Which is your biggest example of "so-bad-they-are-good" actors/actresses? by AntiSocialPartygoer • last post Dec 21st
For me, it's Chris Klein. Don't get me wrong, I love how he acts in all American Pie movies he is in, but... Did you guys ever see this Legend of Chun-Li performance? It's laughably bad!

California minor child actor - work permit form for school by Impressive_Hurry4142 • last post Dec 20th
I am trying to fillout the paperwork for California minor child actor work permit and I am having problems finding the right school form. Does anyone know which is the right website or agency to contact? The school form that I have found has a waterdrop and looks like it’s not the correct form. Has anyone had this issue?
Tough characters by Dry-Tune-223 • last post Dec 20th
What do you define as a "tough character" to play? I keep hearing actors refer to some of their roles as being difficult characters, but I don't know what they mean by that. What does this mean, or look like, to you all? Thanks.
Yale school of drama (acting) admissions process & experience by Safe_Confection3553 • last post Dec 20th
I’ve been acting professionally for about 4 years now.. starting out in theatre and working myself through film and television. I even worked on a television show for a year in production/full time-stand in so I’ve always known the fast pace of this world. I did all of this while still attending undergraduate school. This year I also got my first agent and since my undergraduate experience is coming to an end I genuinely want to study acting full-time outside of the acting studios and workshops I’ve done. Yale school of drama being a school I love because of their curriculum and skill sets they are able to teach, I decided to apply a month ago. Fear got into the way and I stopped working on it.. now I am almost done with my application and I just want to know if anyone has had an experience with the audition process or experience going to school. Regardless if I get in I’m going to still purists acting in anyways I can however, Yale could make me an even better actor and I just can’t begin to imagine after 3 years who I could become with that type of training. Btw: I’m an African American female (idk if that will give more insight)
My Pilot Season/ Agency Representation Gameplan. Thoughts? by Cc-on • last post Dec 20th
Disclaimer: I am learning and this is by no means the gameplan of a seasoned actor. Just a bit of background. I started acting about 1.5 years ago. The first year I took classes and for the last 6 months ive been booking here and there. Some self-submissions and others with my agency. I don't have a large agency as I'm not located in a large market. The nearest Large market is Atlanta (3 hours away), and I've been in and out of it the last 3 months taking classes, working gigs, and visiting family there. I even did a student film over at UGA in November. Im at a point now where I believe I can move into Co-star roles, and small roles in non-union productions maybe even small roles in SAG productions. So im looking for an agent in the market. Ive read and re-read Self-management for the actor by Bonnie Gillespie( along other things), and ive gone through her videos on representations and goals to set. I've also done my research on my target shows, and I am finishing my target casting directors list as well as my target agents list. Both of which I will have complete before new years. I know my type and I am on- brand as far as I can tell and as far as I've been cast for. It took a while for all these things to come into fruition and I know agencies have closed shop for the holidays so I missed the dead period in December to submit. However, I am planning to submit to my target agencies on Jan.2nd. This means my submissions wont be drowned by backlogs from over the holiday season and they should see it relatively soon after I submit. I do know Pilot season kicks off immediately so im prepared to hear nothing back. If that is the case, ill do what I can to self-su via casting websites but I know the listings will be minimum but atleast ill be submitting. In the case I dont get any responses on my initial submissions, I plan to resubmit in April (Drop Season) with new credits. After that just prepare for episodic season. Again, im still new to the layout of everything but I wanted to talk more about how my plan sounds and your thoughts. ​ Best, CC
Covid has changed my voice by Evbory • last post Dec 20th
I'm sorry if this kind of post is unwelcome here. I'm not a voice actor but I think this community could help answer by question. I've always been soft spoken to the point it can be a strain to be heard. Now that I have covid, my voice sounds strange but I much prefer it because it travels effortlessly and my mother doesn't have to keep asking me to repeat myself (everyone's infected). Anyway, I'm wondering if I can change the way I use my voice in a way that feels natural to me that I will eventually just forget I'm doing. I didn't realize how nice it is to have a voice that carries.
Feeling like everyone can get an agent except me by maddiemarcicatherine • last post Dec 20th
I know it’ll happen when I’m ready, and if nobody’s signing me I’m clearly not. I’m discouraged right now, met a girl on set the other day that has an agent and that was her very first job, had never taken an acting class, got an agent with a self tape and a selfie. Meanwhile I’m on my third feature film booked on actors access, 4 years of acting classes, professional headshots and can’t get a single response. Really praying that once my first movie comes out January 13th and I get some reel footage I can get somewhere!! Anyways if you have an agent I’m jealous and happy for you
How to deal with unprofessionalism by HelpOk8315 • last post Dec 20th
I work a lot of student/ small budget films. And I’m alright with this usually the cast and crew is very professional and make some pretty good short films, they also take great care of the actors since usually we are there for free on our own time. I applied for a small budget student project and thought I knew what I was getting myself into since I’ve worked a lot of them but this came from left field. No crew it was one guy (this would be fine with me if everything was done professionally and organized) we film for 9+ hours in the cold without break (it takes me an hour to regulate my body temperature when I get home) and it is completely disorganized I was on set for 9+ hours when I only had 3 scenes. If this was a one day thing I’d probably get over it but it’s been almost 7 days of shoots reshoots in the freezing cold. The other actors don’t seem to mind and they’ve been acting longer and on bigger projects then me. How am I supposed to handle this I honestly have no idea how to go about this at all.

