If you were looking at a role and deciding whether or not to audition for it, how big of a deal would it be to you if the character had exactly one scene where they had face-to-face dialogue with a major, big name actor? [View Poll](https://www.reddit.com/poll/swrn1f)
What are some good websites for submitting auditions? I don’t have an agent and I am based in DFW with the ability to travel to Austin for work. I looked at backstage and actors access. But Backstage seems to be mostly short films. And actors access requires you to pay for each audition you submit. I am looking for stuff that pays, and I don’t have much money. Is actors access worth the yearly subscription? Should I just pay by submission? Or are there other websites I should join as well? Thank you for any help!
Hey all! I want to recommend Clubhouse to you guys. It's an app where you can join different conversations on literally thousands of topics if you dont already know. You do have to be invited but I can invite you. Doesnt do anything but help people join.Anyway, in the acting rooms there are agents, managers, and casting directors answering everyones questions. One of my friends got an agent just for asking a good question and getting the agents interested. They are legit agents, managers, and casting directors in the rooms. Ive been called in by almost all the CDs before. Truth from the horse's mouth. I learned SO MUCH. Ok that's all! Break all the legs! (Los Angeles based actor)
If you're a female adult voice actress and you're interested in narrating 18+ stories of mine (basically turning them into mini audio books), definitely feel free to send me your rates and a link to one or two audios you've already done, so that I know what your voice sounds like. Potential for a ton of voice acting work. And all punctually paid for, of course (Euros, dollars, pounds; whichever currency you use).
I'm a beginner actor and I'm facing with my first roles, as a servant or others like this. How can I express the right intention even if there's not a particular one according to little characters?
10 years ago i played a part in the pilot of a crimeshow i wass 18 years and didn't had experience. There where big actors in it to. (Big in my country). They really are good some did international work in film. One would say be proud of it. But i reel really shame for it. Cause i didn't had experience, my acting wass terrible. Are more of you guys who had this. That they fucked up a role and still became good actors later on.
So,I would like to become voice actor one day. I like to act and do voices of certain creatures,characters and so on. My absolutely favorite ones to do is orc (Warcraft,Battle for Middle-earth 2 type). I also do dwarves,regular human emotions and other stuff. I had few People tell me I do good job at imitating those characters. So,I would like to get some real critics about my voice and If I am really good. If I am I would love to get into industry,and there is another problem. I don't live in USA, so I don't know where to start. If someone from outside of USA can help me and tell me few advices I would be so happy. Thank you for your time!
HELLO! I've never actually lied to get an audition or needed to lie in an audition room. But now here I am. Staring at a virtual EPA (infinite eye rolling) that has a breakdown for a character that I am SPECIFICALLY and UNDENIABLY perfect for. I don't mean "I love this character/this story/this director/they would love me" I mean this specific character breakdown fits me to a T in ways that it's not going to fit the average actor. However on the form they have "By checking the box below I confirm that I am a member of Actors Equity Association: \*Please note EPA's are for AEA members. We are currently not accepting non-union submissions for this EPA." Very clearly on the form. I'm eligible (aren't we all?) but have not joined. I feel I deserve to send in my tape regardless. How much of a bad situation could I end up in by lying on the form?
Sorry if this comes off as petty or whiny, but just looking for some support and feedback from fellow actors who perhaps feel/have felt similarly. First off, I’m hoping to get some ideas on how to be less judgmental and more constructively critical of self-tapes. I’m catching myself judging and over-directing myself while performing, and then after the fact, while choosing the take, I’m having very unkind feelings toward myself and my performances. How do you find a more objective place to work from, both in the performance and when choosing what to submit. Subsequently, I’m feeling hella down on not having booked anything since September. I had four auditions over the course of the last week, didn’t feel great about any of them, and I’m trying to not dip into that emotionally cannibalizing place of self-pity. What tools do you utilize when toeing with feelings of disappointment and malcontent? Curious how we all cope. Side note: finally started listening to the Dead Eyes podcast, and what a hilarious, touching examination of rejection through the (dead) eyes of a working actor and his famous friends/guests. Recommend!
