hey all -- i'm a struggling actor, trying to make it (and by it i mean just get whatever jobs i can find, really) and recently i've been shortlisted for an audition for an original, site specific play. the only problem is, i have genuinely no idea what the audition material is saying. it's not a monologue, written in the "you" pronoun, and i'm just at a loss. i've been reading this material over and over, and i can't seem to understand it. i've emailed the company but they're telling me to just "follow" my creativity. any advice? should i give this work a pass? here is the text i have to memorise and perform, word for word: **With a nat 20, they splashes themselves with cola and the pop rocks of their body (yells, boom) and this aura of flame forms around them, The leaves of the peppermint trees catch fire, as they rage, they level their hammer and go for this guy’s head, he swings out of the way just in time for Dippins to clip his jaw, he is knocked down. As his jaw goes slack on his head you and Dippins smell a stench of stinking cheese.**
does anybody remember that backstage user TruthTeller that used to make lists of the top agents in LA, top acting school, etc.etc. well he had 6 tiers for agencies in LA and I just started working with one in the 4th tier and I'm excited because it's (seemingly) a huge step up for me. I've have reps in NYC & ATL and mainly tape at co-star level, sometimes guest star, once in a blue moon something wildly huge. my reps are all very low level. I've read for about 80% of the CDs in ATL & NYC, in the rotation for many, 6/7/8/9/10 tapes for a bunch. I'm at like 187 tapes for tv/film in the last 2 1/2 years, lots and lots of repeats and like 9 pins. however this new agent in LA is a step up from all my agents so far, and I'm new to LA, so I'm hoping I will start getting into more LA rooms and perhaps for bigger things in addition to the rooms I already tape for some what frequently for cds in NYC & ATL. right now my tape frequency has mostly fallen to shit because of the strike and everything, but before that I average 1-2 tapes a week for co-star and above. Hoping the addition of this new better LA agent will increase that since now I'm being submitted to LA CDs more as opposed to primarily NYC & ATL. can anybody speak to what it's like to "level up" with a new, seemingly better agent like this? this agency has been around for like over 30 years and has had a lot of series regulars over the years as well as some super iconic actors when they were earlier in their careers.

My wife enjoys a lot of animation fromany different genres and media, and she has this crazy ear for voices that just blows my mind. She has literally identified voice actors from single words, and, even more impressively, screams/grunts/other non-verbal noises. It's absolutely insane and to me it seems like a superpower. Is there anything she can do with this?? I know this is a weird question, but I didn't know what other community to ask!

Hey all, Newer actor here, taken a few acting classes and gotten in a few student films. My biggest hurdle to auditioning is having another person to read lines during a self-tape. I have done a few where I record the other lines, then play the recording while I am taping my character, but the timing is usually a little off and they can probably tell it's my voice for both characters in the scene. I recently moved to a quiet rural town for work, and making friends has been very difficult. Everyone here already knows everyone else cuz they grew up here and aren't looking to make new friends. My old friends aren't interested in filmmaking whatsoever, so I feel weird asking them to help. How can I find other actors/film makers near me, or find actors online and we can trade off reading for each other's auditions?
Hey all, Going to start commercial acting unrepped soon. I only have money for one commercial acting class. I've narrowed down a few. ​ 1. Killian's Commercial Acting Class- This one I've heard the most and got the most recommendations. I know a person who got an agent at the end. 2. The Commercial Class with Alyson Horn. 3. Hey I saw your Commercial 4. Allyson Horn Casting I was tempted to do Killian's as I'm paralyzed by decison analysis and it seems like the class where I could be seen by agents after the class, but I wanted other peoples opinions. ​ Also I have decision paralysis about getting a commercial agent as well. I've talked to a few actors in Los Angeles and they've told me they've gotten results through sending their packages through 1. Actor's Access- 1 friend got a commercial agent. 2. LA Casting- 1 guy got a film/tv agent and got co star roles on CSI. 3. Repunzel- (formerly Agent Blasters) My friend got it based on just a standup comedy reel and headshots. And he's had success in booking a major commercial. I'm leaning towards Repunzel as I have a light resume, but a killer standup comedy reel and decent headshots, but it's expensive. Unless I do the commercial acting package only ($97) and not the film/tv and commercial acting package. ($167) Or maybe I should just do all three services and consider it an investment. I guess I just need more advice but I'm going to submit starting next week. Advice please? :)
Sometimes the voice actor will ABC a line and I always ask them to record an audition line instead of just sending me some previous work. Twice I sent a powerpoint with the full script next to a panel from the animation in addition to just a script with there lines for context but for full season that doesn't make sense. I can't give someone 260 page powerpoint.
