Ever since the majority of what we do has gone remote, i.e. classes, auditions, workshops, etc., the usual face-to-face "community" aspect of my day to day has been severely lacking, so I'd simply like to reach out to more actors to see how I can be useful. As we're doing way more remote auditions, I'm looking to serve…

It is someone who identifies and/or presents as female? Or would it imply sexuality as well? I've heard femme in the context of queer/lesbian women, but I've seen so many casting/audition notices using the term "femme-identifying" without any mention of lgbtq+ in the call, nor any themes related to the community. Also,…

Hey guys! I just moved to London from Amsterdam. Due to the pandemic, I had no motivation left to take serious steps towards the acting industry. However, since I’m here, I really want to pick up acting again and tap into the acting opportunities in London. The problem is, I haven’t met people yet with the same creativ…

Before my acting class today, a fellow actor approached me and offered to refer me to their agent out of the blue! I am extremely grateful and happy that they believe in my work and would be willing to speak on my behalf. However, I am not sure if my resume is ready. I have a plethora of theatre credits, but no tv and…

I'm a high school senior planning to become an international student maybe in the United States or Canada. I want to know any experiences some of you might have had with regards to being a working actor post-grad or pre-grad (if your visa allowed it). Is one country more welcoming than the other?

I have always had an intense fear of public speaking. On the other hand, I’ve always wanted to get into acting. I know there are actors out there who say acting is different than getting up in front of a group of people and giving a speech. Is that true? I want to get into acting so bad and this is the only thing that’…

i live in the southeast in a relatively small town, so maybe unlike L.A., I can't find flyers or anything advertising them.

Does one simply *give up acting*? I've seen a lot of posts lately on social media and it's odd to me when actor friends say they are going to 'give up acting' and do something else. **I have friends that are painters, sculptors, musicians that have never written something like this.** If they decide to go off the road…

I notice that a lot of voice actors just by following their social media accounts are left leaning. Not saying it's a bad thing.
