I'm currently in NYC (starting my MFA this year) and this is where I have the most connections and the strongest network. Personally, though, I'd like to eventually move to LA. My wisdom after talking to lots of actors in person, is to **wait until I have a reason to move**. Does r/acting agree with this? For example,…

Hello everyone and thank you very much for reading this post. I'm a 19 year old guy with an exceptionally deep voice, and whenever I use my microphone in multiplayer games I play or in Zoom meetings, I'm told my voice is "pleasant", "extremely deep", and "sultry".

Hey guys, I'm a singer, rather than an actor; but I perform in a style that's unusually narrative and story oriented, with lots of influence from David Bowie, Nick Cave & Leonard Cohen.

Hey, I don't know anything about acting, but I love some actors like Freddie Highmore. His acting is always superb and I think he is a genius. It seems to me that what makes him superb is: As for other good actors/actresses, it's like they make a mold of the character's body and get inside it. Or they make a mask or bo…
