For motivation when I get back to do my first SAG Agent signing. Anyone got any ideas? I'll have one extra day. The paramount studios tour I got is VIP so it'll be like half a day.

I went for an audition and was lucky enough to meet a casting director kind enough to talk to me for a bit. What he told me was that he sees me getting more of specific restricted roles like a nerd or a pastor. He said I should practice on being good at that as most casting directors will only want me for those kind of…

I am a Non-Union actor hoping to get seen at an upcoming Equity Principal Audition, but the audition is taking place at Atlantic's Studio in Chelsea. Has anyone ever gone to an EPA (either as union or n/u)?? I'm certain it will run smoothly, but being a planner I like to know what to expect.

I’m an aspiring actress in NYC, and was wondering if there’s a better way to go about finding a photographer than through Google or Craigslist.

I need help with my mic, I am a beginner voice actor and instead of my voice being clear, crisp and its sounds like the character is actually saying words.

My biggest fear is (drumroll) the fakeness. Yes you get that everywhere and in all businesses but admit it for us it's a particular brand. How did you make the move/transition?

Hey guys. I've been acting for a little over a year and am self taught. I finally did enough student films to make a reel and submitted it to #showreelshareday over on Twitter.

I recently scheduled an audition to be a touring children's theater actor. It tours around elementary schools in my city (or at least close to it). I'm starting to like the idea of it, because for 9 whole months, I'll be an employed actor. My dream has always been to be a regularly employed actor, so it just makes sens…

Hello! Not into acting here, but today I watched a youtube video making fun of Keanu Reeves having the same expression no matter what and it got me thinking about facial expressions.

Without going into too much of my history, I see myself as an actor. It honestly feels like I don’t want to do anything else.

While it’s good that there’s a lot of work for up-and-coming actors, it’s not quality work. The acting in many of these new shows and movies is terrible. No one is training like they used to.
