Was anyone trained as a stage actor and decided to start screen acting? I want to expand what i can do but i've only been trained for stage so i need to learn how to act for a camera and i wouldn't even know how to get into screen acting (uk if that changes anything) Does anyone have any ideas of where to start?

25F, I never had any formal education, but I have been consistently taking acting classes for past 2.5 years. However, I feel like there's still so much to learn and I don't feel like an actress and don't feel like I am ready to go out and start acting. On the other hand, I understand that to be an actress, I just need…

Hi guys, I am curious, are the cigarettes in movie productions actually real ones? I mean what if the actor is a non-smoker and don't wanna smoke because of health issues? Are there fake-cigerettes for this? Best regards

I just browsed the subreddit thoroughly and I noticed a lot of aspiring actors seemed to wonder about how certain actors/actresses got their "overnight success" like Gal Gadot, Will Smith or Katherine Langford, seemingly happy to disregard the fact that most of them have OTHER TALENTS, and that they've made it BIG in t…

I hope this is acceptable here. I’m writing a book about an actress, and I just think it’d be really helpful to hear from some of you to really wrap my head around some of the issues the character is going to encounter. Long story short, she is a struggling actress on the verge of “aging out” of consideration as a star…

Hey guys! Do you think that having a large YouTube channel (500k subscribers +) would negatively effect your chances of making it big in Hollywood? The reason I think it might is because you might start to get type cast because of your internet persona. Also another reason is because i can not think of one actor that h…

Hey Guys! I heard on an episode of Audrey Helps Actors podcast that there is a place where pilot scripts might be available to view...something along the lines of ShowFx? Anyway, I was wondering if there's anything remotely similar to that website at all. Thanks for the help!

Recently, I asked for a talent submission report. I noticed that she submitted me for a lot of small actor roles, but I wasn't called in for those parts. I notice that the only roles I get called in far are the ones where I fit the ethnicity or if I have a special skill that's needed. The parts where it's open ethnicit…

Do i need to have social media? Like instagram twitter etc..? I despise social media. Im a good looking guy dont get me wrong, and camera loves me but i hate the whole concept about it. I know before actors didnt need social media, for example Robert Pattinson never had any social media. So is it a necessity today?

When people say he stays in character that must just mean he stays in costume and the accent no? From an actors perspective I can understand that. But there’s no way he acts like an asshole to everyone. From a non actor’s perspective it would seem very mythical and difficult which I suppose he uses to his advantage.

I can’t believe she has the same award as James Gandolfini, Viola Davis, or Brian Cranston to name a few. Her acting makes me cringe so much. Part of it reminds me of the melodramatic Latino soap operas I grew up with and has remnants of Disney melodrama. She just needs to tone it down and master subtle nuances maybe?…
