I recently auditioned for a series regular role. They gave me plenty of time to do so, about five or six days from when I got my AA eco cast request which was nice. But after I submitted the audition the deadline was extended. They’ve extended the due date twice already lol. Now normally I try to move on right after an audition because at the end of the day my job is done once my self tape is sent. Booking is a bonus. At least that’s how I try to look at it but it’s easier said than done. But every time I get a new eco cast from my agent this other project is in my pending submissions on actor access so it’s kinda hard to not think about. Just wondering if this is normal. This is my first time auditioning for a project this big so I’m not sure what the usual standards are.
So I recently asked about the Actors Connection Fast Track program. Just sat in on a seminar about it and wasn't too thrilled with what I heard. So now I'm trying to figure out what my next move is. I want to enroll in some sort of acting class. I have experience (graduated with a BA in musical theatre) but didn't get as much training as I think I personally needed during college. I want to shift away from MT towards straight theatre/film/TV. I've looked at a few different studios so far but I really don't know which one to go with. If it helps I'm looking at doing online classes. So far I've looked at: The Barrow Group, HB Studio, Lee Strasberg, Stella Adler, and Atlantic Acting School. If any of y'all can share some insight or direct me somewhere else I might not have thought of that would be great. Thanks!
I'm moving to Atlanta on June 1st to pursue acting as I've just finished my degree. Does anyone know of any good headshot photographers that they would recommend? Additionally, I've already found a ballet studio and a few acting classes I'd like to audit and hopefully sign up for, but if anyone has any good recommendations please share! I've visited a few times but will still be relatively new to the city. Also, if anyone is looking to make more friends, I'll definitely be in need of some as it is just me (21F), my bf (22M), and our dog! Please reach out!
So I've been in a show recently and I love my roles. I love the cast too. But my mental health is terrible. I was at a psychward during rehearsals and then got my meds suddenly changed. I'm experiencing terrible withdrawals from it. Heavy mood swings, inability to concentrate, terrible depression... I can't get in character. I can't act at the best of my ability as usual. I can barely last rehearsals cause I'm exhausted. Tech is later this week and shows the next. I just don't know what to do. If I should endure this or drop late in the game? I don't want to ruin my chances of never getting accepted into future shows with this company again due to dropping so late. But at this point I also think they wouldn't cast me cause I'm just a weak actor now. Staying at home makes my depression worse and my parents keep telling me to get out. Legit just don't know what to do. Please help.
It's been strange for the past few months. I've been working on 3 shows (one of them is done at least, thank God) and plus work on the side and college, I really feel like I overworked myself, so that could be the reason. But acting was something that was a safe place to let loose to me. But past few months, the passion has been turning on and off, but it's off most of the time. It's starting to feel like a chore and I get so stiff and uninspired on rehearsals. I'm just going through my lines while worrying about what I'm doing right or wrong and not really feel what I'm saying. The director also wants us to improvise a lot which is really not one of my strengths, never has been. I like to plan carefully because it takes me a bit to really get in and set myself free. But that's not a good trait for an actor to have. I also feel like I developed a small ego problem, which adds fuel to the fire. I'm starting to take director's criticism to heart and though I try not to show it, it fills me with such a burning rage and I hate that and that makes me even more angry. Sometimes I'll really get into the rehearsal with the right energy, but one harsher criticism and boom, deflated and I'm beating myself up for not being perfect all the time and can't stop thinking about everything I'm doing wrong. Last year, I was doing amazingly. This year, it's like I hit a brick wall. And I love performing and acting. I don't understand why I suddenly can't let myself relax and enjoy the ride, so I wanted to see how you guys dealt with those kinds of problems.
Hi everyone, thanks for the support throughout the years. I was recently asked to be the lead in a feature film. The actor in me is on cloud 9 so happy! ... But it's unpaid and would mean I'd lose my job. I don't have enough saved that I can afford next month's rent to survive. Here's some defining info: - Unpaid - Distribution will be Amazon Prime - Camera quality looks horrible! Lighting is just flat. The lens choice makes it look like video not film - Filming will be for 2-3 weeks - Would have to give up my position at work - Would be my first lead in a feature film I feel like if they paid and it wasn't going to be the typical indie "14-16hrs a day" work days, I'd jump for it. Even despite the quality. But my rent needs to be paid, that's my worry. What would you do? Feeling pressured to say yes to it since it's a Lead.
