I just moved from a southern state to New York to pursue my goal of being a professional actor. I graduated last year and I’m ready to work! I’ve mostly done theatre work but I want to break into film + television work. Ive only been here for about a month now and I feel so overwhelmed because there’s just so much going on all the time and I don’t know where to look/start. I did my senior showcase and we sent our submissions out to agencies across the US and four or five agents told me to reach out to them when I moved to New York and when I did, no one responded to me. I knew that would be a possibility, so I’m not too upset about that because that’s just the business. I have an actor’s access account and a Backstage account. Could anyone give me some advice about to how to start getting auditions/work in the city and some advice about how to navigate this new city? i’d appreciate anything at all. Thank you!
1. What does an avail check really mean? I read a wide variety of numbers from 5-20 actors being pinned for a co-star on a network tv show, for example, to only 3 actors being pinned. What is the truth? 2. If you've been pinned / avail checked by a CD, what does that mean for the future? They must be aware of who you are at that point, yes? Do they just basically keep you in the rolodex of their mind when the right role pops up? Or, in the case with my reps, they are still submiting me repeatedly, so getting repeat audutions that are not callbacks are not so much casting seeking me out so much as casting say "yes, ok" audition when my reps submit me 3. If you're getting repeat auditions from CDS, like you have gotten 3/4/5/6/7/8/13 auditions from them for over a period of months or years, that has to be a good sign that your acting is on point yes? Or maybe you're acting is not on point, which is why you haven't booked yet? Or, again, casting is just so lazer specific that you just haven't gotten the right role yet. But 13 times? What gives?! 4. Why can't casting show producers other tapes they have of you from other auditions? Wouldn't that simplify the casting process so much and cut away so much unnecessary auduitioning and save everybody so much time? Like it's kind of crazy to audition for like more than 5 different co-stars, in my opinion, like you know what you're going to get from an actor. You can imagine them saying a different 2 sentences based on all their previous work! Or am i crazy? 5. I was pinned for a small suppporting role in a high profile directors feature last summer. I thought i would start getting more auditions from that CD all the time, or something like that. Nothing really happened. FInally got another tape from that same CD almost a year later, for a 3 episode recurring guest on a killer show, so that was cool, but there has to be some sense behind this, some reasoning, why this role as opposed to others, why not anything in the past 12 months? or is it really just random? 6. If some offices give me auditions for primarily co-stars, and a few other offices give me tapes for larger roles, is there any way to capitalize off of that? target certain materials or cater materials towards the CDs differently to be appealing for both co-star+ above at the same time since all kinds of eyeballs are on my materials? 7. For those of you who auditioning for a lot of CD's for a long time, before booking your first co-star... when you finally did book that first co-star... did the rest of things sort of "catch up", since you had already auditioned for so many CDs for so long prior to finally booking? Like a snowball effect? I can't imagine things not increasing in pace once I finally start booking, like more auditions, more bookings, etc. if it doesn't i really just don't understand lol. 7. More to come as I think of them! thanks guys. i thought it would get easier as i "go" but i'm just getting crazier instead.
Howdy! I’m just hoping to hear some successful or generally happy acting-related stories from fellow trans actors right now. I just moved to college from my hometown where I was really struggling to get cast because of a transphobic director, just to be rejected from a community theatre that claimed to really want a diverse cast— And then released the cast list with a statement that two male *ensemble* roles were still TBA Performing is genuinely my one true love, and it would be nice if… I was allowed the chance to do so instead of being stashed away until there aren’t enough cisgender men to fill the principle spots. Anyways, my frustrations aside, PLEASE tell me about your LGBTQ+ wins recently, I need to know that there are trans actors out there that are better off than I am, ahah.
Hello! I’m a young-ish actor located in massachusetts and am going to start taking more classes. I’ve done quite a few plays since i was in fourth or fifth grade, one musical, and some theatre workshops / classes. I’m more interested in the film / television side of things now that it’s becoming more accessible, and was wondering what types of classes would be suitable for the level im at. (scene study, camera work, general introductory courses, etc) thank you!
