I was able to get a meeting with them. I’ve been seeing mixed reviews about them on this sub ?. Apparently they can be slow. If I sign with them, Do I, as a non union actor, have a chance of getting good auditions? Or am I just wasting my time? I submitted to about 30 different agencies/managers over the past few weeks…

I had an accident a few years ago which meant I had to have my four bottom front teeth extracted. I since have had a 4 unit bridge fitted on two implants. I haven't worked in tv/film since before the surgery but I've been really missing acting and am considering dipping my toes back in. Luckily I smile with my top teet…

I Think theyre just hiring security guards but they're calling it casting for music video. They need 30 security guards for each date of the tour to "play body guards." Has anyone done this gig on a previous show and can vouch for its legitmacy? The ai art is a big red flag too.

One piece of advice for voice actors: take your name seriously. This might seem like a small thing, but I think your professional name is worth putting some thought into. It can be really tempting to pick something that sounds cool at the time. Maybe you use the name of an anime character you like and throw “Lord,” “Pr…

As we all know, acting is not the most financially stable career path. On top of being an actor, I'm also currently a student. I have a part time job working at a bakery, and it was great because my general manager was so understanding and gave me incredibly flexible hours. However, she recently got fired and I've lost…

I want to be an actress so bad. Like it genuinely breaks my heart thinking that I won’t ever make it. I know I have to be realistic about my future and pick a career path where i can make a stable income but the thought of not being able to choose acting as my stable career breaks my heart. I don’t want it to be someth…

I have a rather large following on one of my platforms and while I'm sure that could be utilized by some to grow their voice acting career, I wanted to keep my passions separate and private. So I guess my question is, is the scenario for Madeline Reiter, someone who uses a stage name with seemingly no identity to her n…

So our neighborhood had a social tonight, which was great since my partner and I just moved here 2 months and 6 days ago. For reference, we moved out of the Atlanta market for his work.

I iove to act and, with slight confidence, would say I am quite good at it. My one dream is to be in a movie, and potentially become an actor, but being in a movie is the main goal. The only issue is that I am already 16. Additionally, my history of acting, not including plays in primary school, is a measly one play, a…

Hi all, I thought maybe getting some input from actors or those who know how to act might be a bit helpful.

I have a problem with not being able to express myself fac…

Hey actors looking for some advice here, my professor who motivated me to pursue my acting MFA told me I’d land a better agent if I get into a top school.

A few years back, I woke up to an audition request for the lead role in a major blockbuster film. I grew up watching the franchise, so booking the part would be a dream come true.

I’m SAG and have been with my agency since 2021. I’ve never done an in-person audition until today. I’ve auditioned for and worked on multiple shows and films. In person auditions are SO much better.

From my perspective, I see tides turning a bit in a positive direction. Not being inundated with auditions...but they've definitely been more consistent.

There's this narrative that Asians can't be actors because it's a high risk field. Well in general, I think it is because from what I've heard, only a few are selected to be the chosen ones ascending to A-list level. But what I find extremely unhelpful is that everyone around me is against the idea. Unfortunately, I gr…

Does she know Stella Adler (a woman) was one of the best teachers for method acting? Method is now seen as a joke thanks to people who are NOT method acting but just being pricks (like Leto).

I am a local sag actor based in Boston. It feels like audition opportunities through Boston Casting are few and far between.
