Hello, I am a new actor with a question regarding reels. I want to apply to audition to roles but I do not have a demo reel and don't know how to go about creating one. Do you just film yourself acting or preforming a monologue? Or do you find a class that produces one by the end of it. What are some other methods of p…

What are the best agencies in Chicago for 18 TPY actors? I get decent auditions (series regular, lead, strong supporting) through self-submissions but I feel like people who book these roles are always repped. Chicago is the closest market to where I live, I’m not local but it’s closer than anything else. I’m obviously…

(Sorry for the length of this, but there's a lot to cover.) As I'm sure some of you are aware, there was a bit of a to-do recently with a former member of our community doing both good and not-so-good things in this subreddit. On one hand, they were rightly alerting the community and the mods with regards to a pretty q…

This might be a dumb question, but this doubt has been on my mind for a while now. To clarify, my goal isn't being bulky, just well toned. But for me being an actress is more important than that, I can just keep my fit journey without building muscle, but I don't know if it's necessary for me to stop building muscle, w…

Lately, there's been commentary here about classes with people who are beginners or are not good at acting. I've also been in classes over the years where I've seen instances of -- and have been subject to -- fellow students lashing out at their fellow actors with the same sort of commentary. It seems that many don't u…

I am a white man in my 20's, good looking, and a good actor. those things I'm confident in. I'm signed to a good agent, however, after 11 auditions, I haven't had a single callback yet.

I know this sounds stupid but sometimes I feel like I don’t have the right ‘look’ to be an actress, I have spots, acne scars, slightly crooked teeth, not to mention I have horrible separation anxiety from my parents, sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever be able to be an actor if I can’t even stay home alone

Everytime I'm on set with people, or in an acting class, I see friendships being created, that I'm never a part of. Plus, several times I've seen actors I've worked with mask their instagram story from me. My point is, I feel lonely in this business, plus it's hard to have a network when nobody wants me to be their fri…

My non-actor cousin asked me if it was possible to have a career in acting for longer than 30 years (don't ask me why she picked 30). I think she asked because she knows I want to be an actor but she's not that supportive so she asked me that in her attempt to put me down, I don't get why. Instead of letting her get to…

So I hear smiling in headshots is mainly reserved for commercial, but naturally I’m a happy, fun, and comedic actor but can play serious. My main head shot is currently a teeth smile because I feel it represents me the best, is this a good idea or should I stick to the dead pan down the camera for main ?

AI is coming. Eleven Labs is killing the game when it comes to human sounding AI voices, and considering how a couple of years ago the level of quality we have now was unheard of, I don't think it's unreasonable to say that they're only going to be getting better. Fast. I don't think that this is really a debate anymor…

I haven't been an actor very long. I'm currently SAG-E, but haven't yet joined, mostly because of the cost.
