Hey everyone. I've been dating my gf of nearly 2 years and we're extremely serious. We've discussed about the future: marriage, kids, and our passions and ambitions for life. She has much much more on her list and I'm still extremely supportive of them all, but when it comes to my deep passion of becoming an Indian act…

Not sure if people remember the A24 open call from a while back. The role of Jayden in the open call was looking for East Asians specifically. Today they released the cast and an actress called Annie Marie Elliot was cast as Jayden. She’s gorgeous and I’m sure a wonderful actress but ngl she looks vaguely Asian but str…

As much as I'd love to, I can't afford to go to drama school even if I got in as I already have an undergraduate and masters degree so no hope of funding for either. Don't get me wrong, I know I need to train and am attending classes around my job as well writing my own stuff to perform. The thing is, everyone I search…

Hello, I’m a teen, with zero acting experience (other than being in drama class) and I live in Europe, too. I really need to try new stuff though, and I’d really like to be able to act in some kind of way.

Back when I was doing music and my best friend was training to be an actor, she took a Meisner class. I had never heard of it before. She had a rough time in this class - from what she described, she was being verbally abused in these classes as part of the exercises. Men in the class said very overtly misogynistic stu…

Are Closing Credits classes actually worth it for a beginner voice actress looking to get into acting more? I haven't taken any formal classes for voice acting in the past, and I was wondering if Closing Credits would be a good place to start, or if there are some other classes out there that are more worth my time (an…

Hi! I'm just starting out in my film acting career. My friend sent me a listing for a new movie being directed by an actor I really admire.

Fox pays voice actors for it’s shows so well that some of them don’t need to rely on other shows anymore, like Milhouse’s voice actress stopped voice acting for anything else besides the Simpsons after her pay raise (with a few exceptions), even Mika Kunis gets paid 175k-200k per episode of Family Guy and she only voic…

I don’t live in a major city, so outside of the small pool of local talent I’ll have to look elsewhere for casting a short film. Are there decent actors who will travel (provided) for small time/no name rolls for 2/300 a day? Im not expecting big name actors or anything, just curious if this is even feasible.

Any general thoughts on where the industry will go in 2023? For example I know Seattle, WA just passed a local film commission to fund more projects, which means there will likely be an increase in paid casting calls for the area. Are there any other industry news or trends for 2023 that actors should pay attention to?
