I haven’t had any auditions through my agent since November and can see that I’ve been submitted for one project through Showcast in the last two weeks. Is this a normal for my circumstances? Are we just going through a slow period or should I be concerned? I’m white woman living in Sydney Australia, my agent has put m…

I’m white woman living in Sydney Australia, my agent has put my playing age as 20-26 for context. I haven’t had any auditions through my agent since November and can see that I’ve been submitted for one project through Showcast (kinda like the Australian version of Actors Access) in the last two weeks. Is this a normal…

So would it be worth it to pay the IMDb subscription if I’m an actress in Spain? Also, is there another website that is a MUST for me to have my profile up here in Europe? Thanks!

I'm so angry. I had an Eco-cast callback, recorded and edited it, went to submit it on time and AA was down. I kept checking back all day and it was still down, checked before bed and it was down. Woke up and went to submit it, and the deadline is over and there's no way to contact the director. I'm just really frustra…

I’ve recently been cast as a supporting actor in a student film. This character only has 3 lines and is only in one scene. This is no pay and it’s about 2 hours from where I live. Is there any worth in acting in this besides experience? I don’t think I’ll be able to get reel worthy material out of it and I’ve already b…

I'm not a voice actor or a VO artist. I make YouTube videos and I'm adding VO to my videos so they can be a little more engaging. I absolutely hate the sound of my voice in playback. It makes it a chore to get through editing and makes my overall video production process twice as long.

I just got admitted into the Atlantic acting school and I've been kind of on the fence about whether I should accept my place with the school because of a lot of mixed reviews I've seen on the internet.

TL:DR at the bottom I want to become an actor but I'm afraid, I'm afraid that I will forever be in poverty jealous of others achievements and not getting roles.

For the theatre apprenticeship, I plan to apply for, actors are to send in self-tape audition videos. The instructions say to make sure that my whole body can be seen throughout the entire video.

guys I have been feeling uncertain about my career lately, and so last time I saw my agent I asked him what he thought I had going for me, or what separated me from other actors.

Hey all! For the past month, every time I've uploaded a self tape to Actors Access the thumbnail turns black. This wasn't an issue for me since before a few weeks ago, and I haven't changed anything in the way I edit or upload my tapes. When I click on the thumbnail it still plays the video like normal. I was wondering…

Do you prefer to refer to yourself as an actor or actress? I usually say actor but I’ve noticed a lot of people will correct me for some reason and push the word “actress” on me.

Instead of starting with what you think the casting director is looking for and working backwards, start with your intuition and experience of the role and work from there, ignoring your perception of the casting director. Doing it this way not only helps you deliver a more original and more memorable performance, but…

I've been looking into some actors recently from Game of Thrones and noticed a lot of them have some nepotism small to large.