New to the Bay Area and former SAG eligible, fortunate to make a living (not a wealthy living just a notch above starving artist) film and TV actor looking for any and all recommendations but ESPECIALLY acting classes. Just for context I’ve done features to commercials to short films to student films but have to start all over since leaving it years ago. I know it will take time, I’m eager just to get involved in even student films again. So any recommendations in the following acting realm around the Bay Area would be greatly appreciated: Acting classes/coaches? Audition postings (student films to professional. I assume some of the classics remain like backstage etc but what about new FB groups etc) Managers/Agents (I won’t be going for these anytime soon but figure asking now gives me goals) Forums and or networking events and groups (any group of event that I can start meeting others and networking) Thank you kindly.
Okay. I apologize if this has been posted before and I am unaware. I read the FAQ’s though and didn’t see it. I am an actor. I’ve been seriously acting for about 2 years now. I graduated with my AA in 2020. I’ve been taking film acting classes for about a year now in Atlanta with a really great studio. So, to pay the bills to support my career goals, I have been a server for quite sometime. I’ve been in the service industry for about 7 years now. Guys, I’m BURNT OUT. and when I say burnt out, I am soooo sick of… well… the public. What can I do? I want to have a flexible schedule without feeling guilty about having to potentially call out for an audition/role etc. I’ve been thinking about TaskRabbit, Hux, Rover and other independent contractor jobs like this. Can I survive doing these full-time? What do you guys do to support your career?
I'm a new voice actor, started in November. Was recording pretty consistently (for working full time) all though the winter, then may happened all the grass grew and for the past few weeks very time there's a break in the mowing, I start to record only for a different mower to start up. Also AC's have been a problem. Do I just need to keep doing retakes? or build a better booth? Is there a secret?
I have ADHD, and I look dead behind the eyes. All the time. Even when I'm not acting. I got made fun of for it in theatre school; people would say I always 'looked high'. And it's true; I can't seem to override this distant, spacey, childlike thing. I have found ways to use it. One of my roles that I got the best feedback for was a young autistic girl. I also think I made great use of this odd quality in a recent-ish project. But I don't want that to be my whole thing. I did have a problem with mentally checking out during my scenes a while back. I could feel it happening, but I couldn't seem to override it. I've gotten better at it over the past few years, especially now that I've been diagnosed. I started Ritalin for a bit last year, and I did notice I looked more present on camera. I also used to break a lot, and now I have less trouble with that. I'm still in the process of getting on the correct dose of Vyvanse (new doctor). I still have moments where I struggle with properly listening to the other actor (and I think getting the hang of it will be tougher for me than for most people). But even when I think I'm listening, even when I'm focusing so hard on my actions (or so I think), I have that dead look. Actors with ADHD (or other neurodivergences), have you ever noticed this in your acting? Were you ever able to overcome it or work with it? Are there techniques, tools, or schools of thought you found particularly useful? I'm thinking Meisner might be useful for me, but it's hard to find classes for it in my area.
i have no experience in acting whatsoever but it’s something i’ve always wanted to do. i just applied for a local commercial yesterday as an extra just to get some experience on camera. i’m interested in taking classes and learning the basics. any advice for a novice actor would be amazing! (very novice)
Hi all, short time lurker ready to dive in! I have always loved acting but kids and work and other life stuff meant it is only since I turned 40 last year I have been able to really have a go. I have a few years of private lessons under my belt and two levels of classes at my local community theatre. I have done 5 auditions so far, and scored 2 roles - "Nanny Cook" in 101 Dalmatians and "Hatter" in a musical adaptation of "Alice in Wonderland". The writer/director of Alice walked the talk on inclusivity so I worry giving me a lead (the main bad guy) has given me a false belief in my abilities. I have noticed some shows I have auditioned for and not got in have had casts that are literally entirely under 25, and there are children playing adult roles when I really think that I am a better actor than then - I'd wanna be, being 25 years older! But it still sucks every time not getting a part and I do doubt myself while knowing full well I will keep going back for more because I love it. Apart from getting more lessons, any hints on dealing with not getting a part? The roller coaster of depression and hope is playing havoc on my not very stable mental health. Thank you!
I had my very first paid voice acting job over the weekend! The pay wasn’t huge but extremely fair for the amount of work I did. I’m one step closer to being a pro voice actor!
