. Basically I graduated recently with a degree in Communications but have struggled to find work I won’t absolutely abhor (while potentially trying to pursue acting, I’m taking a class right now to get back into it). I realized that with as much as I love tv/film and storytelling/creative work, I could potentially mesh that with my degree to find work in the industry to make money and gain experience. At the same time, it would offer a behind the scenes, new perspective on how things are done and help me build up connections too (because connections are everything). Is this a good idea? Because I really need to work and I think I’d actually enjoy this kind of work (and am even applying to positions right now!), but also I am interested in acting and wonder if I could essentially help get myself into the industry by at least starting to work in it in other positions. Or would it be too difficult to break from non-acting/production type work to be seen as an actor too?
I want to become an actress really badly and I’m willing to take classes and practice my heart out. The only thing is, I’m religious and come from a religious family and I can’t do nudity or sex scenes. Is it possible for me to make it far with these restrictions?
Hey guys. Anyone has a good recommendation of a coach for online one-on-one sessions? I’d love to know from foreign actors in the US because I want to work on the American accent.
Hey people. Im a dentist from Turkey, just opened my own practice in the West Coast, doing mostly dental tourism. Have seen a couple posts here, especially young people who think their teeth is negatively effecting their chance of progressing in their careers. I need a couple people to do a photoshoot for my advertisement, and the new virus and lockdown in UK prevented my plan A from happening. So my offer is, I will give someone a smile makeover(veneers or crowns, implants, whatever needed) who is willing to cover their expenses (flights, hotel, and lab costs). For a photoshoot. Just the face will be seen, nothing else. Everyone is welcomed to shoot me a DM. I dont discriminate any race, religion or gender. Have a nice one.
Any actors currently attending UK drama schools? How has covid impacted the classroom setting? I'm currently applying to UK Master's programs in acting overseas in the UK but I'm questioning whether the pandemic has negatively impacted the drama school setting. I live in Chicago btw. I doubt things will be back to normal by this fall. I've always wanted to train over there in classical acting. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Hi! So I’m in a bit of an unusual predicament. I’m an aspiring Egyptian actress who’s a hijabi. The thing is, I can’t really work in Egypt because the film/TV industry here will absolutely not give any chances to hijabi actresses, and nepotism is almost the only way any young actor gets big roles here. Everyone I’ve talked to who works in the acting industry in Egypt keeps telling to take off my hijab if I want to work (which is not gonna happen), so I’ve almost given up hope on acting here. Side note: we don’t have agents in Egypt. I did a lot of theatre at university, but I haven’t been able to get a single audition since I graduated (about a year ago), so I’m thinking I might have a better chance of at least getting auditions in the US or the UK (you know, because they’re trying to be more diverse). My English is pretty fluent and my theatre program at university was mostly in English, so language isn’t a problem for me. But I can’t afford to move abroad, and it’d be difficult to get a visa anyway if I don’t already have guaranteed work there. Would it be possible for me to get an agent in the US/UK and just do self-tape auditions? Isn’t that what everyone’s doing during COVID anyway? And then maybe if I get cast in something, I’d be able to get a visa and then move? (I know, it really sounds like wishful thinking). I know I’d have very limited options, but would any agency even give me the time of day? I’d appreciate if anyone could give me any advice on what to do because I’m feeling very lost and discouraged.
I'm 15 years old and aspire to be an actor. My father is in the film business and wants me to attend drama school eventually, if I want to be an actor. Therefore I'm curious as to what one needs to do to prepare for drama school. I hate to say it, but taking classes would be tough, due to lack of time. I also live in Europe and don't get a chance to act much in school. I have however had some experience on stage in my former school from ages 7-12 in front of around 300 people , not all entailing acting, however this experience has made me comfortable on stage. Currently I'm reading books about acting( meisner, esper etc.) and plays. As to which schools I would like to attend, the schools are mainly in the United Kingdom. Therefore I would like to get advice from people who've had experience with drama school, especially in the uk. I'm also curious where everybody auditioned for and which ones they attended and what advice you could give me moving forward. Thank you!