I know acting isn't "acting." Acting is doing; its behaving. I think I act realistically, but how do I make it great. Is it all in just the practice. The more I do, the more I get better sort of thing. I've read the books by Constantine, Adler, Meisner, and Strasberg. I have analyzed Brando. I've watched Michael Caine's masterclass. Nothing has really been ground breaking to me. Then certain actors will kinda do a 180 and say, "I just am" or "There's not a process for it." I heard similar from Bill Nighy. Is it easier for older actors to give such a performance? Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Bill Nighy. Old and great, of course they were good when they were young too. I presume; don't know bout Freeman lol. It's been a while since I watched someone young who was star studded. Been a while since I've seen such a great performance in general to be honest. Leonardo Dicaprio was a star studded fantastic actor even as a young guy. Will it take me years to achieve greatness in acting. My favorite acting teacher that I watch on YouTube is John Windsor-Cunningham. He has said that he has only seen two great instances of acting. I simply don't know how to become as good as them. Continue acting? More reading?
I recently appeared in a short film by chance and greatly enjoyed it more than I thought I would, now I want to get into acting for more or less the fun of it since it was such an enjoyable experience. I’m just wondering if it would be better to join an acting class or try and land roles already. My experience is 1. I appeared in a film when I was 8 years old(small role) 2. 3 years of theatre arts classes in middle school.(monologues, improv etc) 3. Appeared in a small short film this year Despite all this I don’t feel like a good actor, I’ve only played small roles and can’t cry on command or anything cool like that, so I’m wondering if it would be better to take classes to try and get better at the craft. Or do you not need too much experience/education to get started already? I’m not planning on being the next Sarah Hyland or anything, just find the experience fun.
Below is a link to the Vox article regarding the pending WGA strike which is most likely to take effect May 3rd. SAG-AFTRA and DGA are going to renegotiate contracts in June; therefore, this could be a nationwide mega-strike. Plan accordingly!https://www.vox.com/culture/23696617/writers-strike-wga-2023-explained-residuals-streaming-ai
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.
I’m not talking about “making it” but as in most of won’t do any acting work that’s actually watched by a lot of people or it’s something that people will care about. *your life. Correction to question
I've produced and hosted my podcast [Actors With Issues](https://YouTube.com/actorswithissuespodcast) for almost 3 years and I've gotten to interview nearly 200 actors, from Broadway stars and established names in TV and film, to rising stars who just booked their first major roles. What do YOU want me to ask them? Guests come on the show an open book and ready to discuss pretty much anything. We talk about everything from audition anxiety and imposter syndrome to what they don't teach you in acting school and the biggest lessons they've learned onset/onstage. Thanks in advance! Please check out the show, everyone shares such great stories and insight from their careers. There's something to takeaway from every interview!
