Hello, I am doing a little research on survival jobs, but I would hope that it is not in the traditional sense. Therefore, I am hoping this warrants a post. It is not new, but the rise in remote work seems to be overlooked in the acting industry especially with the COVID crisis, which could change a lot of things... It…

32/F. When I'm watching a movie or TV show, I can't help but think about how capable I am of playing these characters as an actress. It's taken away from being able to enjoy watching things because I'm so pre-occupied with hating myself for never truly pursuing acting. My mental health has been a huge factor that's hel…

Would short skits on YouTube of yourself be considered as "experience"? I am having a hard time deciding where to properly start a (possible) career as an actress and figured that perhaps recording and uploading some skits to YouTube could maybe be a good start. ​ The "short-term" end goal would be to list these…

I’m reading an audiobook that’s a biography of a mid-century southern author. The biographer is white and the biography includes several quotes with the n word in them. Every chapter seems to have at least one quite like that. I’m white and that’s not my word. Reading those quotes really sucks. I’m not playing a charac…

Hello fellow actors! I was curious if anyone who actually paid for talent link successfully got an agent and/or manager from it? I'm considering paying for it but wanted to see if anyone at all actually got something from it, or if it's more or less just a bonus way for actor's access to make a few more bucks.

I'm sure many of you follow famous voice actors on Twitter. If you haven't noticed (and not just lately), most VAs are overwhelmingly liberal. I'm not here to say being liberal is bad, at all. I'm here to ask: is being an outspoken liberal a requirement to be a successful VA in LA/Hollywood? What if a VA says something…

Hi all, I've finished my first year at Edinburgh University, and just received an offer for Italia Conti's BA Acting course, and while I'm absolutely thrilled about gaining a place, I'm a bit concerned about its reputation.

I'm torn between majoring in theatre and majoring in something that will get me a job right out of college. When I use to tech for shows in high school , a lot of the actors were in college for something else or working in another field but acting part time. Do you think it would make more sense working 7-3p M-F and do…

My country is tiny and we have a grand total of three places with acting or theatre related degrees.

I'm not a voice actor but I figured you guys may be able to share some insight for this. I hate my own voice, like most do.

What are the hallmarks of a good acting reel? What is the best length? Do casting directors and producers care about the editing? Also, as another question to actors who have action reels - do you guys have a separate action reel and an acting reel? Or do you keep them together?

Hey Everyone! I recently read the conditions on how to apply for an O1 visa grant and it seems impossible – just the sheer amount of media, awards, and credits you have to have under your belt makes it seem so out of reach for any actors who are not "famous".