Hi guys. I've never done voice acting but it's been a lifetime wish to do it. Finally I wanna get serious and give it my best. At the moment, I only have a shitty Steelseries Arctis 3 mic so I'm looking into buying one. Since it's my first try in voice acting, and im also a student, I'm looking for the most budget friendly mic possible. I'm studying in Slovenia so mics like Fifine aren't really available here. I'm also going to go for a USB mic (I know yall hate that) but I just need something to get me started. So the microphones I've considered: Razer Seiren Mini - about 60 euro, Behringer C1U USB - 35 euro, Superlux E205UMKII - 54 euro, Lewitz C100USB-W - 55 euro. I'm looking for the most bang for buck. I'm going to start working soon (not as a voice actor), so I'm going to do voice acting as a hobby, but if I get any luck in it, or if I get better, I'm definitely going to invest more money into a microphone. I'm also probably going to try streaming sometime, so the microphone should be good enough for that too. If none of these are considerable, I can link the sites from where you can see which mics are available. Thank you in advance!
Hi, can anyone explain what the following acting terms/words mean? I've heard them loads and dont quite get what they mean. SAG/non-SAG (is that a thing??) Union and non-union SAG-AFTRA and whats the actors guild? what does it do? are there any other terms i should know if i want to go into film/tv acting?
Hello Everyone, I'm just getting started as a voice actor, I have been in some things but nothing I would call serious, think parody's and support roles on YouTube videos. I am looking for some advice on how and where to find more jobs and opportunities.
hi, i’m 16 and looking to getting into acting. i’m looking for acting classes at the moment, but I am still learning about the industry. do you have a chance at being a successful actress if you are not a 9/10 in looks? most of the actresses you see in larger screen productions (which would be my preferred medium) are really good looking. i am not - i’d call myself around a 6 out of 10, so not exactly on the standard of most successful actresses. i don’t particularly want to be type cast as being an ugly girl, but is this unavoidable?
First time poster, longtime dreamer. I've been wanting do be a voice over artist for as long as I can remember now. Back in 2004, my best friend and I made a bet to see if we could audition and make it to the advanced choir class for our eighth grade year. (We were in the advanced band class, so we made fun of the idea.) Unfortunately, he didn't pass the audition and explained that he was happier in band anyways. I on the other hand, had to make a decision and discuss with our music teacher my possible transition from band to choir. It was a difficult topic because all of my friends played instruments at the time with myself at the tuba. Which made it an even more difficult talk on my teacher as I was the bass/base of the advanced band. It was decided, I'd start in the Advanced choir the following year. Things changed for me, I had a voice that people liked and they wanted to hear more of it. I was shy as hell at first, but I soon broke out of my shell. It followed me throughout high school as well when I joined the choir there. My teacher heard and saw a lot from me and wanted more for me. And it took me only until last year to realize that I wanted more too. I wanted to do something with my voice and make a living out of it. As a kid, like most of you, I was raised by a television due to both of my parents working and leaving my siblings and I to be looked after by our grandparents. Cartoons, sitcoms, music videos, movies, and old video games were at my disposal and I took well advantage of it. I'd listen to the voices and try to imitate the characters on the screen. I would play a game where I'd try to match a voice of a character from one show and compare them to a character from another channel/show. (i.e. "I know that voice!") For too long now, I've let everything get in the way of my dream and I've made too many excuses. I want to be a voice actor. I want to be able to bring life to a character that someone could either learn from or love to hate. I've taken a few classes through online zoom sessions from our local acting school that was taught by Aliki Theofilopoulos. I was hooked, and I still am. So world, be ready, because I am going to be doing my best to get myself out there and making my voice heard. Thank you if you've made it this far into my rambling. I just want to be able to build up a demo reel so I can have something to get me through the door. If you have any advice to give, please feel free to message me or leave a comment, or whatever you feel is best! \-BIGG\_KAT **tl;dr version:** I wanna make a career out of my voice and enjoy what I want to do because everybody deserves a chance at their dream.
