I've always heard improv classes can really help with your acting and I'd love to take a class that wasn't another scene study or on camera class. I also tend to do comedies and naturally am pretty funny and live in that kinda world on camera. I bet it's also a good way to meet new people and make some friends. However…

I know this isn’t the most ideal way, but I became SAG-E by doing background work and finally collected 3 SAG vouchers. As a non-union actor, I was constantly told that being NU was the main reason why I was not receiving SAG tv/film auditions but now I’m being told that CDs are mostly going to SAG actors first for sho…

I have been taking acting seriously for a few months now and every now and again I obsess and hyper fixate on the idea that maybe I’ll never make it because I’m not skinny…..

I’m a trained theater actor and feel very comfortable on stage, but on camera and especially closeups I tense up! Any tips and tricks to relaxing on camera?

My best friend is producing an animated series. He is using AI for the animation, but wants live actors for the character voices. These would be paid roles. Now we all know that AI sucks; the question is, knowing the animation is AI, would you still be willing to voice a character? Keep in mind your voice would NOT be…

I keep seeing people in their 40s, 50s, 60s, and even 70s asking whether it’s too late to start acting. As an actress, writer, and aspiring producer, I actually think those ages can be incredibly valuable. When you’re in your teens, 20s, and 30s, the pool is huge. There are tons of beautiful, confident, camera-ready ac…

On Upwork I guy paid me to record 25 min of an audio drama/podcast about politics. He treated it as " an audition" to see if I would be a fit.

Did you know beforehand that the movie/show you were playing in would be great? Was there other times when you were like half through production and then said ah, now its going to be bad?