I’ve been seeing there’s a lot of acting classes on YouTube but they are definitely for beginners. I know all about technique and scene study and Edith Skinner. I know how to analyze a scene, memorize, find the intention or the objective of the character, and I know how to ask myself what do I want from another character . I understand raising stakes. I understand blocking and making sure to use specific motions and not to do certain things with my hands or my body language. I understand all the basics. What I’m looking for is to be reminded of the more nuanced things such as playing with beats, accents, and how to stay in character when technical things are in my way. Just certain things I need to know. Hard to explain because I didn’t keep training clearly. I’d love to have more advanced training. It’s been a LONG time for me! I’m back from 16 yrs of not training!!! But all the basics come back to me when I play with scenes. I know I have the talent, but I need more training. ?
Hey y'all. I live in Los Angeles, which absolutely plays a part in what I'm about to say because the industry is everywhere. How do you guys manage your social networks? The lines are so blurred between friend, colleague, boss, and employee. One second somebody's just a guy in your improv class, and the next, they're sending you an audition. Someone you met at a party later asks you to cast and direct a short their uncle is producing. It's really hard to know how to act sometimes, and how to have good boundaries. Anyone experience something similar, or have tips or dos/don'ts?
How to stay in character when there is constantly movement, people setting up lights and mics, talking, shouting, or even talking to me while I’m trying to stay in character. I’ve never actually done anything but one film, but thankfully it was comedy and my role was super minor. I didn’t really have to get in my feelings too much. It was easy. But when it comes to drama I really need to focus. I’m not someone who’s the best multitasker and do lose focus when there is a lot of noise. I’m so used to theater all my childhood and teen yrs and into conservatory. I’m accustomed to an environment where I can be on stage and it’s extremely quiet except for us actors… It’s all my brain knows. The hush of the theater lets me focus.
Hello! I’m starting up an audio book project around a fully fledged fan novel based in the warrior cats book universe. The story will be original and no characters from previous books will make an appearance, however may be referenced in legends and such. I’m currently looking for a narrator, preferably an older male reader however others are fine. I’m also looking for other voice acted character roles. Here’s the info Character: narrator Voice: an smooth male voice with no specific age required Role: narrates characters actions, however not characters thoughts, only the main characters will be read out. Character: Crimson Voice: a deeper male voice in early 30’s or mid to late 20’s Role: main character that’s followed throughout the story Character: Harlow Voice: an elder male who acts as a sort of mentor to crimson in a time of need. He has a raspy voice and a hearty attitude. Character: kicking’jacks Voice: a younger male (14-16) character who has a positive outlook on life and loves to talk. Role: main side character Character: lorn’paw Voice: a stern voice that commands obedience. (Mid to late 30’s) Role: a side character that interacts with kicking’jacks for a while. (More will be added soon but these are the main voices needed now) The project will be uploaded to YouTube and I shall go ahead and edit, write (along with many others) and over see the projects well being. It is preferred if you have discord as this would make contact much easier, however it is not required. Any and all profits made will be equally and fairly given to all involved and put forth to create better quality content. All money and analytics will be available to all involved, and all have the right to ask for updates at any time. This has been a bison long in the making and I’m really excited to have finally gotten it started. Feel free to comment or DM me if your interested or want more info, I’ll be happy to provide.
Never wanted to pursue acting, wanted to be a model, but I moved to LA (just for the vibe and mutual interest) &have lived here over a year and always get asked if I’m an actress, based on my personality. I know it’s an incredibly oversaturated profession. Just wondering if anyone else has felt this
Hi, I am a fairly new voice actor looking to build my portfolio. As I am new I won't charge anything for the jobs, I am just trying to get more experience and get myself out there. I hope to hear from you soon.
Use this thread to post your headshots for feedback, get info on your age range/type, find good headshot photographers, ask any questions you may have about headshots. If you are posting a DIY headshot for feedback, and not just a snapshot in order to get feedback on your age range/type/etc, it is advised that you do at least some basic research on what actor headshots look like--composition, framing, lighting. You will find a Google Image search for "actor headshots" to be very helpful for this. Non-professional shots are fine for age/typecasting; please keep in mind that one picture is a difficult way to go about this. Video of you moving and speaking would be ideal, but understandably more difficult to post. For what it's worth, the branding workshop at SAG-AFTRA recommends a five-year age range. That's inclusive, so for example 19-23, 25-29, 34-38, etc.
