Hello y'all, writer here wanting an honest opinion, I've been developing a tv show I want to eventually pitch to HBO, Netflix, Hulu, etc surrounding a relationship between a regular dude and a porn star (think Boogie Nights meets You're the Worst or Netflix's Love). I can ask all the writers in the world for their opin…

I've been interested in theater my whole life. I was in plays in school. I was a star player in the improv troupe in college. I worked on film sets as a PA for about 3 years, so I have a good feel for what film life is like. Until Covid, I was a circus performer with a small clown troupe. I can juggle and walk on stilt…

I have a unique opportunity about a year from now (hopefully in a COVID free world) to spend some time in Los Angeles for extremely little rent. It’s such a good opportunity that even though there may still be some closures, I’m not gonna pass it up! So I would have roughly 1-5 months to feel it out and see if the city…

So, I've been wanting to create YouTube content centered around media criticism. However, my fear is that if I were to show my face, potential directors and most importantly, companies I work with may see it. For example, if I were to want to work with Disney in some capacity, but I posted a piece on YouTube criticizin…

Saks is a predator who will invite you to meet up for a “work session” on the weekend after your first audition. That’s when he makes his move. He does this with boys/men of ALL ages. I don’t know how he hasn’t been outed yet. But steer clear.

Mini Actress Rant: I was having a look through breakdowns and seriously, the amount of ones I've come across asking people for topless frontal and/or full rear nudity for literally $0.00 is astounding. Do they seriously not see a problem with this? You want me to stand there naked in front of a crew, on camera, for *no…

Hi! New to this community. I've been having some odd problems with the form of method that made up the base of my training and I wonder if anyone has had similar experiences and have gotten through them.

Not quite sure where to start with this but; I'm fourteen. When I was younger (say about nine or ten?) I dreamed of being a professional actor. I did summer camps, pantomimes, drama classes and main roles in school plays etc. I was convinced that this was what I wanted to do with my life, I adored it, and I made sure t…

Creating truthful emotions creates a lot of stress and confusion for a lot of actors. When you’re confused and stressed it’s damn near impossible to be open and available when you’re expected to deliver the emotional goods. But I’ve got good news! There are only 3 reasons why you are struggling with emotions . 1. Techn…

Always mulled over the idea of being an actor, and now I've decided to give it a try-- not in the sense of trying to be a professional actor but just to participate in some plays or whatever small thing I can find that is creative and enjoyable, even if its only a line or something.

I've been to many film/TV and commercial auditions and still haven't booked anything!

I won't give too much away so it doesn't bias the survey, but I've been mentoring this actor for a little while.

Being in lockdown for so long finally made me realise that if I really want to be an actor, then I need to get up and pursue it.

I've never been to acting school or any auditions. But I cringe so hard when I see amateurs act. I'm an amateur myself so I cringe when I'm acting aswell. Also I've never acted infront of other people in my life, I've only acted by myself for practice. This is a huge problem since I want to go to acting school. I just…

Non-actor here. How to explain? There is a lot of bad acting and hokiness on Buffy the Vampire Slayer for example; but it works.