Hello! I am Alexander Shen, a design student in SCAD, a junior product designer developing an AI-powered mobile app for actors. An amusing teamwork between my girlfriend and me inspired this project. My girlfriend, a passionate actress, often ropes me into being her scene study partner for casting calls and other acting rehearsals. I'd like to think I've got some hidden acting talent, but let's be honest – I'm not always living up to her expectations. Sometimes I feel like I'm just getting in the way instead of helping. As a product designer, there had to be a way for me to lend a hand to my lovely girlfriend and other actors out there. That's when I stumbled upon a video of Elon Musk using the MagicMic AI voice changer to imitate Morgan Freeman's iconic voice. It was mind-blowingly good, and I thought, "Hey, why not use AI tech to support actors and film professionals?" And that's how we got here! With your help and insights, we're looking to discover more ways AI can make life easier for actors, film industry folks, and people like me who get roped into being scene study partners:) **The app aims to revolutionize the scene study process by providing actors with a virtual partner or something that can adapt, respond, and offer real-time feedback.** This survey aims to gather feedback and insights from actors, acting coaches, and theatre professionals to inform the app's design, features, and functionality. Your input will help us create an app that caters to the needs and preferences of the acting and performance arts community. Your responses will be used for academic research, and the survey will take 3 minutes to complete. I would appreciate it if you shared this information with family, friends, and other groups with experience.

Hello I wanted to ask any fellow actors located in Texas if the industry was slow there
I'm a high school senior next year. I've wanted to be an actor since I was like ten, never got to try it until I was 13. I did my first acting class and did theatre throughout high school and well let's just say I got the acting bug. I love it. I love becoming characters and collaborating with talented actors in scenes and performing and breaking down scripts and everything. And I really want it as my career. I'm just nervous about senior year because it's my final year in high school theatre (and regional youth theatres) and then after that I have no clear path. I'm scared because I want to be a professional actor so badly, I don't care about being famous I just want consistent enough work in TV movies and theatre. I don't expect anything consistent for the first few years, and I know that it will take a long time before I get consistent enough work for bigger roles (aka guest star, recurring, or series regular; lead and supporting) and even when I reach that point it won't always be consistent. I'm aware of all that and I still want it. I have goals but I know they might not be reached in the way I imagine at all and that's okay. I'm ready to take on these challenges. But I'm still terrified. What my brain has done is it's trying to give me a deadline. It's trying to say I only have like 4 years to make it and I hate that. 4 years is nothing! I won't achieve anything. I'm not doing this career for four years. I want at least like 30 years or something. I mean c'mon, I've seen hundreds of non-famous acting careers they're all like 28 years minimum. I want to stick with thi slong-term because I love it and you never stop learning and improving which I love, and also there are so many ambitious (but not fame or money related) acting goals that I have, which include but aren't limited to: * acting on multi-cam sitcoms * booking a Shonda Rhimes (or any other top writer) show * booking a lot of recurring or guest star roles that are unique and out of the box * be in some of my favorite musicals These are just few of many and as you can see they are goals that will take a long time to achieve and even when I do they're goals that happen more than once if you know what I mean. Over time as I do more gigs and I figure out what kind of genres and roles I like I'll be more specific but for now this is what I have. Any reassurance/advice on how to get over the limiting belief of time and how I can focus on my goals because I can't get excited or focus on these important things when I am haunted by a limiting belief. Also if you have any good advice on what I should do right after high school is good (I plan on going to college to major in screenwriting because I also want to be a screenwriter someday)
The fact that a literal director had to explain to them why it's better to go with trained professional as opposed to exploiting popular names is just sad. I will never understand (especially in this day and age of animation and other voice acting mediums being so popular) that these companies honestly believe their product won't be successful if it doesn't have a big name(s) to exploit for profit. Not saying they can't rise to the occasion and do a good job, just that this mindset is toxic and ultimately helps no one.
