I have done a lot of nudity and intimate scenes for TV and films, including many roles as a sex worker, and posed nude as a model. (Not porn) I have never been ashamed of that and don’t think anyone should be because I haven’t hurt anyone - unlike the stigma that is hurting me. I didn’t mind being type casted when it m…

I have taking a years break from acting to focus on what other interests and the studies I have so I don't just have one interest. In that year I've figured out I am very interested in politics and become politically active in a party in Denmark. I have considered running for Parliament or something of the like in one…

Hi everyone, I’m getting started as an editor after spending the last year or so learning the ropes. I hope this post doesn't go against any rules or anything here, but I’ve been looking to start cutting actor’s reels and came across a post recently where a new editor was offering to cut some for free. Essentially I wa…

I am working on a YouTube video that will be a rocket league anime parody. The script is already written, but it is currently being translated into Japanese. I will translate it back into a readable format to speak and act on. No rocket league experience is needed because we can have body actors too. Certain characters…

I have a friend who likes me more than a friend, he’s accepted that we will never be more though. But he has trouble accepting me possibly having romantic scenes. I have explained to him that it’s fine and there’s nothing to be upset about. But he keeps asking me to ‘ask the director’ if I could do something differentl…

Hello everybody :) I fancy myself to be a decent actor, knowing full well my limitations and what I need to work on. Right now, I feel like my biggest weakness is expression. I can say the words how I want them to come off, move in a way that adds to my character, but my face seems paralyzed. I’m not very good with the…

I am an NYC resident who wants to start a youtube channel for *something*. What's that something? Not entirely sure. All I know is I have some experience behind the camera, and I need some people who *want* experience in front of the camera, and then some!

Hello everyone, hope you're having a nice day. I'm a 16 year old who wants to be an actor in the US. But it's impossible for me to be an actor there as I live in Turkey and don't know anybody there.

Hello everyone, The desire to act has always been within me (by always I mean since a few years) but it is also terrifying me, especially that I know practically nothing about this world except from what I hear in interviews and read on internet.

Hello, guys! I am an amateur actor who enjoys doing theatre/improv for fun, but I've hit a bit of a roadblock.

Would Drama School be considered a "waste of time" if you already have an agent? I was fortunate enough to land an agent at a young age, which meant that I could get away with having a smaller resume than the standard. My resume only consisted of studio classes, and I am still regularly taking them. But, despite that a…

I’m taking a new acting class that I really love. The problem? Every time I get on the stage, I start shaking and get nervous. I hate it so much.

hello, just an amateur voice actor.

Curious if anyone has any knowledge of this.
