Hey, Just wondering if anyone in here has done Pilot Season in LA or know someone who has? Can you explain how it works? Especially for someone who doesn't actually live in LA (I'm English and live in London). I can't seem to find that much about it online, and most of my actor friends (the ones im close with anyway) h…

I'm passionate about becoming an actor. However, I'm a 2 hours drive from London (the only major city near me). I feel like being British in another country would make me stand out more with potential applications. I was wondering if others had experience with this?

I am in the Toronto area and looking to sign up with a background actor casting agency. I have an agent for commercial/film/TV productions but I would also like to get back to working as an extra and his focus is not on BG. Any suggestions from background actors in the Toronto area? Or do you recommend applying myself…

I'm only interested in classes that are set up like a set and constantly have you on camera, providing you with your footage at the end of the class. I'm an experienced actor and most interested in finding a teacher that will help me to market myself, make my reel as best as it can be, find my ideal branding includ…

A friend who is a working actor says she has regularly seen his clients on the casting sheet so im curious. Wondering id after the bad press he has changed his tactics

What are your thoughts with signing with a big agency vs boutique agency? Big roster vs small roster? Established agent vs new agent? I’ve heard all sides of the argument (big agency has big name, boutique has more drive, big roster means agent connections, small roster means more focus on you and your career, establis…

I’m a singer, primarily opera and musical theatre. I’ve done some plays, mostly Shakespeare comedies, but those were about 15 years ago.

Hey everyone! So I've wanted to become a voice actor for some time, and wanting to hopefully make it to be professionally suited for it.

I’m currently working on a new movie script, which involves an up and coming actor getting a huge part in an upcoming big budget movie.

Ever since I was little I have known that acting is my true passion. I will do whatever it takes to make it in the world of cinematography as an actor. My question is: Where should I study acting?

TL;DR - I created a podcast about voice actors and their stories. It's paid. I think we all have our stories to share and learn a thing or two. I'd love to have you on the show. Link below.

This is just for my pure curiosity. I stumbled upon the wiki page of Emma Mackey, the girl that plays Maeve in Sex Education.

Greetings, aspiring voice actors! I see a lot of questions on subs like this asking about beginner mic setups, which typically involve something USB. While USB mics have come a long way, the reality is you will instantly lose a lot of credibility with one. XLR is what you want. Not only do they produce a more authentic…

The only thing he mainly asks for is a recent headshot, reel (or acting video), union status, ra…

I recently got an Eco Cast audition request for an ULB film on AA. Due to some extenuating circumstances I don't think I'll be able to submit a tape, but I'm wary on declining if my manager will see that I turned it down. I don't want her to think I'll make that a habit for stuff she submits me for.

I was introduced to acting through monologues and Shakespeare, not particularly using any technique. However, I know that I "self-direct" and heavily rehearse my lines and emotional beats so that each performance is basically like the last.