We can discuss details in the DMs of my account
So, I have noticed a habit that I have. I have ADD, so that might factor into this as well. The habit I have is sometimes, I’ll get bored with a show that I’m doing, and even if I’ve got a decent-sized part in it, I’ll just hit this phase where I’ll think about another show or something else I could be doing. It could be anything; stage combat, guitar playing, painting, acting in another show, etc. And I worry that it’s taking me out of being enthusiastic about the current show that I’m in. Not to say that it takes me out of the moment during scene work. Maybe I’m just overthinking it and making myself anxious. But is this usually a common thing most actors face?
Any advice for an adult actor who has to play a 'smart' 10 year old boy on stage? Its difficult to find a middle ground between well-educated and childish as some of the dialogue is quite mature for the age. I assume its mainly changing energy levels etc but any other advice is appreciated! Thanks
A while ago I got cast in a play at my drama school. At the point that I was cast, the play itself hadn't been written yet, it is newly devised and we only new the subject matter. It sounded really promising though and I was really proud of getting the role! As the weeks went on we started rehearsing, got the script etc....and the play sucks. Like, it's really bad. But I've accepted the role, I really love the people I work with and so it's ok; especially as an actor at the start of my career I know that I can't be too snobby and I wouldn't leave a commitment. We were supposed to perform in May but it was incredibly badly organised (nobody was advertising that it even existed we hadn't even rehearsed all of it, the script kept changing etc.) and we ended up having to move it to September. The director has big plans; after the performances she wants to try to get us into local festivals and more. Unfortunately I have been ill since March. But I was determined to go through with it. But I'm not getting any better and so I'm seriously considering leaving the play. I'm not contractually obligated to stay and I wouldn't be the first to go; it's just that I've really gotten close to the actors and the director there, we're friends and I don't want to disappoint them or be known as a bad friend and a bad actor for just abandoning the play. The only thing keeping me there is them, and potentially being seen by teachers, agents etc. who have been invited and could potentially cast me in their own stuff or take me on. But the play itself is still really bad and if I do go through with it my health might take a turn for the worse once again. I don't know if it's worth doing. A friend advised me that technically to my knowledge I signed on to something that was supposed to end in May so it's no longer my responsibility to stay but I don't know.
Whats up guys, Hope this isnt a bad question. I don’t have a reel just yet but i want to shoot a monologue for practice and to have it ready. I’ve seen a lot of other AA actors my age (24) do the same fresh prince monologue ( my dad doesnt love me scene) so I want to try something completely different than others. I want to be able to try something that shows a whirlwind of emotions but that fits me and can really show what I can do. Any advice?
For those considering an MFA or even just continued training after college, please be meticulous in your research of certain organizations. It is imperative that you understand what you are getting yourself into, especially if, like myself, you are putting down your own money to attend said institutions. I specifically want to \*\*WARN\*\* students/actors/writers/directors/ AWAY from the "Actors Studio Drama School at Pace University." Here, you will certainly not be getting your bang for your buck. You will be spending your entire life paying off an education that is not respected in the industry, nor an institution that even CARES about you. Let me start off by saying that there ARE some great teachers at this institution and there are classes in which great training will be presented to you, HOWEVER, great institutions go beyond this, they foster diversity, a safe place for artists, present opportunities, they respect their students, are transparent with them, hornet with them, invest in student's futures, have an amazing leadership that can be trusted... these elements were not found at "ASDS at Pace University." The root of The Actors Studio Drama School's problems (it's disrespect for students) begins with the school's only purpose of being a money making machine. This money making machine is to the benefit of funding Pace University and its parent institution "The Actors Studio." Students are promised a finalist status after their graduation at the historical Actors Studio, which is a huge selling point for the MFA program. However, The Actors Studio is critically misguided.... the members are rude to students and alumni, the "maternal" figure of the studio ( an Oscar winning actress) is a belligerent bully who especially enjoys going after young women, and the acting space is NO "safe place," let me tell you, it is toxic, vile, and that stage is used for intimidation more than "artistic exploration." Also, if you have attended the Actors Studio Drama School (a school that pays for that institution to stay alive) they mock you for having gone "to that school!" The hypocrisy is WILD. So... imagine if this is your parent institution...the ego, the mistreatment of performers, and more is going to trickle down into your CASH COW...oops, I meant "school." Further, PACE has no interest in the school and does nothing for it. They tried to take the three year track and make it into 2 years to save money for themselves... and were confused when students demanded "black box rehearsal space." The new Chair of the school is a hot mess who lies constantly and does not think students deserve the truth or common decency. You don't get to perform in a full play, NO single play is EVER put up except in your repertory season, which they have been trying to shut down or drastically minimize since 2021. It's all about saving money. I honestly could keep going on and have so many examples of how students have been disrespected and flat out LIED to.... but really this is a warning, do not waste your money and above all, your precious time. I want all actors to THRIVE and unfortunately there are so many institutions willing to exploit your eagerness to be an artist. Do your research (not just google, but asking people, current students, etc) All the best, A concerned artist <3
If anyone else out there uses actors access does it randomly freeze the listings sometimes? Like my breakdown services hasn't been uploading new projects for a couple days now it randomly just freezes then a couple days later it starts back up? That can't be a coincidence even across all the different coasts. Can anyone explain? Thanks!
