How's the acting scene in Texas, especially in Austin? I want to become a great actor and have been taking classes for 5 years, but I think I might have to go to Texas for a bit. I know LA and NYC have the most productions but with the whole tax incentives, will Texas become a major market soon? Also, I wonder if I sho…

I've trained in Martial arts since I was 7 or 8 years old and have been doing so for a while. While I want to be versatile I do notice actors like Jackie Chan or Jet Li has trained in some form of Wushu or performance based Martial art. I train in a variety of stuff and wouldn't lie and say I'm a pro fighter or anythin…

I think they’re both amazingly talented actresses who are SO versatile in the roles they take up. I think I will faint with joy if they ever announced a project together. Oh well, a girl can dream!

To anyone who has gotten a background acting gig in Los Angeles. I'm starting out, had a friend take pictures of me with their professional camera in front of a whiteish background. Do I really need stuff like a video of my acting or to include my social media or a comment under the roles I apply for to get accepted? W…

Hey guys, I was wondering if you have any recommendations for what to serve for food?

Hello everyone! I’m just about finished developing a short WLW (women-loving-women) film screenplay and am currently moving into the casting/production stage.

If wrong location, please advise. Have read numerous articles that state that actors don't get paid/residuals for anything other than broadcast and syndication, which made it appear that actors are getting cheated. Just read an article where Matthew McConaughey said he made a ton of money from in-flight views of an old…

Hey everyone! I’m 22F and I’ve been wanting to get into acting for some time now. Unfortunately, there are no theaters/studios that offer adult acting classes within even a 2 hour drive of me.

Hey, everybody. So I'm not a voice actor, I'm a beginner stage actor. I posted here because I feel like there are some issues with my line deliveries, not just in this particular monologue, but in general. Something always feels off, even when I just do a monologue without recording. Any feedback would be appreciated.
