I want to be one of those actors who don’t care at ALL about awards, merits, recognition and all that stuff, and instead only care about the love of their craft, the work they get to do, the creativity, collaboration, and experience of acting. But I’m not one of those actors. I DO care about the work and the craft and…

Hey guys, So this is my story. Back in February 2021 I was scrolling through reddit, and I found myself on r/marvelstudiosspoilers. I found a post that was linked to an extras casting facebook page, and decided to sign up for it because I live near Atlanta (where the movie was being filmed). The movie turned out to be…

Analogies aside, I am looking for like-minded LA-based actors/comedians who want in on creating a social media dynasty! I have loads of longer-form (5 mins; for YouTube) and short-form (1-2 mins; mainly for TikTok) comedy/horror sketch ideas to produce, and a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 4k camera to shoot with. I would lo…

Not getting ahead of myself but curious—I have an audition for a sag podcast—if I book it, does it make me sag-e? I’ve seen how new media content creators can do this but not actors.

Acting is all about emotions. But I’m one of those people who are very “cold” and “unemotional” (while still dreaming of being an actor lol). The reason I’m like this is that I learned from an early age to “hide” my emotions, feelings, and opinions from certain people (namely family) in order to avoid being harmed, moc…

I (14F) found a paid audition for a feature film that's being directed by Ethan Coen. It's for background characters in a scene and I am in the big age range for the actors. No headshot nor reel is necessary for the audition. To me it sounds worth it, and Ethan Coen seems like someone worth putting as a director I work…

Hey there guys, real quick, my latest job I was the star of a 45 minute episode of the finale of an anthology series (different stories and actors each episode). On my resume I put "Episode Lead" but do you think "star" or "Guest star" would be more appropriate here? Thank you.

Hi! I’m a 20 year old actor (screen) and have had social media for a very long time. However, I’m at a point where I find it very addicting and honestly useless, other than the connections I’ve made with it. Now, I want to get rid of my socials, but I’m holding onto them because of these connections. Can y’all tell me…

So I’ve been trying out acting for a few months now and have done probably 10 auditions or so. And I booked my first role, which is really exciting but also super nerve wracking because it’s also the lead.

Hello, I've been aspiring to be a voice actor for a while and I've been practicing and I'd like to think I've got *some* acting skill HOWEVER; it doesn't mean shit when your voice can't handle anything remotely strong.

This is a rant because I am tired of this industry and how they treat actors. This new age of self tapes is ridiculous.
