I’ve been recently seeing posts of actors saying that with the recent strike , the industry is slow in most markets and especially in Atlanta. However , I’ve been seeing that recently in several Atlanta agent websites and pages that their talent is booking work left and right despite this strike coming and it being slo…

I'm currently taking a break to work on improving my health. Recently, an ER doc diagnosed me with congestive heart failure; however, I think he misdiagnosed me. Tomorrow, I meet with a cardiologist. All of this has me thinking about my professional future. I have tentative plans to buy land in Santa Clarita and build…

There seem to be a lot of threads on here where someone is finding it hard to say no to something that is obviously bad for them. Or where someone walks away - often much later than most people would - from an unfair situation and then feels guilty about it. Is this a common trait among actors? I’m beginning to wonder…

I've seen a couple good tweets recently about "breaking into" and "big breaks" in voice-over, and the assumptions around those. [Here's one.](https://twitter.com/SaraSecoraVO/status/1644358964715421699?s=20) Fundamentally, the issue is that aspiring actors and folks starting out make the mistake of thinking that a path…

I have a very nice name (or so I’ve been told) but it’s a very feminine name, and I am a guy. Now I know lots of actors and actresses have strange names, but I’m just wondering if you think an agent or something could find a problem with my name. Name is Lillette

So by bus I live about an hour to two hours away where things shoot in my area. I've gotten majority commercial roles and also principal and supporting roles, which I don't mind the commute because of the money and the credits i can put on my resume. Sometimes I've been cast in "actor" roles sometimes which is a step u…

I love being a part of this community and learning and sharing with other actors. With so many things going on in our world in terms of the looming strikes, work slowdowns, etc., I just wanted to drop in and say keep going, folks!

It just hasn’t been working out. They got me a lot of exposure near the beginning but it feels sort of scam like now. They’ve only been in the manager game for about a year and have 90 clients, I don’t normally get auditions from them, their management company only has two managers, etc. I feel like I have more luck on…

I'm so angry. I had an Eco-cast callback, recorded and edited it, went to submit it on time and AA was down. I kept checking back all day and it was still down, checked before bed and it was down.

I’ve recently been cast as a supporting actor in a student film. This character only has 3 lines and is only in one scene. This is no pay and it’s about 2 hours from where I live.

I'm not a voice actor or a VO artist. I make YouTube videos and I'm adding VO to my videos so they can be a little more engaging. I absolutely hate the sound of my voice in playback. It makes it a chore to get through editing and makes my overall video production process twice as long.

For the theatre apprenticeship, I plan to apply for, actors are to send in self-tape audition videos. The instructions say to make sure that my whole body can be seen throughout the entire video.

Instead of starting with what you think the casting director is looking for and working backwards, start with your intuition and experience of the role and work from there, ignoring your perception of the casting director. Doing it this way not only helps you deliver a more original and more memorable performance, but…

I've been looking into some actors recently from Game of Thrones and noticed a lot of them have some nepotism small to large.
