I just stumbled into the movie industry by accident last year, enjoying background acting for the 18 months around Toronto and Hamilton. I have no previous experience in this industry and have been told that it’s not worth it to go back to University for classes when you’re in your mid 40s. Yet! I’d like to graduate fr…

I’m an actor from the prairies who will be moving in a year to pursue acting full time. I have been advised by many to move to Vancouver over Toronto as there is more film jobs there; which I do. Heard Toronto is more for theatre actors?

Hey! I'm a newish actor with about a year of background work (just for fun) and about 2 semesters of acting classes I'm working in Atlanta and am working towards my first speaking role.

Hey actors and creatives! 28-year-old Aussie male here. I assume this is an age-old question. I've been tossing up whether or not LA or Vancouver is right for moving for Film & TV opportunities. From what I have researched, Vancouver is just like LA for opportunities these days with a lot of US companies heading over t…

I don’t think of myself as a “voice actor” - but I am taking on more responsibilities at work, and those involve doing a LOT of voice recordings for our new video based training. FWIW, I will also be writing the copy and be responsible for the audio edits. Marketing will assemble the actual videos, as they add the musi…

Hello, I've truly wanted to act and I've written many ideas down that I plan to record throughout 2020. I wanted to ask if there was an area in which I could share these short films I will make and what areas you think are good to share clips. Also, I did get in touch with a few mentioning ActorsAccess and Backstage ar…

I went up for a role and got a call back. The CD, producers, and writer all seemed to really like me. I didn't get called in again but the CD gave me great feedback to my agents but said that they wouldn't go further with me but I'll be considered for things in the future. 2 months later they're still searching for an…

I'm an amateur screenwriter, and I'm curious about how much of a character gets taken out of my hands once I send in the script. Do you try to realize the writer's intentions, or just imagine what type of person the character is and go with it? What percent of the final character is from your imagination, and what perc…

I know there's people like "Awkwafina", "Seal", "Slash", etc. But basically my real name is an uncommon Arab name that no one ever pronounces right, "Seif Naber". It's ugly on paper, in my opinion. However, it's pronounced "Safe Neighbor". So I've been using that as a stage name for my music (hence the username) becaus…

I’ve always wondered how so many actors seem to be able to cry easily and didn’t think I could do it. I’m playing Candy in Mice and Men and it just happened in two scenes. The director went ape shit and now I feel like I’m under pressure to do it every time. Any advice out there?

I spoke with him today and although he is not what I would consider to be camp, he seems very hung up on the idea that all agents or casting people will try to force him to take camp roles, or hide to his sexuality.
