I am trying to fillout the paperwork for California minor child actor work permit and I am having problems finding the right school form. Does anyone know which is the right website or agency to contact? The school form that I have found has a waterdrop and looks like it’s not the correct form. Has anyone had this issue?
What do you define as a "tough character" to play? I keep hearing actors refer to some of their roles as being difficult characters, but I don't know what they mean by that. What does this mean, or look like, to you all? Thanks.
I’ve been acting professionally for about 4 years now.. starting out in theatre and working myself through film and television. I even worked on a television show for a year in production/full time-stand in so I’ve always known the fast pace of this world. I did all of this while still attending undergraduate school. This year I also got my first agent and since my undergraduate experience is coming to an end I genuinely want to study acting full-time outside of the acting studios and workshops I’ve done. Yale school of drama being a school I love because of their curriculum and skill sets they are able to teach, I decided to apply a month ago. Fear got into the way and I stopped working on it.. now I am almost done with my application and I just want to know if anyone has had an experience with the audition process or experience going to school. Regardless if I get in I’m going to still purists acting in anyways I can however, Yale could make me an even better actor and I just can’t begin to imagine after 3 years who I could become with that type of training. Btw: I’m an African American female (idk if that will give more insight)
Disclaimer: I am learning and this is by no means the gameplan of a seasoned actor. Just a bit of background. I started acting about 1.5 years ago. The first year I took classes and for the last 6 months ive been booking here and there. Some self-submissions and others with my agency. I don't have a large agency as I'm not located in a large market. The nearest Large market is Atlanta (3 hours away), and I've been in and out of it the last 3 months taking classes, working gigs, and visiting family there. I even did a student film over at UGA in November. Im at a point now where I believe I can move into Co-star roles, and small roles in non-union productions maybe even small roles in SAG productions. So im looking for an agent in the market. Ive read and re-read Self-management for the actor by Bonnie Gillespie( along other things), and ive gone through her videos on representations and goals to set. I've also done my research on my target shows, and I am finishing my target casting directors list as well as my target agents list. Both of which I will have complete before new years. I know my type and I am on- brand as far as I can tell and as far as I've been cast for. It took a while for all these things to come into fruition and I know agencies have closed shop for the holidays so I missed the dead period in December to submit. However, I am planning to submit to my target agencies on Jan.2nd. This means my submissions wont be drowned by backlogs from over the holiday season and they should see it relatively soon after I submit. I do know Pilot season kicks off immediately so im prepared to hear nothing back. If that is the case, ill do what I can to self-su via casting websites but I know the listings will be minimum but atleast ill be submitting. In the case I dont get any responses on my initial submissions, I plan to resubmit in April (Drop Season) with new credits. After that just prepare for episodic season. Again, im still new to the layout of everything but I wanted to talk more about how my plan sounds and your thoughts. ​ Best, CC
I'm sorry if this kind of post is unwelcome here. I'm not a voice actor but I think this community could help answer by question. I've always been soft spoken to the point it can be a strain to be heard. Now that I have covid, my voice sounds strange but I much prefer it because it travels effortlessly and my mother doesn't have to keep asking me to repeat myself (everyone's infected). Anyway, I'm wondering if I can change the way I use my voice in a way that feels natural to me that I will eventually just forget I'm doing. I didn't realize how nice it is to have a voice that carries.
I know it’ll happen when I’m ready, and if nobody’s signing me I’m clearly not. I’m discouraged right now, met a girl on set the other day that has an agent and that was her very first job, had never taken an acting class, got an agent with a self tape and a selfie. Meanwhile I’m on my third feature film booked on actors access, 4 years of acting classes, professional headshots and can’t get a single response. Really praying that once my first movie comes out January 13th and I get some reel footage I can get somewhere!! Anyways if you have an agent I’m jealous and happy for you
I work a lot of student/ small budget films. And I’m alright with this usually the cast and crew is very professional and make some pretty good short films, they also take great care of the actors since usually we are there for free on our own time. I applied for a small budget student project and thought I knew what I was getting myself into since I’ve worked a lot of them but this came from left field. No crew it was one guy (this would be fine with me if everything was done professionally and organized) we film for 9+ hours in the cold without break (it takes me an hour to regulate my body temperature when I get home) and it is completely disorganized I was on set for 9+ hours when I only had 3 scenes. If this was a one day thing I’d probably get over it but it’s been almost 7 days of shoots reshoots in the freezing cold. The other actors don’t seem to mind and they’ve been acting longer and on bigger projects then me. How am I supposed to handle this I honestly have no idea how to go about this at all.
