I was introduced to acting through monologues and Shakespeare, not particularly using any technique. However, I know that I "self-direct" and heavily rehearse my lines and emotional beats so that each performance is basically like the last. Which brings me to the allure of Meisner and being open to and listening to the…

Hello actors (especially actors in Los Angeles)! I'm moving to L.A in a couple months and just wanted to know if you had any acting class recommendations? I'm planning on checking out Groundlings right off the bat, but I was also hoping to find a class that has more of an on-camera scene study vibe. Also, any recommend…

So I've been actor professionally now for about 2-3 years, but haven't really crossed this issue until now. I recently got some fantastic headshots done in October last year, and since then my hair has grown a bit, but I don't want to "change my look" per say, and as such don't think new headshots are warranted. In my…

So, I'm pretty excited about an upcoming audition tomorrow, but I think I already failed before I even started. The audition asks for having an accent, and I don't know if I can pull it off. Should I go, butcher a British accent, and go anyway because it's an opportunity nonetheless? Or should I cancel and avoid making…

I found a post someone did a few years ago super helpful in my audition process, and wanted to pay it forward. Also, I wanted to share some info about American Conservatory Theater (A.C.T.) because I was so nervous about leaving NYC as a working actor and moving to San Francisco, and feel absolutely silly about it now.…

I am looking for a female voice actor helping me to dub some short scenes of a short film.

I live in Spain and here we don't have auditions so often. I was living in Barcelona so only commercials there.

I'm an actor (not VO trained) but for some odd reason my manager keeps getting me VO auditions. Last night I got one at 11:30pm and I just got another today! And it's due tomorrow at noon!

I’ve heard so many movie star actors, interviews, talk about reading a script and trying to “find out” who their character is/what they are going through/etc. What are some methods you guys use to bring the character to “life”, decide what “blocking” to use, how to speak as your character, etc? Do you try a bunch of di…

If you get rejected by a talent agent, it isn't Armageddon. It's part of being a voice actor. Don't crawl into a corner, feel sorry yourself and quit! You have to keep trying.

Beginning actor hear who is probably overthinking. I booked a lead in a web series which is awesome. Anyway, sometimes with scripts, a voice just comes out of it, i definitely try not to force it.
