I recently went to a casting, and during the audition/casting process the directors mentioned that they were planning to add more kissing/romantic scenes to the project. Have you ever felt awkward watching a romantic scene you were in with your family, or had any funny/uncomfortable because of it? I’d also love to hear…

A little about me to frame the question: I'm a Philly based actor (I have a "real" 9-5, I act because I love it. I don't need the income.) Over the years I collected 6 SAG waivers doing background work and have been SAG-E for the last 3 years. Other than background all my work has been non-union or SAG ULB. This year h…

Hi! I’m currently working on my first indie visual novel and I’m starting to look into voice acting, but I honestly have no idea what a realistic budget would be. The game is a psychological mystery/thriller set in 1998. The main character works a night shift at a university helpline and starts receiving strange anonym…

Hey Acting gang, having just came back from the cinema feeling once again inspired to push on with the chase of my dreams, I was wondering what you've watched recently that left you feeling inspired. Have a great week!

I know for me it comes down to the impact of storytelling and giving a great performance. Movies like "Blood Diamond", Pulp Fiction", "F1", "Sinners" (that have become some of my favorites) have not only great stories, but great performances as well.

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…

Just here to vent that a while ago I saw a Paul King project come through on actors access that I KNEW in my gut was for a role as Ginger Rodger’s based on the description and request for tap dancers. Sure enough I saw today that Sabrina Carpenter was cast as Ginger Rodger’s in a Paul King movie. It seems so frustratin…

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'm a mid twenties actress, graduated from a reputable UK drama school 3 years ago.

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…

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.

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.

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.
