Do agencies like UTA, MGMT, WMA, CAA, Paradigm, MKS&D, AEFH, etc only sign actors who are SAG? Or do they recruit Non-Union actors and hope the casting directors they send them to audition for would "Taft-Hartley" you if you get the part? Would they sign Non-Union actors who are SAG-eligible but not SAG?

This will need to be 'real' heavy crying, with sobbing, wailing etc. I tried hiring off a website or two but ended with just badly acted whining so hoping to find real voice actors here. The person who could deliver would be someone with emotional ranges of real gri…

I am 18 years old and acting but I have realized that when watching most movies, TV shows, or whatever, most actors aged like 17-21 have no arm hair for sure and none or almost no leg hair. Do directors make you shave it off since it looks better for the screen and because a lot of people don't see teenagers with hairy…

I'm currently in drama school. I love acting, on stage or on camera. However, I'm insecure about the way I look, especially about the fact that I pretty much have no chin.

When I decided I wanted to pursue my dream to act, I was excited and anxious all rolled into one.

How do you think this technology will affect the voice acting industry in years to come? There’s a very real chance that computers will get so good at imitating natural sounding human voices that they will be able to read scripts flawlessly and most voice actors will no longer be needed.
