I've been waitressing at the same place for almost 7 years. It's been good to me financially, and I’m grateful for that, but I’m at the point where I know I’m staying primarily because it’s safe and familiar. I’m an independent musician and have been actively working on my music, as well as getting involved in film/cre…

I’m a new ACTRA performer trying to understand the actual industry practice around “local hire.” I recently spoke with ACTRA Toronto and was told that there are IPA provisions for Toronto-area performers working beyond a certain radius that can provide for transportation, accommodation and per diem.

Choose a monologue that runs one to two minutes and comes from a piece where your character is actively trying to change, persuade, or influence someone, not simply narrate a story. Read the full script if available, so you understand the world, the relationship you're speaking into, and…

I have a semi alternative appearance and I sometimes change my look in different ways(removing or adding piercings, slightly different hair, etc.).

Hi, I originally asked this on the directing subreddit, but I was wondering, as actors, what do you think could improve film rehearsals?