Reputable NJ/NY agents by HelpOk8315 • last post Dec 19th
Hi I’m interested in getting an agent and have a few questions. Long story short my first agent was a complete scam so I decided to find work on my own work through backstage, actors access, etc. I started acting 2 months ago and have 6 credits under my belt some background work some supporting and even a lead role. I’ve also been doing acting classes to work on my craft. I’m guessing nows a good time to look for an agent? As I have headshots reels and a lot of self tapes. I am absolutely terrified of being scammed again so I’m trying my best to research and find some reputable agencies does anyone have any suggestions for NJ or even NY agencies?? Thank you in advanced!
What do you all recommend teenage actors do? by Miserable_Target7201 • last post Dec 19th
I do drama GCSE (UK) and take acting classes for 3 hours a week but I don't have any headshots done ( I don't want to spend £200 just to have a growth spurt and look completely different on set), I don't have an agent and I live in the countryside (closest audition I could find was 90 miles away). I'm not necessarily impatient and I understand that this process can take years if not decades but if from your past experience you could offer me any advice I would much appreciate it.
Do you find actors to be over critical of themselves? by maddiemarcicatherine • last post Dec 19th
Recently had a short film I was the lead in released, I almost cried watching because I felt I did such a horrible job acting. It was my first time on camera and I was pretty nervous so I know while we were shooting it felt not great. But everyone involved that attended our premier was acting like I did such an amazing job. I can’t tell if I’m just over analyzing myself or if they’re trying to be nice.
my first time on a film set: Director doesn't know the actresses keep leaving bc the XP's "opportunities", what to do?? by Ov0v0vO • last post Dec 19th
I didn't get any help on the "no dumb questions" thread so hoping to get help here!: I think the director is unaware the exec p is the reason the female actors for their project keep disappearing; here's what's going on: low budget TV show in the making, they often need repeat extras (so the same extras to show up for multiple episodes). When I was asked to be an extra, the male director and other male actors and extras were lamenting how for some reason their female extras keep ghosting. Not even telling them they won't be back, just gone. These are paid extra gigs and we sometimes have lines. I showed up at call time the first time and the day went very long. The Director really liked me and kept giving me more screen time and more lines which was awesome. I was being dumbly courageous in sharing feedback when the Director was trying to figure out some things, and as the day wore on he started asking for my opinions on both my own and others' scenes, on very small things but still it was very cool. I hit it off with all the 'real' actors on set, who were also complimenting me on my couple of lines. The XP has a big presence on set and is involved in almost everything. I can tell he has a temper. He was watching me all day and pulled me aside and said various appropriate kind and exciting things throughout the day about my potential. By the end of the night he wanted me to get in touch with his friend in a big film producing area, ostensibly so I could get more gigs. But here's the deal, it turns out it's an MLM-like adult film consulting (not acting) gig, complete with pushy tactics, forced urgency and decisionmaking, and I overall feel bullied by both the XP and his contact from the whole thing, and very disappointed in the XPs deceptive presentation of the "opportunity." The XP offered me a bigger role in later episodes, but now I feel it is tied to this completely separate MLM crap, because he asks me for a decision on both as though they're linked, even though verbally repeatedly telling me the "consulting" has nothing to do with the current project. I don't feel I have a choice: it's either both or nothing. Here's more: it is a females only MLM, meaning no men are ever invited, so all the other males on set are unaware this is going on. They also ask you to agree to an NDA right away. I didn't sign anything but over the phone they repeatedly asked me not to tell anyone about the company. I hit it off so well with the Director and his crew and staff, it has been really bothering me that he doesn't know this is happening on his set and this is why his extras keep ghosting. The XP spoke poorly of the director to me behind his back and told me not to get involved with his network in the local film scene... so unprofessional and anyways confusing: why is he funding the project and why did he hire this director if he thinks that way? Anyhow. Just looking for advice all around. I am a longtime theater actor but this was my first experience ever on a film set, as I am thinking about doing more professional acting. Thanks for reading.
Is it true that doing background work can stunt your success as an actor? by IlIlllIllIIII • last post Dec 19th
Hi. Currently for work I’m doing bg work and I’ve heard various people say that doing bg work overall will stunt me as an actor as industry professionals will only see me as background, and I have heard others say that this is false. What are your guys thoughts?
I want to go into voice acting by Aryluxx • last post Dec 19th
Hello everyone! I have been giving becoming a voice actor a lot of thought for some time now and now I want to take the first steps. My friends have been trying to get me to go into voice acting for a while now since I can do various impressions of movie and video game characters as well as random voices of different pitches. I have contemplated it and I have been scared to start in fear of failure but I have time to start. I am turning 18 in a couple weeks so now is a better time than ever. If anyone has any tips on making a demo reel, finding jobs, auditions, starting out, or just anything in general please share because I don’t know where to start. Thank you so much and I hope I will look back on this post when I have made it.