This question is targeted for voice actors for video games that acted in a video game that's old enough for a "HD Edition". For example, Grand Theft Auto, San Andreas is part of the trilogy recently released as "The Definitive Edition". My question is, are the voice actors getting paid again, even though this time around they did not do anything. The game was re-released but no new dialogue was recorded. However, if you look at the music that was used in the video game, all the music labels will get paid again for licensing their music for GTA. This can be for any video game that was re-made or re-released. [View Poll](https://www.reddit.com/poll/uw5gs0)
So I've been using Backstage for awhile to seek out different roles, but I want to cast a slightly wider net, and I've heard about Actors Access, Casting Networks, and Playbill. I was wondering if anyone knew any more websites/avenues of approach that would be beneficial to look into and how was your experience using them? Thanks in advance!
I want to get my finances in order better but I’d like to work with an accountant that can know the ins and outs of the entertainment industry.
Should I post a shirtless picture on IMDb? Will it help or hurt my career? Hello everyone I’m a meld actor late 20s and I’m a up and coming actor and was wondering what would be an acceptable and professional approach to showing off my physique on IMDb? Would shirtless pictures turn off producers and directors? This has been bugging me for a while and I don’t know what to do anything helps. Thanks!
I wanna be an an actress so bad, I have no prior experiences neither taken classes. Don’t have money for online classes or have classes near me. What can I do in my situation??
Hello! I’m looking to start submitting my resume and reels to talent agents in Philly and NYC who represent actors in the tri-state area (I’m in central NJ). I’m new to the east coast so I’m having a hard time figuring out where to start. I’m not a beginner… had almost 20 years of representation, on the other side of the country, with both on-camera and voiceover credits on national TV, commercials, and video games. I’m just looking for agency names and even ones to avoid. Thanks!
Because they can change their tonality and body language easily
Hi i’m so sorry i wasn’t sure where to post this and this seems like a decent subreddit to ask this in, but i was wondering how do actors move so silently? such as in Daredevil (pls excuse this example i’m currently binge watching it and it’s what sparked this question) and the main character when he’s in his persona and the other stealth characters all move so silently like are they doing something or is there like padding in their shoes? i cant seem to find anything on google either before anyone suggests this. an example is 4:50 S3E8 of daredevil when a character lands on the platform and jumps off, it’s just like really silent and i don’t think they tinkered with the sound to pull this off. Thanks! sorry for the horrendous formatting
If you live in Chicago and get into SAG-AFTRA, do you… ever travel for opportunities? I have heard of some actors who live in Chicago but also have a condo in LA. How do they make that work? Wouldn’t you need to fly out for callbacks? Seems like a bad return on investment. Would love to hear your thoughts and wisdom!
Hello once again voice actors of Reddit! So I am in the process of writing out my demo, and I had a quick question. I have heard that you should leave music and sound fx out of your demo, and just stick with purely your voice. I was wondering; though, if I have the skills necessary to incorporate those elements to make it sound like an actual commercial, would it be beneficial for me to do that, or am I better off using only my voice? Anything you guys have for me on this is extremely helpful. Thanks in advance!
I'm an aspiring actor, and I don't know if I need to just be snapped out of my shitty mindset or what but I'm just not doing well. As a background, I'm a very masculine woman, and I've definetely wondered before if I'm trans which might factor into this, but I don't know. I was just thinking about what type of roles I want to play, and it's just not going to happen for me BECAUSE I'm a woman. What I really want to do is be able to play a Jack Sparrow type character, like a drunken pirate. It just doesn't bode well when a woman does it, I guess. I feel like the ony real option for me is to be a female actor and not to play the roles I want, or to give up. And even if I'm trans (Maybe) and end up transitioning, I'm not going to get cast for the roles I want to. Probably. Oh how I wish this could be easier.
Hi all, Not sure if this was the appropriate subreddit but I am a 30 year old woman living in Melbourne wanting to pursue acting. I haven’t acted in anything since high school so I’m getting back into it and wanted to join an agency. I’m working in hospitality whilst attending university for arts. Is Real People Victoria (a talent agency in Melbourne, Australia) worth it? I saw some of their reviews on Google where people were saying they weren’t getting any work and that they had to pay $100’s to get headshots taken. My goal is to be a working actress in New York City living comfortably. Thank you!
