A few years ago I moved to a new country. Now I speak the language well enough, but my acting career has slowed down for obvious reasons. Through lucky circumstances I managed to book a meeting with an international film director from here (not for an audition or anything specific, just a meetup); so other than watchin…

I’ve never seen this but I’m also a few months into AA so maybe it’s normal? I saw a role for a short film and liked the idea so I applied, got an eco cast and submitted my self tape. During this time, the casting director probably didn’t know how to use AA because I was getting multiple messages all saying the same th…

I greatly appreciate the success and progress I’ve made. I’m 33 years old and I started acting 5 years ago. Since then I’ve got an LA agent, booked 3 supporting roles in low budget feature films, booked 4 episodes in a low budget tv series, and became SAG eligible. Now I’m just not sure how to get to the next level. I’…

I know some scenes were shot without Ronald so that allows for retakes but how tf did they not break when interacting with him. If I had to do Noah’s “I’m a racist” scene or be the defendant’s attorney, I would have absolutely lost my mind the second I made eye contact with the other actors. I’m truly mind blown!

the examples he gave me were for really accomplished actors they represent, like people that have multiple series / recurrings / supporting roles in films opposite major stars.... ... and i don't have that yet. so my "accomplishments" would be training and student films... it kinda seems pathetic to write it like that.…

On November 5, 2007, the WGA strike was called, but our show did not shut down. Yes, the DGA (and Teamsters) had no-solidarity strike clauses in their contracts, but were supportive of the strike (many of the directors and producers were also WGA members). The strike called for writers to stop writing. Whatever had bee…

I feel like it was an open call but I have no fact. So an agent was probably possible for the few with more experience. I doubt it was on actors access though. Just curious.

I'm shooting a commercial in NYC and I am looking to get a professional non-union actor. Would anyone know what is the day rate for this?

I assume most have seen the news about the looking Writers strike May 1st and I’ve seen some about a SAG strike in solidarity. I’m wondering what this is going to mean for the every day actor? I assume there won’t be any auditions while this is going on? In that instance is it more beneficial to go workshops or classes…

As the title states. I am thinking of diving into CN and KR dubs of various media, as I am enjoyer of quality dubs regardless of language, and I am curious as to who are considered among the most popular VAs in those dubs across different age groups and experience levels. Many thanks in advance to those who can answer!

I'm in an amateur acting club for teens and we have to do an educational performance about respect to a bunch of 6th graders.

Hi, this is my throwaway account. I had an audition yesterday where at the end they told me to call them today. i just spoke with them and they said they couldn't really do anything until i have headshots and a reel. i just started acting so i don't have anything to put on a reel. they also recommended acting classes s…

I have been applying to agents for a few years now, nobody expressed interest except for one smaller agency a few months ago.

In the world of auditioning, no news is often the only news: If you don’t hear back, it means they went with someone else. While it would be great to receive closure via direct rejection, casting directors may not have the bandwidth to notify every auditioner who didn’t get a callback or book the part. They are also no…

Hello, everyone. I'm here because my fiancee is enrolled in school and Acting classes here in Ontario, woo! However, with that, I'm unsure of how to help her proceed.

This is something I've noticed lately on Actors Access and Backstage. Some breakdowns (mostly student films) will have age ranges of 20+ years, like from 18-40 or 25-50. I'm just curious as to the mindset behind this? I'd assume the casting director/whoever is casting would know the general age of the character they're…

What’re your thoughts on getting Botox for Elevens and the forehead? I’m a woman approaching my 40’s and thinking of getting it done to get a smoother forehead. But I don’t want it to adversely affect my acting. Has anyone done it? What’s been your experience?

Hey all -Has anyone ever been in a similar situation? It might sound shallow, but there's a reason PAUL MESCAL and MARGOT ROBBIE beat out other talent on projects because of their screen presence on top of the talent.

Everything i read for is dramatic. Which makes sense, as that's how i've marketed myself thus far. But i'm trying to expand now. I'm pretty bored reading for procedurals.

I drove around today (cars can make for an excellent booth) and did impromptu voiceovers with a sprinkle of silliness for some random places. This was definitely enough fun to want to do again.

A film I auditioned for announced its cast and most of the cast all belong to the same agency and are also executive producers. Why even send notices to agencies if you're just going to hire your producers as talent? A lot of these castings seem performative to me. When you look at who gets cast, when you connect the d…
