Newcomer here! Just got my first commercial demo on tape and will be working towards getting my animation one done next. Curious of some of the pitfalls or hard earned lessons from any vets in the industry. For context - I'm a professional film/theatre actor with over a decade of experience, but am extremely green when…

I'm often conscious of directing actors in the best possible way - i.e. giving them just the right prompts to nudge them in the right direction, without seeming like I'm holding their hand throughout. As a non-actor myself, I'm curious to know if there's anything particular I should do or avoid in this regard. Is there…

I’m gonna get straight to the point. I have a passion for film/acting. As an actor, I personally believe that my abilities could get me very, very far in the future. Like, really far. However, if I do not get far, I can’t see myself doing anything else with my life. My ultimate goal is to play Nova in the MCU (Childhoo…

If you want to become a succesful actor, what I mean. I mean in my eyes, me being born in eastern european country, I have so much less chance at doing what I love, earning enough from it and actually becoming recognised here than someone born in USA, UK, France, Germany, South Korea, Japan and such. (especially USA an…

People can now produce a cartoon from their bedroom using a computer and tools like Adobe Illustrator and After Effects. They can also produce the music for it on their computer, too. And with a homemade vocal booth and a good mic, they can also voice the characters, with maybe a little help from a sister or wife. So i…

Hello! As stated earlier, I got my first role in a comic dub. I’m playing the role of Momo Yaoyorozu, and I was wondering if you had any tips for me, maybe how to speak clearly and maintain a voice, or if ‘preserving’ your voice by not talking really does anything, or any form of tips! Thank you

So I’m at work this morning, it’s 5am and this lady walks in being loud. Then she’s asking how much longer for her drink I say less than 2 minutes.

Here’s a fun question for you guys. Other than the obvious (winning an award, booking a lead role in a feature/regular on a tv show), what are some of your actor dream goals?

Hi, the tittle must’ve pretty much summed up the situation for you, in case it hasn’t then let me elaborate. I’m an 18year old male and I’m 173.5cm, which is a pretty average, if not above avg, height in india, might be small for the us/uk avg. The bollywood industry is pretty nepotistic and mostly allows the star kids…

As an actor with ADHD, even having social media apps downloaded makes me spiral into wasting time and obsessively checking for likes and comments.
