Hello there, I’m a 28 year old actor who’s still somewhat new to the trade. I’ve made a lot of progress lately and am going to start the process of student films to indie projects and see where I go from there. But my biggest weakness and insecurity is I can not do accents. I can’t jokingly do a southern accent, or Bri…

I've taken courses with the Hideout for improv, but I'm a bit wary of some of the other schools here after interviewing for positions with a few. Where are y'all taking your acting courses? Any reccos for private coaching are also more than welcome.

Hello Reddit, I am currently in the middle of a dilemma. I am 19 years old and my whole life I have dreamt of being an actor.

So I've been working BG on a currently filming TV show. I'm keeping it somewhat vague to cover my ass a bit, but it's for a major cable network, with an Oscar winning lead actress.

How does acting-training affect your ability to be strong socially, like at a cocktail-party or in other social scenarios? What about "comedic timing?" Does that make you funnier? What is it like to date an actor? Is that a challenging experience since they can fake any emotion and emotionally manipulate you? What is i…

Let's assume the stereotype to be true. In that case, why are actors that way? Someone said to me: >you know the whole ‘stereotype’ about actors being fun people yet depressed deep inside? That’s usually true. Be sure to check up on your [actor] pals from time to time.

# Introduction Memorizing lines is an important part of the actor's craft. Many of us know the struggle of being "on book" during rehearsal. Once we're "off book", it allows more opportunity for an increased sense of creativity, playfulness, and awareness that comes from not having to struggle to remember our lines. It…

I'm a 13 year old boy that loves acting and I've been doing it since I was 8.

I have gotten to a point where I think I could d…

Sorry if the title may sound confusing, but what I'm trying to get at is; most actors rehearse for weeks and sometimes even months for a play, so once they get on stage they know all their blockings and lines word for word. But for film, wouldn't it be a smarter approach to maybe only memorize your lines and have an un…
