Pretty much the title. Which one would actors who started out with very little connections consider the best? I have had a sub in backstage and gotten a couple things off that but have hit a bit of a wall considering that they are not a ton of projects in there. For reference, I am a white female minor in the Chicagola…

I read an old essay years ago and it randomly came popped into my head today. Laurette Taylor , one of the great stage actors of the early 1900s, most famous for originating Amanda Wingfield in The Glass Menagerie had a simple theory for great acting: watch a kid making mud pies. They're not performing for anybody, the…

I’ve been acting about a year and an extra for about 8 months. And I loved being an extra at first for the experience and I have always felt lucky with the roles I got as they were always featured roles/walk ons, but lately it hasn’t felt worth it. I recently did a non dialogue featured role for a huge network tv show,…

I’m in my early 20s and I’m an LGBT guy, a former cosplayer. I was the victim of grooming and manipulation by a predator.

Hey community, here with another question today. So, one of my short-term goals is to secure reps. However, what I am wondering is: how do I know if/when I am really ready for reps?

Hi! Recently i've been thinking of posting on TikTok and Instagram. Videos like skits, relatable content type stuff, and random videos.

I’m an actor, it’s all I’ve done and I’m good at it. But now the only jobs around me are internet tiktok style commercials. They have no direction at all, the scripts are AI generated, and they already have a video of someone else doing it from a video they stole so there’s no actual acting going on. They just want me…

So I am sure we are all aware of how things have changed in the industry. By that I mean L.A. is kind of no longer a requirement for actors to go to to be successful. With that said, do you think location can affect an actors success?
