Hello, I am an actor who is struggling to find good monologues to audition with, could anyone suggest any good plays/monologues for me to read. I am looking for plays that are located in east London/ Essex. The character I am looking for is any powerful male role. Many thanks, Ross
Optional practical training is one type of work permission available for eligible F-1 students. So when you graduate from a eligible acting school or conservatory, if you're an international student, you get an OPT. You have to apply for it like three months before you graduate. After you graduate, you get one year to work. But it’s hard to find information on how limited the employment opportunities are and what’s next after the OPT period is over... what kind of projects are legally accepted in this case? Only non union, short films and students films? And if that’s the case, then how the heck are you gonna apply for the O1 Visa next? If that’s the next step at all to build your career after you’re done with the OPT period.

I'm working on a short film project of my own and will be needing around 5 male actors and perhaps 2 female, this project cause of money, covid, finding a setting will take ages to put together, i have no idea how i am gonna find a space as i want it to be shot in an outdoors forest/garden/wonderland scenario ... no idea how that could be done, and id wanna hire and pay people interested in acting if they fit the role, its contains a gay character and lots of love scenes (not naked) between the characters, where could i post for anyone open to these roles? Also anyone here that is interested or open to at least being a maybe, can contact me if you want , but again, the process to put together will take a long time, writing is the easy part for me ahah
I'm working on a short film , well more than one project of that nature, both mine (nothing commercial) and id like to ask, though in truth, it will take a while to get everything ready, if you are interested in possibly participating, and sending me a profile shot, if you are 18-30 years old and a curriculum if you have one, to forfuturecasting44@hotmail.com i'll gladly take a look. I am looking for both young adults that could be highschoolers/university age, and regular young adults so from 20-30 would be perfect, but 18, 19 is fine if the acting potential is there. Looks do count also, not for all character roles, but a few in particular, race doesnt matter to me. I lf im not allowed to advertise here please remove and let me know. I would pay the people acting on my project, but cant give more details yet cause i wanna finalize it first. I'm.open to people of all nationalities but british english, irish, scottish and american is favored, talent and looks (for what i envision) is important. One of my short films, involves high school theme, so kissing would happen, showing anger, fear, etc
I'm quite confused why it seems from about 2008 to like 2016, they were at the top of their games and were the go-to photographers in NYC. But why is it so extremely rare nowadays to even hear about both of these photographers at all? I've been keeping track of actors booking their first jobs on Deadline, newcomers who have become popular on IMDb, and actors graduating from Juilliard, NYU, Yale, U of NC of the Arts, Pace, and Carnegie Mellon. No actors use these photographers anymore, seemingly. But why? And if it's because headshot trends change, why is that?
If at first try it doesn't feel like it was realistic acting, (I usually immediately have this tingle I feel and the image of me where I acted badly pops up and thus I know where I messed up. Like, where not to look, what move to not make, what tone should I use) then I imagine a realistic acting it in my head. Usually I do this with great real actors, and I copy their acting, their eye movement/movement and tone in the situations I want to play. Then it turns out pretty nicely, I get into character and feel those feelings. Or do most people just naturally know what movement to make, what tone to talk in, where to look at? Like a reflex? Or do you imagine a great actor too in your head first, and then you feel like you are a great actor too I guess? ​ I actually feel like I am asking a dumb and unimportant question :s But I am curious..
So I've heard from various people that its always a good idea to read as much plays as possible, and that it might help your acting. I just finished the play "Boy Gets Girls" by Rebecca Gilman. Good play! I basically just read it like a book. I didn't take any notes or read it outloud or act it at all. While i enjoyed reading it, and was very interested in the story, I don't feel like my acting has benefited at all, or I have improved. I know how to break down audition sides, but it seemed overkill to go through the entire play and annotate it all as if it were a script. ( it least on the first read through) So my question is: How do yall read plays with the intention of bettering your acting? Do you read it out loud and actually try to act it? Do you mark up the entire play with notes? Do you read the play once for leisure, then go back and breakdown different scenes? I just want to hear how you guys approach reading plays. Thanks! Edit: i guess another answer would be that reading plays doesn't help your acting! If that's how you feel, let me know
My background: I’m a 27 year old army veteran. I’m currently pursuing a bachelors degree in a non-related field. I’ve always been drawn to acting as a craft. I’ve felt things while watching great performances that nothing else in life can make me feel. Almost like it’s calling me and I want to take a step and begin to learn how to be an actor. I never pursued acting in high-school because I was an athlete, “it’s not something we did”. I was afraid of what people (my friends and family) would think. I let anxiety and fear hold me back. Which is a problem that transcends this scenario and impacts my life in other areas as well. My problem : I get terrible “stage freight” (if that’s what you call it even if you aren’t on stage). Usually when talking to large groups of people or others that I don’t know, I just become nervous. Nervous to the point that I feel my face flush and I begin to lose track of myself because I know other people are listening to me talk. I’ve been in scenarios where I’ve had to address groups of people and I’m comfortable until all eyes are on me. I’ve attempted to sign up for theater/acting classes before but I always withdraw out of fear. I’ve taken a public speaking class with the hidden agenda of trying to make myself more comfortable in hopes that I can gain the confidence to try and pursue this craft. My question: Can someone just give me advice based on the information provided above? Would I be wasting my time? How can I get over this crippling anxiety I feel when addressing groups or individuals I dont know? What would you do if you were me? I feel like if I don’t start now I never will. Edit: fixed a typo.
