I had a conversation with someone who held the belief that porn/sex work/onlyfans and the sex workers who partake in this type of work are comparable to acting and the actors who partake in playing out explicit scenes. They held the belief that at the end of the day it's just business. They were surprised when I said I…

It’s a small speaking roll but I’m so happy to see my IMDb page and the words actress right underneath it. I’ve never acted so I just got lucky to get offered the role my very first time auditioning. I know I may sound lame but from someone so crippled by anxiety, this was a huge step for me. It gives me a little more…

I auditioned for a new tv show pilot through Actors Access and a few days later I checked the casting breakdown page and it was updated and it had “SELECTS” right next to my name. Does anyone know what that means?

Last week, I posted about how I got to audition for my first role in a feature. I was offered a role yesterday. It's not the part I read for, but it's a role with dialog and name credit. Plus some cool CGI moments. It took me 10 years to get here, but it's finally happening. Thanks for all your well wishes in my previo…

I have worked with professional actors as well as non actors in several short films and music videos as a director, and this is the first time I am making a feature. I’m also going to be casting actors, and I have not been a part of many auditions prior to this. I have mainly come in contact with the people I wanted to…

I’m looking for a few 10 minute scenes from contemporary plays (post 2000) that would be interesting to work on for 2-3 actors. Gender doesn’t matter and we are all about 20 years old but could play up to mid 30s and nothing younger than 14/15.

We’ve all must’ve seen by now, the videos of AI recreating voices with tremendous efficiency, from Obama and Trump playing video games together, to Kanye singing Bieber’s songs. My question is, as this technology is relatively new yet still showcases amazing potential, do you think that within 10 years time, studios wi…

If you’ve uploaded “clips” to AA vs. your entire reel, what have you found is the best number of clips to include with your submissions to roles? I really struggle with figuring this out. Pros of sending fewer: you can be more targeted in which ones you send (if possible) and, therefore, they are more likely to see the…

I saw a casting director say on instagram that they liked the idea of listing the commercial directors that you've worked with on an acting resume rather than just putting "conflicts available upon request". This really intrigued me because I have a lot of commercial acting experience and virtually no theatrical experi…

Are they able to just forward one, or if I submit two will they be stuck sending both to casting? I did it in two very different ways and one could either be really good or terrible lol

I’m pivoting from 10+ years of full-time YouTubing to wanting to become an actor. With YouTube you can pretty much do it from anywhere, so I decided to stay in a smaller cheaper city.

I’m very interested in getting into voice acting, I’ve already read Dee Bradley Baker’s “I want to be a voice actor”, and now I’m considering my next move in terms of education. From what I’ve looked into, Joe Zieja’s voice acting academy seems to be the perfect place, the only problem being the price. It’s pretty expe…

I can’t give too many details but I need to tell someone about this.

I saw on a different thread that many agents have agent only profiles and that when some actors let their personal profiles expire because they already had excellent pics and reels set up, it was still fine because their agents just submitted them through their agent profile. Is that possible only with Casting Networks…

I recently discovered some information about actor representation and management in the United States and Canada. Established actors in the United States typically have both an agent, who secures auditions for them and charges a 10% commission, and a manager, who is in charge of managing their overall career who charge…

For example think of films directed by Luca Guadagnino, Wes Anderson, Robert Eggers, Christopher Nolan, Greta Gerwig... Does it have to be done through an agent? Or is there a way for the actor to get an audition by themselves?

It was recently announced that Glenn Powell will lead the new Twister film. I know a few people who auditioned for the role and spent a lot of time and money on their self-tapes.

Hey everyone, I used to work at a call center job where just about everyone would come up to me and tell me I should be a voice actor.

I noticed a lot of open calls that don't have sides and just require the actor to speak about their past experiences, sometimes going as far as asking the actor to recount trauma. I fail to see how asking these questions helps casting offices choose their actor? I get that they want non-actors to feel they can approach…

Thank you to everyone who gave me advice on nursing my voice and helping me out while I was sick. My voice is feeling much better (as am I). I was able to get an audition done for an indie game. My first character demo had to take a backseat, but it’s still in the works! Appreciate you all!