so I'm doing a Marty Mcfly cosplay and I was wondering how to imitate his voice and I would greatly appreciate any help from all of you wonderful voice actors. I do apologize if this is the wrong subreddit, if so please tell me what sub I should go to. Thanks
Hi guys, do you have any good agents and agencies to recomend to someone who is still a beginner? Also, would be amazing if they worked with international actors

Bit torn on this one, curious if there's a standard here. I was randomly scouted on the street to be in a focus group, and it turned out to be one of those Chevy commercials with "Real people". Turns out they are in fact just regular people, I didn't know I was 'acting' in it until the commercial aired and I got a check. You only see the back of my head and hear my voice a few times. Should I add this to my actor's access resume? In my previous industry you'd absolutely conflate your accomplishments like this, fake it till you make it style, but I have a feeling casting director's would maybe see it as silly to include? Thank you!!
Hi I’m interested in getting an agent and have a few questions. Long story short my first agent was a complete scam so I decided to find work on my own work through backstage, actors access, etc. I started acting 2 months ago and have 6 credits under my belt some background work some supporting and even a lead role. I’ve also been doing acting classes to work on my craft. I’m guessing nows a good time to look for an agent? As I have headshots reels and a lot of self tapes. I am absolutely terrified of being scammed again so I’m trying my best to research and find some reputable agencies does anyone have any suggestions for NJ or even NY agencies?? Thank you in advanced!
I do drama GCSE (UK) and take acting classes for 3 hours a week but I don't have any headshots done ( I don't want to spend £200 just to have a growth spurt and look completely different on set), I don't have an agent and I live in the countryside (closest audition I could find was 90 miles away). I'm not necessarily impatient and I understand that this process can take years if not decades but if from your past experience you could offer me any advice I would much appreciate it.
Recently had a short film I was the lead in released, I almost cried watching because I felt I did such a horrible job acting. It was my first time on camera and I was pretty nervous so I know while we were shooting it felt not great. But everyone involved that attended our premier was acting like I did such an amazing job. I can’t tell if I’m just over analyzing myself or if they’re trying to be nice.
I didn't get any help on the "no dumb questions" thread so hoping to get help here!: I think the director is unaware the exec p is the reason the female actors for their project keep disappearing; here's what's going on: low budget TV show in the making, they often need repeat extras (so the same extras to show up for multiple episodes). When I was asked to be an extra, the male director and other male actors and extras were lamenting how for some reason their female extras keep ghosting. Not even telling them they won't be back, just gone. These are paid extra gigs and we sometimes have lines. I showed up at call time the first time and the day went very long. The Director really liked me and kept giving me more screen time and more lines which was awesome. I was being dumbly courageous in sharing feedback when the Director was trying to figure out some things, and as the day wore on he started asking for my opinions on both my own and others' scenes, on very small things but still it was very cool. I hit it off with all the 'real' actors on set, who were also complimenting me on my couple of lines. The XP has a big presence on set and is involved in almost everything. I can tell he has a temper. He was watching me all day and pulled me aside and said various appropriate kind and exciting things throughout the day about my potential. By the end of the night he wanted me to get in touch with his friend in a big film producing area, ostensibly so I could get more gigs. But here's the deal, it turns out it's an MLM-like adult film consulting (not acting) gig, complete with pushy tactics, forced urgency and decisionmaking, and I overall feel bullied by both the XP and his contact from the whole thing, and very disappointed in the XPs deceptive presentation of the "opportunity." The XP offered me a bigger role in later episodes, but now I feel it is tied to this completely separate MLM crap, because he asks me for a decision on both as though they're linked, even though verbally repeatedly telling me the "consulting" has nothing to do with the current project. I don't feel I have a choice: it's either both or nothing. Here's more: it is a females only MLM, meaning no men are ever invited, so all the other males on set are unaware this is going on. They also ask you to agree to an NDA right away. I didn't sign anything but over the phone they repeatedly asked me not to tell anyone about the company. I hit it off so well with the Director and his crew and staff, it has been really bothering me that he doesn't know this is happening on his set and this is why his extras keep ghosting. The XP spoke poorly of the director to me behind his back and told me not to get involved with his network in the local film scene... so unprofessional and anyways confusing: why is he funding the project and why did he hire this director if he thinks that way? Anyhow. Just looking for advice all around. I am a longtime theater actor but this was my first experience ever on a film set, as I am thinking about doing more professional acting. Thanks for reading.
