I am currently acting in a show at an Equity theatre and have thoroughly enjoyed observing my fellow actors during their warmups. I have even picked up some of their warmups and added them to my repertoire. This got me wondering, what are some of your favorite warmups?

Sometimes I wonder if the actors and actresses are actually good at acting or do they just the glory of "best actor" because they appear on screen more and we can see them more often. I literally don't know what good acting is though.

I am very annoyed at my nasally voice. My words tend to blend together. It's hard to understand me at lower volumes. When I am speaking loudly I am much more understandable. When I speak fast I have to over annunciate and it looks strange. When I really try I can sound alright for the most part but it is a real distrac…

Hi all - I'm an LA-based actor, trying to book commercials. A production company called Smartcraft Productions say they want to book me for a commercial for BonPrix, a UK-based online outlet.

Hi. I am from England and often see many British actors heading out to LA to continue their acting career. It seems that LA is the place to be for an actor, no matter where you are on the ladder of acting. I know that London is a great place for acting too, the same as New York, but it seems that LA truly trumps them b…

Hi all! I've been active in this sub for a little while now. The recommendations such as casting sites (actor's access mainly) has been amazing and led to a surprising amount of auditions for having just a headshot!

I have always dreamed of becoming an actress. I have no real formal acting training, unless drama class in high school counts (which I know it really doesn’t).

So I'm a college kid in NYC just starting out with acting. I don't really have much experience beyond high school theater and college acting courses.

For me, it was 2008-2009 so I was 12 or 13. This is embarrassing but Disney's movie Camp Rock had recently come out and after watching it, I became fascinated by the idea of acting and being on a set.

So, I live in Houston, Texas. While Houston does have a very large theater scene the film/tv industry is almost non-existent here.