Evening ive posted here before but reddits been a pain and theres been some changes to my project. So im a cabadian trying to secure a gov arts fund for a webseries. We are well underway at this point so its just a matter of time. Due to the nature of canadian funding crrtian funds require we have at least 80% canadian citizens on staff. So im primarily looking fir canadian voice actors. The webseries is an animated adult fantasy that focuses on mental health through the expierences of our characters as a sutble teaching tool. As such we cover some heavy subjects both relating to the realities (both good and bad) about mental health as well discussing elements of trauma. We have written 5 of the 12 scripts so we do have a list if people need to see that. We are in need of actors of all ethnicities as well as a nonbinary actor. If you are intrested comment below and i will contact you. It will be paid
Recently I was cast as Clifford Anderson in Deathtrap and then set to play Elwood in Harvey right after. I should be happy?...right? But I feel like I suck as an actor. Even though I give it 100, I still feel as though I could've done better. Its community theatre so there are some individuals that are well known for taking the stage in my area. I'm not one of those individuals. I only really started getting involved within the last couple years or so. But I feel like everyone thinks I don't deserve the role and that tears my self esteem down a bit more. Any advice on how to really capture a character? How to show them that I really belong there?
Hello everyone; I've heard it said that actors should look for a "unique skill" that differentiates them from everyone, like dialects, combat training, etc. While I am looking for all of these things, I was wondering: Does years of experience in haunted houses count as having a unique skill? I've worked in them since I was 10 years old, playing leading roles in each and every haunt I've done since I was 16. I've played zombies, clowns, vampires, pirates, many different types of characters. But, with the reputation of haunted attractions being "lower" than traditional theater, does this count as a unique skill that could be put a resume or mentioned in an audition? Thank you!
Im genuinely curious to see other peoples motivations here, I’ll answer myself. Where I grew up acting wasn’t prominent, you wouldn’t even get to take an acting class until high school, and they were not informative by any means; one of those schools that just threw a production in your face and let the students wing it. But I went to a summer camp when I was in 6th grade, and decided I wanted to take on a theater production that they had offered. I don’t remember the name of the show, but I do remember my character was “cara de girl” symbolizing a card girl, she was like a side narrator to the story and she was a spitfire ditzy character. I remember how hard it was to memorize lines, but I worked on it so hard every night because just the idea of being on stage in front of hundreds of people was appealing to me. When we performed the show, being a first time actor, I felt my nervousness as I shook on stage, but after a few lines— people laughed at my character. She was funny, and people were enjoying it! I realized after that moment, I really loved acting. Not because of the attention (although its nice), but because when you go up on that stage, you tell a story, you embody someone else, and you’re able to entertain your audience by taking them away from their own stress and burden. Thats what motivates me. I get to tell a story to someone else and help them get away from their own lives for awhile. Im in college now double majoring, and though I may not ever get to be professional, its still just really fun to experience:)
And how can those skills be learned?

My question isnt about whether to take one or not- but is it too late? I am not represented, have been in only student films, been enrolled at an acting studio since this summer, had done a few CD workshops, am on Actors Access- is it too late to use a stage name? I plan to keep my last name and change my first. I never liked it and never thought it fit me, I always wanted something more unique and more of a statement.
Am hoping an actor would share what the typical hours are today on set for each of the various formats and how many months they run for both network and streaming. Is an episodic 12 hours five days a week every day for example for a regular and a still a 12 hour day for a co-star? Am wondering for co-star, guest star and series regular on each type of show what the hours actually are. Any comments from working actors is really appreciated. Thank you.
Im not an actor. Is it common to improvise in plays or movies? Is it frowned upon? How to react as an actor when another actor is improvising? These are some questions I have for a long time...
We all know as actors that having a great demo reel as part of your package is important. Or it was? I have learned recently that Acting Clips are becoming the industry STANDARD. So what are Acting Clips? Acting Clips are 30 second to 1 minute clips of your performance from a project you did. What is great about an Acting Clip is that if you haven't done any projects lately, you can pick a SCENE (not a monologue) and film it in a self tape style! This is great for beginners, actors in smaller markets, and actors who are constantly training and improving because Acting Clips can be updated on YOUR time. You can pick a scene, you can write a scene, you can get your acting friends together and make a short film and yall can get clips from that short film. I did a project this past summer and I really liked my performance but I wont get the clips until this summer. It's so frustrating having to wait for your clips (especially in a small market because they are usually really slow). So i'm going to do Acting Clips that can be updated on my time and i'll be really picky about what I add in my demo reel. If you have a old demo reel that you are still using, please stop using it, now! It's holding you back. Go make some Acting Clips. ( I think Acting Clips are supposed to be only 30 seconds but I would say keep it under 1 minute at least)
I’ve noticed that so many actors that I’m around are so well versed in the film industry and I feel like I’m missing out on something. I try to educate myself but I don’t know much beyond what I learn in class. How can I improve my film history? And is this necessary to be a good actor?