Hey, so I am a new voice actor. I've landed a few roles, sent in a bunch of lines, and am now waiting for some of these projects to come out. While they are being worked on, I've been brainstorming how to showcase them as part of my work as well as how to get started with branding in general. While I'm brainstorming, there's been one question nagging at me: "What do I call myself?" Do I use my real name? Do I use my internet handle? Or do I create a whole new stage name? While I don't expect one definitive answer here, it did get me curious on how you tackled this problem. Or was it even a problem at all?
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.
How/when did you decide to pursue acting as a career? Was it easy to decide? I feel super lost in life right now. Acting comes to my mind every now and then but then I push it away because I don't think I could ever do it or be good at it. After watching the new Disney Pixar film "Soul" I'm thinking what if acting is my spark. Thinking about becoming an actress gives me hope in life and excitement. Researching anything about acting is the most interesting thing ever to me. I'm interested about other careers as well but the thought of doing anything else than acting makes me depressed. I don't even have any experience in acting though... But there's a new acting academy in my country. I'd love to try an acting class. There's also one year training. That could be super good.
Sweet little clip of Jeff Daniels discussing his process for line drilling and how to get them down. Young actors take note. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boIqmOj16Qs
I'm a south asian american actress with some guest stars and one series regular and had gone in for a major motion picture. Major NYC Casting Director was supremely nice and had me try it a bunch of ways (I had really worked on the character) and he followed me out of room telling me 'excellent prep' very excitedly a few times, and I was hopeful something good would come out of it. At least a callback. Found out a Bollywood actress chose to produce it and decided to star in it. There are a few motion pictures coming out right now in this realm so I don't want to say which one it was, but I am kind of like "hmmm" if 1) Bollywood actors are coming and taking american roles with indian accents and not bothering to work on indian-american accents (I'm not going over there and proclaiming Jai Ho, am I?) and 2) If the role is already cast to them, why the 'formality' of going in and auditioning? It's a great deal of effort to really delve into a role and figure out every nuance and moment (sometimes in a matter of one or two days not much prep time) and of course while I was excited to get the compliments and be in the room for a long time and I am glad he knows my work (and work ethic) now I am kind of like...hmmm...just doesn't seem like a very efficient process. Could have been putting my time to something else. Is this something I need to discuss with my managers and rep and if so - how? Seems kind of weird that so many south asian american actors have been waiting in the wings for years and now indian actors from bollywood are taking parts. It feels like when black ppl from london are cast in black american roles here, I know that was certainly a discussion with *Harriet.*
I’ve been wanting to be a voice actor for years now and I finally have the equipment to start my reel. But I don’t have the know how to put together any type of script to make one. How did you guys make yours?
So its no secret that some of the best film/tv actors grew up doing theater, and that's how they got their acting training. I just read Jenna Fischers book and she talks about how she always did theatre, and any chance she got she would be looking to perform, whatever facet it might be. It seemed she really had no interests outside of theatre and acting. I obviously love acting, but I cant say I love theatre (yet). I say yet because I haven't really had a chance to give my life to a role and commit myself to a play. Once covid is over, I will audition for plays the first chance I get and see what that is really like. Also, I have other interests outside of acting, and it scares me that I don't live and breath theatre, and that I'm not dying to perform any second I get. The fact that there *are* people like that makes me feel guilty and I put myself at a perceived disadvantage. I'm 21, and ive only been in 1 play a few years ago, and have very little training rooting from theatre. Most of my training has been from an on camera acting class I've taken over the past year and a half. So yeah, am I at a pretty big disadvantage when I'm auditioning against people who have been doing theatre their entire life, and probably love it more than me?
