Salut, Omg ok wow. I do a lot of things. Art,dance,music, you get the point. Recently I’ve been getting hella inspired by movies and shows. I’ve been digging deep into the actors and taking note of how they work certain expressions without coming across as trying hard. Only problem is I’m very young. Like middle school…

This is a burner account because... Reddit haha. I work for an agency and am looking to possibly expand our non-union roster. Diversity, in any capacity, would be an asset.

Apologies in advance for the long read! It’s very hard for me to connect with the emotions of my character. It’s odd because I can typically understand where they’re coming from - both on the surface and sub-textual level - but that connection just isn’t there. It doesn’t matter if I’ve been through the exact same thin…

I know in the long run it'll be for the best, they were hardly getting me out and there wasn't much room for career growth with them. That being said, this feels like such a huge setback right now, and it is really taking a toll on me. Could use some words of encouragement from you fellow actors

I’ve been told a lot of the time that a helpful way to ensure more bookings is to find a color that makes me more cast-able. From the way I understand it, it’s meant to be a color that gets me casted more often when I wear it to my auditions. I’ve noticed it’s apparently a common theme, since plenty of more accomplishe…

Everyone, When I perform, I convince myself the other actor has meaning to me. I do myself to put myself and my needs away and take on the characters needs and beliefs.