I wanted to post here because she had some interesting takes on developing a stable life and not necessarily pouring your entire life into acting. I'd love to hear what the community thinks. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2UTQPLQ74U](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2UTQPLQ74U)
Hiya, I signed with my first agent in September. The agency is a starter agency and mainly finds work for young kids. Despite signing their actors in some decent films, commercials, roles In theatre, in the past six months, I have had not even one audition. I am 21. I don’t know if my age is the reason for it or if the agency just isn’t very good. Im still in the process of putting my showreel together, which may be the reason. My agent only has my headshots and a slate to put forward for me. However, there has been little to no communication with each other about this. I haven’t brought it up and neither has she. So I feel a little bit left in the dark. My question is, should I complete my showreel and see if it changes anything with her- Is it likely this will make a difference? Its probably best for me to keep searching for a different/ better agent, but it is worth giving her more of a chance? Or, will it be more beneficial fo leave for and apply to my own jobs on spotlight? I am already doing so on backstage and seeming to be somewhat successful. Thanks
Keep Submitting Yourself.When you have an agent, it’s easy to let this part fall to the wayside. But to keep your audition numbers up, you want to make sure you’re an active participant. Keep searching through Casting Networks and other casting platforms. If you do voiceover work or audiobook narration, look for platforms where you can put up your profile and demo tracks. Remember, your agent has many actors on the roster, and no one knows your work better than you. You might find a gig that would otherwise be missed or passed over.Communicate With Your Talent Representative.Even though you’re submitting for and possibly booking projects on your own, remember that you and your agent are always a team. Be open and communicative about the projects you might be booking. Have your agent look over any contracts before you sign them. For one thing, they may be able to help you negotiate better terms. For another, you don’t want to lock yourself into a project that pays pennies without letting your agent know, only to have them submit you for better-paying work that conflicts. Make sure you’re both on the same page about when and where you’re submitting.Remember to Factor in Fees.When looking at rates for projects you’re submitting to, remember to mentally factor in agent cuts and other expenses when you’re determining whether something is worth it. Sometimes these can be negotiated, but it’s important to keep in mind. If you’re auditioning for an audiobook, unless you have a home studio, remember you’ll have to factor in studio rates, and possibly hire an editor. Don’t say yes to something off the bat without considering what it might cost you.- Casting Network#actor #agent #manager
I learned a powerful lesson from Legendary Carol Burnett.
The similarities between practicing martial arts and practicing the art of acting never cease to amaze me. Take this quote (unlikely to have actually been from Bruce Lee but still very relevant.) It can be applied word for word to our study and implementation of acting technique. There are so many schools of acting, and just like the various schools of martial arts, many contain valuable techniques and insights, but perhaps not everything will be applicable to each practitioner. Therefore, we as performers need to study widely, and find what works best for us as individuals, based on our own needs and the situation (script) at hand. Similarly, not everything we learn will be relevant or indeed work for us. One vital skill for actors (as it is for martial artists) is to identify what is working and what will hold us back, and discard the latter. Finally, the most special and important aspect of art - what is unique about us as artists and how we can manifest that in what we do. In martial arts, we start (in the classical styles) by learning patterns and then eventually move on to how to apply those techniques But along the way, the discerning artist will bring part of the themselves into those techniques and adapt them into something that is truly their own. And that's what the most successful and stand out actors do. They don't simply read the lines they are given, but inject the words and scenes with something different, something of their own experiences and souls, that lets you feel that performance, that moment, and lets you remember it for a very long time. The uniqueness that the best of the best bring is rare, but it's what any artist should be aiming for, no matter who their audience is.
I’m discussing moving here from another area and have already done some research and had some suggestions on good studios for classes and agencies to apply to. My question is just that: best case scenario, is it possible to make it full-time as an actor these types of markets, or would I be destined to only finding sparing, low low budget projects and school shorts or need to move again?
I am unsure if this is the exact sub for this type of question, but my guess is that Voice Actors have experience with this topic. Basically, when recording long audio sections for my videos, I always end up quickly losing power and stability in my voice, while generally getting heavily exhausted in the process, beyond the voice. What can I do to improve this? Take more breaks? Specific training? It feels really bad knowing that I will be extremely tired after just around a 20 minute recording.
Me and my small team are in search of two male voice actors to do leading roles in a webseries we are making. There would be around 6 chapters of the series. Each chapter at least 30 minutes long. You will get paid 100$ per chapter. Direct message me with an application.
I just need to locate this type of information or possibly contacts to their agents.