Hey everyone, I’m in my final year of university and I’m working on my final few assignments. Due to some factors outside of my control I’ve had to take extensions meaning I have two weeks to get my assignments in. I’m looking for around 3-4 voice actors for me to edit them a show reel. You could receive this for free I’m not charging at all it’s just to build my portfolio and for my university work. I’ve been studying sound and music production for the last 3 years and I’ve been directly asked to also attend the masters. If you’d be interested in this show real, you can direct message me here and we can arrange something for the next few weeks. Thank you to anyone in advance who would be interested in this!
Hi Folks Does anyone know what accent this voice is from? I hear this one all the time, from TV's to radio stations. My support worker Ian thinks this one is from Surrey. What do you guys think? [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1N8mfMcY7760OASSZqzpH4nggxBuHJ-f3/view?usp=sharing](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1N8mfMcY7760OASSZqzpH4nggxBuHJ-f3/view?usp=sharing) ​ There are many female voice actors who done work for Google, but the voice for the British version hasn't been discovered. I'm guessing she could be a staffer for Google UK, maybe!
I got some down time and decided to do my [Pilot Season list](https://www.reddit.com/r/acting/comments/g306qr/3year_totals_young_adult_pilot_season_bookings/) again to see if there has been any significant shift in the balance of casting in the young adult range due to the pandemic. There hasn't, but as usual, there are a few actors who don't show sufficient online info about their educational and training backgrounds to classify. Here they are with some notes I made about what I could tell; so, if you know them, know about them, or are one of them, please speak up or message me with their info ... **Gabriela Cartol**- The Resort - series regular - Mexican. Top of the age range with Spanish language credits going back to 2012. Did she go to University in Mexico or attend a conservatory? What did she study if anything? **Ali Hadji-Heshmati**- Lockwood & Co. - Brit. Possibly younger than 23. Headshots look like standard UK drama school showcase fare. Has IMDb credits that shot in 2019. Theatre and short film credits under "LUS." Is that an acronym for a drama or stage school? **Jayden Elijah** - Saint X - lead - Brit. Full name? Some instagram pics appear to be in the UK in an institutional setting. University? Course of study? CV on agency site doesn't show any drama school but that agency never does. Credits going back to 2011, so probably a former child star regardless. **Olivia Luccardi** - East New York - series regular - First network credits shot when she was around 22. College if any? Course of study? **Drake Rodger** - The Winchesters - series regular - Most training in Florida per Backstage. Can't tell age other than he seems to be in the lower half of the age range. College if any? Major? Full name? First indie credits were shot in Florida in 2018. Has studied at or with Cast Studio, Performer's Studio Workshop, Todd Sheeler, Andi Matheny, and Christinna Chauncey.
So, I have an issue which makes me feel quite frustrated. I've always had this passion for acting and I've come to really see myself as talented at it through all my endeavours. I am always drawn back to it and I love entertaining. An acting teacher of mine told me to sign up for small parts and I've been doing as much, because I'd really like to do something I'm passionate about for a living. But I've been on some site for a while now and I just can't get a foot in the door, which is understandable in a way: I have no real experience and lots of people have this dream. I've tried selling myself with words, as on this site there isn't really an opportunity to showcase your talents in a video. Someone suggested I'd make a YouTube channel, but to me that's actually not what I'm looking for. People are always spewing vitriol in the comments and I'd like to avoid negativity. I'd just like to play a part in a tv-show because I'd like to. It's not for the fame or money specifically. I'd just do my job and be done with it, you know. I wouldn't go on Twitter or look up articles about myself, because I don’t really care to bring myself down like that. I get that this all sounds very contradictory, but I do believe this is a calling of sorts and I should chase it, I'm just not very good at pitching myself.
Hi lovely people, I'm an actor, currently finishing a 1 year post grad fast track course at a decently connected drama school in London UK. My graduate showcase is coming up and that means I need to start cold emailing agents in order to try and get them to come and see the show. I did this at our half year show case with little success. I did not seem to have much luck gathering any interest and didn't received any responses. I am just wondering if anyone has any tips on what is the best way to formulate an email, and what will get someone interested enough to go to my Spotlight page or check out my CV and potentially want to see more of me?
