I typically perform in three or four different shows a year, each of them running four performances.

Please bear with the long post. I am a writer. I've been in one form of writing or the other for the past 8 years now, be it advertising or currently, film-making. But an epiphany hit me about 5 years ago, which I've just been trying to avoid for so long: Acting is a life-skill. And I don't have it. No, I am not being…

I recently saw on social media that a huge TV show was filming in my area. I realized that I was actually asked by a casting agency if I was available to work on this show (I only realized after seeing the post) but decided not to do it because it was background work and I'm not sure if I can gain anything further from…

There are a lot of podcasts out there, but none of them are really geared towards highlighting the rising stars who are grinding their way to the top. That's what my podcast "Slate Your Name" does, by interviewing aspiring actors and musicians, while working in interviews with professionals working in the field. Check…

Hello! I've gotten a role for my first play ever. It's at my school, so it's not the most professional. I'm not super picky with roles. There was one role I really wanted. We'll call this role S. S was a main role. She was smart and funny. One of my friends wanted to smaller roles, F and T. It turns out that I got F an…

Hey everyone! I hope you are well. I have always dreamed of being a voice actor. Unfortunately, to dream is one thing. To have the talent for it, is another totally different story. I have the advantage of speaking several languages and having varied demos, studio-recorded. Would anyone be so kind as to check their qua…

Hello my fellow actors. I am posting this from a bit of a vulnerable place, so I am hoping to get some empathetic responses. I am playing a lead in a play right now who is dying. It’s a dark comedy, emphasis on the dark. The death happens onstage in a non-sensationalized, un-cliche way, but the build up is intense (lot…

I’ve asked to meet with him and he said he’s “too busy right now”- makes sense, it is pilot season, but he did have time to sit and chat for an hour with myself and a friend of mine who is also on his roster but is in another league (multiple series regulars on her resume). I wouldn’t be too concerned about this, excep…

So we've looked around and around some more and haven't quite found anyone who's doing what we're doing, and we're posting here to see if we can connect with likeminded individuals!

I’ve been accepted into both courses. I do believe I would have more fun doing the MT course but I want to be taken seriously as an actress. I’ve heard a lot of MT student complain that they haven’t been taken as seriously as people who took the acting course. After my 2 year course, I would be going to a drama school…

I'm a 6'6" 42 year old guy. My playing age is a lot younger (no kids, don't go in the sun!). But I've 'lost' a few roles cause I'm too tall. Can other tall actors tell me that it gets better :) Just having a down day. I'll be fine tomorrow, bit would love to know I'm not alone.

I’m sure most of you want to focus on your own work and don’t to think about Leonardo DiCaprio, but I need an actor’s mindset on this so please humour me briefly.

I was wondering if some of the older actors here could say how their first year in the business went. And I mean the first year you decided to act even if you had another career.

As I write, I find myself bolding things for emphasis. It just now occurs to me that you probably would do a better job interpreting the work on your own. What do you think?

I have the daily breakdowns of what’s casting in NY/LA. This is the breakdowns that agents and managers see. It’s looks like actors access.. but the good stuff that we can’t see.

By that I mean, is there some quality that separates those who "make it" and those who never quite get there? From the actors I've all worked with so far, it actually seems like they're all similarly driven by a love of the craft, with those in higher-up positions just being a bit more "chill" about working, I'd say.
