I would want my asmr stuff to be skits as well so it would tie into acting greatly but I am scared it may hurt my chances of booking something big.

Is it worth it putting your featured bg work on imdb if you are uncredited? Even if your character had a name for that role? I see a lot of people do it and even some famous actors like Scott Wolf as well! What are your thoughts on it?

I have my first professional callback for a play and I'm wondering about this. The period is mid 20th century. They have not specifically asked actors to dress up for the callbacks.

A common struggle I hear from actors is how they have a hard time connecting with their character and then they end up getting stuck in their head.

I've been seeing an ongoing uptick on this sub that in a business that now relies mostly on remote auditions, actors can live wherever they want and still present themselves as local hires.