Hello fellow voice actors! My name is Steele Bird, and I am looking to really step up my game and turn Voice-over and Voice-acting into my career. I finally have a day job that pays the bills while allowing me more time to focus on what the things I am passionate about, mainly creating content and VO. I was able to get my first demo done last year with some coaching, and I would like to hear some constructive criticism on how it sounds, I have long since upgraded my gear and I believe it may be time for another demo in the future (after some much needed coaching and classes). Also if there are any classes, seminars or courses you recommend for someone starting out I would love to see it. I have read through Dee Bradley Bakers, I Want to Be A Voice Actor! As well as taking some courses on Udemy from Peter Baker. [Here it is currently on Soundclound](https://soundcloud.com/steele-birdvo/voice-over-character-demo-2021), A professional website is in the works right now! Thank you all for your time!
Is this a decent going rate? Absurd? When I have looked online it sounds a bit higher than this but I’m new… “as you are new to voice over field, we will be able to offer $15 to $30 per 10,000 words of raw audio”
I gave up acting because I felt like my choice is between living where I live and acting and I’m sad… I’ve rejected so many artistic ventures in my life because they aren’t realistic and I’m trying to build a life. But sometimes I wonder about leaving it all and trying my luck in LA. I don’t want to continue a life without art but I don’t want to leave my country and do it all again
We all know how expensive IMDb Pro is and I'm not sure if it is worth keeping my profile up. I only have 2 credits. One being an indie, short film and one show hasn't even aired yet cause they just started few months ago. Is it worth it?
As an up incoming actress, I do love piercings and plan on getting tats, should I or do any of you have any reservations with getting tattoos or piercings and do you think it could hinder your career? Ps. I am not type casted as a punk or gothic type of person
I'm a really good actor, I have a strong reel, my headshots could be better, I'm AEA member. I've been emailing agents like mad and while they click and open my emails, nothing really comes of it. I did get signed with a manager who has only gotten me like 3 self tapes and they've all been completely out of my age range (I look teen-early 20s, they're 30s-40s). I also interviewed a couple of agents who only wanted me for commercials because "that's where the money is". Is there something I'm doing wrong? Is there a better way to be contacting agents? Should I be mailing them my resume and headshot instead? I'm honestly losing my mind. I don't think this sub is super active, but I'm not sure where else to ask. The industry seems to be underwater due to the pandemic even on a hollywood a-list level, but if there's more I could be doing, I would like to do it.
I’m a good actor alone or with very few people in the room but when it comes to actually performing the scene in front of an audience in class or for a tape. I just melt and loose all my skill and can’t get deep into the scene and connect with the other actor. I just forget pretty much all my skills and collapse my performance. It becomes suddenly impossible for me to focus. Am I alone?
im currently writing lyrics for the undertale soundtrack there will be no payment this is just for fun and will be uploaded to youtube thank you dm me if interested
My daughter is a SAG -AFTRA member and usually works in the US and Canada. She recently auditioned for an Indian web series that’s being produced for Amazon India, and is selected. The production team / business affairs in India doesn’t know anything about SAG so my question is, can I go and work for them or do I have to apply for any waiver or does Amazon India submit any request here in the US? She definitely wants to do this project but not by going against SAG-AFTRA rules. Any guidance or sharing of experiences is highly appreciated. P.S.: I will be calling SAG in the morning. Just wanted to check with fellow actors here since this may not be a very unique problem.
