Hi, I originally asked this on the directing subreddit, but I was wondering, as actors, what do you think could improve film rehearsals? I’ve recently been listening to and reading a lot of interviews with theatre actors. They all seem to love the rehearsal process for theatre which lasts two months and allows them to…

I have a semi alternative appearance and I sometimes change my look in different ways(removing or adding piercings, slightly different hair, etc.). Nothing drastic, I don’t even dye my hair anymore so that I can keep a more consistent look, and I was told by my agent minor changes are fine as long as a similar vibe is…

Hey all, I'm a voice actor who built a tool to hep me with longform narration and I'd love feedback from people here. It's called VoxPrompter and here's what it can actually do for you: The teleprompter follows your voice word by word as you speak.

Hello all, I’ll keep it short and straightforward. There’s a director that I met and would love to work with, he has a couple of features on his name but he’s quite indie and tackling themes and ideas that I resonate with. We’ve already spoken and told each other we’ll work together one day. Right now he’s editing one…

I’ve been reading for a large number of movie of the week and lifetime/Hallmark films recently and I have a good feeling about recent submissions. What can I expect if cast?

Hi there! I’m a semi-professional actor and stage manager, and have gotten my degree in theatre.

My child had a commercial callback today for something she never taped for. It was to be one of 2 kids.

I know these “parents” wer…

I see on actors access a breakdown for a SAG film by a filmmaker i would love to work with, but they make it very clear they are looking for local hires and will not be flying people in from other states or nyc (where I live). They are looking for people within a 1 hour drive of the town, which is in upstate New York.…
