So basically I have an audition for Drama School soon and I’m not the most social person I like to have my alone time and be creative and what not. When I told my parents that I wanted to be an actor they weren’t really surprised, but they keep telling me that I’ll probably never be an actor because I’m a shy person. T…

Hi all, I'm an actor and photographer/videographer who has currently reached the point in my career where I feel it would be appropriate with a professional website. My only question is I'm unsure if I should just make one website with my name, and include all my professions, or if I should separate it into two website…

Hi everyone. I’m 21 and considering dropping out of college to pursue acting in LA. I was wondering from You all how hard it truly is with little experience, high hopes, and acting classes already found and paid for to become a netflix actor? Is it as impossible as everyone says?

So I have really good reps who I've been with for YEARS and believe in me who get me out constantly. I recently received a self-tape request for a sci-fi role, the dialogue is muted with personality (think Star Trek-style), and I really love this genre so I made sure to get a good tape together. I LOVED my self tape, t…

I tend to have a hard time reading people... So my class practiced a play. My character has a small role in the 3 character play, but I show the most range of emotions. My character goes from crying one second, to laughing the next. It's challenging, but rewarding... Today, we practiced our play in front of the directo…

Okay so I have a dilemma- I'm currently doing a BA in Theatre and I'm *kind of* enjoying it but also part of me wants to switch to history as I feel like I'm more interested in that as an academic subject... but I also want to at least try out being an actor at some point and I'm worried a lack of degree will prevent m…

Hi everyone. Ever since I was six years old and saw Jurassic Park for the first time I have dreamt of becoming an actor.

At a local con, there were plenty of actors and voice actors. I got to ask one who was well known, had acted in many mainstream films, what he thought of Atlanta vs LA as far as film opportunity. His response was that LA has a more serious scene and if I wanted to continue pursuing acting seriously , I should relocate…

I started the Beginner's course in September and have moved into the 3rd level with people who are, yes, in the beginning of their careers, but have years of experience and work.

Was wondering if there is a little community of type 1 diabetics in or around LA, and if they’d be interested in meetups, rehearsals, whatever.

I heard people in LA think rent is insane, but then when numbers are discussed, they really don't seen that bad compared to NY. How expensive is LA really? As an actor do you get a lot of auditions?

Hi all, I'd say I'm an intermediate home voice actor trying to get more professional work. My current setup is very simple; an AKG c414 with a short XLR to a Tascam DR-100 mkIII recorder.

I’ve noticed that most MFA students I have seen or encountered are generally considered “attractive” by society’s standards.

Hey! I'm reaching out to try and find a female voice actor to play the role of the narrator/radio companion in our game.
