For most of the past few years, i've been doing theatre. In high school, and in college, i've taken a myriad of acting classes. But no matter how many auditions I do, no matter how good, i have never ever gotten casted. I've been told many times by my teachers (who also happen to be directors, and do the majority of ca…

This is a throwaway account, but I've been hearing a lot of horror stories about this agency withholding payment from actors. Please use this thread as a place to communicate about this situation.

I’ve heard and seen a lot about it across the internet and it’s just a bunch of job postings for actors, etc. Pretty much everyone in the entertainment industry. Has anyone used it? Is it legit?

Not just limited to English VAs! All are welcome. Me personally, one Zach Aguilar. He's in a ton of stuff I'm a huge fan of (Fire Emblem, Genshin Impact, Demon Slayer, Bubble, etc.), and I always find myself watching something that has his name on it, even if it isn't my personal cup of tea (for example, Netflix's Cybe…

Basically the title. I have a non-actor friend helping me be a reader for a scene. In the scene, I scare her so she is angry at me. Should the lines be delivered in a neutral tone or actually sound angry? I want to make sure it's as professional as possible.

Hey everyone, I'm sure this Q has been asked before, which I tried to find but couldn't, so apologies for the repeat if so.

I read another post saying that LAMDA totally abandons the MFA program students, and that staff see them mostly as a cash cow because of how much international students pay for that program.

I'm from SA and here we don't have a cinema industry per se, so getting into acting beyond as hobby and experimentation is hard.

Several recent articles about The Method -- mostly in Variety -- don't seem to have a clue what Method really is. The acting we see from the likes of Jeremy Strong, Daniel Day-Lewis, and Jared Leto, for example, is certainly great, but it's not Method acting. Actors who do the Method correctly are Bradley Cooper, Al Pa…

First off, not an actor or aspiring actor. Honestly no desire to be one. This is just something that I question with the extreme ease of access to record yourself in today's world.

Why can companies get away with this?

It's a shame there isn't much information about this online. I know "best" is subjective.
