Hey! I'm a newish actor with about a year of background work (just for fun) and about 2 semesters of acting classes I'm working in Atlanta and am working towards my first speaking role. I have a few questions regarding the process of becoming an official actor as I'm still a little hazy on the whole "SAG eligibility" t…

Hey actors and creatives! 28-year-old Aussie male here. I assume this is an age-old question. I've been tossing up whether or not LA or Vancouver is right for moving for Film & TV opportunities. From what I have researched, Vancouver is just like LA for opportunities these days with a lot of US companies heading over t…

I don’t think of myself as a “voice actor” - but I am taking on more responsibilities at work, and those involve doing a LOT of voice recordings for our new video based training. FWIW, I will also be writing the copy and be responsible for the audio edits. Marketing will assemble the actual videos, as they add the musi…

Hello, I've truly wanted to act and I've written many ideas down that I plan to record throughout 2020. I wanted to ask if there was an area in which I could share these short films I will make and what areas you think are good to share clips. Also, I did get in touch with a few mentioning ActorsAccess and Backstage ar…

I'm currently in year 9 and about to go into a vocational school with a performing arts course for the next two years, and a guaranteed place at college for performing arts. I'm a decent to good actor, and i'm getting trained in dance and music on my course. The whole goal, as it were, is to get into a good drama schoo…

I went up for a role and got a call back. The CD, producers, and writer all seemed to really like me. I didn't get called in again but the CD gave me great feedback to my agents but said that they wouldn't go further with me but I'll be considered for things in the future. 2 months later they're still searching for an…

I'm an amateur screenwriter, and I'm curious about how much of a character gets taken out of my hands once I send in the script. Do you try to realize the writer's intentions, or just imagine what type of person the character is and go with it? What percent of the final character is from your imagination, and what perc…

I was cast as a supporting role in a feature film that’s based on a very popular video game, and I understand why. I fit the type for the character, and I feel that I did well in my audition. But I don’t think I should have gotten it and I can’t exactly explain why. I just feel like someone else would have been a bette…

I know there's people like "Awkwafina", "Seal", "Slash", etc. But basically my real name is an uncommon Arab name that no one ever pronounces right, "Seif Naber". It's ugly on paper, in my opinion. However, it's pronounced "Safe Neighbor". So I've been using that as a stage name for my music (hence the username) becaus…

Hey I am a beginner with no experience, but I am still at the age where if I start I won’t have any issues catching up. I have kind of always had an affinity for acting, although I thought of it as like a dream job, a job that I probably wouldn’t be able to work, but then I suddenly realized that I’m young, I can do wh…

I’m watching parks and rec and I like to imagine what they’re thinking/feeling behind the acting. Sometimes I wonder if they are sad on a certain taping day (or never sad because they’re making bank), I wonder how they feel about having a partner in the show and kissing. Since they’re are good looking or popular cast m…

I’ve always wondered how so many actors seem to be able to cry easily and didn’t think I could do it. I’m playing Candy in Mice and Men and it just happened in two scenes. The director went ape shit and now I feel like I’m under pressure to do it every time. Any advice out there?

I spoke with him today and although he is not what I would consider to be camp, he seems very hung up on the idea that all agents or casting people will try to force him to take camp roles, or hide to his sexuality. He doesn’t want to be forced into a corner where he feels like he would have to take roles or act in a c…
