Hi! I am going to be auditioning for a production of *Cinderellie-Mae* at a local theater. The website says that we will be cold reading from the script. I read through the script online and the directions said that actors should speak in a strong country accent. Should I try to cold read off of the script with an acce…

I'm trying to find representation for acting and saw this ad on Actor's Access saying that this service they offer could help me "get in front of Los Angeles and New York Talent Agents and Managers". Have you had good experiences with it?

I got booked as an extra in a movie coming out in the next year or 2. The cast is full of insanely famous and ridiculously good actors. I’m mainly excited to be on set - to see how everything works and get the chance to watch these actors in their element. Couple questions: 1. Is networking on set a thing if I’m there…

So I heard that you should pay your agents even for jobs you got yourself. I’m totally in favor of this and understand it’s importance. The question I have is if there was a formal method to doing this or is it just being honorable and paying your agent what they’re owed out of what you’re directly paid as an actor?

Actor here! (24F Black and Asian) and checking in to see if people are getting auditions lately? It feels slow from my agent and manager but I’ve been hearing that’s normal this time of year?

I'm just curious. This is about my Actors Access/ Casting Networks profile. My theatrical agent asked me to list my real age. I thought casting isn't supposed to ask about the real age of actors. Have you guys heard that they run actual searches for age ranges on agent rosters?

I'm a new voice actor. I've been at it about two months now. I've seen a little success and would like to keep advancing my skills and career.

I'm primarily a voice actor right now but I find traditional acting translates better to stuff like this, hence why I'm here and not over on the VA subreddit. I have a problem with being in my head, especially if it's a bigger project. It makes me overthink things and become overly critical of a performance which stops…

Hello everyone, Still French actor in training, I just did a few contests for national schools, and the verdict is firm: I have a body so unstable and unbalanced it is impressive in the bad way.

As title - also what is the cause? I wasn't sure where best to ask this question, but I figured a voice acting subreddit would be the best place.

Back when I was an actor, if you wanted to be taken seriously you didn't list extra roles, no matter how big the show. For those of you who are working actors, has this way of thinking changed?
