To clarify, I know it is still an extremely difficult and competitive field, but I'm curious if in 2022 with so much television being released its becoming less saturated? Even Slighlty? Or is there just as many actors coming in to fill these roles as ever?

As I progressively continue to add credits to my resume on Actors Access, I’m just wondering how accessible the resume actually is. When submitted for projects on AA, do casting directors automatically see our resumes along with headshots and clips? Or is that something that they have to actively search for?

Hey! I'm a high school rising senior and looking to double major in Theater/Acting and something else in college. I have a few questions for you guys to help me narrow down my college search. 1.

Okay... I am nowhere "new" to acting. I've done some films, commercials, TV, and voice-over. Nothing major mostly featured and local aired, alongside award-winning theater performances. Enough to have signed me with two Detroit agencies over the years. However... those agencies both become dross, or basically lame. Aud…

Obviously not from the CD, I know they don't respond unless its that they want you- but how can I get feedback on my auditions? I know I shouldnt post them here since that probably violates actors access rules right

Hey! The title basically says it all. Since I was a kid, I wanted to be an actress. Nobody in the family supported that idea, cause well, I have no connections, can't act (they said that even though they have never seen me act and it's a skill that can be improved), and I'm not pretty enough, especially my nose. I've n…

How do other trans actors deal with a resume possibly being reflective of roles of your gender pre-transition? Do you just own them and answer honestly if anyone asks or do you abandon them and start completely over? Especially if your roles are older than a couple of years. In my case, I stopped acting before 2018 for…

I'm just curious how many of you send out actor postcards. If you do, do you send them to casting directors or to agents and managers too? What do you include on the card?
