I've been to many film/TV and commercial auditions and still haven't booked anything! I know that skill is involved but I don't think this is the biggest issue for me as I have been to many acting classes and have done well for non paying student films. I've noticed that most of my photogenic acting friends are booking…

I won't give too much away so it doesn't bias the survey, but I've been mentoring this actor for a little while. He sent me this survey for a class he's taking, to forward onto some of my friends in casting. I thought I'd share it here too. I checked it out and it is very quick and easy.

Being in lockdown for so long finally made me realise that if I really want to be an actor, then I need to get up and pursue it. I was fired from my job and I’m so glad I was, if I hadn’t been fired I would’ve never started this acting course. I haven’t acted in over 2 years now, I feel very rusty and I’m lucky that be…

I've never been to acting school or any auditions. But I cringe so hard when I see amateurs act. I'm an amateur myself so I cringe when I'm acting aswell. Also I've never acted infront of other people in my life, I've only acted by myself for practice. This is a huge problem since I want to go to acting school. I just…

Non-actor here. How to explain? There is a lot of bad acting and hokiness on Buffy the Vampire Slayer for example; but it works. I’m still buying into the premise of demons and a teenage girl who fights them with her best pals. Is the campy vibe a choice made by the director? The actors? The script-writers? Is there a…
