I am playing Jud Fry in a production of Oaklahoma! and at a few points in the show Jud gets angry. We are doing run throughs at the moment. This particular instance was the smokehouse scene with Curly. When I stood up in a fit of rage and shot the ceiling I realized that after building up my emotions and becoming angry…

Would a Production Assistant be a good survival job for an aspiring actor? I know it’s probably not a flexible job, but my thought is that it would help me learn about the process/what it’s like being on set, and there’s always the perk of being able to make industry connections. The thing I’m the most worried about is…

I am looking through actors access and would love to take a shot at any role whatsoever. Clearly it'd be a small one to start, but acting just seems so damn fun and I think those are the intentions I should have. Not notoriety, fame, attention, ect - Just doing it because you enjoy it. My fear is that people in the ind…

Ok so I’m wondering if this thought process could hold me back as an actor or help me out in the long run. I am an actress with Asperger’s syndrome and I have always seen acting as being in my own world or pretending is what you could say. When I get into it I feel like I am that character and the world around me can j…

Hello everyone! I have recently been sent a feature film script, through my agent, who said the writer and the director want to know if I'm interested in playing one of the two supporting/lead characters.

So I’ve been really trying at acting for about a month and a half now. I’ve had two roles so far: one as an extra in a commercial (no speaking lines) and one for a Movember thing sponsored by Planters. I’ve been applying to a bunch of roles on Backstage/Actors Access but one thing I notice is that a lot of roles requir…

As a director and cinematographer I'm curious to hear what you think as an actor when the camera is close to you or far from you?

For a long time now I've had many people tell me that I would be a good potential voice actor (as I'm sure many of the talents here have). but I'm just more or less lost on how to get myself out there.

Hi fellow actors, So I have an audition for this play on Saturday. I have a comedic monologue in my rotation, but lately it’s been feeling pretty stale.

I'm new to theatre. So when there are callbacks, does that mean they've narrowed the search to those being called back (kind of like in sports and you've made the first cut)?
