[https://youtu.be/4IUOFbjFOoc](https://youtu.be/4IUOFbjFOoc) Hey everyone I'm a voice actor just looking for some insight and new ideas out there from the community and thought I would share my first audiobook posted on Youtube! If you have any suggestions for new books for me to do, let me know!
Anyone else’s headshot blurry when they upload it on actors access, anyone know how to fix that??
This is kind of embarrassing to admit but I tend to gather a lot of saliva in my mouth if I talk for long periods of time. This is even more evident since I tend to articulate my words more than " the typical screen actress". Usually when acting this isn't a problem but recently I've started auditioning for a Shakespeare recreation. My character has a long monologue and towards the end you can hear me losing clarity due to the saliva. Does anyone have any tips on how to improve that? I've tried the old pen in the mouth trick but I haven't seen much improvement.
It’s been nearly 3 years that I’ve wanted to become an actor but I’m not too sure about. Before I didn’t think I would want to become and actor because I find acting really awkward. I still find it really awkward and I also have anxiety. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to do it. I’m not doing much right now, I don’t know what to do and I feel lost. I’m thinking about giving acting school a try and when I told one of my family members that I might join an acting school they said you have to be confident and will I be able to perform in front of other people? This just really worried me and I started to doubt myself if I will be able to do it. I also have depression and I have become really unsocial. I feel like I really want to act and become an actor but I don’t belong in that field. I don’t what I’ll be like and what an acting school will be like and if I’ll be able to act. I really don’t know what to do?
I've been searching/aplying to various companies that hire remote workers but a lot don't hire in CA/L.A (99% sure because of our min wage.) Does anyone here have a work at home job or know of any companies that will hire CA residents? Thank you for any help!
I recently came across the term "crossboarding" in filming TV shows which is where they film scenes in the same location across multiple episodes (correct me if I'm wrong). I've heard this is becoming quite a popular way of filming. Has anyone here ever worked on a TV show that filmed this way? Is it effective? How many pages do you guys finish per day on average? I'm wondering because I'm starting a production company with my friends and every member including me is an actor AND some position behind the camera (for me it's screenwriting) so we're trying to figure out if we were to crossboard for our projects how effective it would be and how much we'd accomplish in a day. Thanks!!
my comic can be read on readmotherearth.com Looking for middle-low register female voices for the main character (~20 lines) and her daughter (like 2 lines lol). Need anyone who can voice act the children too. Room for misc. male voices if interested too.
Hello fellow actors. I am currently a theater actor and in AP Research, this is my senior year of high school. My paper is regarding Discrimination in the Theater Industry, and through my literature review, I found a gap regarding the effects it has on mental health. I am conducting a survey to answer that gap. If you guys would like to fill out this 5-minute survey regarding how discrimination in theater has affected your mental health, it would be greatly appreciated! ​ [https://forms.gle/QUtV6MgzhTzBcWiN8](https://forms.gle/QUtV6MgzhTzBcWiN8) ​ Disclaimer: While this data will be anonymous, it will be used in my paper, and your taking the survey gives me your consent to use your data.
I’ve wanted to be an actor for almost 3 years now I’m 14 years old 5’11 decent looking And unique sorta I think but I really just love that your a whole different person while acting it’s like watching your self in different life’s I watch these actors living different life’s in each film and it just something about being someone else but anyway I really have no life plans I just wasn’t gonna try at all in my life cause I’ve only ever wanted to act I don’t except to become a star just expect to be paying the bills with acting or at least close to it I have a uncle that lives in LA he’s been in a movie he said he can help me out and that I should start now I’m going to move to LA once I’m 18 I’m moving to Arizona very soon I just know I need to take acting classes but first I’m going to get headshots to just post to sites I just need help on what do I do after I did acting classes for 3-4 years and after I got my photos how do I get a acting agent or how can I get a talent manager I’ve been looking in to one of those I’ve heard the actor for breaking bad walts son for got his name he had a talent agent at a young age someone just give me some advice I really want to do this I’ve tried doing this already 4 times I was gonna get headshots but always worried about what if it fails but like I said I’m dropping out soon I have no plans so I’m going to really really pursue acting if it doesn’t work out oh well then at least I tried what I wanted to do gonna give it till 30 then what ever happens in my life happens I don’t even care anymore so I’m not worried at all anymore about not getting anywhere with acting I’m going to try as hard as I can to become and semi successful actor I heard acting you can get lucky at any point it just takes one movie one show
I had an audition with them, although they say their are no upfront fees I have an off feeling about it. I saw a review that was from 5 years ago saying they ended up having to take classes and do expensive photos with them, but the agency responded to the review saying it wasn’t true lol, so no clue what to believe. They say they are a member of actra, but are not on the site. A few of their actors have some good credits but I’m still a little worried. Im very new, so it might just be horror stories. I’ve been doing pretty well booking from self submissions too so I’m scared to sign and get less work!!
