Hi. I'm moderating a Q & A with an Oscar/BAFTA/Golden Globe/SAG nominated actor on Monday in front of a room full of actors. I've tried to come up with questions about the craft (starting out, auditioning, creating a character, doing accents, etc.) but I am not an actor so I was wondering... as actors, *what would you…

So I’m an actor and I built my own studio at home. I’ve been self shooting several short scenes from existing scripts and screenplays. However, now I have a few ideas for short scripts of my own. I am not a writer. I don’t want to be a writer. I want to act. So... any idea how I might meet a writer who would take my id…

We’re doing a Handke play which requires a lot of monologues. No dialogue whatsoever. So when it was my turn during rehearsals tonight, my director called me out and said: “I need you to believe in yourself primarily as an actor but as a person.” And that really stung. Here’s why: I think his point was valid but at the…

Do I need to go to a legit photo printing place, or will Staples, Kodak kiosk, or any drig store printing place will do? I’ve always printed on the Kodak kiosks at Costco. It’s super rare nowadays for CDs to ask for a hardcopy, then when I saw the other actors’ headshots, they were legit... mine was meh.

I studied theater undergrad, but for the past year or so, I have been booking mostly film and TV work. I have some decent credits and my SAG card. I still love theater. I always thought I would move to New York/pursue theater/ get my MFA eventually, but now my life is pointing more towards LA. At 25, would it be worth…

So about 2 years ago, my agent booked me an audition appointment for a co-star role at an illustrious casting director's office - one of the big names in the industry. I initially had apprehensions about going to this audition because I had a travel conflict with the shoot dates that I couldn't back out of. I had alrea…

I’m wondering if it’s legit and if it is worth it. Like are the open calls legitimate? What are some actors that got discovered on backstage?

Hello! I am an actor who’s mostly done a lot of small/medium theatre and freelance voice/audiobook work, but just recently landed a string of pretty meaty short films. In these last few months, I’ve fallen head over heels in love with film in a way I never expected to, and I’m extremely proud of my performances in thes…

Hi I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on good sites to cast actors through for a paid short film. So far people have just told me to use facebook groups, that has worked ok, but would like to know if there are more options.

Heyo fellow actors and artist of reddit, so I'm a senior in college and it's that time of year where everyone is asking what I want to do when I'm out of the classroom clink.

Hey guys, my girlfriend is an actress and she mentioned that she was looking for a book of contemporary plays to use for monologues, preferably written by women. If any of you have something along those lines or any other gift ideas lmk! Thanks!

I found out that a lot of now-famous actors had done auditions for other big series (like CW, Netflix stuff) before they got their big break. Is that 'normal' for actors living in LA (like getting the opportunity to audition for many shows)?

Hi, Was working as a background 2 days ago.We did 4 takes, and after that I and 2 other backgrounds where directed to move into locations out of frame with a comment that we were "crossed out". What does this mean? Director decided that the scene is better w/o background, just principal actors in the shot? Thanks!!

All I hear is "I have a passion for ACTING" or "you need yo have a PASSION for ACTING" to make it in this business. And honestly, I don't know, well more like I don't think I have a passion for the art-form of acting. I don't care about plays as I've never seen one...What I do care about is movies.

Am I wrong here? They were the people in class that gave it 80% at most instead of 110% - hey look they get business and that’s great but something I’ve noticed.

Especially the TV dramas of 80's. Many faded into obscurity. Why? I assume being branded as your TV character hurts your film career. I assume other TV roles offered are retreads of their old character. I also know TV is long hours. Do many go and pursue theatre?

All these online marketplaces for VO talent charge exorbitant amount of fees for simply allowing you to be seen by customers, and giving you the chance to audition. Why do VO actors still use them?
