Hello, Im 24 yo and am currently living in Argentina. I've been acting and training since 2015. I also can manage English pretty well, more so on the oral aspect.

I started acting last year, just joining in productions at my university theater. It went well. I got roles for every audition, and this year, I got my first lead role. It went alright. By that I mean I was able to ride my anxiety through the first performance (thankfully it was received well), after which I spent the…

Struggling actors can't make ends meet during this pandemic. And I had think of a backup career option. Preparing for entrance tests and going for higher education is what I chose.

I’d like to be an actor. I know that it doesn’t happen overnight, or soon at all. But I’d like to give it a shot. Money is a bit tight, so it’s hard to find a website that lets me apply for stuff without a subscription. Even if I would pay, I don’t really know if what I’m paying for is legitimate. What you recommend? I…

I'm a middle aged man, now...yet, one of my greatest regrets is that I never followed through with my love of acting and actors. A long time ago, way back in high school, I went out for drama class.

Since I have memory I have always loved the idea of acting as a career. I admired famous actors back in the day, listened to their stories of success, how they overcame drugs and other problems to dedicate their hearts to acting.