Through TAFTA in Australia, you can pay $250-400 to meet Casting Directors that promise to teach you skills on how to get noticed and build relationships with them over 5-6 hours. I'm wondering if anyone has done these sorts of events and if they're worth it? The casting directors are legit big names in the industry, but I wonder if they're just phoning it in for the cash and have no interest in the actors applying.
Hello! I was wondering if any of you could expand on these questions? 1. What are some red flags I should look for on a management companies IMDB? 2. What rank would a top management company fall under on IMDB? 3. What are red flags about their clients? 4. Most of their clients have a ranking of 25,000+ is that bad? 5. Many of their clients aren't actors but directors and writers? What does that say? 6. What questions were you asked in your meeting? I would appreciate any insight into how to read management companies. THANK YOU!

Hey everyone, I'm looking for two voice actors for my small project.

Helpless and alone, he decides to team up with an odd, mysterious stranger in order to survive.
I just booked a role where I will be playing my violin, and potentially also mandolin and ukulele. Should I be getting any additional pay as a rental fee for using my personal instruments? Contracts have not been drawn up yet. They're some of the most expensive things I own, and I would hate for them to get damaged, especially since we will be working with community children as fellow actors. I've had my personal clothing and shoes rented from me before, but I don't know what the industry standard is with musical instruments. Is fine if it's not standard practice, I would just love to know either way. Thanks in advance!
Seeking actors and actresses who are able to shed tears in front of a camera. This is a paid gig and production will be done remotely so don’t worry about location, though we are based in Houston if anyone is wondering. If you are interested, simply send an audition tape of yourself looking directly at the camera and crying. Nothing else. Please no introductions or additional comments, as we will not consider any videos that include talking (unless you are talking to yourself). The video should be unedited and include the entirety of your process/buildup, as well as everything that comes after your tears (deep breaths, calming down, whatever you do to gather yourself). Basically, we want to see everything from the moment you press record to the moment you press stop. If you are recording an audition on your phone, please make sure it is in landscape mode (turned horizontally). If you have any questions let me know, otherwise you can send your audition video to the email listed below. P.S. If it takes you a couple attempts to cry, that’s okay! Don’t hit stop. We want to see EVERYTHING. We’re not looking for who can cry quickest or best, we’re just looking for actors we think are interesting. So send us everything. The more embarrassing the better :) loafgren@protonmail.com
Hi! This might be silly, but the only others besides me who seem interested in this show are other actors, so I thought I’d ask here. This show is incredibly hard to find and view. But, I’m looking for one specific episode! I’m trying to find Laura Linney’s episode, from season 15. And online, season 15 is the only one that’s fully missing from every website the show is listed on! Same with Amazon Prime, etc. So, does anyone here have any p*rated links or resources for the show or the episode I’m looking for? Any ideas? A girl will do anything to get her ITAS fix. Thank you!
Are there any German or French voice acting communities I could join? I'd like to start voice acting and I have been told I should really try it in English, French and German because I'm good enough to have conversations in English and French and German are my native languages which means I speak them really well. Where should I go for those languages? btw I'd like to voice act for video game mods because I think they lack voice actors and they sound fun to voice act for.
Hey I’m a Bay Area actor who’s looking to form more connections in the LA market before officially moving. I was wondering which studios, classes, or teachers are most talked about or reputed and what they’re known for. On the opposite note which ones should I avoid? I definitely need to develop my overall skills from auditioning, script analysis, character development and so much more and I really want to improve, but I feel I’ve exhausted most of my options in the Bay Area simply due to the quality of teachers and the skills of my peers unfortunately but still want to work on my craft in a meaningful way
I was just thinking about how funny it would be if someone was in a commercial but got annoyed every time something cut to commercial break and it’s their ad
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.
