Hello, I'm new to the industry and signed with my first agent back in Feb 2019. I'm currently non-union. I switched to a different agency in June 2019 because my first agent sent me out to two auditions within 4 months. I am an Asian male actor and was approached by an agency here in Los Angeles that represents Asians…

My country is tiny and we have a grand total of three places with acting or theatre related degrees. Two of them are conservatory style, and they seem to have decent teaching and a handful of alumni who made it big. However, those colleges are painfully small and underfunded, with little recognition by the general publ…

I'm not a voice actor but I figured you guys may be able to share some insight for this. I hate my own voice, like most do. The explanation given for this is usually that reverberation inside the body makes it sound different than recordings makes the inner voice sound different from your real voice so when you hear yo…

I’ve heard a story of Henry Goulding in Crazy Rich Asians getting cast with no acting experience, all because they found his Instagram account and thought he was very handsome. I’m wondering if CDs frequently go through social media to scout potential actors, and is it worth brushing up on your accounts to make it look…

What are the hallmarks of a good acting reel? What is the best length? Do casting directors and producers care about the editing? Also, as another question to actors who have action reels - do you guys have a separate action reel and an acting reel? Or do you keep them together?

I would love to become a motion capture actor. I'm very physical as an actor and aware of my body. As a 30F, I'm in shape and have some aerial acrobatic training. I live in NYC but I have no idea where to go to pursue this dream. I've looked up mocap studios but I'm getting the sense that they hire actors from agents.…

I'm a transgender woman trying to get into voice acting, both as a means to practice my female voice and because I want to see if voice acting is something I'd like to try to get into. I've already done a lot of voice training with the intent of honing my *speaking* voice, which I think is decent. However, I think my h…

I’m thinking of doing this play at my local community theatre with two other actors I know who’re interested in the project. With each character being so complex and conflicted throughout the play, it made me wonder who my favorite role in it is. Reddit, thoughts on this?

I've heard in a few interviews that some voice actors will use a specific pose when voicing a charter (I act like I'm holding a coffee mug when I voice this PI, I hunch over and crouch a little when I voice this monkey like charter) and I've talked with some theater actor friends about this and they mentioned that this…

Hey! I’m a relatively new and young actor into the industry.

Hey Everyone! I recently read the conditions on how to apply for an O1 visa grant and it seems impossible – just the sheer amount of media, awards, and credits you have to have under your belt makes it seem so out of reach for any actors who are not "famous".