I explored LA for a bit and was lucky enough to be accepted into Marjorie Ballentine's master class, and I was pumped to begin, but life brought me back east so I wasn't able to take the class. I'm looking for similar level master classes so I can be around people better than me, actors working at the guest / recurring / series regular level that I can learn from. I don't want to join a mixed level class. Bob Krakower, I'd love to take classes with obviously, but he hasn't accepted new students in quite a while. Vance Barber, one of his disciples, requires you to have studied with Bob first. Eric Reiss, he's been on my list for a long time too but his classes are still over zoom, and I really want to get back to acting in person with 20 people staring at me when I do it. Everything else I can find seems to be mixed-level or still over zoom. David Gideon, Karen Giodano, Anthony Abeson are all on my list as well. What other classes exist that I should research? I'm trained in meisner so I'd like to explore other techniques. I'd love to find a great clowning class, as I've never done that before. Getting into a reputable improv track that could potentially lead to being able to perform regularly on a team is something I'm interested in too, but I'm not seeing much for that these days. What classes changed the game for you / helped your break through to the next level in terms of skill level? Thanks for your help!
Hello reddit I’m a M18 and acting is one of my biggest dreams. I currently am in community college first year in San Francisco. In high school I didn’t do theater .I was to nervous and always afraid I would forget my lines and get bullied, last time I was in a play was elementary school, I was a lead but forgot 1/4 lines. I still remember the line I forgot till this day. In high school I was in Video Production for 3 years(editing/directing class, it was really cool) we made skits and every other Wednesday it will be shown to the school via bulletin if your skit was good enough. A handful of times me and my group would make it in the bulletin and I would be a main character in our skits. I loved it. I’ve always struggled in school just to find out last year I was diagnosed with ADD, anxiety & low self esteem. It all made sense when I was diagnosed, the puzzles connected haha. Now that I’m 18 I really want to get out there and start my acting career. I feel even more motivated because I’m getting alot of compliments of how good I look now, and that I should model(which is another goal of mine but that’s for another subreddit I should talk about. I have backstage and actors access but they always ask me to pay to submit to a role. Which one do I trust? Apparently it’s very important to have a agency representing you as well. Let’s say I want to someday play as a superhero for like DC or marvel, how can I get a chance to audition? I pretty much dm Sarah Finn every week to pray one day she sees my messages. My biggest fear is getting a role I’ve been waiting for just to overthink and forget my lines. Is there any method anyone knows to glue it in my brain(at the right time)is this dream of mine realistic?
There is a casting office in Tampa with an older lady behind a desk who would check actors in. I think her name is “Kathy?” I remember her being such a vile person. She would talk down to me all the time even though I’d book commercials through the office. I tried so hard to be friendly with her but she would never let it happen. Even when I was leaving and heading to LA, I tried to give her a thoughtful goodbye, which went like this: Me: "Hi, I just wanted to let you know it's been nice meeting you at this office. I'm moving to LA." K: "Moving to LA? Are you SAG YET?" Me: "No not yet." (I am now) K: "Well, good luck then, because you're just gonna be another face in the crowd." I was a bit stunned that someone who also would talk so highly of herself in "the industry" would belittle so harshly other actors...over nothing at all. I ended up booking such amazing roles in my career that I am so thankful for, but I know she wouldn’t care, and would probably find a way to talk him down. The only people I’d see her talk nice to were way overly bubbly actors who I believe were paying for her acting class. Maybe she was a good teacher. I don’t know, can’t say. I’ll just never forget her attitude. The worst I ever came across. Anyone else? If not her feel free to share your own story.
Sometimes I get very into a TV show and it gets me thinking: Yes, I want to do what they do! But at the same time, when I imagine the life of a professional but not famous actor who has to accept most of the roles he is offered it starts to lose its appeal... I also don't want to do theatre. I feel like if it were truly about the art of acting for me, I would want to it. But I don't. It always seemed rather silly to me. Or is it common to not want to do theatre but TV? I've also noticed that I'm okay with being an average actor. I don't really strive for greatness in my craft. But then again... so many famous actors don't seem all that ambitious about their acting. So many seem to be just okay but not amazing actors. But well maybe they were only in it for the fame too... I've always wanted to be famous but didn't care about acting until I hit my 20s...