When I was in high school The Outsiders was filming in my city. I knew someone who had a very small role, but at that time I had no clue about what it took to be an actor. I remember thinking that stuff was only for a certain select group of special people. I didn’t know that anyone could become an actor. It was so foreign to me that I just moved on with my life and didn’t think about it again until several years later. Thankfully I have grown beyond those limiting beliefs, but I’m curious what mental obstacles others have faced in their acting journey. Maybe thoughts of not being good enough, not talented, to old/young, not the right looks, etc. I’d love to hear them if anyone would be willing to share. I suspect many of us have had similar limiting thoughts and beliefs that held us back, but it’s very empowering to hear how others overcame them. Thank you!
Hi all, fellow actor here looking to work on my improv and characters I've created. I think having them respond to questions about the world around them could be a good idea to turn into some kind of content similar to Ryan Grorge sketch vibes. So go ahead and ask one of my characters some questions and we'll see what happens! Characters (haven't thought about actual names): Mr Old Squire Nerd Always happy Stoner/ hippy style Presenter Politician
In the last few years I've been struggling with a feeling of numbness and apathy, it stays for a while, it goes for a while, and now since I was starting out as an actor (and was doing ok), now this numbness is back and it took a toll in my acting. I cant feel, I can believe in every single thing my character believes and I can imagine the scenary, truly believe in it, I just cant show I just dont feel as excited about the things I should be.
Hi r/acting! I’m an aspiring actor at the age of 17 living in a fairly small city in europe. I took a beginners theatre class from August last year to May this year and I had so much fun. I want to pursue acting and since new projects will be starting any time now I would appreciate some guidance on what I should do. The same place where I took my beginners theatre class has some projects beginning this fall. In order to give anyone that wants to a chance to act they restrict you to one project only. I would love to do as many things as possible and I intend to mention to those in charge my willingness to do even more. However, assuming I only get to do one project I would appreciate some guidance. At that particular theatre school I can either join an improvisation group which may include some show at the end of the semester ( I love improv) or I could be a part of some play with a semester of rehearsals and a few weekends of shows and performances. (I love this too) I’m looking for something that will prepare me for my future in acting, preferably tv acting. I was recently an extra on a show and learned a lot working there. It is important to mention that I have one year left of school and as previously mentioned there are not many options where I currently live. After the school year is finished I have more freedom so to say. I would appreciate any opinions and feedback and I apoligise for the long read as well as any grammar mistakes as English is not my first language.
Hi folks, So I've been doing audiobooks and other voiceacting for over a year now and voicescloud just contacted me on LinkedIn. They say they're increasing their roster and want me to join. I'm trying to find an agent at the moment, and worry that voicescloud is maybe some kind of fiverr type thing devaluing voice actors? Not keen, but curious for the thoughts of those more experienced. Thanks for reading!
Hey all I was encourage to apply for unemployment as an out of work actor, between supplementing freelance work, but I'm getting confused with application the process since acting income doesn't operate the same way other jobs do. My last acting job was in October 2021, a 1 day co star. Aside from that I've receive residual income from several past acting jobs. The application is asking me to specify my start and end work dates for these various payroll companies (Cast and Crew, Entertainment Partner, NBC Universal, etc) and I'm at a loss for what to put. They all ask to name an immediate supervisor and I'm unsure who to list for that as well. Has anyone else gone through this process that could offer some advice?? I've put this off for months now because every time I look at it I get overwhelmed.
PLEASE bare with me. I have 2 questions here. 1) As I’ve posted before, I’m with a boutique agency, with agents that are really cool and we connected well when i signed last November. However, they don’t really seem to care about me? I asked if there’s anything I can do to increase auditions, they said no everything in my package is great. I have not gotten a ***single*** co-star or guest-star audition this whole year. Just commercials, short films, etc. (that I can get on my own). I recently got my first vaccination this month as my agents were not pushy & believed it’s a personal decision. They told me to wait until Sept 30 to see if SAG removes the mandates. Im just concerned that if I DO continue to wait, and the Covid requirements don’t change, Episodic season will be almost over. 1b) Now, there is an agency I’d LOVE to join, that has actors working a bunch in my age/type range, and no one that looks exactly like me. Only thing is, they are a top mid-level agency, and I’m sure I have to be fully vaccinated & co-stars on my resume. But I have a friend in acting class who is signed with them, and has no credits. I really hate to toot my own horn, but I am a talented actor, I am good looking, I have dance & singing experience, etc and don’t feel like my agency really thinks of me as a priority enough to force me to be vaccinated earlier. (I liked to think they care about health/personal decisions, but now I’m just wondering if I’m not a priority enough) 2) Are other agencies like AEFH, CESD, Greene, etc. prioritized by casting when actors are submitted to roles?