I’ve been working on a TikTok series. I recently filmed a skit with peanut butter. And due to the peanut butter recall right now I figured it would be a good test run for an episode. It’s like two lines. Just a small phone conversation. Only a $10 gig If it works good then it could turn into a paid gig if you stay with us and the series takes off Message me if interested
Mid 20s male with undergraduate law degree. Last few years I've been working with my parents and focusing on my mental health, etc. I have a HUGE love of film and through therapy etc discovered that my true calling is acting. Its just something I really want to do. What's the reality here? I want to start self teaching, and then get classes. But will I have to also get another job? I've been told that acting is hard to break into and will be low paying etc. My plan was to get a law job (paralegal perhaps) or something alternative (fianncial services compliance) but when I decided I wanted to act, I initially assumed that I wouldn't have to do these jobs because I would purusue acting instead. But now, I'm not sure, I don't have the impression that I can just decide to become an actor and then instantly get paid... or can I? Other notes - I don't want to act in theaters, but moreso film/tv.
Hello all! I’m going to begin teaching acting lessons soon, and was curious if anyone had any recommendations on where to start with a young (12) pre-teen girl? She has lots of dance experience but has never taken acting classes before. These are also individual lessons so group exercises won’t work! I have a pretty solid base but would love your opinions!!!
Maybe I’m misunderstanding this advice, but this is the first time I’m hearing this! This casting director said this on her Instagram today and it was co-signed by a few agents: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cd1LI7oJfj-/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Again, I’ve never understood it to be a “cash grab” to self submit to projects when you’re repped. Can someone explain to me how/why that is? If I’m misunderstanding what she means, what *does* she mean?
First time doing an “actor role”! So I received my call sheet for this tv show I’ll be on for the first time and I’m seeing several different times listed. Email header: CALL=0700 Email body: Unit call=0700 Call sheet attachment: Unit call=0700, shoot call=0730, beside my name HMW=1400 and on set=1500 Is my call time 0700 or is it my HMW time 1400…?
I'm not new to audio drama in that I've worked on radio plays and comedy in the UK (as a writer) but I am new to producing and so I'm learning as I write with the an being to produce my audio drama myself. I'll want to employ actors but as I'm in a small town in Australia, I'm limited and know I'll need to work with people remotely. How does that work technically? Thanks!
Hi! so I’ve been lucky enough to get featured BG on the last few movies i’ve done. i’m very likable and take direction well, so i’ve built a relationship with a production company. it’s way better than typical bg, but i’m really just wanting to get a line at this point. I got hand picked for my most recent featured bg gig by the director themselves. i was helping photoboard when they asked me what i do, and i told them i was an aspiring actress. he had me audition for the BG role right then and there and then a week later i got an email from production saying they wanted to cast me. i made a great first impression with this director which was awesome! i’d love to be upgraded but idk what else i can do. i’m very professional and friendly. i never come across as desperate or entitled to anything. i’m confident. is it just luck? or is there something i can do?
Ok so I’m an actor and have been acting for a little over 7 years. I’ve competed on both a state and national level 4 times with my troupe and I am very passionate about acting. Being an actor is my dream and I know that I will make it, but I don’t know where to look to get an agent. I’m going to be living in nyc in September and I’m curious if anybody knows how to actually look for an agency and get an agent. Any advice would help thank you very much for your time.
Im curious of others stories. Basically I have a lot of mental illnesses so I struggle learning staging and processing stuff. I'm very poor at learning choreography as well. But once I get everything I think I'm good. From my experience directors usually seem regretful casting/directing me and baby me at first. Then when they see me during tech or shows they grow impressed. I had one director who was really understanding of me and figured out how I learned, so I excelled while under her. What are yalls experiences?
I signed with a commercial agent four months ago and have been on a total of four auditions, all of which my agent landed by submitting on Casting Networks and Actors Access (memberships which I pay for). Had I booked anything, my agent would have received 40% (20 from casting+20 from my net), which I know is sadly the norm for non-union talent at most agencies… But if that’s all my agent is doing, should I drop her? She runs a well-reviewed, sag-franchised agency. I was happy to finally have a rep, but maybe I should start looking for someone else. Maybe it’s me? Maybe things are slow right now? I was getting more callbacks when I self-submitted, and wasn’t giving 20% of my net away.
Hi All, An indie feature where I had a supporting role will be premiering at tribeca (online), but cast/crew have been given guest passes to cast/crew for the festival (we can get priority tickets to other film showings and attend any Tribeca official events minus the opening and closing ceremony). This is my first festival and will be flying in from LA to attend. I would love to hear anyone else’s experience and tips/advice they may have about making the most of the experience. TIA!