Hey guys. I know we all go through this on our acting journey but I’ve been in a hole for the last few months. It seems like I’m sending really good tapes, my agent is impressed with and people I do them with, studio, etc. I just can’t book anything. I’ve been with my agent for over a year, had a few pencils and feedbacks at the beginning but for over 6 months I must’ve taped at least 25 times and I heard nothing…. Nothing… I just don’t know what’s going on. It crashes my confidence. No feedback no nothing. I am ashamed to say I’m an actor when somebody asks me what I do. I just don’t know. Became really confused lately. Not sure if I should be doing it. Yeah I love it and I really want it and I work and invest in it but I don’t know. Like anything… even “hey thanks for your tape it was ok”. I don’t know. I’m really close to just giving up. I don’t really know what I want from this post. Maybe you have an advice or something.
Is it good for a new actor career to act in Bollywood? I’ve heard mix’s things about it
If you’re in a legit tv show, do you get a script for all of the episodes in it’s entirety or do you just get scripts for whatever episodes you’re going to be in? I always assumed it was only the scenes or episodes that the actor was going to be in because I’ve heard some actors say that they didn’t find out certain parts of the show they were in until they watched it. Thanks I’m advance!
I’m 18 and I’ve really wanted to be an actor since I was young, but I’ve noticed in movies and shows there aren’t much asian actors. Now I’m not talking about movies like crazy rich Asians, or everything everywhere all at once, or even movies like Shang chi. I’m just wondering what are the chances of an Asian actor being a main character in a show or movie where his race is not the main focus of the movie?
So im from a country which makes being an actor quite harder than if i were to live in the Uk or America. So i was just wondering if there are any international acting agencies or, basically, which would be the earier way to get into acting in another country, visa wise and stuff.
Hey gang, so I'm on the search for a boutique agency in the UK. I currently have a commercial agent and I'm part of a coop agency, this year has been quite a good year in terms of progression and the jobs ive managed to book so im fortunate to be able to take the time throughout December to renew my marketing materials to hit the new year running and send out some emails and apply for representation. One of main goals of my career for 2023 is to find an agency that i can have a proper positive relationship with, who i can talk to about what i can do to improve my casting chances and what jobs to take/turn down if i find them byself (i just finished a job that nearly broke me, it was an aweful production, if i had an agent i feel i could discuss it with maybe i wouldnt have taken it...). Im doing my own research as well but id love to hear from fellow actors what agents they have/have had good experiences with, who feel theyve been treated well and they've got good auditions for TV or Film roles, as this is my preferred chosen area. Thank you so much in advance for anyone who is willing to share this kind of information :)
Hi team, I had a little studio that worked, but my Mum got a Stage 4 Cancer diagnosis, so we moved closer to the hospital. I WOULD NOT CHANGE THAT DECISION EVER, as we are only 20 minutes from the local hospital. I really need help. I stopped doing any work, as the ONLY house I found (and was accepted into) is on a train line. EVERY single room has multiple windows...all the closets , toilets, every room has windows. My Mum has said we should move so I can continue to work, but,,,, really???, No, can somebody give some ideas to make this place work? I will gladly give up work so my Mum is close to the hospital. However, If we can make it work...AMAZING. Thanks in advance everybody...xx
My town as a haunted house that is one of the more well known places of the town. There are two parts of the haunted house/asylum which is the Ghost tour in the main building and the haunted house in the side building. Would putting scare actor on a resume as experience be good or in this case would it not count as part of a film? Wanted to know if it'd count. Thanks!
Hello, I am a UK based actor and new to the industry. I am undergoing my first paid role next month. I requested a contract to pass on to my agent and one of the producers responded saying: “We don’t have a contract prepared for your agent.” I think they maybe have misunderstood and thought I wanted a contract for the agent but I just want my own contract. Not sure what to reply as I don’t want to come across in experienced. Any help would be really appreciated
I did the talent link on actors access and I received a message from someone saying theyre interested in representing me. What do I ask, how do I know if they're a right fit for me?
