I'm a male actor in my mid-late twenties, and tomorrow I have an audition for a teenager (around 15y/o). I can pass as a teenager sometimes, depending on what I'm wearing. E.g. if I'm wearing a t-shirt and shorts people often read me as 15-17 or so, but if I'm dressed more formally, e.g. button-down shirt and nicer tro…

Title. I’m a junior in HS and I’m preparing for a monologue that I have to memorize and act in the upcoming weeks.

I met someone on a SAG production who told me you can join a SAG affiliate for roughly half the joining fee. It allows you to work as a union actor in a small region, but not the entire country. I cannot find any information about this. Is it true?