Like many, I want to go to LA to be an actor. Specifically in VO or VO directing, but still, and LA actor. I'm a senoir in highschool and I am pressed for choosing my career. This is so stressing!! Im looking for general advice on how to get to where I wanna go of course, but for brevity, what is the difference bwtween going to a "big" school, or bigger school, say like Point Park in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania or something closer to home like small Bowling Green. Bowling green is not an acting school, nor is it known for acting. But it does have an acting/directing program. Small school is WAY cheaper and I dont know if its a "bad" school but bigger school is more well lnown and I think better experiences might come from it Please help. Haha
Hey there, I hope this message finds everybody well. I was fortunate enough to have a small supporting role in a Warner Brothers film that's coming out early next year. However, it's now being simultaneously released on both HBO Max and in theaters. I've talked to my local sag office, or at least tried to. They said that they would get back to me but it's been almost 4 weeks now. My question is this, does anybody have any idea how residuals are going to work for this unprecedented release strategy? Any Mulan or Wonder Woman actors have any experience? I know that this is a quality problem to have, and I'm definitely grateful to be where I'm at. However, if residuals are going to take a major hit, then I need to either put my stuff in storage and live out of my car by the end of March, or move out of California. Thanks for the information and I hope you all have a great night
IMDB Pro has the Star Meter function that ranks actors based on popularity. The problem is that popularity only refers to how often their page it viewed in IMDB. People tend to use IMDB for the scenario of "who is that guy from this show I'm watching, he looks familiar" which generally means that less popular people will get their page viewed more than famous people. Maybe I'm wrong about that, but right now five people from the cast of The Mandalorian are in the top #26. Meanwhile the people I would consider Hollywood's biggest stars are hundreds of places down on the list. Is this list actually useful and I'm wrong? Is there a better way to determine where someone would rank in terms of star power, or is this the best metric currently available?
hi fellow actors- I'm getting drama school auditions and have some schools conducting online 'live' and some self-taped for monologues. What do you think are some key differences in performance with these formats? E.g. would you have your camera set up nipples up even for 'live' auditions, which will definitely limit your action choices?
As a New York-based actor for the past three years I've more or less met most of the important NY offices. Of course, I've self-taped for LA offices too, but I'm curious from an LA-based actor perspective which offices are considered the major ones. I'd be happy to provide my own opinion to the NY perspective.
Hi. I’m an actor in Grade 12 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I’m trying to find an acting school which is good and worth my money/time. Money is not an issue. I have heard mixed reviews on this school and wanted to hear your opinions. And maybe some suggestions. My dream school is Juilliard and ik the chances are low and submissions have closed so u gave up on it. Any suggestions?
I am an actor with an agent and by 2023, I will have all my credential to be a primary school teacher. just wondering if anyone had the same expierence or a similar one?
Hey guys, I’m a beginning voice actor with no experience in the industry. I want to know what’s the best way to get into it?
i would love your help, please! i’m taking a VO 101 class and my teacher keeps giving me the same note of “i don’t feel like you’re connecting with the imaginary person you’re speaking to”. I’ve tried doing it differently every time, trying to improve, and well, i’m clearly struggling. something’s just not clicking in my brain. my background is improv and sketch, but i’ve never considered myself a good actor... so that’s why i’m giving VO a chance, but i’m realizing it’s much harder than i thought. (silly padawan) i would appreciate any advice or suggestions you might have to help me improve in this area. thank you!
