I recently became a member at a theatre and have my first audition for one of their shows approaching. I am not sure how to enter/slate/introduce myself because they all know me on a fairly personal level. Should I stick to a professional slate or be more of my casual...

If you do a variety of entertainment work, such as acting, voiceovers, music, etc, and wanted an umbrella term for these on your general CV (not acting/whatever résumé) what would you use? Media artist? Entertainer?

My last name is Threadgill, but when submitting for roles I go under the name Gill. It's a personal preference. However, now that I'm considering moving to LA I looked at IMBD and I see there are already several actors going by my "stage name." Is that going to be...

For anyone needing some Thursday motivation during this heat wave: https://www.instagram.com/p/BBCS7PoDHMX/ It's so sweet when famous actors still get excited about table reads and talk about how much they love their job. We can do this! (And yes, I know, it's over a year old... please don't judge me.)

There are those actors whom you may have heard of who have/had what is called "photographic memories". Actors like Meryl Streep, Jackie Gleason and Robert Mitchum, among them, were known to look at a page once and basically have it down - at least so I have heard. However, this...

I'm just starting out in the acting world, so obviously I'm not getting a ton of big roles thrown my way. I was recently searching through the Backstage casting notices and saw a few listings for extras and background cast. Are there any benefits of being an extra/background talent? Or...
