Hey guys! My male best friend would always tell me he wished he had the talent for acting and how he never tried to actually learn it because he never thought he could become a good actor. However he is pretty good looking and I think he could do something. Any advice I could give to him?

Two years ago I met with this agency which seems to be a big agency with great google reviews. I went there and I didn’t like the agent, he came across to me as rude and a weird attitude and didn’t really take the time get to know what I did at all, he seem to be very rushed but there was no one else there, he only sai…

Should I go through every single agent in an agency? Is there a quicker way to do it? Also i can’t seem to find anything about specific ages or breeds needed? Should I look at their past works and see if I fit with the actors they’re representing? Thank you so much for all the help!

I’m a beginner actor who is currently in acting school . I just started lexapro 10 mg (for anxiety and minor depression) 5 days ago and besides the side effects ( nausea, dizziness, tingles,etc.) For scenes now I can’t seem to get myself upset (anger or crying) for a situation. My brain keeps on telling me to calm down…

I’m from an English speaking country and I’m thinking of going to London to try my luck with the acting scene. I’d like to attend some auditions and if I’m cast, stay for the production. Realistically, how far would I get without the right visa for actors? I obviously don’t want to get myself in trouble, but I figure i…

From ages 14-24 I took many acting classes at Stella Adler Studio of Acting (NY), Stella Adler Academy Of Acting (LA), and some local theatre classes in NJ and CA. A good chunk of beginners acting classes, lots of money and some small parts later… After having a rough go of it in CA (I up and moved with no plan at 21 y…

You're pitching, you're submitting, you're getting their name out there. You've got a client with great credits, materials, and talent. But no appointments are coming through for months at a time.

Hi all, I have previously done a little bit of work with Central Casting, and used to get frequent texts about available projects. I declined most of them because I also have a nearly full-time job, but every once in a while, I'd book something. A couple months ago, the messages stopped entirely, which I thought was we…

The creators of the short film made sure to promote all the actors on their social media, so that was nice at least. However, I thought that this role would have more screen time. Turns out it's mostly voice acting in a phone scene. Should I tell them I've changed my mind? Is it worth it for the experience?

I'm going to VO Atlanta this year, and between the registration, flight, hotel, and food, it's going to be expensive, especially for a beginning voice actor. Are any of the X-Sessions worthwhile? They certainly seem great - small groups of intensive, focused study with some VO masters, but for $199 on top of everything…

I’ve been wanting to get into acting for a while, and I took a class last semester at my university. I ended up dropping the class towards the end of the semester for personal reasons.

Curious to know - what was it like for you originally starting, and stepping out of your comfort zone? How has acting and putting yourself out there changed you over time? Sincerely, a scared little man still hesitant to make the first leap of 'bravery' by signing up for a class

Hi I know the headline sounds incredibly naive but please hear me out, haha So I've been an actor for some years and have had some small to mid-size roles in things shot over here in Europe, some of them pretty big projects.

I tend to search the IMDB/wiki of actors in shows I stumble upon (an actor thing lol).

How does an actor know the size of their fanbase, besides social media channels? Which isn't an accurate measure. This might seem like a dumb question, but I'm genuinely intrigued in the answers.

Pretty much the title. I was into acting for about 10 years. I’m 24 (been SAG since I was 12), and I’m 5’7. Been in many SAG film productions with lines and actual screen time.

It takes subtle inflections of our mouth muscles to whistle. As a voice actor I feel like we specialize in having command over the muscles of our mouth/throat/voice and am curious to see if there's any relationship between the two. [View Poll](https://www.reddit.com/poll/10nwwie)

Hi all, looking for suggestions others might have done. We have an older lead actor that just can't get his lines down. If he just needed some cues I could put a starting line or two in areas for him, but really he needs his script as he can lose it mid sentence. I figure I'll have to get some kind of large book he can…

Kind of a random question, but I’ve been watching a lot of WW1 & WW2 movies recently.

If you had the choice to sign with WME or CAA which agency would you choose and why?

I made my round of callbacks, and someone applied for two roles. I really loved her in one of the roles and she's definitely the front runner at the moment for it.