Hi. Currently for work I’m doing bg work and I’ve heard various people say that doing bg work overall will stunt me as an actor as industry professionals will only see me as background, and I have heard others say that this is false. What are your guys thoughts?
Hello everyone! I have been giving becoming a voice actor a lot of thought for some time now and now I want to take the first steps. My friends have been trying to get me to go into voice acting for a while now since I can do various impressions of movie and video game characters as well as random voices of different pitches. I have contemplated it and I have been scared to start in fear of failure but I have time to start. I am turning 18 in a couple weeks so now is a better time than ever. If anyone has any tips on making a demo reel, finding jobs, auditions, starting out, or just anything in general please share because I don’t know where to start. Thank you so much and I hope I will look back on this post when I have made it.
So, I want to be an actress and possibly a model while still in my undergrad in college. (Nothing to do with my major, but I want to do it as a hobby or possibly second career once I finish my master's) Anyone know of some agencies I could go through that would work with a21 year old, 5'7" Black female in the DC/MD/VA area, or on the east coast in general? I'm having trouble, and someone told me if I were in an agency, they'd help a lot more with booking jobs than me looking through casting sites. Unless yall know of good acting sites besides All Casting and Backstage that has a lot of nationwide auditions? Much appreciated
Hi, so I looked around and found this studio on lessons.com I'm a bit suspicious about this as the class doesn't have any address, photos, etc. It tells you to pay for the class in the website with paypal, venmo, etc. The closest thing to a photo is pictures of the teacher, but other information is very vague. She claims that many of her students become actors in top tv shows. I also searched around for more information and it seems like this studio doesn't really exist. If you have any idea, thank you so much for your help! http://studiogfacting.com
hello!!!! I'm an actor in Vancouver, Canada and graduated last year with a certificate in acting. I've been doing some stage productions and previously had an agent who worked out of a different city, and now am trying to land an agent here in Vancouver. Seems like this community is mostly geared towards LA (just travelled there, was so fun!)/the US but would love any and all advice or anecdotal stories of how you landed your own agent/cover letter. I've been doing a lot more theatre & some voiceover recently and know I need to beef up my demo & get new headshots, so am mostly looking for advice about networking/meeting agents and cover letters etc. I've applied to a good range of boutique & larger agencies.... but no luck with any of em. so excited to be a part of this sub & can't wait to network!!!!
Say, if there is a character with a German accent, instead of getting an American to do a stereotypical German accent, why don't they just get a German who learned English as a second language to voice them? I guess it's because most recording sessions are local and require everyone to come to a studio to record. There are not many remote sessions unfortunately.
So I'm trying to build my talent as an actor, and I'm thinking of ways to do so, and I was thinking what if I performed famous quotes in different ways and recorded that? Could that be part of my self tape or would that be something else? Sorry if this is a stupid question; I'm learning
My friend is a voice actor abdand she recently went to a recording session where she was asked to voice a character with a Finnish accent. SgeShe was quite confused and had to ask her accent coach but not ever her knew how to do a Finnish accent and she's never been asked to do one before that.
I am an young aspiring male actor, I mainly just use the backstage app to look for auditions, I was wondering what other people use to find auditions because I need more than just the backstage app.
I lived in Albuquerque for a year and I know that there are a few casting companies out there. But it seems to me a majority of the actors there only do supporting roles at best or filler background type jobs. I could very well be wrong. My two favorite shows are obviously better call Saul and breaking Bad. Having said that, I am looking to relocate in the next 5 months I will either be moving somewhere in LA or I will move to Albuquerque. My question is if I move to LA which cities are close enough to a majority of the auditions. Also, do you think Albuquerque is a thriving environment for actors and jobs. I understand this is a very open-ended question with no actual answer but I am willing to take advice from everyone.