I can't seem to find anything on Youtube, does anyone know where I can find somethine like this? Is anyone familiar with a series of videos or something similar that touch on this subject? Maybe some interviews in which actors are asked these types of questions, I don't know. Thanks!
best way to email/contact an agent if you are new to the industry... with few or no credits and little training... can you appeal with ambition and proof of intro zoom classes? i began this journey after covid hit so in person training and opportunities have sucked... tips?? i know 'the steps' and i get its nearly (nearly) impossible to stand out this way or get representation with little experience, but i bet some agent/cd somewhere is willing to budge! can you appeal to a CD like this too?
What are you paying for covered california coverage? For unemployed people, I'm getting differing quotes for monthly costs, $75- 200 roughly.
I am sort of chubby, and I'm scared my weight will interfere with my ability to get lead roles in theatre. I feel like the only way I'll be noticed as an actor is if I weigh less. It's always super embarrassing when I have to put my weight on a resume. Any advice? And, no, I don't want those comments like "Ur so beautiful!!!! dont change urself evr!!!!". I understand that its kind of a bad thing to want to change myself, but I'm asking for advice not compliments that are illogical since yall don't even know what I look like.
i was wondering if anyone here could explain how UBCP / ACTRA works from the perspective of a foreigner...? (also are UBCP and ACTRA the same thing....?) let's say a SAG member (someone who's an American national) gets cast in an ACTRA production. i know there are people that are in ACTRA as well as SAG. are there any benefits to joining foreign unions...? (id assume they'd still have to jump through the loopholes of getting a visa to work, and etc.) this was something that i never thought of, knew that there were members of both, but recently came across my mind as to how joining a foreign union would help. (although i've mentioned ACTRA, i explicitly use the phrase "foreign union: cause im assuming there might be similar instances and other actors unions in other countries. if anyone has any experience with anything of the sort, i'd be interested to know!)
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.
Hey, I'm looking for someone that could do a voice over for my horror stories. You would have to go slow. The horror stories could be wherever between 400 - 700 words. My needs : \-Someone with a deep voice \-looking forward to work long term \-good mic Pricing: I was thinking somewhere between 10$ for each story. Since I’m planning to work long term with you, I cannot pay you more at the early stages of development. I need 10 stories for now. Which I would pay 100$ for. Let me know if you have any questions, or would be willing to work with me!
I just learned that you could actually get an O-1 visa if your agent become a beneficiary for you and that's how most international actors got theirs. Learned it on a site for Australian actors. So actors who have knowledge of this or have experience in this, it is actually possible for agents to pick you up first then issued an O-1B petition for you afterwards, no? It's getting an agent that's the hardest part?
I see more and more representation of minority races onscreen - what do you think of the current industry climate in terms of diversity, are you at an advantage being POC/mixed race?
I've tried, hundreds of times. I just can't do it. I'm not one of those people that understands Shakespeare's text at all, it feels like I'm reading gibberish and it's always a hassle to finish a sentence. I know there are some actors like Joaquin Phoenix that have never read Shakespeare, but I know almost every talented actor has had some classical training involving Shakespeare. I've tried using websites like No Fear Shakespeare, but I still feel like an idiot reading the text's translations and because of that I don't enjoy the story as much. I really want to like and understand Shakespeare, but it is very difficult for me. Can I be a good actor if I can't even understand Shakespeare? Does anyone have any tips? Much appreciated!
At some point I know that if I want to make a living as a professional actor moving to L.A or NYC will have to be a must but, right now I cannot afford such a luxury. I’m just wondering if there is any other big U.S cities besides those with cheaper rent and less competition worth moving to.
