Being cancelled by fkflf0 • last post Jan 5th
My career hasn’t even started yet and after introspection, it seems I’ve behaved liked an toxic unhinged harasser (purely platonic, nothing sexual) towards an actress friend. I can’t apologize to her since she’s blocked me. So, I know I’m being a navel-gazing selfish and self-centered person by saying this but ; should I give up on acting ? Cuz now I fear getting cancelled if I ever make it.
Following Agencies on Instagram by actress_writer101 • last post Jan 5th
There are certain agencies (on my wish list) that I follow on Instagram to see what their clients are up to. They post a lot of "booked it" stories and posts on behalf of their clients. I like them because it makes me happy to see fellow actors booking. But I wanted to ask: will it affect my chances of signing with any of these agencies if I like their posts? I always thought that they'd want people to like their posts, and it's useful for me because if I want to get back to the post and research the show or the actor, it's easy to find.
What is the best school or place to become a film actor? by CloseCry6 • last post Jan 5th
Not huge on stage performances. I know a lot of these MFAs are for more stage acting. I'm planning to take an intro acting class at my local community college. I already have an undergraduate degree in an unrelated field.
Did a little digging; should I reach out directly? by Bellatrix_855 • last post Jan 5th
So I found a role on Actors Access on a local film that is perfect for me! I submitted the day it was posted (today). I’m just starting out so I have no substantial reel so I did not submit any video, just a photo and description under “notes”. I did some research and found both the Casting Director and Casting Associate’s email. They’re names were listed on the posting. I know that hundreds of people are submitting for the same role, so would it be beneficial to email them today just reiterating my interest in the role? Is that generally favorable or looked down upon?

How to be a part of projects in the US as an acting student, and how to stay after the end of my training/education? by Clock-Ticking • last post Jan 5th
Hello everyone!! New to the sub and looking for help. I'm from South America, work in the tech industry, and for 2 years now, everytime i've had time to reflect on my life my thoughts gravitate towards acting. In that time, i revisited this sub a thousand times, and i understand that i'm a beginner and if i want to enter the us market as a foreigner i must excel at the craft, get training, enough experience, apply for an 01 visa... That being said, i can work remotely, so moving out of my home country to pursue this urge aligns with other aspects of my life too, and since i have to get training anyway, might as well go to a place where i have more options/oportunities. So, i've been looking for places where i can get good training and experience, and the US is the first o the list (feel free to give me other suggestions). Now for the questions: Can i "work" on projects as a student/actor and get credits? Is there a way of staying in the US to further pursue acting after my training ends? And does that apply for non degree training programs (Stella Adler, NYCDA...)?
Portraying vs. Feeling by StudySafe1982 • last post Jan 5th
Let's take sadness. Most acting coaches tell you that the audience can see through fake tears and will know if you're not truly sad but merely faking sadness. But I think you can totally get away with just portraying an emotion. I've seen it happen. Actors just simply going through the motions of a certain emotion instead of actually feeling it. So basically all their work is external and focused on making certain movements, tonal inflections, facial expressions... But they're never actually in the state of mind of their character. I mean, there's this one famous actress who even openly admitted she doesn't produce her tears naturally. She just jawns without opening her mouth. So maybe you don't actually have to be connected to your character and can just fake it?

Actors needed for survey! by Patprick • last post Jan 5th
Hello fellow actors. I am currently a theater actor and in AP Research, this is my senior year of high school. My paper is regarding Discrimination in the Theater Industry, and through my literature review, I found a gap regarding the effects it has on mental health. I am conducting a survey to answer that gap. If you guys would like to fill out this 5-minute survey regarding how discrimination in theater has affected your mental health, it would be greatly appreciated! [https://forms.gle/QUtV6MgzhTzBcWiN8](https://forms.gle/QUtV6MgzhTzBcWiN8) Disclaimer: While this data will be anonymous, it will be used in my paper, and your taking the survey gives me your consent to use your data.
Maybe a dumb question about sex scenes in acting by M4cNChees3 • last post Jan 4th
Not sure if right thread, but in movies where there are sex scenes, do the actors and actresses ever perform actual intercourse (just obviously isn't fully shown in the show or movie)? Or are there some policies against that or idk how does all of that work? I can only imagine how awkward that would be with a bunch of people in the background, but I guess no different than porn if it's two consenting adults.

What is the benefit of working in a closet by Consistent-Future874 • last post Jan 4th
I hear that a lot of voice actors set up in a walk-in closet and while I do have one it would definitely be a pain to set up in, are the benefits worth it to do or is just working in my room fine or are there any alternatives.
Foreign Taxes: have any American actors here worked overseas on American shows? by CanineAnaconda • last post Jan 4th
Recently I've gotten some American network auditions for shows that shoot overseas. Has anyone done this in the last few years? Asking because a few years back I got slammed with foreign taxes for a role in a commercial that shot in Canada. It was an American spot but run by a Canadian production company. I'm guessing that a network show that shot overseas would still be run and therefore paid by the American production company, but I have in the past had to pay local state income taxes on income I made out of my home state. If I have a tax liability in the host country where the location is, I'd like to be prepared beforehand in case I'm faced with a contract to sign.

Is it possible as an actor to act a real job? That sounds possible to me.
side gig benefits by Several_Pay_7483 • last post Jan 4th
hello, fellow actors! after a few months of unemployment, i was hired for a remote copywriting position at a nonprofit. i really like the gig, and am wondering how viable it is to stay at a steady remote job while in the early stage of my acting career (i'm 23 and have been signed with management for 1 year) i have 4 weeks of PTO. how have others managed to make acting work with regular jobs? i'm tentatively anxious about being without income and benefits should i start booking (lmao) and wondering how others manage that aspect of the business
