Throwaway for obvious reasons. Hey r/acting- I’ve felt a bit stuck in my career lately and I don’t really know who to go to for help/if there’s anything I can do. I’m stuck in this liminal space- I have great reps, several great network guest star credits, supporting roles on indie and major films, and I audition with…

I’m strongly considering moving to Atlanta to further my career and would love to know other Atlanta actors experiences! I have an upcoming meeting with a pretty good atl agent but I’m worried about limiting myself to smaller roles like only day player and co-stars when production will usually fly in leads and large re…

I do not work in casting, however through some of the work I do in entertainment, I see a lot of auditions, a lot of performers, and have the opportunity to see different people do the same commercial/monologue/scene over and over. One thing that should be obvious to a lot of us, but often isn't, is how often people ma…

Hi. I am just an ignorant person here who knows nothing about acting careers and related matters, and the help of anyone here would be appreciated.

Hey guys, ​ Just wanted to recommend an audiobook I'm listening to at the moment. "The Actors Life: A Survival Guide" by Jenna Fischer.

I’m 32 and at a new point in my life where I don’t have any roots really tying me down. While I went to NYU film school I’ve never really been an actor.

Hi everyone, hope you're well. I recently began trying to make Youtube videos with a very talented actor coming in to serve as the narrator. We'd worked together before but on extremely short social spots and also on live-action projects but films that were mostly silent. For this reason, I hadn't noticed any sort of i…

I don’t live in a major city, so outside of the small pool of local talent I’ll have to look elsewhere for casting a short film. Are there decent actors who will travel (provided) for small time/no name rolls for 2/300 a day? Im not expecting big name actors or anything, just curious if this is even feasible.

My acting has been laughed and yawned at and my singing has been demeaned by people with them telling me I can’t do it and need to find something else to pursue and it makes me think these creative pursuits are truly only for people who have the natural aptitude for it.

As an aspiring actor, I love to watch passionate and emotional performances to learn and to be captivated by it. My sister loves NCIS and watches it all the time.

Any general thoughts on where the industry will go in 2023? For example I know Seattle, WA just passed a local film commission to fund more projects, which means there will likely be an increase in paid casting calls for the area. Are there any other industry news or trends for 2023 that actors should pay attention to?