So my agent is great, and I'm incredibly lucky to be with them. They are arguably the best agent in my region (not la/nyc), super selective, they have great relationships with the casting directors, and they answer all my calls and are super friendly. I've been with them about a year and a half, I've gotten maybe 60 auditions. Most of these auditions are self tape auditions for 3 liners, though i have gotten a couple series regulars auditons. (Self tapes have been the norm even before covid in my region.) Anyway, never gotten a call back, and i haven't booked shit yet. Obviously since I haven't booked anything, i get a little worried.. (what I'm i doing wrong? Surely my acting can't be that bad that I'm messing up 4 line auditions... Is my agent gonna drop me?). Earlier this year, i asked my agent if any casting directors have given any feedback regarding my auditions (I've heard this is sometimes an appropriate question to ask your agent) He responded saying that casting directors don't really give feedback, but it's a good sign that they keep calling me back. I just read Jenna Fischer's book and in that she mentions how agents "should" act: https://imgur.com/a/rObByKN So yeah, is it expected for your agent to asking the casting directors for feedback regarding your audition performance? Edit: oops this post droned on. I received Jenna's book, An Actors Life as gift and i read it cover to cover today. I guess it really caused me to reflect on my journey so far, hence all the unnecessary details about my "career" lol
You know how huge stars are always sought after. Big name actors like Ben Affleck and Anna Kendrick must get offered roles so often they couldn't keep track of how many they've turned down. I was thinking about it, and the first time someone seeks out your agent to offer you a role has to be a big milestone in someone's career (at least for those lucky enough to reach it). I'm very curious about what point in this stars careers they had their first unsolicited offer. Do you think people with small amounts of fame get them? I'm not asking for a practical purpose, I've just been thinking about it and I have no idea so now I'm pretty in the weeds with it. I'm guessing a lot of people jump straight from getting none of these offers to getting a ton, but I would love to know about the people who didn't have a huge role that catapulted them into stardom. I highly doubt any big stars will read this and share their personal story but does anyone feel like speculating? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
We all have different backgrounds in our growth as actors: we differ in methods, different coaches, different phases, etc. I posted this so I can figure out other ways on how to analyze a script/narrative. Do you judge your character? Is it necessary? Do you also judge the other characters? Who do you ask when you got clarifications? co-actor/s? writer/playwright? director? How do you figure out your character’s objective in the narrative? .... and many more haha Share your method. As they say, learning is a never ending adventure!
Exactly what the title says. This is my first time submitting something. I haven't even figured out headshots yet, so it's probably a long shot, but you never know if you don't try right? This is the post I'm responding to: Looking to cast 20 - 35 yo fit Asian American actress for short film to shoot in January in Cincinnati. One day shoot with pay $300/ day + travel, lodging and per diem. Email headshots, bio and/or reel to blackmariaentertainment@gmail.com for details, rate and script. Includes travel and lodging. Have a video reel or be ready to audition via zoom. This is what I've drafted: Well-traveled and proficient in Mandarin Chinese as well as Taiwanese, Mexican, and American culture, Christine is an educator, writer, engineer and aspiring actress with a strong foundation in public speaking and leadership. She studied film by the International Baccalaureate progam and through her Chinese degree from the University of Florida including coursework in animation and transnational cinema. She is best known for her deep commitment to intersectional sustainability and looks forward to working on projects which critically examine the human experience. She resides in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Ok so, guys i know there are several questions about tattoos and auditions, in here and all over the internet, but i wanna know from now on, from 2020, from you guys. This is serious, your experience with it. I am 28, i already considere myself too old, but... i say take this question serious because i need to know from people that are involved with acting recently and know about it these days, because my dream is to become an actor, i feel old but at the same time i wanna try it, once i finish my college graduation i wanna move to New York (No im not going to l.a) , and i wanna give my best to get into this industry. I know its a harsh industry and i wanna face it, being a working actor and focus on a good craft, but i wanna get some tattoos, i read old threads from like 5 to 10 years ago, and an online course where the teacher said the same thing all this places say, that for someone that is starting may not be a good idea since it takes hours to cover and they wont pay to cover it nor waste time with a new guy who has no experience. I wanna be a drama actor, i would like to not been seen as the ''bad boys with tattos'', i mean, i wanted to get more opportunities and roles i could. I dont wanna get hand, face or full sleeve tattoos, just a few here and there haha. What are your thoughts? Should i wait or should i go for it and face more rejection later? With all the technology these days can't i cover myself with some product in just a few seconds? I mean, i know this questions sounds generic, but its very important to me, my dream depends on it. Thank you for your time. <3
When I watch different movies starring them, it just seems like they're the same personality. Just slightly altered every movie. Whereas when I watch movies starring Daniel Dey Lewis, he completely tansforms himself into whatever character he's playing. He seems like the only real actor that I've watched so far at least...?
Hey r/acting, I’m Tyler. I’m a male in 9th grade and live in North Carolina. I like singing and acting and have a few plays and musicals under my belt. If I wanted to do acting/performing as a career, what should I prepare for and how? Should I focus on getting training for an academic job or train for performing. I love acting and don’t want to have a desk job but have no clue on what to do to help myself because I don’t personally know any actors. Thanks!
