The long road to working with one of my idols. It didn’t happen overnight. Years of training, learning, getting knocked around, getting back up and constantly trying to improve. Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of training with some seriously talented martial artists, including Eskinder, and Wei Wei (AKA Zac Wang)…

Hello fellow actors, I recently moved to LA from NYC. I’m looking for fellow actors to meet up with, chat, learn, and practice. (I’ve been out of this game for nearly 10yrs). I’m staying near Venice Beach but have a car and can travel. It feels slightly weird to put out the feelers on Reddit since it’s soooo anonymous…

I am a sucker for a good inspiring video. So I thought I would share the video below. But I also wanted to ask, what is a risk you took that worked out in your favor and how did it help you move further in your career? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twNlMarsD1U

Did you know beforehand that the movie/show you were playing in would be great? Was there other times when you were like half through production and then said ah, now its going to be bad? For example maybe it started out great, season 1 was great, and then you start filming season 2 and you know its going downhill?

Hi guys! I’ve been acting for about a year and a half. I’ve done regular audition and scene study classes trying to better my skills.

Hello! I am NephiamArt, a 2D artist, and from time to time I animate short things that are... maybe a minute long max. They often involve one to three lines, sometimes some grunts or moans?

I recently submitted for this role in a huge show (I can only assume as a joke, considering I don’t exactly fit the height or age requirements), and I actually got invited to send a prescreen.

Why do some actors use improve as a safe space to ridicule others? When I was in school, about 16 years old, I had a terrible fear of public speaking. I also wanted to be a writer and I thought taking an acting class would help me overcome my fear and also be a better writer. I hated every second of it but I did a midd…