Hey everyone, I am working on an assignment for class researching up and coming voice actors. So, I thought I would ask around for any people you might know. Thanks!
I am curious to know since I heard they aren't really turned on and have some items covering their private parts to prevent possible penetration or something on that matter.
I have a awesome job that pays the bills. I was just hand chosen to be a Stand in for the lead in a film that is directed by somewhat of a legend. He has directed movies with Brad Pitt, and a few other huge names. How do I call off my job LAST second for darn near a month for this? Is it a stupid idea? I know it’s only stand in work, but the fact that I’m standing in for a bigger actor and the director is WELL known in Hollywood, I feel like I have to do it.
So I booked my first short film (vary happy obviously I’m now officially a paid actor) but I’ve never booked before and want to be as ready and professional as possible. What are some things I should do before during and after filming (besides memorizing my lines)
I see there's a lot of info in this group about New York, LA, Atlanta, and Toronto, but little about the acting scene here in New England. With Massachusett's tax credit and the number of productions here, I would like to see better representation.Although, my experience up here is most of New England is very xenophobic, I'm not surprised to see little interaction with a more national scene.
Hey all, I'm an aspiring voice actor, but I'm Australian. So I have a pretty noticeable accent. How would I go about learning a good American accent in case I want to voice in a show mainly based around American accents in the future?
Hey guys, Does anyone know if you are able to work in other departments on set (ie. costuming/wardrobe, art dept.) if you are a unionized actor? I know they have their own union you must apply to. Just wondering if anyone has done this or knows more about the protocol surrounding it. For reference I am based in Toronto and would be unionized under ACTRA as a performer. thanks :)
I’m an actor newly based in DC, I’m hoping to get an agent in the next year or so, and I’m starting to do research on who’s in the area? Any actors here who are in DC and have experience with what agencies are good? If you have an agent, how did you get them? Or is it better to get an agent based on New York? This is a separate question but why not: What’s casting in DC in terms of TV/film?? Are there casting agencies I should know about?
What role does your writing play in your personal approach to acting?
I avoid anime because the acting is so terrible even in the “good” ones like Attack on Titan - but I know many of these actors from their work on games and television shows etc and outside of anime they do great work. I assume they do these rushed delivers because they are trying to meet lip flaps but regardless - there is so much unnatural sounding acting in anime that it almost seems like they have directors that say to the actors “no, no, when you say the line about how you are still grieving the loss of your grandmother you sound sad when what you should be sounding like a person who has had their balls slammed in a car door and for no reason at all you are going to say ‘hmmm’ at the end of this and probably extend the word ‘grandma’ to a weird amount of time.’
So I've been acting for quite a while actually, and I love it! It's really fun and amazing and all but, at the same time it makes me realise how much I want to be on the other side of the coin- as in a director. Perhaps it's because of my personality and the fact I HATE being ordered around, because not being the one in charge of a everything is so boring and exhausting tbh. I constantly find myself disliking how the theatre director directs a play and it's one of the most frustrating things not being aboe to change it (even if it's their own play). Wether it was a role i like or not. I hate doing plays. I love improv on the other hand, because I can be my own hilarious self there, make poeple laugh with my comedy, dont have to stick to a script. Or maybe it's just theatre acting that I dont like, needing to be so expressive can begoddamn tiring. Still though, I feel like one of my passions is definitely being a director, not an actor. I don't know if this is a common or uncommon experiece...It's just a hobby at the end of the day, but its also very helpful in the future for me to understand how actors feel on stage/camera, so imma continue doing it. There's just something addicting abt being in charge of everything, and being respected for it aswell
Just recently I was cast as Wadsworth in the production of clue at my highschool. I was surprised as I don't have any prior acting experience. Im super excited but also very nervous! I have a lot of lines! Unfortunately another actor seems to be sour. He has much more experience than me, a better british accent, and everyone thought he would get the role. Today was our first rehearsal and I felt like he was trying to intimidate me? kept saying things like "hope you can keep up" and "still really surprised about the casting." When i asked him to elaborate he said "some people really fit roles and they just werent given them." I feel like his presence at these rehearsals is really going to through me off my game. I messed up a line and he laughed! What should I do? I feel like hes just waiting for me to give the role to him.