TAP NYC is a scam. I paid close to 600 dollars for this program. Was told that once I auditioned and paid, I would be in the program for good. I was shown all the people that received representation prior to my joining and it got me excited. Once I started, I was told that I needed to get professional headshots taken. I had already paid alot of money to get my headshots done by a headshot photographer that has photographed all the big starts in LA, yet, was told that my headshot was "not appropriate." and that "no guarantees" would be made that I would get approved. So once I asked them who I should get my photographs from, they recommended one of their photographers that sponsors TAP NYC-- there was another chunk of money. After that, when I was getting ready for my showcase, I was told by the fat, mean director that I needed to pay her for the "Industry Coordinator" program- where they help connect you with representation .I was so upset... I paid close to 700 or 800 dollars on this program. After I contacted the fat director again, she told me that she gets 1000s of emails a day and cannot give me 1 on 1 attention... This program is a scam. They prey on your dreams and desires.. NO ONE got representation after the showcase. dont' bother with a scam like this. The "directors" are struggling actors with only one having been in a netflix movie and the other in a commercial, they never speak up or protect you when the fat mean director- this over the top, untalented actor screams at you. The main director has not been in anything, she has accomplished nothing even YEARS after getting "representation"- she has an attitude that is beyond disgusting and feels threatened by attractive women in the class. During my time in the program, she was always fine with me but seemed to attack many women in the class to the point of tears. She lies through her teeth when you ask her questions and she makes it seem like so many actors have received representation, when in reality, no one has. The agents that come to the showcase aren't even looking for people to add to their roster. They just come to watch the free show. This program was beyond disappointing. It's been several months since I blew all my money on this program but I am still trying to financially recoup.
Looking at ActorsAccess, Mandy, Backstage, CastingWorkbook, ActingNetwork, there's VERY slim pickings. Is this time of year always so slow? If so, when does it usually pick up?
I have been working with the Meisner technique for over a year now and I would say that I am a pretty good actor, I’m feeling the emotions within my scenes, acting on impulses/instincts, doing very well in rep exercises, and in general feel well accomplished with the effort and time I have poured into my craft. One of my struggles is that I don’t think I can play anyone too far from myself, generally within my acting classes I have done scenes which are very much similar to myself, my acting teacher is aware of who I am and gives me scenes which I, as a person, would relate to. One of my problems is I don’t think I even have the ability to play anyone other than myself as my impulses are coming from me. As classes are not happening for the remainder of the holiday’s I want to educate myself on how I can begin to play others. Currently I am reading Challenge For The Actor by Uta Hagen as it was suggested to me. Would anyone provide any advice? Maybe even some techniques to look into? There’ll be a 3 month hiatus with my classes so I’m open to try other classes working on other techniques. For the most I have loved Meisner as it has helped me as an anxious person but now I think I have progressed with the technique that I am comfortable with branching out. I am stationed in Vancouver so if there are any classes or places that could be recommended, I would highly appreciate it. Thank you :)
I'm not a voice actor and I get told that I sound like Kermit the frog. The comparison has never been made IRL, but when I play games a lot of people have brought up to me that I sound like an adolescent Kermit the frog, though I am 20 yrs old. My voice has always been an insecurity of mine, but I'm realising now (quite late) that it's affecting my life to the degree that it's become a hindrance, so I want to fix it. I give up before even trying for a relationship because I assume I'll be turned down for how I sound, which has happened before. When I was younger, I avoided talking altogether because I was insecure about my voice. For a while, when I started talking again, it strained on my throat. It still does, but it's not painful, only bothersome. Idk anything about modulating my voice, but I was wondering if anyone on this subreddit could point me in the right direction to help fix my voice, because I can't take this anymore
I am a Cis Female but choose to identify as non-gender conforming. I am currently in school getting a BA in theatre and performance, and my overall plan is to go into professional voice acting and foley. I’ve been doing free work with some paid here and there on CastingCallClub for about 3 and a half year now, but now I’m hopping on that semi-professional to professional trail. But one thing I really want to do is lower my voice to naturally sound like a boy. There’s tons of AFAB voice actors who are able to sound like teen boys and my goal is to be like them. I’ve followed some guides but I feel I could expand my routine. I’ve been working on it for a little over a year now and there’s definitely been improvement, but I feel I need more to keep going. Any advice helps, thank you!
Can international students work/get an acting gig while their course is going on? Cause I’ve been told that you need an actor’s visa to land an acting gig which you can get only post graduation. But post graduation you only get a year’s OPT to land a gig, find a sponsor and so on. One year is too less of a time to build the connection, get the work, and find the right people willing to sponsor you.
