Actors who struggle with accents, how do you learn them? by monsow • last post Nov 8th
I struggle with accents a LOT. I'm currently paying for private classes which are really helping, but they are incredibly expensive. I've tried most of methods of learning on my own, such as shadowing, recording and listening, etc. The problem is, I simply cannot hear whether I do something right or wrong so working on my own isn't very helpful. Was wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation and has any advice?
Close to giving up with this, literally getting nowhere. by bustergaming777 • last post Nov 8th
Sorry for sounding like a wet wipe, I just feel like this is the best place to share my thoughts. I’m a white 30m from the UK, I have an agent who as far as I know regularly submits me for work, have an up to date showreel and recently got new headshots. However I am literally getting nothing at all come through, I look on Twitter and there are always posts of actor from different agencies getting regular self tape requests from well known CDs and it makes me feel like I’m not doing enough. I’m trying to think maybe I need a new agent or reach out to CDs myself. My current agent as far as I know just submits me, other than that we never really communicate. I also make my own work and have produced two short films and writing another. Just no idea what else I could do.
Has anyone noticed the amount of UGC castings on Backstage? by dragonburger • last post Nov 8th
I was going through Backstage and the ratio to actual film/tv/theater projects to UGC (or User Generated Content advertising) notices is staggering. I get that social media advertising is a cash cow for many, but they usually are exclusively Non-Union and some of them even require you to shoot most of the material yourself. So I guess on top of acting we all need to be cinematographers now
Going to be an extra for the first time ever! by Imaginary-Border1531 • last post Nov 7th
So, I’m new here. I’ve done a little reading on this sub and it’s been so helpful and informative. I’ve always dreamed of being an actor, but circumstances just didn’t allow it. However, I applied to be an extra on the movie The Bikeriders, filming in Ohio. I was so excited when they said yes! I’m a little nervous, this being my first time on a movie set. Any advice? Also, I applied through a post I saw on the D. Lynn Meyers Casting Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/LynnMeyersCasting Just want to make sure this is legit? All of the correspondence has been super professional and looks legit. But this being my first time, I’d want to make sure. TIA!

Are these "not booking, I help actors book role after role with my masterclass" coaches legit or fake? by Pearlsgalore • last post Nov 7th
I see this all the time where coaches claim they have the secret to get you booking auditions, but I've heard mixed things about this... For example, Actor A gets auditions through his agent, he just hasn't booked yet because he has a very unique look that CDs are trying to fit perfectly into a role. Actor A auditions and books the role after taking the class, so the coach claims it was him that got him booked when it might have just been a coincidence and he would have booked it anyway. On the other hand, I have no doubt some coaches really push actors to do the best performance they can, but I also know as someone who's been in the industry for a long time that you can have an outstanding performance, but that still doesn't get you the role because there are so many factors that are out of your control like height, hair color, weight, etc. Sometimes also how you look alongside the person that was cast as your love interest or family member, and you have to look like you believably are related to them. I personally have studied with a lot of acting coaches who seem to piggyback on the success of other actors, and they make it seem like it was their coaching, but one time this one guy (can't say name), said he taught this one actor who later booked a guest star role on a major show. I had said actor on Facebook and asked him out of curiosity and he said he didn't like acting coach and was confused why he was claiming it was because of the class he booked it. The actor said the audition he related to a lot and he was able to bring out a ton of emotion due to a past experience and booked it that way. He also said he didn't believe a lot of the acting coaches advice was completely accurate and had studied with way better coaches after. Just looking for opinions here because I feel it's hard to tell, but anyone have any insight on these? I also know actors who have spent hundreds on acting coaches who had showcases of people booking co star and guest star roles on shows, but then the person didn't book anything after taking their class and stopped taking it, to then book a co star role on their own a year later. Edit: in the title, it meant to say "not booking?"

For the first time, I got my part cut from a script by jorleeduf • last post Nov 7th
I booked a small part in a movie with an A-list actor, I was going to be traveling tomorrow for filming, and I got a message from my agents a few hours ago saying that casting informed them my part was cut from the script. :/ Sucks. Oh well… I guess that happens in this industry. Life goes on

I’ve been acting for the last 2 years (mainly bg) and am at the point where I want to start a loan out company. I’ve started other companies before, but never for acting. I wasn’t sure if the production’s required general liability from the loan out companies.
How do actors not let some roles consume them? by jelly_jellooooo • last post Nov 6th
I was wondered when studying acting how do actors not let roles they portray effect them? Some roles can be very consuming and require such emotional intensity, so how do actors protect there own mental health when portraying these characters?
Question for actors and aspiring actors by UlysseesYou • last post Nov 6th
During your childhood years, did any of you display an inclination towards acting out/recreating scenes of your favorite shows, movies or characters from television or film? I don't mean in a professional sense whatsoever, more so just a kid in the backyard with his or her imagination 'acting' away without a care in the world. I use to do this a lot as kid, imagining myself fighting aliens or even sometimes being the alien! [View Poll](https://www.reddit.com/poll/ynlp1v)

Tips for parents of child actors? First steps? by Kooky_Order_9688 • last post Nov 6th
My 14 year old daughter just auditioned and got a role in a major motion picture - this was her first ever audition with no practice or lead up. She beat out 363 people for the role… Saying all that to ask, what now? We are running into issues with school attendance due to filming and will likely need to withdraw her if she wants to pursue this. Do we need an agent or do we just keep an eye out for open auditions? (Where do you find them?) I am looking into getting a professional headshot but what else is necessary? Talk to me like I know nothing - because I truly no nothing about this and want to be able to help her for any future roles/auditions. Thanks so much in advance.
