Hey all I don’t want to do commercials. It doesn’t interest me in the slightest. But I’m not sure I could get into acting without them. Beggars can’t be choosers, yk? I live around Tampa, FL, which is mostly commercial work, or so I’ve heard. Right now I have no credits, just taking classes. I’m completely willing to d…

When an audition notice calls for a “slender” or “athletic” or anything that doesn’t not include larger bodied people, do you still submit for it? Do you take that into consideration when auditioning for roles?

I’ve got to do a songologue for an audition coming up. If you don’t know what that is, it’s where I pick a song and simply say the lyrics as though I’m delivering a monologue without tune or rhythm from the song itself. I’ve got to pick a song and deliver it in character from the role I’m auditioning for. The role in q…

I admit that I'm still pretty new on [voices.com](https://voices.com), but I just don't understand why they require you to pay, (and on top of that, pay so ***much****)* just to have access to the jobs posted on there. It doesn't make sense! And that's just for the premium membership--- don't even get me started on the…

Hi everyone. I'm writing this to ask for any guidance or tips you guys might have on my home studio. My wife and I are both actors who would usually, if we got a job, record in a proper studio: but right now that's obviously not happening! Most producers are asking for recording from home, and so I've done my best to s…

Hello everyone! I'm a new actor, I've recently scored an interview with a talent agent from Heyman Agency.

Or is it even possible? I’m a senior in college going into grad school for engineering but I was a theatre major until my sophomore year of college. I took several acting classes, was in my uni’s mainstage show, and did a voice acting for a short film. I only changed my major because everyone wanted me to be “realistic…

I read an article where someone got a job as a casting intern and that opened a lot of doors for them. Is that difficult to do and is it worth it?

Hey fellow actors! Hope you're all doing well in this new year. My question is regarding representation and how long it usually takes to achieve both a manager and agent. To give you a little sense of myself: I am a 24 year old ethnically ambiguous actor who would fall into the leading man and college boy types. Withou…

I know Actors Access usually has a lot of projects posted there that many of us in the UK never get to see on the casting sites down here. I wanted to know if there are people on here outside of America (and hopefully in the UK) that use AA to submit themselves to roles. I'm assuming this would be better than just hopi…

So 2 years ago, I was in a school play and a local improv acting coach saw me and referred me to this professional film/tv acting coach and casting director.

How have you stayed friends with actors that have left the business? A couple of actor friends have "left acting" - which look, I get.

In case you are afraid to drop your old rep - I just want you to know good rep changes everything.

By professional, I mean either: making all of their income from acting, or enough to greatly supplement it. If you fall into those categories: I have a question for you! How often do you work? How many auditions/bookings do you get on the average year? What kind of work?

I've met people who blamed POC for their lack of jobs, or people telling rookie actors to give up on their dreams to become an actor just for the sake of making them give up.