I went to school for acting in NY. I’ve wanted to do this since I was little. Then right before my graduation, a cab accident completely derailed any plans I had. Long story short, I got depressed, I was scarred and I ended up leaving NY and moved to CT. After 13 years, this dream has never gone away and I want nothing more than to act again. I’ve been submitting endlessly. I’ve had auditions but nothing has come back. I read countless books, I watch countless films and am constantly working on my craft. I’ve filmed monologues but nothing on my professional reel is recent. I just want work to build my reel. I’ve even started writing my own scripts to film so I can make a reel out of that. What am I not doing? I guess I’m just having a moment of feeling defeated. I want this so bad. I’ve been working so hard and just feel like I’m kidding myself. I know every actor feels this way at some point and we just keep moving forward and doing the work but how do I overcome this? What more can I do? I can’t help feeling that it’s just too late for me.
have you guys seen this movie? done in one take, it has some of the best acting i've seen in a long time. it's like an incredibly intricate play with dozens of actors and props. ive seen a million plays but something about all of these actors hitting every mark perfectly for 90 minutes was wildly impressive and totally new. [would highly recommend checking it out](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBUfCL_tvro) i'd be curious to hear anyone else's thoughts
A couple of months ago I got a vr quest headset and as soon as I went into vrchat for the first time people told me I had a wonderful voice. It was always funny to do a deep voice just to do a complete 180 on them and blow their minds. After some time I made amazing friends and everyone told me I should try to become a voice actor, even if it was just as a hobby. To try and start that I purchased a surface laptop go and a basic mic setup. I now have my laptop and I am still waiting for the microphone to show. Until it does I would like to ask questions like what voice recording software would be good for a windows 10 laptop and how would I try to get my name out there? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated and thank you for listening.
I think I’m already over it. But it took a bit of processing the boundary crossing. But it makes me think for the future how to prevent this or stop it right away. Should teachers/schools have rules in place about directing your fellow actor? Should actors have this talk right off the bat-like hey I have a rule for myself and I wound like to request it from you. I don’t give you notes, you don’t give me notes. If something isn’t working I’ll take it to the director, and I request the same from you. I read an article that said a sure way to stop it right away is to say to the actor giving notes: “Thank you for the note.” But I’m not sure that fits for me, is there something else to say? Or do you accept notes from your scene partners?
Just for some quick info about me: hi, hello! My name is Megan, I'm 19 (20 in April), and I've thought about acting my whole life, but it just never seemed like a realistic, stable career, so I never let myself pursue it. At least, that was until I read and saw Dune. I saw the film 3 times in theaters because I loved the directing, acting, cinematography, all of it so much! Ever since then, I think and dream about some way, somehow being on the set of the upcoming part 2 every day. If I wanted to be REALLY ambitious, I would love to play Princess Irulan. I think she and I share a sense of grace and wisdom/maturity beyond our years (or so I've been told), and I'm confident I could deliver her 3 lines of the book well. But, since I have literally only auditioned for one thing in my whole life, and don't even at least have headshots, I'm focusing on trying to be a background actor lol. Nonetheless, my biggest quandary, so far, is: I have no idea where to even start the process of fulfilling this dream of mine. I know background actors don't need any experience or to even audition to be casted, but with Dune being such a huge film, I have a feeling the background casting process won't be that easy. Should I get an agent? (Yes, I am serious enough about this to pay for an agent just to get this small part). Could I just submit an audition on a site like Backstage or Casting Networks? Would a film this big even post to sites like Backstage or Casting Networks? Is there even a real chance of me being casted for this? (I mean one scene in the book calls for 10,000 people, and I know they're not actually going to get 10,000 people, but still there's a lot of room for extras). Any advice, guidance, opinions, whatever feedback you're willing to give is very much so appreciated! Thank you, guys.
