This might sound like a stupid question, but how can you be sure you like it before spending a lot of money or time? I've recently acquired an interest in acting, mostly from a tv show (community) I'm particularly fond of, in which The characters and the actors are really inspiring and amazing at what they do. That got…

My roommate became a reader on WeAudition to primarily learn and practice and I also had a stint on the platform but couldn't stand not being paid for my time. I understand actors are some of the poorest people so tips aren't expected but if someone is meeting with you and going over multiple scenes for at least 30 min…

Hi I’m a 19 year old non binary actor. I’ve been given advice that I would be more marketable presenting fem. I don’t mind this. Usually present more Masc on my free time and just get fem for set/ headshots. Anyway to do this I’ve grown out my hair. My hair is about shoulder length now no layers. I used to have an unde…

I see lots of different ones but the ones that stand out to me are normally the happier, warmer stuff as I feel too many actors try to showcase drama but it comes across as same old same old and too grumpy.

I've heard many times that the more an actor tries to consciously access his emotions, the further they will run away, becoming unreachable. I've heard that it's hard for any actor to access their emotions, but I think it's even harder for the more intellectual, cerebral actor (such as myself). And sometimes, emotional…

31 male actor here from UK. I’ve tried so many different approaches over the last year to maybe get more of a response to anything but I’m getting nothing at all.

Hi again! I just posted a couple days ago about film vs theater transitioning and the difference in prep/style, and I appreciate everyone's responses.

I'm developing a video game in my spare time and couldn't dream of hiring proper VO actors for all of the dialogue since I'm usually broke.

Hi all. While i respect actors who do sex/nudity scenes and dont think they should be dehumanized or get any hate/negativity for it, ive decided throughout my acting journey intimate scenes is something i wont be doing.

Hello! I've learned a lot about the history of American Acting method in school, from Stanislavsky to Boleslavsky at the American Lab, to Strasberg and the Group Theater, the split and the rise of Adler and Meisner and Uta Hagen, and many others. Do the British Drama Schools teach from a similar lineage? I understand t…

Awhile back I established a connection with an indie horror director through social media. Earlier today he sends me a short script, intending for me to play the lead. I read it, and found it pretty damn tasteless. I'd be playing an evil preacher who rapes a girl, stabs her baby to death and eats it. Now, I'm open to d…

This might be a stupid question, but here it goes.
