Hey everyone. I'm in Chicago and looking to get into commercial and/or TV acting to make an acting career. I have background in improv, children's theater, and have studied a lot of forms of theater (clowning, shakespeare, suzuki, linklater, meisner.) I feel well prepared in the training but ill prepared in marketing m…

There are some big ones that are not TAMAC, and you have some smaller agencies that are part of TAMAC. Like let’s say a smaller agency is part of TAMAC, but the star meter for their clients start at the 25000+. Then you have a big, reputable agency that’s not TAMAC, but clients start at 1000+. I know starmeters are not…

Obviously it's a good way to show off your own talent, but it's almost a cliché at this point. Wouldn't it better show off your acting skills to have someone to play off of? Aren't most people more likely to see a multi-person show than a one-man or one-woman show? It may be easier to write for just yourself, but it al…

Does anyone know anything about breaking into Bollywood as a white female actor from the US? I’ve seen white actors in other groups say they’ve had some success in Bollywood and it got me thinking. I’m tired of competing against a billion women that look just like me. I’m sure there’d be far fewer roles for me, but may…

Hey friends! I hope I am allowed to post this, as there is no business affiliation yet, and it's totally free. I'm soon offering a slew of voiceover resources and right now I'm looking to get honest feedback before they go live. As a result, I'm offering the following free voiceover materials in exchange for honest rev…

I don’t have an agent and am daily inexperienced when it comes to this field (acting for commercials). What kind of things do I need to know going forward, that perhaps an actor would learn over time? Thanks :)

I read a book about the Stanislavskij method in my youth, but can't remember the title and wonder if anyone perhaps know what book I'm thinking about. It's written like a fake diary and is about a couple of actors rehearsing 'Dead souls' by Gogol. Does it ring a bell for anyone?

I’m new to voice acting and I had the thought that I had no body interested in the same career as I am, and maybe I can possibly find someone to talk to about everything there is voice acting, and maybe make some lifelong friends along the way so I think it would be cool if I made or possibly joined a group chat with o…

I have been busting by butt to be a better performer. I moved to the UK from the US to get a masters in acting, and even secured a UK agent. Recently I won a broadway world award for best performer in a one woman show - I use this to pitch to agencies but they still don’t reply… I’m not sure what to do any more. I also…

Would it be inappropriate to ask a CD for a referral to an agent or manager after taking class with them? I’m just at a loss for options here, I’m not getting anywhere with cold emails or self-submissions on actors access. I don’t live near any major cities and literally nothing films near me so I can’t even “build up…

Hey everyone. I'm having a bit of trouble deciding really what would be best for me to do next. I just got done with KCACTF and URTA auditions all in the same week.

I've always wanted to be an actress, but I don't think I got serious about making it a career until I turned 13.

Ever since I was 5 years old I’ve been wanting to be an actress. First theater but then I discovered film and I loved it even more.

Im an American, near LA, who on the chance I get in is considering going to for example LAMDA in London, to then come back and work on film in Los Angles after my studies are over.

Two years ago I met with this agency which seems to be a big agency with great google reviews.

Should I go through every single agent in an agency? Is there a quicker way to do it? Also i can’t seem to find anything about specific ages or breeds needed? Should I look at their past works and see if I fit with the actors they’re representing? Thank you so much for all the help!

The creators of the short film made sure to promote all the actors on their social media, so that was nice at least. However, I thought that this role would have more screen time. Turns out it's mostly voice acting in a phone scene. Should I tell them I've changed my mind? Is it worth it for the experience?

Hi all, looking for suggestions others might have done. We have an older lead actor that just can't get his lines down.
