Hey what's up all I have been googling around and decided why not post here. So I'm an cartoon artist and I want to start a youtube channel doing documentaries about sports/entertainment celebrities.

What’s one advice/tip you guys use on yourself that you’ve either learnt or picked up that has made you a better actor.

I know this question might sound weird, especially because voice acting is an art form that doesn’t require the actor to show their face, but I think it’s important to have a voice actor that matches the character and can understand them better. Luckily I have a lot of time to figure this out (I’m no where near the cas…

Title says the basic question: So, I self-taped for an open casting call, and submitted a first audition, alongside a headshot and CV. For the record, this was on Backstage, and I know some people have very controversial opinions about that website. But moving on, now I’m in the second round of auditions, and the casti…

Normally I would start working ASAP but I feel discouraged because… a) there’s a statement about “offer only” / “meeting only” actors (I am not at that stage) to communicate that with the CD…which indicates they will probably go with a name b) they want partial nudity for the role I’m auditioning for which I don’t feel…

I feel like Broadway is much more exclusive and as a result more competitive. It almost feels like a pedigree. I just think of the people on Broadway who have taken unending performing lessons since they were 3 from dance, to movement, voice, improvisation, the modeling and headshots, having to learn music theory. It’s…

Could someone give me a quick refresher of how casting for commercials work? I’ve done a few non union ones, but have never really truly understood the process and now that I have an agent, I’d like too. So the casting office calls you in and they audition you, then they send the audition tapes to the advertising agenc…

Is there any well known actors, who started from 28 to 30 years old, and went on to have successful film or television careers?

I think it’s so crazy how when I was self submitting on actors access I wouldn’t really get callbacks or book and now that I have an agent and go out for bigger things I do get callbacks and book work, anyone else have that?

Good day actors, I am a filmmaker from Montreal, and even though I have a few short films under my belt, I feel that working with actors is by far my greatest weakness.

Hi guys! I’m an established actor (re-occurring on a huge streaming series), and still having trouble securing good representation if you can believe that baloney.

So I'm thinking about doing a bit of a career switch and moving from film production into acting. A lot of my work that I do is in Bristol, UK and was wondering how the acting gigs are over there?

I'm a male actor in my mid-late twenties, and tomorrow I have an audition for a teenager (around 15y/o). I can pass as a teenager sometimes, depending on what I'm wearing.