I keep seeing these on people's names. How do they get them? I'm not in SAG (yet) so I don't need it myself, I'm just curious if there's some vetting process to where I know these people are actually actors or if it's just some Reddit feature I don't know about where anyone can append stuff before their name.

I’ve been doing free fan stuff for this past summer and became the announcer at my college. I want to expand my business and I don’t want to sit and wait while my my fiverr and voice bunny get no attention. How can I network to help my business. Where should be the first places I cold call or email? Where can I find real auditions? How can I be my own agent?
I feel like this is such a stupid "not a big deal" question. I thought it was too, until so many fellow LA actors and casting directors have told me to never film self tapes with a white backdrop. I'm really trying to up my acting game this year, and was wondering if I just should add a grey backdrop to my Amazon cart to get ready for this new year of auditions? I don't think my self tape set up looks bad with a white backdrop, but maybe I'm just use to seeing it, so its not a big deal to me? Let me know what you think: [https://imgur.com/THz6MUc](https://imgur.com/THz6MUc) I currently have a white backdrop, black backdrop, and use a Canon 60D with a rode mic to film. I also use a few soft boxes, as well as a monitor to make sure I'm always in focus and frame. I edit with Final Cut. I know this is a little extra, and you can simply film a self tape with your phone and natural light now, but I'm a full time product host, so I already have all this equipment to begin with. Would love to know some opinions. Its only $15, so its not like its gonna break the bank, but does it *really* matter?
Hey folks, I get a lot of questions on here about what I have done to be successful after people see my voices profile ( [www.voices.com/actors/elloeff](https://www.voices.com/actors/elloeff) ) I wrote an article for Medium that goes over the things that I find most important to being successful! Hopefully it helps you on your journey :) [https://ello-eff.medium.com/how-i-made-5-000-00-in-my-first-3-months-as-a-voice-actor-57f0ad1f83c9](https://ello-eff.medium.com/how-i-made-5-000-00-in-my-first-3-months-as-a-voice-actor-57f0ad1f83c9)
This is a throwaway because of how much of an asshole I'm going to sound but fuck it, I feel like this needs to be said as I've been feeling this way for a couple of years now and it seems taboo to talk about. I guess this could apply to most fields of work but I think acting, filmmaking; fields in the public eye where success is constantly broadcast to you wherever you go, it's more obvious. I’ve always wanted to be a director or an actor or just a guy who works in the film industry. I've been taking this "seriously" since I was 13. It was here I started to feel the jealousy creep into me. I began to watch some people get the roles I'd once dreamed of as a kid. Then someone from my family booked a movie gig, it made me panic -- quite literally. Sure, he was 27 and I was 16 but it felt like it was now or never! Then came the depression, time ticked by and all I did was sit back and cry. I fell deeper and deeper into the hole. Charlie Heaton... why him? Why not me?? Fionn Whitehead went from working in Starbucks to a Christopher-fucking-Nolan movie Dunkirk at such a young age? I didn't know these guys but they were getting everything I wanted. And yes, I know in way of logic they have agents; the best agents. Most of them are older than me... but still, that nagging thought of "why isn't that you" plagued me. I felt like I was doing everything I could, seriously, everything but I actually did nothing! Man, my envy progressed from actors to just people who were successful as a young guy. For a while I had a stint where I both admired and loathed Mark Zuckerberg. I hear a little voice say. It nags at me, tells me I'm a failure. Suddenly, I'm 17. I have no friends because I've locked myself within my own fantasies. I haven’t dated a girl although I am really good-looking (that’s not self-admiring. All people and girls call me good-looking). Living with my parents and still in high school, overwhelmed with depression. I give it one last shot, but this time I'm clouded with jealousy. I've developed a high-horse complex. Is that good enough, though? Hell-fucking-no. "What about that guy from your hometown?" He got that because he was just in a hit movie -- I create this whole fantasy about his success in my head: he's going to be cast in a TV show, blow up, be the next Johnny Depp. But what does that have to do with me? ... uhm, he's from my hometown? Yeah, my hometown! It's pretty small, not many actors... if he makes it, that means I can't. Hey, fuck logic when you've got selective Wikipedia viewing. My days are spent wishing I was someone else, beating off, reading, and turning up to an acting class once a week. "I bet Harry Styles' days aren't like that". Again with the Harry Styles comparisons! Why him, brain?! WHY HIM?! "Fine... Zuckerberg, Nolan, James Dean" NO! STOP! I'm NOT these people! AHHHH! SHUT UP! What a fucking life, ay? 17-years-old. And all I do in quarantine is nothing. Sleep, eat, take a shit... Bet the 10-year-old me really thought this would be the reality when I said, "I want to work in the film industry". Can't imagine 7 more years like this. I'm sorry, I just can't be happy at anyone’s success because I'm a conceited cunt that only cares about himself. Monday tomorrow, though! Yay! More self-loathing. More staring at my phone. More refreshing my email account. More Wikipedia stalking. More crying into my pillow. More eating junks. More Instagram stalking the ones I used to know even though I don't even have an Instagram account. My God, I bet 17 hasn't ever been so old. Can't wait for 20, 22, 25, 36, 57, 76... Oh look, I'm dead. Died a failure! I am a selfish bitch who just can’t stand and go crazy over other people’s success. Fuck me. I don’t know if this was a good place to tell the things I have in my head... I just needed to shout out. I couldn’t stand it anymore.