ActorsAccess? CastingAbout? Etc...? Any lesser known ones that have helped you out? Anyone expensive ones that are worth the cost?
this is just a post to let off steam since I'm a wannabe Director who is taking acting classes to get a better understanding on how being on stage is like and being an actor in a play feels like so I can direct actors on a more personal level as I will know what it's like to be in their position. because how can I direct an actor if I've never acted before you know? anyways there's this one kid in my class who wants to be a stand up comedian. he's not very good because from what I can tell from a technical side is that he has no practice being up on stage in front of people and the anxiety that it brings comes out in his attempts at jokes which doesn't allow them to land. if feels like he's trying to over compensate his anxiety with basically anything he things will make people laugh. with practice he can get better but I doubt he'll be "Netflix special" good as he wants to be. it's more a statistical thing than a dig at his talent. for a project we had in class yesterday we had to do a scene that involved the fourth wall. we had to pretend that the fourth wall was up and we were alone doing our own private moments. ie. making a sandwich or reading a book or getting dress ect. most of the students did very well! I could tell a few were too aware of the audience to truly allow the wall to come up but again this is a beginning actors class and only the beginning of the semester so I'm sure theyll be able to tune us out in a few weeks. they all have potential I can see it in them they just need a little direction and help getting over their stage fright to truly get into character. I believe they can be great actors they just need a little push in the right direction by the right person. but this guy, let's call him Evan, is dead set on being a stand up comedian to the point where I'm not sure why he's in this class to begin with. the teacher told him outright not to do standup for this project. like I heard the teacher say that to everyone because even he saw through this kid. well the day came and guess what Evan did for his project. the whole routine was him walking around making jokes about how bored he was. like that was it. nothing else. there was no direction in the scene. no point A to point B. I couldn't even feel the beat of the scene because there was none. he didn't even pretend there was a fourth wall. a side note, as someone who has directed before I can say that I can see the fourth wall when it's up like mentally and visibly. I can tell when you truly feel like you are a character alone in a room and talking to yourself or someone else and thinking you're alone. it's truly a beautiful sight to behold because I feel like I'm a voyeur looking into a moment I shouldn't be seeing. that I'm intruding on a moment that should have belonged to you and you alone but now it also belongs to me and you don't even know it. but I can also tell when the fourth wall isn't there at all. like when you guys didn't even try to build it, just outright left the building materials off stage and are now trying to convince us that you did build it. we can tell from the moment you walk on stage all the way to the end of the scene. you can't hide from us lol anyways the moment he walked on stage I just knew he was going to do a stand up routine and it was the longest two minutes of my life. I didn't care that the jokes were bad and not landing. the worst part was that he wasn't "pretending" to be alone he was outright trying to connect to the audience in the worst way possible. he was told to do the scene correctly and thought he could get away with it but he failed miserably. it was truly hard to watch. the teacher tried to explain it to him nicely but I ended up outright calling him out on it because I knew it was going to get even worse as the semester goes on. he tried to claim he was trying to make himself laugh but like come on man. you weren't in laughing in the scene itself don't lie to us. in the end the teacher pulled him aside and gave him a scene to do and guess what IT WAS AMAZING I felt the fourth wall there, I saw the window I was looking through into this one moment he was having alone on stage. he was truly ignoring the audience and I saw it. it was honestly the best one out of all of us. I saw how great an actor he could be because it look so natural. I saw the razor he was using that wasn't there, the water and the aftershave. the sink and the mirror. he was alone on stage and I could see the bathroom he was in like it was actually there girls and boys I wanted to fucking scream out of happiness because he truly took the instructions of the project and fucking demolished them. he can truly be an actor, a great one, if he just stops trying to hide it behind a stand up routine that feel unnatural. he truly felt at home in that bathroom on stage and I wish he would stay there forever. I guess if you can learn one thing from this rant is that as directors we want you to succeed. we can see the talent in you and we want to build it up into something great and beautiful. we can tell if you're scared on stage but we can also tell when you're comfortable and yourself. we can see right through you because that is our job. we want to make you the best you can be because we can see what you can do when you truly feel at home on the stage even if you can't. you just have to put forth the effort and not try to bullshit us. we will know the moment you walk in so don't even try. but I can promise you this your stand up routine that you think is killer probably isn't and you should stick to monologues for the time being just saying
I am looking for an acting summer course in New York and found out that the Manhatten Film Institute offers one where you will shoot two short films and wanted to ask if anyone has experience with them since it‘s on the pricier side. Thank you in advance for answers :)
I’m looking into a casting call and I saw those titles beside two different characters. I’m still very new to actually going out and auditioning so I’m just confused as to what they mean. Any help is appreciated.
I'm subscribed to Project Casting, Backstage, Actors Access, and Casting Networks. However, I rarely find a good casting call that's fit for me. Anyone got any tips?
Weeee, you found me!
I'm your buddy Bottie, I was hiding behind the scenes, but now that you've found me I'd be happy to tell you what I'm doing.
