Where can I find casting calls in Chicago, besides Backstage, casting Networks, Actors Access? It makes no sense to pay a subscription for 1 or 2 auditions I might not get. It’s hard to find casting calls now days. I have good headshots and self tapes according to my acting coaches but I can’t find any work and agents…

Hi! I recently moved to Atlanta for reasons that are unrelated to acting lol but I was living in LA for a couple years and took classes at Graham Shiels Studios. I love the way those classes operate and am hoping to find something similar here! All of their teachers are real working actors who are actively booking, and…

When ever I hear professional Va like say Troy baker or Aleks le or some lesser known voice actors how do they sound so clear and precise with there words does it have to do with audio editing or training methods

Hey guys, I’m a fairly new actor in Australia (less than 3 years of on-off classes, some gigs as model/extra/actor, etc.). I was signed to an agency for a year and it opened a lot of opportunities, but I had to take a step back from acting for a few months and to sum up, I didn’t think we were a great fit to renew my c…

Hi, everyone. I've been reading this sub Reddit of a while and wonder how many people here exclusively do film or theatre and what's the situation in UK theatres now, what are the tendencies?

I'm a mid twenties actress, graduated from a reputable UK drama school 3 years ago. I was very fringe theatre "the CRAFT" oriented at the time and didn't really wanna engage with the agents industry side of it because I didn't feel screen was for me. About a year ago I realised that making my own work wasn't actually a…

Hi everyone! I'm 14 and I'm from Russia. I really want to become an actor. It's been my dream since I was 5 years old. The problem is, in my town there aren't any film companies (at least I can't find any). At school we often perform plays, and I always join them. They're not just short skits — they're real theater per…

I’ve noticed that I tend to keep my lips/jaw quite tense when I speak, and I also move my eyebrows a LOT. I’ve become very aware of it on camera, and sometimes it makes my expressions look unnatural to me. Is this something actors consciously work on and retrain? I don’t mean forcing expressions, but changing an automa…

Hello NYC-based background actors! Curious about the different productions currently filming with a lot of extras in NYC. There seems to be a huge uptick in work and wondering if there are any sets or projects to avoid or that are particularly good? For example, has anyone done BG for Elsbeth and how was it? Did they t…

I’m (25F) a voice actor, haven’t done much, mostly indie stuff. Very much enjoy it. I also do community theater. I believe doing theater has helped me be a better voice actor, but I don’t plan to do community theater professionally, for me it’s just a fun way to be social in my community and do something enjoyable.

I carry a lot of narratives about Hollywood being an unsafe place to work from the media and what the general public thinks of actors. At the same time, I know it's possible to have a completely different experience. I know it's possible to genuinely enjoy going to work every day as an actor, to feel supported by the p…

Looks are so nightly valued, I worry I’m not pretty enough to act. Edit: My high school director would constantly typecast me as the ugly comic relief or the old person. I was usually like a maid or something instead of a princess. She might’ve just hated me cause my community shows usually cast me in dance roles or “c…

When it comes to writing a pitch, the word vague comes to mind because we as writers should refrain from using a vague sentence in our pitch. Clarity is all I write.

I've been informed by an experienced acting coach that actors are using AI for self tapes. Is that really the case? That to me is the lowest of the low. Zero art, zero creativity. At that point you may as well quit.

I see so many actors obsessing over lighting, camera quality, backgrounds, framing, depth, and cinematography in their auditions. And honestly, I don’t understand why you put yourselves through all of this. None of this has ever been an actor’s job. I have yet to see an actor get cast because their audition had perfect…
