Boy, do I have a story for you. Recently I (attempted) to audition for TAPnyc, and...well let's just say it didn't go well. First of all, at the beginning of the audition they had two people who work for/got agents from TAPNyc talk about why the company is so great, which is fine and all. They spoke about being a commu…

I figured that a side effect of constantly memorizing lines, is that actors become good at talking in general. Since they have learned many words, many ways to convey stuff, etc. anyone can confirm ? thanks.

I've met people who blamed POC for their lack of jobs, or people telling rookie actors to give up on their dreams to become an actor just for the sake of making them give up. How could someone be like this? And is this kind of person common in the industry? Do you guys have a bad experiences with these folks?
