Hello I am very new to the acting scene, taking my first class in 2 weeks. I’m sure I can ask the teacher and find out but I’d like to get some information prior. I see online stuff about union and non union gigs and actors being classified as those or SAG eligible. Can you help tell me what exactly they mean? Does bei…

i've been around the block a lil bit and I've come to the conclusion that the way to get ahead is to have the cheapest rent possible so you can work minimally and spend all your time doing acting stuff, so that's what I'm trying to do. i just moved here from NYC and everybody i know has good living situations already w…

Today I got a really cool audition on Actors Access. I'm pretty stoked about it because it would be a pretty big deal to me if I got it, and I submitted for it like 3 weeks ago so I had pretty much forgotten about it completely. However, the role was pretty vague in the breakdown, but once I read over the sides, I noti…

For the past year, I’ve really developed a passion for acting, especially after seeing performances by Heath Ledger and Timothée Chalamet. I want nothing more than to pursue acting, but I’m not sure how to go about it. I’m generally speaking pretty smart, and naturally good at writing. Despite that, I haven’t had the h…

I've gotten some auditions, and I'm still relatively new to the site, but I'm curious if anyone actually books work through it. Has anyone signed up for Wendy's paid services? I'm just curious what they entail and if the actor felt like what they learned was worth the price tag. Whether it be the Winners Circle, or a m…

Hey guys, I'm a new actress living in Alberta at the moment. Going to be moving to Toronto by Fall 2019 without a car (too many added expenses). Is this very inconvenient as an actor in Toronto? Are a lot of auditions held all over GTA, or mainly in Toronto downtown? I do not have an agent atm, and realistically don't…

Hey there folks, I’m fairly new to reddit so forgive me if I mess anything up here. So I just got hired into a theatre that does shows from all over, including broadway and London. The only thing is that I’m a stagehand. I want to be an actor, and believe me, I’m not complaining about this job. I just hope it doesn’t e…

The thing on Actors Access that charges? Has anyone taken advantage of it? If so, what were the results? I just want to get myself a bit more out there. Thank you for any and all opinions :) ​ EDIT- Talent Link is what it's called. I'm a dork. But still same question!

I'm working on getting that sag-eligible status, I'm signed up for central casting and submit for extra work on casting networks.

This is a criticism I have gotten twice when auditioning for small film projects in my area. They just say I have to much energy when reading my lines at auditions. I'm not really sure what this means whether I'm too loud or too excited? I've done almost all theatre work in the past 2 years so I'm not sure if that has…

I’m having a huge dilemma. I (perhaps stupidly) got myself attached to a project without knowing much about it and am starting to regret it.

Good job fellas! Looks like we'll be adding a new rule. If anyone does this please report them so we can hand them a 24-hour ban. Also, when someone asks what their type is and you say "my type," you're not being anywhere near as clever as you think.

I watch all these interviews of actors I admire and they’re all so humble but they never seem insecure. Realistically I know I can’t be bad or else I‘d be getting way less work, but it’s hard not to let those thoughts creep in sometimes. Does anyone else feel like that ever?
