I’ve found Meisner and Strasberg to be the most effective. I do like Stanislavsky and chubbuck But I’ve found I’m more of an impulsive actor. I like to go on impulse in the moment and use my inner dialogue, but I feel when it comes to characters sometimes I just need that extra work. I will do the script work and work…

I’m a mid 20’s male actor and I’ve received feedback from a director that he can see I have walls put up. He asked me to dig deep into my emotions and get out of my head.

I'm thinking of applying to Julliard but I am not sure if I will have the opportunity to work as an actor in USA after I graduate. (I am from country Georgia, not the state!).

So apparently you can only get an equity card if you're American, international actors can't get their equity card unless they have a green card. But there are Broadway performers who are internationals and don't have a green card, does anyone have an idea on how they were able to get their equity card without being Am…

What's going on everyone! I'm a professional voice actor out of NYC and as you all know the pandemic has hit the area here fairly hard.

it's just the more years I waste, and yes it feels like a waste at this point since I seemingly have no control over it, chasing this, the more I realize how absolutely fucking horrible the odds are of any of this.

I've wanted to be a voice actor for awhile now but the only thing going for me is my interest to do so. I have no experiences, no resources, no connections, no money for training. So seeing as most of you probably started with nothing, like me, how did you guys start your voice acting career?

With things opening back up prematurely, it is important to know that any live auditions you take are YOUR CHOICE and yours alone . The government does not get to decide when it is “safe” - you do.

I've noticed actors onscreen often shift their focus quickly from eye-to-eye while up close talking to someone. Almost like an intense staring match. I dunno about others, but I don't think I've ever seen people do this in real life. Is this a common acting technique, or just a coincidence?