I’m an actor and I’m auditioning for drama schools for about two weeks in NYC. Im flying in to NYC and I’m planning on booking an Airbnb (entire place to myself) while I’m there. I would like to practice my monologues out loud. Most of the time, my volume level is a normal speaking voice. But occasionally, to get out of a rut, I like to play my monologue differently and so sometimes I play it like I’m angry and so sometimes it can get a little loud. Is this appropriate? Will I anger my neighbors and get noise complaints? Should I book an Airbnb in a particular neighborhood as opposed to somewhere else? Like would it be worse if I was in Manhattan as opposed to Union city,Astoria, Brooklyn? Are there certain hours where it would be more appropriate to be louder? (Obviously, not too early or too late) Should I maybe talk to my next door neighbors ahead of time and ask them what time is best to practice, so I don’t get noise complaints? I just want to practice in my Airbnb, so that I can do my best in my auditions, without causing too much fuss. Please help!
for more context, i am a 21 year old Black girl that’s in drama school in london. i ask this question because it’s very apparent that young Black actors rarely get the chance to be seen in the same way their white peers do. a lot of my favourite Black actors such as daniel kaluuya, john boyega, sheila atim, etc. only really reached a level of “mainstream” by their late 20s, early 30s. meanwhile white peers like tom holland get to choose and get offered for roles in their early 20s. young Black people don’t get the chance to have young Black stars to look up to in the way young white people do. this is not me saying i want to be “famous” or be a mainstream actor, as i prefer theatre anyways, but i would like a career on screen. it’s unfortunate that young Black actors don’t get a chance to be young actors with diverse roles like the timothée chalamets and anya taylor joys of the industry. moonlight came out a year before call me by your name but look at timothée’s career compared to ashton sanders’. it’s harder for Black actors but especially for Black girls who it seems that nobody is looking into casting unless you’re in your late 20s already. i’ve been trying to go up for roles unrepresented but they never want us. so my main thing once i leave drama school, is to find an agent that would fight for me in the same way i would fight for myself to be seen. i know i am a small cog in the industry machine but i do believe that with the right people by my side, we could surely change some things. we don’t always have to play our race in order to be considered great actors. there’s no reason a Black actor couldn’t have been jennifer lawrence’s character in silver linings playbook. i hope people understand what i’m saying. it’s just the level of diversity in stories that seem to never be offered to young Black actors. and i want to challenge that. in order to do that, i’d love to find an agency that would stand by my side. a lot of my friends and people i know are already signed to the big agencies like curtis brown, united, itg, and obviously they’re attractive agencies. but i don’t want to sign with agencies for the name if i know i’m going to be in competition with the larger actors that are already signed with them. or if i know i’m gonna end up playing a drug dealer for the bbc. maybe i have no choice in the matter at this very early stage in my career. but it would be nice to have some sort of guidance as it’s something me and my other Black actor friends have been talking about all throughout our drama school experience. and not to be ungrateful, but we all see it when our white peers are given diverse lead roles that are fun to play but we are given african genocide and trauma. if not that, then supporting the supporting. we’re approaching our final year of drama school and so its always on our minds. some of my friends have already graduated and of course things are hard as it always will be as a working actor. but if the lack of nuance and unwillingness to look beyond our race is already happening in drama school, what is to be said for the real world? it’s all so tiring, the speculating. the worry. of not being seen. maybe nobody will ever truly know what will become of us. but i hope one day, i can come back to this post and tell you guys that i’ve done it.
I'm an actor and studied Theatre in university but I went to somewhere with not great acting connections. What are schools that have great connections and are the feeder for acting connections post graduation. I'm guess Yale is one and so is Julliard. Please share.
In school, I have been putting my focus on a career of business, in order to please my parents by securing a financially stable future. However, I have never been able to shake off the feeling of becoming an actor. Every time I watch a film or series, and I watch the behind the scene cuts, it just looks so enjoyable to be there with others creating a potential masterpiece. I feel more drawn to it than anything and whilst thinking about acting, my business career path doesn't look anything appealing/ interesting to me. I have partaken in plays, and it makes me feel so alive like I am meant to be here. I feel like I am making the wrong decision by pursuing business as my future, but at the same time, I don't want to disappoint my parents by potentially have a financial instability in my life. I am nearing university, and am going to have to make a decision soon. I fear I won't be able to do what I truly want. Also I live in a country where acting is not at all big, but moving is not too great of an issue. Any advice tips would be appreciated
i’m an aspiring actor from the houston, tx area and i was wondering if anyone knows of or has gone to any acting classes here? i’ve seen some studios with reviews on google but it’s honestly hard for me to tell which ones are actually reputable since i’m so new to all of this.
