I'm looking into getting a Masterclass subscription and will of course take the acting classes. I then had the idea of doing a directors class like Scorsese. Would that be a good idea for an aspiring actor to learn more of the directors point of view and understand them a lot more? Or would I just be wasting my time? L…

Hi. I am wondering if anyone had experience with 321 acting studios? They have an overall good rating and it seems like they get good results for young actors but idk I haven’t seen any blogs or reddit posts about them. Additionally, does anyone know any good online acting lessons? I have masterclass and am taking thos…

Hey guys, I was wondering if there were any actors on here that were under 20 and wanted feedback for their acting by a small group? It would basically be getting in a discord call once a week and we all do a 2 minute monologue and receive comments and ways to improve by peers. I want to do this for the many people who…

Hi all, first time poster here! I have a question about about the acting markets in ABQ vs ATL. I currently live in Georgia about 2 hours from ATL and was planning to move in several months but now that I have started looking for places to live in and around the city, I am realizing how much I dislike it.

I’ve seen many actors like Saoirse Ronan, Florence Pugh, Jodie comer, Anya Taylor, etc. who repeatedly keep saying they never had any formal training and actor on their instincts? What does that even mean? Are they just talented enough to be natural actors or they learn acting on the job? What is their process how do t…

I've been considering it and I'm willing to put in countless hours into mending my craft! I'd appreciate it if you'd give me a rough explanation on how hard or simple it is, before I do something irrational!! I'm 18 and looking to this as a job

I want to be an actor. I really do. The craft of acting fascinates me so much. Watching good acting makes me tear up. Doesn't matter if it's grief the actor is showing, or joy. I love it all. What I want to talk about here is my problems with facing a camera. I have as they call it, camera shyness. Mainly because I'm n…

This is a question I’m sure many other actors have, especially during COVID. How can someone best practice acting on their own? I’m not really looking for small little exercises to do each day, though those would be helpful too. Mainly, I’m looking for a loose blueprint to follow where you can stick with a daily plan t…

Don't get me wrong-- I think Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver are GREAT actors with a range but they do not fit how I would have pictured their characters. I think Adam is good at dramatic roles, but I think he fits the character such as in Marriage Story wayyy better than the "evil/secretly love interest" in Star Wars. I…

For the first audition they gave us a list of monologues we had to do, so it was easy just to pick the two I liked the most.
