Hey everyone LA based actor here. Is it worth leaving Los Angeles to move to another market to find work? The only reason I’m in LA is to act but I’m finding the city to be very low vibration as a whole to the point where I would move if other areas are getting work. We keep hearing this myth that’s been going on for t…

I’m currently working on a monologue I have to do for my drama class. My monologue is Tuan’s part from Skin & Liars by Dennis Foon, a play about teenagers facing discrimination in 1988 Vancouver. It’s supposed to be a monologue that we choose so we can put it in our actor’s toolkit for theatre auditions. It’s a great m…

I feel like we need to have an honest conversation about how independent productions treat actors, because some of this stuff is genuinely ridiculous. **I believe actors should be paid for their work.** I don’t care if it’s an independent film, a short film, or a smaller production. Actors are putting their time, talen…

For those of you who have an agent, what makes a good agent to you? How do you know if you got a bad one?

I live in Australia, I need to be an actor, no other job feels right and yet being in Australia means there are little to no acting opportunities.

Now I am not a voice actor myself. As much as I'd love to and as much as I think I'd be alright at it. It's a decently expensive hobby and I'm still in education (unemployed) but one thing that made me curious was a specific aspect. To my knowledge you kind of get two kinds of successful VAs, ones that have a very appe…

Life has been pretty awesome lately because I booked my first SAG role in a film (I can’t disclose what it is) produced by a major studio. It’s a day player role (one day on set), I’m really excited and I’m going to set in a couple weeks. Recently, I’ve learned he’s also got his next feature greenlit and it’s being pro…

Venting 33y-o(f) here. Everyday I feel like my acting dream isn't going to go anywhere and it makes me feel more and more depressed.

I just wanted to check in and see how many auditions people are getting.

Hi - I have been wanting to add an entertainment lawyer to our team to help look over contracts and negotiate. How does one find a lawyer or reach out to them?

I often hear actors say things like: “I often book the audition when I have no time and just throw it on tape.” “I was about to quit acting, an audition came in and I didn’t care about it all and I booked it.” “I always book the audition I thought I did terrible on and didn’t really understand the story, I never book t…

Hi all - I was working on a set today where the lead actor was puffing something into their eyes to make themselves cry, sort of like a tear stick, but it looked like a small mister or blower of air.
