I’m looking to become a more serious actor, and my film acting teacher recommended me to start improv! This improv class has a bunch of kids who know what they’re doing, and I’m afraid I’m going to make a fool of myself. Improv is technically just having good timing and always knowing what to say....but I’m a bit slow…

I only recently found out actors are listed on RT, not just titles. Just saw that two of my credits are randomly attached to my name, both from TV. Do people add these details, or is it just AI? And why some credits and not others? Does it actually matter to anyone in casting?

Being an actress is my lifelong dream but lately I’ve been thinking if I will book jobs once I really put myself out there. I’m very insecure with how I look and the prejudice against POCs aren’t really helping my confidence. I used to view Hollywood as the poster-blonde-blue eyed-tall girls land and I’m not that. For…

I’m not talking about fanmail but more like, how Carey Mulligan sent Julian Fellows letters when she was 18 to ask for him to help her start her career and guide her.

I heard that actors mostly audition in the day and have to work at a night job. Is that true? Do B-list and C-list have an extra job in case they haven’t gotten any roles? How can a person become an A-list actor? I ain’t an actor so yeah, forgive me LOL