\*note\* This is not judgmental, aggressive, or ranting, I am merely trying to be optimistic and bring something to our attention I've seen some people complain about film/TV work sometimes. Guys, I know it's more technical than stage acting (and theatre is wonderful), but at the end of the day it's still acting. We're still doing what we love. We love telling stories and playing characters that intrigue us, and that part doesn't change across any medium. And film/TV can be just as creatively fulfilling, especially with a lot of the *amazing* writing in TV I've seen these (I'm also an aspiring screenwriter so I'm picky with this stuff but there is a LOT of good writing in many series these days) And the indie film industry is super good too! And yes, waiting around is a part of the job, but a lot of the times if it's a good day we're filming at a faster pace on the film or TV show we're currently working on and/or we have more to do that day in general. Also, film/TV provides us with an opportunity to tackle new things every day. Is it hard to film out of order? Hell yeah, but there are techniques that can help us stay present even when doing so. And a lot of times in TV you go through one audition process for a role that appears in many episodes (whether it was written that way or you were added in more because they liked you!!) My point is, yes theatre is wonderful, yes we have more control as actors, and yes it's where I got my start, and yes I absolutely love it, but we don't have to look down on film/TV. In fact I hate it when people do. Film and TV can be just as exciting. They each have their pros and cons, and we need to acknowledge that. Just try to be positive. You're not going to hate every single experience you have in any medium, but you're not going to love every single one either but that's normal guys. Each experience you have is different and that's what's beautiful.

What would it be to improve yourself?
So six years ago I took a job as an actors permanent stand in and pretty much stopped even seeking new auditions. The show went to series there were a few movies and well, it felt like acting work. But it really was a true full time job. So I stopped, took a day job in order to get my bearings and get back to the only thing I’ve ever really tried to do for a living. Here’s the question. I know there’s some big stigma to these sorts of jobs. But I’ve also added exactly one role to my resume in that time. Do I explain what I’ve been doing with the last six years? It all seemed pretty reasonable if only to see some stuff, meet some people, and get my bearings. But in retrospect it was a bad call. The last time I “started” was much clearer but now frankly I think I’m worse than when I was brand new. I’ve got some thick skin here, but I’m in a big market and a six year absence is well… it’s real. I’m also older and have lost track of the CD’s who actually used to call. I’m still sort of new to reddit, but I think this might be the sort of question it is for?
I've had a lot of anxiety post-pandemic with performing and I think a big part of that is not performing regularly. Would anyone be interested in meeting up over video (zoom, google meet, etc) and working on scenes, talking about where we are at with our acting, etc. I am based in Los Angeles and don't have an agent or manager. I've taken several classes at various studios here. Just looking for support and a fellow actor to practice with. :)
Looking for a male actor age range 60- 80 for a short film. needed 1- 2 hours. plz dm
I’m an actor, I made some connections and we are working on a feature film. It’s all collaborations, so it’s unpaid. I volunteered to do casting because I’ve always been interested in it, posted a casting for 2 roles, on mandy. unpaid. A male and female 20-30 any ethnicity, received over 200 submissions for both. I can’t believe that many people were applying for unpaid roles shooting Monday-Friday one week in may, insane!! I understand now why I’m not getting as many responses on there as I hope to, I can’t imagine the amount of applicants for something paid. In Toronto too, so areas like LA probably get way more!!

Soooo ever since I got the lead in a play in 5th grade I have been acting in plays and obsessed. I have a degree in Sociology and I just hate social work. I live in Hawaii and the agents and agencies here are pretty horrible. I never tried to be a film actor but honestly I think it’s the only thing I can do. I have no idea how to start and want one based in LA which I heard isn’t unheard of when you live in Hawaii or other places. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. Please help I actually wanna try but just never knew how too and honestly don’t think I can do anything else.