I signed with Evolution Talent Agency about a year ago. This is my first agency, so I’m fairly new to this. Honestly, I’m a bit frustrated because 99% of the time they only send extra roles. The rest is basically up to me to go on actors access and pay them I believe 20 percent for non sag, and 10 percent for sag. The way I got signed was with an audition for them. They made us all read a Sears script, which seemed pretty stupid for film and television to me considering there was no way to really gauge emotional depth from a 3 sentence sears commercial script. Afterwards they signed me, and just threw me a two year contract with no formal meeting or even a brake down of what it means to sign with the agency. Fast forward, I’m kind of at a point where I feel pretty frustrated, because I don’t get what’s the point of being signed by an agency just to submit to extra roles that I could’ve done myself. A brief history and background for myself, I’ve edited for Mr.Beast. Won a Best Visual Effects award for my first film. I somehow impressed the lead sound designer of the Twilight Saga, who actually worked on my first film film. Also went on the Red Carpet at the Cannes Film Festival in France. Before the beast channel I kinda hit a crash and basically built my reel from the ground up. Don’t mean to sound like a glorified douche, just wanna show I’m passionate about things. Just wanted to know from other actors if the whole extras thing and barely any auditions is usual. At this point, I don’t feel like this is an agency I can really advance my career with. And would love feedback on what I may need to do better.
What does it mean to be a “technical actor”? How does this compare to, say, and emotional actor? What is the opposite of a technical actor? Are there certain advantages to being a “technical actor”? What kinds of projects and work would “technical acting” be more suited towards? Thanks everyone!
I have a question about (and for) Asian actors based in the US and UK. Have there been instances where you got casted for an Asian role but it’s not your ethnicity? For example, the character is supposedly Japanese but you’re Korean. Does that happen a lot? How do you feel about it? If this is inappropriate, please feel free to delete this post.
I have little to no reel footage. I have a small bit of footage that I made from a short film project I shot on film that I am in. I have headshots from modeling and collaborations I have done. I've been applying to all sorts of projects on backstage and actors access, i get auditon requests, and then crickets. I know it is the nature of the biz. But I really would love to land an agent for the sake of representation. I have a list of SAG agents I would like to send my headshot/best self tape/very limited reel to, but is it even worth it to do? Do agents entertain new actors with little to no experience/reel footage?
I’m just curious what you guys think are the more common/more competitive actor types? Like gender, race, size, etc. I think there is a proper word for it but it’s slipping my mind! I know it is competitive for everyone, but I would assume a 22 year old women would have a harder time booking roles than say a 55 year old? Curious on all your thoughts!
I currently live in Columbus, Ohio and am looking to try applying to talent agencies for acting. Does anyone have any experience with the Helen Wells Agency or Heyman Talent agency? I can't find many reviews of them online besides the few that are on Google and the majority of those are from years ago. I was also trying to check out PCG Talent but again, their Google reviews are from years ago, and it's hard to find out anything else about them. They have a website, however, they don't have a FAQ section nor do they give any information on how to apply or what their process is; just a contact form and that's it. If anyone here is a new/small time actor residing in Columbus, OH, do you mind sharing any info you have on these three talent agencies, please? I just want to hear honest experiences, so anything anyone can share is greatly appreciated. Also, if you are from Columbus and used another talent agency outside of these, please do share!
Beginner actor here that will be taking acting 1 at HB studios. I wanted to take an extra class or two. For those that went to HB studios or any other acting company what were other acting classes you took or would recommend me to take?
Is anyone familiar with minimum pay rates for equity actors at a LORT theatre? My daughter has a role on a non-union contract in a show running through the end of the year at a LORT "B" theatre in one of the unnamed cities. The casting calls all listed $1008 per week as the minimum pay, but she took a non-union contract so she gets significantly less. But some of the equity cast has said they don't get paid that much either. We'd like to understand equity pay a little better to see if it makes sense to join before her next role. I feel like SAG has been easier to understand... (she's eligible but she's held off joining while she builds her resume, and non-union actors on a SAG set still get paid well). Does anyone know the ins and outs of AEA?
