Hello! I just wanted to share this because I’m really excited and I have no one to talk to about it in person. I have been busting my ass to get better at my craft and get my marketing materials and package together. I just recently decided to take a gap year from my acting conservatory and take this year to see where…

I'll try to make this as simple as possible because I know the question is confusing me lol I booked a role in February as a paramedic on an episode of a true crime reenactment TV show. On my contract I am playing a character with a name, but this "character" is a real person who appears in the episode to give her reco…

As the title says. Been looking around but there is so many different ones. Also, what is the difference between a Acting School versus an Actors studio? Worried about the school, since I first of all don't got a GED and secondly, money. ​ Cheers.

Just moved here. Excited for the bigger city move. Just wondering if there is anything worth it in San Antonio to try anything out. I know during a pandemic there isn’t much, but maybe for whenever it is over/settling down?

I always think that much of the reactions, laughter, etc, are just acting. I mean, most of the shows are scripted, the environment and the products are already set up. So, I doubt if their reactions are authentic. Do talk show hosts and television presenters in general have a made-up character with made-up reactions ju…

I’m not sure if this is the right sub but just something I’m genuinely curious about. I’ve been rewatching some old sitcoms (like Full House) and I’m thinking, how do they work with kids like Nicky and Alex? How do the kids not get confused calling uncle Jesse “daddy”? Or, for example, on today’s episode Jesse was “moc…

Somewhat of a new actor here with a tiny resume of work on my AA profile. Today I was beefing up the resume with the student films I’ve been in and that led me to what I’ve done that isn’t a short/tv/movie. Should I put under an “other” category in the resume section that I was a performer in parades because they’re so…

I pretty regularly see posts on this sub from people as young as 15 years old broadcasting their age and looking for contacts. I know networking is an important part of the acting career path but it seems innapropriate to have this happening on this sub. A reddit post casts a wide net and you really don't know who you'…

So I had an hour long Facetime with a CD at a big production company this past weekend, connected by a family member.

Hey guys. Does anyone know how the AA algorithm handles actor submissions for a role vs when their rep submits for the role? Does casting give priority to one over the other? Do they see both or does one cancel out the other? I tend to scour AA throughout the day and submit whenever I see union work that fits me. I ten…

Hello Everyone. For a good while I've lurked around on hundreds of voiceacting and voiceover forums, but I've always been timid on actually going out there and doing it.

Some people say they are and some say they aren’t. Actresses like Charlie Theron and Margot Robbie or actors like Henry Cavill or Chris Hemsworth.
