Hello, I've recently accepted a place on a MA Acting Course in London, England. I was very happy during the audition process as the school looked very professional and it's fairly well known. The head of MA Acting appeared very well informed and experienced and it seemed like a great place to be at. I was originally wa…

Honestly, I can. I can see myself doing tons of other things. And I'm worried all that makes them not seem as appealing as acting is my ego. Don't get me wrong, I adore acting. It's not just about my fascination with art of TV and cinema and how our understanding of the world around us is increasingly informed by it. I…

Hi every one. Do you have any advice for a non British/Non American actor to find some casting in the UK and the US ? I know that sometimes casting directors are looking outside their country, and I'm not gonna lie, the movies/tv shows in my country are rarely interesting (I'm French btw). So, do you have any advice ?…

Self-Tape groups are cool, so are rehearsal groups, but being a person that only talks about acting or being around people that only talk about it is extremely draining. Would anybody in LA like to start group meetups for Karaoke once a week or bi-weekly? Get to know each other and talk about things OTHER than acting o…

Who has the most enviable career in your eyes. For me, It would have to be Scoot McNairy. Im convinced the man can walk on water. Everything from Halt and Catch Fire to Argo, the man is poetry in action. His acting style, and career choices really make an impact on me. He is just great in everything he does. From big b…

Hey everyone. So I happen to meet Hollywood-involved people and sadly not sure when it comes to approach people. Casting directors is easy, like I got the attention of a few but mainly was for teaching. But for others... Not sure. I have seen aspiring actors 'drooling' when there is a guest name at some event and they…

Hi My Fellow Actors, I've been having this mental debate as to what should I include on my acting resume under 'training.'

So many new actors get intimidated by the process of memorizing, but the truth is that it is actually one of the easiest parts of the job, Rote memorization is the key...The crazy thing about rote memorization techniques is how effective they are in such a short period of time.

Is it worth trying to pursue this full time? I have an interest in acting however I’ve been informed that it would be better to do something where there are more opportunities as acting is a real niche and most people never make it. I am specifically interested in acting in television shows.

I grew up without cable television and as a result, I typically get pretty bored with watching TV/movies (I do enjoy watching them every once in a while, but it is by no means my go-to activity of choice).

How did you guys start your careers? I did a lot of acting in high school (4 years drama class, plus lunch time theatre, plus musicals). Do you think that is enough to start looking for agents? Just looking for a bit of guidance. Thanks!