I've always loved acting since being in a few short films as a kid during summer camp, being in a few theatre productions in elementary, and taking drama class in high school. I haven't formally taken acting classes yet, nor have acted since high school. I am 22, and live in Ottawa, Canada. Ottawa isn't known for being a great place for actors, as compared to Toronto and Vancouver. Yes, there are a few places to take acting lessons, however, there isn't really much. Toronto has great acting classes, and Toronto acting classes tend to be better, and have a better outcome for actors. I currently work a 9-5 job making 70K. I have over 20K saved. While I am currently satisfied with my job, I don't see myself in that career path for the rest of my life. I've always loved Toronto, and always wanted to move there. I've always had a dream to pursue acting professionally, which I haven't started yet. I'd be opening to leaving my job, and pursuing acting full-time, if I am able to money from it. Should I move to Toronto, take classes there, where I have a better chance at landing roles? This would be a higher risk, but the potential reward would be greater. Should I stay in Ottawa, and take weekend/night acting lessons, where there isn't a big acting scene? I would still keep my current job, but I will be harder for me to land roles. I want to start acting, but I don't know if I should stay in Ottawa, or move to Toronto?
I've been thinking about trying out voice acting and I've been trying to get past that "hating my own recorded voice" phase. However, my voice is kind of a unique tone so it's been hard I was just wondering, are there any voice actors out there with voices that are similar to mine and if so, can you tell me about them? I know this might be a weird request, but I feel like hearing their performances and broadening my understanding of my voice might help me get over this anxiety and I just don't know where to start looking Here's a recording of my voice for reference [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81xLFGhOMMA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81xLFGhOMMA) Anything you can provide me would be appreciated
I just started seriously pursuing acting in January. In an effort to have a best package possible and start off on the best foot so far, I've been taking a steady stream of classes and just got updated headshots from a great/well known photographer in NYC; the training has added some bulk to my resume. The biggest issue is that I can't even book a student film to get credits for my resume, and therefore build a demo reel. I have a couple of self-tape clips for my Backstage and Actor's Access. I've had several auditions from Backstage, and even made it all the way to final call back for a lead in a short film that came down to another actor and myself (losing that one hurt, but we trudge forward!). I also booked a lead for a student film off of Backstage and was invited to film in NYC, but got ghosted so that fell apart. Overall, I'm trying not to get down on myself and keep going, but I just keep thinking that if I can't even land a student film, how can I even stand a chance? Thank you for listening/any words of encouragement or advice!
I have casting network but believe I can submit with the free version. There's a cyber deal at $59.9 shall I get it? I believe there's no way to submit without it or am I missing something? I know there's actors access but I believe we have to pay to submit too? Any cyber monday deals on that one? ​ I'm in miami, florida, non-union. Just want a platform that gives me opportunities.
Question ya'll about Slate shots on actors access. I'm trying to find where to put my general slate shot, would that just be under media? and if so, is that a performance video? I had been advised against individual slate shots for each headshot (both arguments make sense to me tbh). Ive been able to book some good work without it, curious to see if there'll be an uptick. Just can't find where to put this thing. Cheers ya'll!!
Hello~ I was just curious to see how fellow American actors are doing in London? I was interested in getting some training there, but wanted to know if some of you stayed in London afterwards. How has your experience been? Has it been difficult to get opportunities (film or theater) as an American?
Hey yall! I am an actress but have decided to also start making my own content. I am currently working on my first short film. This story will center around mental illness. The story starts when a woman finds a box of letters buried in her garden. Throughout the film you can see her spiral. I used my galaxy s21 ultra camera, ntg2 shotgun mic, ring light, and davinci for editing. I'd love any feedback!
Hello everyone! I hope you are all well. I have a question about networking. I managed to get few days as a background actor in The Crown season 6 and all I want to do is to have fun, learn as much as possible and to expend my network. Do you know any tips on how to give your details to the producers or director without sounding desperate and annoying? How can I maximize my chances of getting noticed by the decision makers and giving my contact details to them and hopefully getting a speaking role in the future? Best wishes, Alex P.S: I am on Spotlight and I don't have an agent right now. I am currently trying to find a new one.
I'm thinking of practicing voice acting to be capable of copying the voices of friends and family. Can you do this as voice actor? If yes, did it come intuitively after practicing voice acting after a while or did you need a mindset/method switch to achieve it?
