I’ve been doing some soul searching lately and trying to decide if acting is something I can continue to pursue as a career. I haven’t booked in a year. I haven’t even had a callback this year, and I’ve been getting less than stellar feedback at auditions. I’m just so confused, I’m training, I usually get private coach…

Do they tell all the actors who get a callback at once? Or do they do it one at a time as they see each person. Not sure if that makes sense or not

My example is from an acting class, but I think this is a situation likely to happen on set with a director. I’ve had an experience where I interpreted that my character was making justified accusations and denouncing the other character. But my acting teacher said that my character actually had no idea what they were…

Would a Production Assistant be a good survival job for an aspiring actor? I know it’s probably not a flexible job, but my thought is that it would help me learn about the process/what it’s like being on set, and there’s always the perk of being able to make industry connections. The thing I’m the most worried about is…

I am looking through actors access and would love to take a shot at any role whatsoever.

Ok so I’m wondering if this thought process could hold me back as an actor or help me out in the long run.
