let’s be real here - Hollywood is pretty racist towards all people of color but I feel Asians are the least seen in any show or movie. Every time I ask my friends to name an Asian actor(or any famous Asian) it’s either London Tipton (Brenda song from suite life of Zach and cody) or Sandra oh both of which have barely b…

I love acting but pursue it on a more low-key/fun level here in Atlanta; my philosophy is that I want to enjoy it, and if it pays the bills one day, I'll go from there. I've considered moving to NYC next year for a change of scenery; obviously it's a great city for professional actors, but do opportunities exist for am…

Is it necessary to perfect them or explore them? Do actors who get casted and need a foreign accent usually know how to do them already or is it the look and talent that gets them that part?

I thought with how many active people were on here that kind of thing would gain traction here, but it doesn't appear so, but that's ok!

A friend of mine is taking some sort of film class and has recently asked me to do some voice overs for some animated sequences that he is working on. He asked me because I have DM’d for him before and he felt like i’d enjoy doing some voice work. While that is extremely correct, I have absolutely no experience in legi…

Hello. I’m thinking I might get into acting, but just to be safe I want to get a bachelors in psychology since it doesn’t always work out for everyone to be an actor. Is minoring in acting going to make me graduate later?

Hello people of /r/acting! So, I want to open up a discussion about representation.

Hi! I'm curious if it's still necessary to keep track of receipts for my taxes when working as an actor in LA.

So I recently saw a casting notice for this movie and one of the roles (the one that I seem to have the best chance at) is an LGBT role. It's going to require male/male interaction. I'm straight, but I have no problem with this if the role requires it, but would it be taboo for me to apply for the role?
