Going into highschool next year, I've been thinking about my career a lot. And I always come back to acting. When I think of being an actor I think of bringing a character to life and entertaining so many people. That is what I love and want to do. But I feel like everyone in my life thinks I only want to be rich and a…

I know it sounds like this question has an obvious answer, but I’m asking because of the circumstances of the audition. I recently auditioned for a play in which i was the only POC to audition. I got a callback, but unfortunately did not get the part. I know it’s sort of messed up to think like this, but part of me won…

I was lucky to get a free BM800 microphone from a friend that is an XLR to USB mic. The cable is starting to go and I have noticed a severe increase in background noise and feedback that is coming just from the cable (it actually used to be almost entirely silent when I first started to use it). When I borrowed my frie…

People online say that you start gaining experience in a school's drama club or at a local theater. Unfortunately, I live in a country where none of those exist. I assume all schools here don't have clubs at all, nor does the country have any local theaters. Workshops in my area aren't present either, since they all ar…

I’m curious to know if anyone has examples of actors that were “bad”/much less skilled at the beginning of their career but have grown into highly skilled actors. I’m looking for some inspiration to keep me sane as I critique my old tapes. I think I remember hearing that Brad Pitt wasn’t great at his start but that he…

For context, I'm a 20 y/o college student. The way I got into acting is kinda strange, I'd act out scenes from books/films when I was 11 and self-taped myself to practice until I was about 13, and exchanged feedback with my friends who were also into acting. In high school, I participated in basically all of the plays/…

If I could bring any actor back from the dead I would bring Heath Ledger back because of how talented and amazing of a person he is. I would also love to see his reaction to the dark knight and just what else he would do with his talents

This has been asked 100 times but I forgot the answer so please help me out. When I see myself on camera I look really rigid and all my movements seem forced or too harsh, and my face looks completely diffferent, especially when I laugh or whatever.

Hi everyone. I have never really had any idea what I wanted to do with my life until recently I got the idea of becoming an actor. That idea became a burning passion and now I am certain that acting is what I want to do. I haven't been to any classes etc. and my only experience comes from a few school plays. I would ap…

I'm bitten by the writing bug. While not good enough to be a paid writer, anyway I write because I crave writing and can't help it. To me, writing is like pooping. I can temporarily forget about any pain in my life (like I completely focus on pushing hard to poop) and feel so good after squeezing it out of myself. Many…

Usually when you see people posting about making a decision on whether to pursue acting professionally and major in acting, a lot of people will advise that the OP should choose another major and continue to act as a hobby.

I'm currently in NYC (starting my MFA this year) and this is where I have the most connections and the strongest network. Personally, though, I'd like to eventually move to LA.

Hey, I don't know anything about acting, but I love some actors like Freddie Highmore. His acting is always superb and I think he is a genius. It seems to me that what makes him superb is: As for other good actors/actresses, it's like they make a mold of the character's body and get inside it. Or they make a mask or bo…