There are two things that come to mind to me, many years trying (with varying success) to make a career in acting that I *wish* someone told me when I left college with my theater degree: 1 - The moment you give yourself a timeline for success you are setting yourself up for disappointment -- acting is a process, a journey that has its crazy share of twists and turns, up and downs. Give yourself some kind of chronological timeline ("I want to have my first TV role by 24" or something like that) hobbles you. (It's so tempting, too--I went to NY before LA and was so frustrated that my contemporaries were all getting TV and Film roles before me, like they were winning some kind of race.) I got this advice from a working actor in a waiting room and it really stuck with me. Your path is your path. If other people you know are working, be happy - that means people are working and there are jobs out there for all of us! 2 - Odds are that what you are feeling emotionally as an actor in the scene is really close, at its core, to what the character is feeling. There was a really great documentary on the making of *Portrait of a Lady* where Barbara Hershey was waiting for her scene to get set up. It was in the middle of the night and it was freezing, and they were making it rain--it was miserable, and all her co-stars and crew were warm, dry and having much better night. She felt lonely and excluded and cold and frustrated...just like her character. Mamet points this out in several of his books and, at my friend reminded me that the Meisner technique echoes this. So, whenever I get frustrated or anxious or confused when dealing with scene, I give into those emotions / pressures and let it inform the performance. That awareness has helped me a lot. Curious and grateful to read what you would share with your previous selves!!
Hello all! My name is Matt Strauser and I came to shamelessly beg for your vote. I am an actor around the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. Recently, I was nominated for “Best Supporting Performer” by Dallas Broadway World for a role I played in Plano earlier this year and it would mean to world to me if you could take a second to shoot me a vote. I think the award would be a step in the right direction for my career. To vote, all you need to do in put in your email address and when you’re done, open the confirmation email. The website can be kind of scammy, so if you hit the wrong button and it asks for your credit card info, go back! You don’t need to do all that. When you’re done, please shoot me a DM so I can thank you personally! Thank you! [Vote Here!](https://www.broadwayworld.com/dallas/voteregion.cfm)
When you approach a role as an actor there’s a specific mindset you just have. 1) this isn’t a passion project for a film studio. They don’t spend millions of dollars on passion projects. The studio wants to make money 2) casting directors want to know if you’re talented but they also want to know if your bankable. 3) if you go the student film route, you get student film results. Work with professionals who have been in the trenches and have seen first hand how things get made. Take their advice instead of shitting on it. Don’t approach a Director or Producer like you’re gods greatest gift to the industry and they’ve been waiting their whole life for you to magically walk into the room and blow their minds away. Sure, command presence, but listen. When I get hired by one of the biggest companies in the world, I go through several interviews. Process of elimination. I have to prove to them I know what I’m talking about. Same as an actor, you could be a talented actor, but are you right for the team? If you treat this like a hobby, then we will know. If you create work that isn’t professionally shot, or the other actors are terrible, that’s what the audience walks away with.

To all of you who have an actor website, how did you decide which host and/or platform to choose? I used to have Wix. But they changed plan pricing and algorithm, so I dumped them. I'm now in the market searching for a better, professional hosting and domain. But there are so many to choose from! I did try looking on a few of my actor friends' websites, to see if such info was at the bottom somewhere. But couldn't find anything because of VPN security whatnot. There's Zyro (that's apparently THE actor host/site), Weebly, Google Domains, Blue Host / WordPress, WP Engine, IONOS. Each with competitive pricing and annual terms ranging from $13 and $25 /yr. Please and Thank You :) :) :)
As a marketing mascot and fully costumed character, I've done a lot of work for internal corporate and public commercial spots over the past 10 years, with a video resume and many satisfied clients. I can multi-task and am willing to do many types of projects like motion capture and puppetry, anything to use my existing experience as a character performer. The crew sections of the casting sites I've checked out (actors access, backstage) seem focused on the sound and lighting type of work. While I've had some interest from representatives I've spoken with, I don't have a desire to do commercials showing my face. What I am asking advice for: What is the best way to present myself to make the selection process easiest for casting directors and stunt coordinators? And how should I go about this conversation when speaking with a representative or an agency? And how should I translate my previous industry experience within conversations with agencies? Any and all advice is appreciated. I don't know where else to post this so feel free to redirect me if you know of a more appropriate spot, thanks for reading!

I am NOT an actor, but I’ve always thought it’d be fun. I’ve never been able to keep straight faces with my family or in awkward situations. When I was very young, my parents brought me to a cereal commercial audition, but little me could not stop laughing in the face of whoever was trying to give me my lines. Years later, I actually became the lead role in my elementary school play (I do not know how). And now, in my high school days I asked my family if I should get back into trying to act, and they all said, “no, you laugh too much, you can’t even keep a straight face now.” And it was true! But, now I’m curious if any of y’all ever had a similar struggle when it comes to laughing or smiling, just curious.
Weeee, you found me!
