Okay, i know this is probably a really commonly asked question on here but i’m going to ask it, so here it goes. Agents- how do i get one? I’m going to sign up to backstage and similar sites when I eventually sit down to do so, but are there other ways of getting them? Is cold calling (if thats the right term) a good i…

I know it’s never too late to start but you have so many actors making it in their 20’s who staring acting in their teens and younger and then theres me just starting in my mid-20’s. I always wonder where I’d be today if I had started earlier but who knows.

I’ve looked up hundreds of things to try and find professional jobs for voice actors but I can’t find anything. Same with musical theatre but I can’t really apply to that yet.

Is Tucker a good location to move to in order to pursue acting? It's affordable, and I'd have roommates to split rent, but it's about 25 minutes from Central Atlanta. Is that too far?

So I've come to terms that I want to pursue a career in acting, but I'm going to college majoring in a major that I truly want to major in, which is animation.

I’m bored and just wanted to type the story of how I fell in love with acting. So initially I’ve always wanted to be famous. Ever since I was young and in my early teens (I’m 18 now), I’ve always dreamt of being on the red carpet and just have fame. Yeah it sounds dumb but I did. In high school tho the desire of being…

Hey Everyone! I've been enjoying learning about how to start acting in this sub; I was in the Air Force and was wondering if anyone else here had been successful in pursuing acting after a stint in the military?

I hope this helps people. AC is clearly making a lot of money from these online workshops because of the pandemic. Actors have no other way to really meet CD's than to pay for services like this, especially now. **Acting on Zoom sucks.** The screen changing back and forth between the speakers is distracting and there s…

So I’m an actress, but narrating my audiobooks is how I pay my bills right now. But lately, most of the audiobooks I’m booking are either erotica or have sexual content. I use a pseudonym soy name isn’t associated with the titles, but is it still possible that it could hurt my career?

Hi. I'm someone who does have an interest in voice acting and wants to get into it, but I have no idea how to improve skill/get experience etc. I want to ask how you all managed to get started and ground yourself in voice acting, and even some tips in how to develop as a voice actor.

Anyone here have recent experience with San Francisco’s ACT American Conservatory Theatre?

I’m an actor who is launching a product-based business. I have a few ideas for online ads and think it would be really fun to play one of the characters myself, however, I’m not sure if this would be seen as taboo… or be a conflict in some way. What is the general consensus amongst the community? Is there one?

Acting is fundamentally recreating human interactions and dynamics under imaginary circumstances. So it makes sense then that you’d need a constant source of social interaction to even be able to compete with other actors. Most actors I see are WIDELY liked by everyone around them. They travel the world, they have HUGE…

I've been background acting for the last few months (in Los Angeles), and ended up landing a pretty sweet recurring gig.