Keep in mid that I'm young and just curios about the acting world(bc I want to be an actor). I want be an actor like on screen stuff but also a voice actors. I watch videos on YouTube about how to be a voice actor but in the videos they talk about Indie games , commercials and audio books(not saying I dont like that type of jobs) but I just curios abbot how do I get auditions for big names company like Ubisoft or Supermassive . I get that you have to work to get to that level but if you get to that level to you just get the auditions or is there something else you have to due. Also how do on screen actors get voice acting roles. For example Paul Zinno. He is not a famous actor or anything like that but I saw him in a game called The Dark Pictures Anthology : House of Ashes and his voice acting was so good after looking at his IMDB he mainly dose on screen stuff( he did due a few dubbing jobs tho) so dose he have a separate voice acting agent besides his on screen agent? Sorry if I sound stupid( I probably due ) but again I am new to studying acting/voice acting so pls don't get mad at me

Looking to meetup and run scenes with other aspiring actors. Hi guys, I'm a SAG-AFTRA actor who used to act and audition a lot when he was way younger, abandoned it all to focus on a tech career, then got inspired to jump back in after the pandemic. I'm currently in Long Island City. Basically I'd love to network with other actors of all levels who want to run scenes, polish monologues, read for each other etc. I'm currently taking courses at Russell Acting Studio in Manhattan. I also am super into craft beer and video games.
I am a 16 year old boy who is in love with acting and movies in general. It is my dream to be an actor, but I live in a very small town in Texas that has no auditions, agencies, or really any market for acting in general. This fact bothers me daily, and I was wondering if there is anything I can do to still pursue my dream despite this. ​ I live about an hour and 45 minutes away from dallas
There is couple of uncredited actors in scarface i am sure i seen them in other spanish movies but the problem is they are uncredited. So i wonder who should i email the director or producers if i want to know their names ??
I was accepted to the Actors Studio Drama School at Pace for the fall but tuition is so expensive. Even with a decent scholarship I will still pay $35k before cost of living per year. Looking for anyone’s advice if it is worth it to go. Any insights on the program or if it’s worth it to live in NYC. I auditioned for URTAs on a whim this year while I was finishing my undergrad (BFA MT performance) and got accepted to more schools than I expected. I would be curious if auditioning again and for more schools next year would be worth it but I’m afraid to pass up this opportunity. Also any thoughts about the program specifically. I see it listed as a top school on some websites but on others it seems overhyped. They also claim a lot of alumni that went to ASDS when it was at NYU (pre 2006) but don’t seem to highlight their more recent alum. What’s the deal?
Hi, I'm Sherry Blackwell and I want to be an actor. I had this dream since I was a kid and told my mom at 21 that I wanted to attend an acting school in NYC. She was dead set against it; me being the good kid I was I obeyed and decided to study film/tv production instead. I'm glad I did study film because I also love to write and have directed some short films as well. However, that's not quite working as of yet. I started this journey at 27 and now I'm 46 and just realizing that my biggest dream was to be in front of the camera, not behind it. I've looked on Backstage, etc. but a lot of these sites want you to pay $$$$. Does anyone know of casting call websites that are free?
So I'm created a new audio drama podcast where I'll be voicing one of the characters, but the other actors will be recording remote. This is my first foray into such a large production, and the first time I'm in a directorial role. I've heard different things on if I should have a Zoom call with the actors or if I should continue to communicate through text and email. I've been able to get the idea across of how I want the characters to sound, but I can always do a full read to hammer it home. My question is should I do a Zoom call to talk with them as emails are super formal? I'm unsure of what a Zoom call would entail when I can more accurately write my thoughts down, but maybe I'm coming at this from the wrong way. Would you prefer if a director had a call with you or because it's remote it doesn't matter as much?
Hi all, When I started acting in the UK, I had to change to a stage name in order to join Spotlight (similar to Actor's Access in the UK, but they have a name check). I did so, and have continued using that stage name after I moved to the US. Now living in the US, I am trying to join Equity but am told my stage name is not available, however my legal name (which I would like to use) is. My question is about how this intersects with other unions. What happens if, down the line, I want to join SAG-AFTRA, WGA, SDC etc, and they have someone registered with my legal name that I've been using through Equity? Whatever name I pick now I really want to make sure I don't have to change again or don't want to have to use a different name for stage vs screen etc. Luckily since I don't live in the UK anymore I don't need to worry about the Spotlight conflict, but if that were just another union I wanted to still be a part of I would already be having this issue. Does anyone have any advice? Or should I just use the name I want with Equity and cross that bridge if it's an issue in the future with another union?