I'm casting for my second project and have worked with a lot of different actors. A lot of creators, Tim Burton being one example, use the same actors over and over. How does this go for the online voice acting community? Is it disrespectful if I cast a few of the actors I've already worked with? I want to give everyone a chance but there are a few actors I really resonate with and want to work with again. How does this go? TLDR; Is it disrespectful to cast the same voice actors in multiple of your projects?
Hi, I've came here to ask a question for actors who have been in productions, is it scary? I really want to act and be in shows/movies/musicals but I'm scared of people sexualizing, and making fun of me. I get really bad anxiety when the thought of doing it comes up. but I really want to since its been an interest of mine for a while. So is it scary to you? (Also the production I've been looking at is a musical so do you have any tips?)
I'm looking for a Latino voice actor to voice a Villain for a story/project I'm currently working on. If interested, email me Sbj.tv@yahoo.com Thank you Paid $100
Hey everyone I was recently cast in small community theatre project. I wasn't too psyched about it but yanno it's more experience and more work means more exposure blah blah... But then a few days ago I was approached with some long term, paid work. I want to take the paid work but it may mean having to let down the other production. I feel if you're not paying your actors you run the risk of this happening but I do feel bad as they're a nice group. It hasn't gone into rehearsal yet but I'm not sure how quickly they'll be able to recast. What should I do? Thanks everyone
I want to be an actor later in life but recently my lazy eye has really been taking a toll on my mental health and self relflection so i was wondering can a lazy eye ruin my chances of acting?
Hello all, Just found this sub and it looks like an excellent place to get to know other actors and talent to learn from! I had some fairly general questions to try to figure some things out for vocal training and coaching. So, I'm getting serious about becoming a voice actor and I know I have some specific strengths I want to play toward, and I'm sure a coach will even help me figure out other strengths too. As a side note, I have a booth set up in my home and decent equipment has already been procured. The setup aspect was fairly simple. My personal goals as a voice actor is getting into animation (be it anime dubs or western animation), video games, e-learnings and commercials. I know that I for sure want to work on technical aspects and I'll need profesional help with things like a demo reel as well. The only thing that I'm finding a tad bit overwhelming is finding suitable coaches for what I want to accomplish. I have looked through a few site like voices to get some ideas, but I'm not exactly who to look for and how. Should I be focusing on people with the specific experiences of those fields? Does that matter? Should I be more concerned with the technical aspects of the coach for those individual fields? Should I be getting more than one coach? I really have been trying to find a lot of this on my own, but I do feel overwhelmed with the sheer choices and different experiences. I know I want a coach over classes because I need that 1:1 interaction, I just am getting lost in the sauce on how to go about it. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated!
Hello amazing actors of Reddit! I have just finished shooting a short film and while in post, we decided we want an additional voice recording of only 3 lines. This film will be entered into our local film festival. If anyone would be down for recording (no professional equipment required) please do message me on here. Thank you all!
A fellow actor told me that I have a great look, but if I go into an audition and don’t perform well, it’ll be noted, making it harder to get auditions. Is this true?
Hey guys! I am booking very frequently now, and if it keeps going the way it is, I can see joining ACTRA as a possibility soon. Did you guys wait til you had X credits or relationships built with X amount of cd's? Or did you get your card the moment you were offered the chance. Thanks! For me I have 5 shows, 3 commercials and 1 credit. Very strong relationship with 2 cd's.
I cant work out where it says the submission deadline is
I was told by a fellow actor who’s been in several notable productions that a lot of the time nowadays, a selfie is asked for when submitting headshots rather than actual, professional headshots, presumably due to COVID. Is this really true?
Weeee, you found me!
I'm your buddy Bottie, I was hiding behind the scenes, but now that you've found me I'd be happy to tell you what I'm doing.
I just wrote a few fun facts about Web For Actors
