**Ok first off,** *"Sleepover" is a series that I've been posting on my Instagram in order to have an ongoing story for my followers to read.* Originally, they were a string of still comics which sort of made the story move a bit slow. So, then I transferred over to video with a comic like feel to it. But, now I want t…

Is there such thing as a form to give the director or production that basically says as the actor I have the right to not perform in said thing if it makes me uncomfortable (types of kissing / nudity ) & that I will need to receive the completed film or my scenes no more than a year for the film date. I’m tired of not…

Hey folks, so I'm not a voice actor per-se, I mostly just do voices for running roleplaying games, but I was curious if anyone had tips for practising roaring, shouting, and screaming? (mostly for voicing dramatic moments / monsters, not to yell at my players haha) I'm a very quiet person and instinctively whisper-shou…

Hi everyone! I recently moved to NYC, and I realized during my unemployment phase that I HATE being a lawyer. I room with someone in film who also does improv on the side, and I see how the arts relieves her worries away. I have always been interested in the arts. Luckily, I was blessed with Asian parents who put me th…

Meaning, did you find roomates ahead of time, did you stay with family, what areas did you look into (The Valley, Silver Lake, Burbank)? Basically, I can never really find any good advice on the actual logistics behind moving to L.A. from somewhere else (New York, Chicago, Houston, etc.). I just want to know what the s…

I'm a young (early 20s) actress getting started in acting with indie film. Don't get me wrong, I'm finding good projects and booking things, I'm just really frustrated because it feels like > 50% of the roles I qualify for involve some kind of nudity, full or at least topless. I'll so often read a project plot summary…

Hi, I had plans to move to LA, but I’m thinking that I’d rather be in NYC. Part of it is to be closer to my parents who are getting older and having more health problems. Also, I just think NYC is more my vibe and driving in big cities (like I’ll have to do in LA) gives me INSANE anxiety. I like theater and will do the…

I'm a non union actress primarily working in theatre. I have recently branched out to commercials and recently booked a union job through a casting agency.

I don't mean to exaggerate but I feel that even B movie actors have more freedom and integrity. You see, the biggest tradeoff is your identity.

No, I’m not mistakenly using a double negative in the title above. It’s just that I recently happened upon a video on YouTube made by an ex-casting director who now teaches actors. She said something that made me shudder. She was telling actors to go in there and be brave enough to “Do Nothing”. These must be the words…

Hi all, I'm very, very new to the discipline of acting and I thought a good place to start would be to Google the techniques that some of my favourite actors use - however, as I'm sure everyone else here appreciates much more than me, outside of strictly method actors no one really seems to mention the school of practi…

Pay per day TBD depending on talent's personal draw. Performers without a significant nationwide following should expect to fall in lower range. Making your casting decision based on how many followers an actor has is downright stupid, and also discriminatory. Because if you are relying on that for your financing or di…

Okay. So. I’ll put a TL;DR down there. I started acting when I was 8, in local community theater.

So I started taking classes year round at an acting school connec…
