Basically, I'm an 18yr old girl, and I want to pursue acting. The problem is, I don't live in the US, or in a country where there's at least any theater where I could start out at. I used to be on lots of school productions, but since I just graduated, I can no longer do that. I've also tried attending acting classes,…

Been in LA for 2 years now and I still have barely connected with other actors out here. What’s the best way to connect with other actors, put myself out there more, and meet new people in LA?

What's the best way to find non-union actors? Facebook group? Backstage? Personally I would prefer to build up a database of talent than selecting from a random group of people who applied to casting call promising a position immediately. What do you think?

Hi all. Ever since I was a kid \[I am a 21F\], I've wanted to act on screen but never did do theatre or anything like that through school. I actually forgot about it for awhile until summer of 2018. Even then, I was unable to take theatre my senior year. I come from a large city in Texas, there are absolutely no acting…

Hey everyone, I wanted to ask if there were any experienced actors or at least any actors more experienced than myself I can practice some Meisner technique with? I’ve been acting for several months and the feedback I generally get is that I’m pretty good, but it’s hard to keep that momentum without anyone to run lines…

Let me preface this by saying that I’m not here to inflate my ego; I am nowhere near the top of billing; in fact I’m closer to the bottom than the middle lol, but I am aware that I have covered a lot of ground in a short amount of time as a no-name actor and I’m proud of myself for that. So I just booked a recurring gu…

I want to be a Pediatric Nurse, Actress and Voice Actress, and possibly start a Small Business. People keep telling me I'm "trying to do too much." I don't know if I can take another "that's too much/you can't do all that" before I just quiet on everything.

If so is it easy to get around? Is it practical to live in Los Angeles without a car period? I don't go out too much.

Hi. For actor’s who have worked on TV shows, how do you guys like to rehearse/prepare yourselves before shooting a role in a tv show larger than a costar? Have you ever had to rehearse on your own without any help? What do you usually do? Any pointers/tips? Thanks!

I know I can't expect random people on the internet to solve my indecisiveness for me but perhaps I can get some insights from someone with more experience.

So, I got an email saying I was accepted to an agency I looked into! But I am skeptical of signing any paperwork just yet. Why?

Is there a secret to it or is it purely down to disposition? Seems like there are actors who naturally book TVC after TVC.

I have my first professional callback for a play and I'm wondering about this. The period is mid 20th century. They have not specifically asked actors to dress up for the callbacks.
