So I my agent just sent me an audition for a great show, *guest star role*. Obviously it requires vaccination, but for personal reasons I don't, and will hopefully never get vaccinated. Has anybody else missed opportunities because of this?

Hey everyone! I'm an actor in his mid-20s in Los Angeles. I've been pursuing acting for the past few years. The problem, if you can call it that, is I never have any time to watch movies or television. I'm busy 24/7 with acting classes/rehearsals, reading scripts, breaking down characters, self-submitting, memorizing s…

I'm an Australian actor who signed with my current agent 12 months ago. She runs a smaller agency with a big book filled with stand-ins, picture doubles, extras and commercial actors, no real big successful working character actors. I signed with her with only a few credits and a headshot to my name, since then I booke…

Hello fellow actors! I currently live in LA but I will be moving to the PNW in 2 months. (Advice saying don't move is not helpful bc the move is already set and non-negotiable.)

Hi folks, I am a theatre actor in the DC area and would like to branch into tv/film. The theatre scene here is very casting driven so agents and managers have never really been a necessity but I know I must get one for the tv/film business. I have easy access to NYC so that’ll probably be my best bet. I thought about j…

Beware! This teacher is a narcissist. She claims to be an acting coach, but she knows nothing about the craft. She is a hack. If you disagree with her she will publicly shame you. She says that her technique is the only truth and only the good actors stay in her class and the shitty ones leave. Sounds like what a cult…

Howdy fellow actors/artists! So I know that it’s frowned upon to use any sort or BG work on your acting resume for the sole purpose of it revealing one’s inexperience. However, I recently started a regular, fairly involved background gig on a high-budget/popular series that has me in full prosthetics (I’m spending 3-4…

So last year I decided to take a break from acting. This was due to many personal reasons and some acting reasons.

So much so that I left my agent as I didn't…

For example in online games like League of Legends, VALORANT, DotA, etc. where the characters have a voice over that is always heard as long as the game is online.
