So pre-covid I was planning on moving to Atlanta for a few years to build up my resume and get an agent, and then moving out to LA. But recently I have been wondering if I should just skip ATL and move to LA? In the long run, it would be cheaper to move straight to LA than to move to ATL, pay city prices for 2-3 years…

Hello! I am starting out as an actor. I also have a YouTube channel which I haven’t posted to in a very long time. I am planning to post a commentary video where I essentially joke about a Canadian children’s television show that ended a couple years ago.

Excuse the English. I've been preparing to audition for a part where the character I am going for is supposed to be the love interest of the lead. (Shes just supposed to be the crush of the lead).

Hi Everyone! Hope you are well. As quarantine drags on I have started to realize that I can use the time to become more educated on the variety of roles within the entertainment industry.

I'm just wondering if any of the Aussie actors lurking around this subreddit have any pointers around Sydney-based agencies and good places to get headshots?

# To Start. I want to take a moment and talk about who gets cast as who in casting, specifically when it comes to disabled and trans characters.

Lets say that you want to be a voice actor but your dog chewed up your mic and your headphones are breaking and you can' replace them. But your dating someone who knows how to draw and animated. And you want to help them out with voices. But you need a mic. And when you do. You don't know where to start.

Hey everyone so I (18M) am a lonely actor from NYC.

I don't have any fellow acting friends so I thought it would be nice to have some who are.

Hello! \*\*EDIT: I would love some pandemic related questions too.

I’ve been asking these questions. There is probably billions of actors out there. What can I bring that someone else doesn’t have. I just feel a bit discouraged. I’m also not from the Us. I’m all the way in Australia and it’s even smaller than anything. I just don’t feel like I can make a mark.

Not a big deal, but a question for curiosity sake. Are there any actors who are "recognizable names" or "household names" or things like that - but the actors are nonunion? I've seen a few casting calls for that and generally assume they mean more like "regionally well known in the indie circles" like how a local TV ne…

Hey actors, I've been applying for roles on Backstage, LA Casting and Actors Access for the past few months now.