I’ve had an agent for exactly a year now but still no job :( I’ve had a few auditions but my brother has had more with a different agency he is with. He is 13. I know it could be age but I just feel like I’m doing something wrong. I got my agency through acting showcase so I feel confident in saying I’m a good actor and I had many call backs from other agencies that wanted me too but in the end I picked this one. I’m going to dye my hair blonde on Wednesday hoping it will increase my chances of getting roles. I’ve also had accent lessons so I have many dialects and I can speak Russian (hence the blonde I thought it might make me fit the Slavic character better). I just want to know why I’m not getting any auditions or any jobs. I haven’t had any jobs! and I feel really defeated. I’ve spent a lot of money in this dream and I’m not going to give up just yet I would just really like some reassurance. :)
So I’m wanting to try and get back into theatre once I made my big move to a big city, but my agent isn’t too keen on me doing theatre, since she wants me available for roles in film, TV, commercials, etc. I also read another article of a guy saying “if you’re gonna do theatre, stay in theatre.” And I just don’t feel like I agree. I get the sentiment of wanting to do film and commercials. It’s where the money’s at, but I feel awful leaving theatre behind. And I don’t wanna limit myself to one art form. Matter of fact, some of the most versatile actors I know can do both theatre and film. So what do you guys think?
In need of a hand hold I guess. Does anyone else just constantly think that they absolutely suck? With the exception of a handful of moments I honestly just feel like Im a terrible actress. Im on the set as my first lead of a feature and am honestly embarrassed at almost every scene Ive done so far. I blew my close up of the most emotional scene in the movie after blowing my emotional load on the other actors coverage (I was just in it and could not hold back). I feel like I let everybody down and they regret casting me. I second guess literally every moment Im on screen. I am so racked with anxiety and insecurity on set I dont even enjoy myself. Everyone else seems so at ease and I have major imposter syndrome. Is this a common thing one usually gets over once you start getting more comfortable on sets or is this a red flag that this is something Im not cut out for? I just want to feel like Im doing a good job and Im tired of feeling like a failure.
Hi, I'm a teen actress. So I want to work with A3 artist agency, a specific agent named Jamie pillet actually, but the agency only takes industry referrals. And I know what some of you might tell me, network. But I'm an introverted person, I have anxiety, and it's hard for me to network. I take acting classes and know a manager but I'm scared to ask them for a referral to the agent. What if they dont even know the agency and the agency doesn't take their referral seriously? iv been breaking out of my shell but my question is, how do I network? I want to meet other actors like me. Another question, how do I get an industry referral to the agency I would like to work with?

So I was emailed by a legit producer for bbc to be a supporting actor in a new drama, she asked for my measurements as costume fitting is Monday and Tuesday and also asked for a recent selfie. After I sent this she hasn’t responded since then. Does she not require any more info atm and will email me today or literally on the day? Like do they expect you to drop whatever your doing and be available when they email on the day? Or has she just stopped responding? should I send a follow up email, if so, what should I say?
I travel back and forth between the southeast USA and Calgary/ Toronto for family. I have a southeastern USA based agent. Are there any Canadian agents you recommend?

Hello everyone! I've been acting since 2016 and prior to COVID I had a good mixture of self-tapes and in-person auditions; I think 70% of my auditions were self-tapes and only 30% were in-person. So when COVID rolled around in 2020, I was pretty comfortable already doing self-tapes. Since COVID, it seems like everything has shifted to self-tapes. I know that some actors have had in-person auditions, but they seem to be rare and I personally haven't had an in-person audition since COVID. I know that some callbacks and screen/chemistry test will require in-person, but for initial auditions, they seem to all be virtual. So my question to every actor out there is: has anyone had an in-person audition since COVID? Sorry for the long post and thank you! [View Poll](https://www.reddit.com/poll/uts441)
I know this girl, let’s call her Kate. Kate and I are in an acting class together. She tends to be competitive for no reason, and is the type to gatekeep/not help others because she is concerned they could take her job. Since I’ve met Kate, she signed to this manger and boasted about all the progress that came from this. She’s now signed to commercial and theatrical agencies in just about every market. I can also see from her, her agencies page, and IMDb that she is booking work. Her manager reached out to me, so I asked Kate about her experience and she claims that her manager hasn’t done anything for her. She said she’s a nice lady and talked about that, and then otherwise said the manager hasn’t gotten her anything. I need to make a decision with this manager. I feel like I need to turn down the offer now, but Kate could also just be lying? I’m really torn right now. Does anyone have any advice for me?