Hi everyone! I am a new voice actor and I'm just about ready to start trying out for some gigs, but I wanted to know more about what the process is like for everyone else. What I mean by this is, assuming that you've finished soundproofing/buying a microphone and are good to go for recording, what process do you do to record lines, edit the clips, compile the clips to send? Specifically, can you tell me more about the routine that you go through while recording and also the editing process? I'm brand new and I don't know anything about the process, so any tips are appreciated!
I just read "A Practical Handbook for the Actor" and it really made sense to me. I feel like it will be my main resource moving forward. I have learned so much from lots of different books and various YouTube videos etc. I'm keen to know, what has worked best for you? What did you like about it?
For many years, I've had a speech disability. No matter how I speak I always have issues in some way. I do sometimes get criticism on my Gaming Youtube channel for my narration style although not as often as my ToastMaster meetings. The reason being is because my content I write is more informative rather than trying to voice act or roleplay or live act a character. Is the speech unbearable/unlistenable? Depends on who you ask but it's for the most part average. I've been thinking since the 2020 lockdown to maybe get into acting. However, I feel that my speech disability is holding me back. It's not like I'm inexperienced at narration or public speaking. It's also not like I'm "nervous" with anything. It's just I have trouble gathering my thoughts most of the time. I tend to say words in a choppy manner. I really don't know how I can get into acting if I never get rid of this speech disability. Does anyone have a speech disability but still became a serviceable actor?
Additional question: if you live in cities that production companies film in for tax breaks are you ever hired (aka local talent)? Or are actors always hired from people based in la or New York? I don’t have an agent and I’ve only seen postings for extras so not sure if they are ever casting characters in local markets.
I've been rapping for a couple years and I'm about to release my first EP, as well as maybe 6 to 10 other songs this spring. I consider myself pretty skilled and genuine but I do occasionally rap about substances, hypersexuality and the usual macho shit (since I live in the midst of it). I'm also about to graduate from a credible university with an arts degree. I just worry that because I'm Caucasian and more distant from the culture, my image could be dictated by my music rather than who I am otherwise. Should I really be concerned before people might even know about me and my music or should I carefully consider social media images, etc.? Do casting directors and agents consider it much? Is there a difference between how LA and NYC reps perceive artists trying to act? I also wonder if my music could further define me as a potential actor in a positive way for role eligibility. Or, if the music doesn't pick up steam, that it might be entirely irrelevant.
[That Circus Show](https://youtu.be/jOzunfHvqgw) is all about navigating the industry through the lens of a working actor. It will contain personal experiences, interviews and AMAs. I’m rounding up as many questions as I can in hopes having some of them answered and I know a lot of us here have a lot of questions. So, what are your questions? Anything from *what’s your worst audition experience*, to *what’s the deal with agents never getting back to me?*. Or maybe even *how did you find your type and play into it?*.
After a meeting with a CD I learned my agent very rarely picks up the phone to pitch actors so I’m now on the hunt for a new one. Does anyone know of forums specifically for LA actors to talk shop?
In terms of my appearance, I’m neither pretty nor ugly. I’m smack in the middle. I’m neither skinny nor fat (maybe by the industry’s standards I am) and I’m not curvy. I’m a good actor, but there’s nothing about me that makes a strong first impression. How do you make a mark when you’re exceptionally average on a surface level?
I’ve been with my agent since October 2019. I had an audition for a network tv show for basically a co star role (creature on a sci-fi show) and then a regional commercial that was interested in booking me off my headshot in the same week (Jan 2020). Didn’t book the costar and my commercial booking fell through in negotiations. Since then I have gotten one audition in august I didn’t hear anything from past an initial request to tape. I see people signed want agent booking with similar looks and age ranges to me without me being asked to even read for these roles. I haven’t asked for a submission report as I’m deathly afraid of her. She’s very strict on who can contact her when and frequently complains about her actors contacting her. I’m not even sure she’s submitting me. I know it’s a pandemic since March but she’s posted about booking the entire time and I just want to know if I should move on and find a new agent. Is her behavior typical? Even for a boutique agency in the SE? She has no one else to work with her, she is the sole agent of her agency of about 200-250 clients.
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.
