As an actor I can’t see all the breakdowns on Actors Access. Do agents and managers get equal access to those costar breakdowns or does being repped by an agent have an advantage? Follow up questions: Do you feel like you get equal satisfaction from your agent/manager? Would you have chosen to get one before the other…

Because of combinations of Covid-19 and its direct changes, depression, and uncertainty in life, I haven't felt motivated as an actor.

I’ll keep this short; I’m genuinely just curious. I have a two part question. 1. Are websites a must for actors? 2. Do casting directors prefer high quality websites from Wordpress or wix or would it be fine to use a free google website (the url is super long)? Does the url matter? Thanks.

Hi! I (17f) absolutely adore acting. Seriously, nothing else has made me feel this way for a long time.

For context, I'm a 20 y/o college student. The way I got into acting is kinda strange, I'd act out scenes from books/films when I was 11 and self-taped myself to practice until I was about 13, and exchanged feedback with my friends who were also into acting. In high school, I participated in basically all of the plays/…
