I don't think I can afford professionally done headshots at this time. Right now I'm just looking to apply to work as an extra. I enjoy photography and I don't mind taking my own headshots with my own camera. Of course, I would put effort into taking these portraits. I...

I live in France and am mainly interested in playing in English-speaking movies. So I thought about joining an american agency, but do they accept foreigners most of the time? Or do I have to live in the US? Do agents/directors sometimes fly actors out in the US? And I also had a question about big agencies such as CAA…

Hello! More and more it seems that self-tape auditions are the way of the future. I find them frustrating because I have to either beg a friend to help me out, try to do it on my own, or pay a service to tape it for me.

This is something I realized last night that I struggle with, and in wondering if anyone else can relate. When you audition for a role and don’t get it, our brains tell us it’s because we aren’t talented enough, not because we weren’t right for the role. When you do land a role, our brains say it was all because of you…

i've noticed something in a lot of movies i've seen. when they cut to a character with a tear coming out of their eye, a lot of the time it's only one eye. the most recent example i've seen is in guardians of the galaxy 2 when ego breaks the tape player and it cuts to chris pratt, he has a tear coming only out of his r…

For the play I'm doing right now, most of my dialogue is with just one other character. I'm making a concerted effort to listen, and sometimes that means that it takes an extra moment for me to say my line. I'm not talking about full on pauses or silence, we're talking 0.5 seconds here. It all depends on when the impul…