I have finished drama school in the UK this year, I’ve got myself a (small) agent, I’ve got great headshots. I participated in every graduate event, did workshops, emailed casting directors, etc but it’s come to nothing. No auditions since finishing my degree. But I can’t even get a job in a bar, or in a shop, anywhere. I have very little savings and struggle to make ends meet, relying on support from my partner. Universal credit (benefits in the UK) seems to hate me and I’m only getting a tiny amount of money from it. The economy is so bad right now - I’m applying for many jobs every day and getting rejected the next. I know this is the actors’ lifestyle. And I know that covid-19 has slowed things down a lot. But I just don’t understand how I can keep pursuing my dream if I can’t even get a side job to pay the bills. Anyone else stuck in this rut? Anyone got advice on overcoming it?
A lot of the time I just can’t help but read the former as the latter. ❤️
[Jane Eyre (2011) Clip](https://youtu.be/jtgEjM6cMzo) I’ve been looking back on a couple of favorite films to look for monologues to practice and I rewatched this clip from Jane Eyre (2011). Mia Wasikowska is amazing in this, she is such an underrated actor! I’d love this film and her in it when I first watched it years ago but now as someone who now really wants to pursue acting, her performance in this really moved me to the point of delighted giggles because of how unbelievably beautiful her acting is. I literally got goosebumps as soon as she turned around, it was as if she was holding all her feelings in her eyes and her upper lip. I freakin love her.

It's always been just a hobby but some friends have encouraged me to actually record some of my work. I've been practicing for a a few months but have never actually sat down to record my voice. Even though I was an actor in highschool and did lots of public speeches in college, I hate the sound of my own voice. As you can see from the above list, this was a low-tier audio setup and I wasn't expecting anything professional - and the final product was certainly terrible. I couldn't stick to the accents I had created for the character and numerous spikes ruined the audio quality... ​ ...but I had so much fun! I'm not really expecting to make money, but I want to keep learning and improving to the point where I won't be embarrassed to share my voice, accents, and stories with other people. ​ On a hitch, I wondered if a community like this exists - and it does! I'm glad ya'll are here and I hope to learn more here.
Hey! I’m Elle and i want to be an actress. Because of the pandemic i can’t take acting classes. Does anyone know how to practice acting from home?
I’ve always wanted to act as well as write in film. My dad has always doubted me. I’m graduating high school in six months and then I have to start figuring out what to do next. I wanna go into acting but I keep stressing about failure (though I’m good at hiding it as an actor) My family is decently well off financially and want me to go to college but I fear that will take up too much time and make me more likely to fail at acting since I get distracted focusing on that. I’ve been writing a screenplay which I am nearly done but I worry it won’t be enough to give me a good start. I just keep having mini anxiety and depression inside. What the hell do I do?
Hi all. I’m wondering if there’s anyone out there with a Visa Platinum Premium credit card from the Actor’s Federal Credit Union. I’m trying to find out what types of scores you need to get approved. I haven’t been able to find any data points.
Are there any actors here that has an experience about this? How do you manage your schedule? Especially if there happens to be a conflict with your schedule for the production and your schedule with your job? Does it affect with getting an agent? or communicating with your manager? I know, many of us don’t get to be casted/booked all the time. We also need a job that would bring food to our tables and pay our bills a.k.a. having a job outside acting.