any advice, naming actual Youtubers, or Contant creator that specialize in this, linking blog posts, free resources, etc, because a lot of the YouTube videos I’ve seen are crappy, really old, or all come from that makayla girl.
actual youtube channels, free resources, etc
I need a female voice actor to say my DJ name in a "sexy" way to use as vocals for my songs.
So, I am an actress but I've got countless ideas for some shorts that I want to produce. I'm not as passionate about the actual process of writing however...where do I begin looking to hire someone who can help me make a physical script?
Hi all! My name is Eleni and I work with a talent agency and training studio with voice actors and actors for film and theater. I am personally offering 15-minute meetings to discuss the industry, and casting, in addition, to assisting with any questions you have. Let me know if interested. https://preview.redd.it/vw3i6fxrja6a1.jpg?width=959&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2715389c161dd8790d1db9c82241f7b0520e1621
I was a theatre major and was once told by my advisor i'd only ever be cast as 'the mother or best friend' because of "my voice and stature". I can understand typecasting, especially with body size and how shallow hollywood is. But I was constantly lauded in my classes/plays by my professors, fellow students, and peers for my performances and how seriously i took the craft. I know acting and performance i what i want to do. It's the only time I feel like everything stands still and I feel "right". I am trying to lose weight for health and appearance and all (tho i struggle w eating disorders and chronic pain so it's slow going. But since I'm already up there agewise for a female actor (I'm 28, my advisor told me this 5-6 years ago), I really want to get back into local classes or even commute to Philly for acting and improv classes independently. Do you think I should wait until I'm thinner or just say fuck it dive in? I did have an issue at that same college where two separate students in my classes recorded me during monologues and sent it to their friends on snapchat and they were making fun of me (even though I got a perfect score on said monologue and most of the other students loved it). So I'm reasonably scared and nervous of a lack of supportive environment from peers and instructors. I guess I'm looking for advice from anyone who may have experienced something similar and maybe encouragement in general? I love how supportive this environment can be in an industry so brutal. ​ Anyway, I hope you all have a great holilday, whichever you may celebrate!
Hi guys, so I’ve been apart of the Reddit for a while and love the community here and would love some words of encouragement from other actors. This last year has been kinda hard: I’ve been called into a lot of rooms and pinned/ signed test offers for 3 huge series regular roles but I didn’t book any of them. I was able to shake the first one off, the second really affected me (I auditioned for 5 months :’) ) and honestly I feel like this third final rejection has just sucked the soul out of me. I’ve been putting my best in all these auditions and to ultimately lose out every single time… it just makes me feel I’ll never book. (To be fair I’ve booked a couple TV movies as a lead this year, but these were life-changing roles y’know) Anyways so I’m just super sad and I know you have to let the role go after you audition but how can you not get attached after months and signed test offers—anyways what things do you tell yourselves when you don’t book or the industry gets hard. I’m honestly just looking for words of encouragement. I used to tell myself that your heart doesn’t break the same time after every loss, which helped me remember I would never feel the exact same sad as before—but I still feel horrible even if it’s not in the same way so :/ I would love something new or even just advice.
Hi Everybody, I'm a voice actor and a singer who is after some recommendations from this community. When I'm not in my booth auditioning for vocal acting jobs, I take my microphone out of the booth and use it to record my brother and I doing some singing duets (duel mics). My question to all of you who do this, what is a reasonably priced video camera (or webcam perhaps) that I can set up so I can record video to go with the audio for a YouTube channel. I'm sure a few of you would also film themselves for YouTube or social media type jobs. Thanks in advance :)
What’s your staple piece of film that you’re like THIS is an actor!!!!
I was looking at people's stats this year, and I am impressed by a lot of them. If you're a consistently working actor, meaning you're not exactly new to LA and you've been in the business for a while, how many auditions should I expect in a year from an agent? I know the number varies widely, but what is a good number per year (not including self-submissions, just the TV and film auditions from agents). Just wondering because I know not to expect much now in the beginning, but what about later?
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.
