I’m not an actor but I do like acting as a hobby, sometimes I even wanna try to auditioning if the opportunity ever arises, I saw a post here about a guy saying that he’s good looking however there’s a big demographic for him and out of many auditions he didn’t book one or something. And then people in the comments wer…

The agency sends emails alongside the c-mail messages notifying actors they've been requested to audition for things...They're mass emails "hey guys! you've been requested" -- Curious if others respond, don't respond, or if they have a mix of the two. . I can only get myself to respond to several before I go silent and…

My non-actor cousin asked me if it was possible to have a career in acting for longer than 30 years (don't ask me why she picked 30). I think she asked because she knows I want to be an actor but she's not that supportive so she asked me that in her attempt to put me down, I don't get why. Instead of letting her get to…

Yesterday was my first day at theater school, i'm a really really really shy person, i don't have any friends since 2018 and i really want to be an actress. My psychologist said i shouldn't hold back just because i'm shy, and i followed what he said. It was kinda embarrassing when we did an improvisation exercise, i th…

Hey everyone! I'm getting ready to submit my materials to theatrical agents for the first time, in hopes of securing some rep here in LA. I mostly work in commercials and horror/prosthetics.

Everytime I'm on set with people, or in an acting class, I see friendships being created, that I'm never a part of. Plus, several times I've seen actors I've worked with mask their instagram story from me. My point is, I feel lonely in this business, plus it's hard to have a network when nobody wants me to be their fri…

Been doing a lot of soul searching lately, reevaluating what I wanna do and where I wanna be in the theater world. I’ve always loved Shakespeare, I worked for a small Shakespeare company for a long time. I recently moved to a large city, and while there are lots of productions going on, there’s very little Shakespeare…

I know this sounds stupid but sometimes I feel like I don’t have the right ‘look’ to be an actress, I have spots, acne scars, slightly crooked teeth, not to mention I have horrible separation anxiety from my parents, sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever be able to be an actor if I can’t even stay home alone

Hello! I'm mainly a theatre stage actor, but I wanted to try and get back into voice acting. This is self-produced so I apologize for the quality.

Hey y’all. I’ve realized with just focusing on work and school and not many events happening around in my city for actors, I figured the best way to start networking is online.

AI is coming. Eleven Labs is killing the game when it comes to human sounding AI voices, and considering how a couple of years ago the level of quality we have now was unheard of, I don't think it's unreasonable to say that they're only going to be getting better. Fast. I don't think that this is really a debate anymor…

I haven't been an actor very long. I'm currently SAG-E, but haven't yet joined, mostly because of the cost. I've heard the talks that the WGA may go on strike around May, and my understanding is that the "sister" unions of the entertainment industry (SAG, IATSE, et al) will also refuse to work out of solidarity. So my…

NYC-based actor. I've never booked an actual co-star role so no professional credits but I've been taking roles in short films and ensemble theatre work since 2015 (underground experimental theatre, black box, plus a little Shakespeare).

I joined a new acting class, and boy, I fucking bombed in front of 30 people. Normally I’m used to killing it, and I knew I was a more experienced actor than some of the others.

I am a beginner in most aspects of acting, but one thing I'm sure of, is that when it comes to starting their careers, actors can't afford to be picky.
