Hey, guys! I’m a 20 year old “actress” based in London. So, this time last year, I decided to drop out of Film school to pursue acting (very original, I’m aware haha). I’d been wanting to act since I was pretty much able to speak, but never had the lady balls to admit it. It wasn’t until I went to University, that I co…

Have you ever decided to take a big leap in your career because becoming struggling actor is tiring? Have you ever taken a big 9 to 5 job halfway through your acting career? Not your typical waitressing job, like a real corporate job, not admin either. I don't plan on quitting acting but I know this job will slow down…

I’m currently a sophomore in high school and I know this will make me sound just like every other fifteen year old out there but I really want to be an actress and when I say really I mean I was telling my mother when I was four years old that I wanted to be an actress in movies more than anything in the entire world.…

I'm getting into acting and I'm kinda worried about the fact I wear a wig. I shaved my head a couple months ago because of personal reasons so I've been wearing a human hair wig that's similar to how my hair was before. I asked online about it before and someone said it's fine if that's how I look daily, but someone el…

Do any of you have any experience with non standard (ie waiter, bartender, barista) jobs while trying to break into the world voice acting (specifically video game and anime/animation) or do you know of anyone who was say a teacher, personal trainer, or a counselor or something?

Hey folks, it was just brought to my attention that this casting call on Backstage is just a front for a headshot scam that has come up here before: https://www.backstage.com/casting/the-hill-top-293534/ Here are links to the scam mentioned here: https://www.reddit.com/r/acting/comments/beoti8/casting_headshot_scam_nyc…

Hello everyone! I work in Talent Development for a social app with monetized live-streaming.

Hello everyone! First time posting here, I’ve always wanted to act but I’m not sure where to start! I’ve done some unpaid background work on student films before but I’m not sure what the next steps are. It seems that most professional actors have agents but I’m not sure how to get one of those?!

As the title states, what initially interests you in an international actor when they submit their package to you? I feel like I’ve got enough experience on screen and training to make the next step to an international agency, because I believe I have a great chance for the market in North America & Canada especially (…

I was cast in a play a couple months ago. The director/writer was very unorthodox to put it simply. She often stepped over my boundaries as a person in ways that were extremely irrelevant to my character or the play as a whole. (I.e., she once gave me an exercise where I had to “sadly” confess that I was molested as a…

Hello! It’s college audition season, which means that I get to spend my days having that slight actor paranoia of making sure I get every possible piece of advice to feel as prepared as I can be.
