Actors in Florida: Actors Assembly Zoom meeting offers free networking and free practice for anyone interested by flower-and-song • last post Jul 17th
It's not a businesses or anything, and I'm definitely not selling anything. I just wanted to say I did this a few times, and I had a lot of fun. https://actorsassembly.com I am copying and pasting from what I saw on FB here: >Any actors looking to get more practice in without paying for an extra acting class? > >Actors Assembly is a brand-new no-cost service weekly Zoom meeting where actors can practice sides/scenes from their projects and classes. Right now, we're just starting with south Florida. This isn't a class, and no one will give you feedback unless you ask for it. This is a place to run through your scene or monologue and meet fellow actors! Right now, we're meeting Friday nights at 7pm. Check out the website for an application to sign-up!
Should I put this in a resume? by BestTipGiver • last post Jul 17th
So me and my sister were both cast last minute for an over night shoot or a feature film. We were cast as featured extras where we get kicked out of a bar. The only thing is that we were the only “extras” and we are in a scene with the starring actor. He speaks to us and then we leave the scene running, but we are in a shot of the film and we get multiple angles. We don’t say lines, but we are shown in the scene. I would say we were featured roles but I want to know if I should put it on a resume, and if so, what should I have it down as?
Becoming an actor by HyperPussySmasher • last post Jul 17th
Hi, i'm not american but i speak fluent english with a nornal american accent, i'm in my late 20's and it was always the "dream" like many people to become an actor (specifically in america/hollywood etc), now my current job/background academics aren't in acting at all, but i think i can act and i've even wrote before (i've written some original stories/scritps of made up series/films if you will and even existing ones but only really just for "fun" if you know what i mean) so i'm thinking that if i want to try something for real this is kinda the time... but like i said i got zero experience in this... but i don't know if i want to take acting classes etc many actors never had that kind of background either... So what i really wanted to know is if i decide to move to L.A (i'm thinking of staying for maybe a couple years or so just to see if amounts to anything) what are really the first steps ? Trying to look for places to audition etc ? Thanks.
How Do I Audition For a Script with Several Characters and No Reader? by M4XB34RD • last post Jul 17th
Do actors voice all the characters or read only the lines for the character they're submitting for?
This enthusiastic German voice actor - really digging deep into personifying this animated character! by OatsAndWhey • last post Jul 17th
getting into acting - question about online job sites! by spicy-lemons25 • last post Jul 17th
hello! I am getting into acting and was wondering about jobs/gigs on Actors Access, Backstage, LA casting, etc ​ will some companies find me and reach out to me if they like my profile, or do I need to continually submit myself for roles? ​ I get sent lots of "extra" gigs on central casting, but I wasn't sure if those sites for mainly speaking roles were similar ​ I have done local theatre work and was in an improv group but I am fairly new to this kind of acting

What’re the odds by FewDog4155 • last post Jul 17th
I’m just curious to know what are the odds that an actor stars in a leading role in a major role as their first movie ?
Should I reapply or try somewhere else? by Peachyqueen96 • last post Jul 16th
Hi. A few months ago I applied to Uarts for acting and I was rejected. My grades are great and my audition went well (so I thought). They obviously don’t give you any reasons why but I think it is because I did not have much acting experience. Is it worth it to try and reapply the next semester? I am currently at a university doing theatre gaining experience but I want to go to a performing arts school where everyone is into art. The school I am at now just has a small performing arts department. I’m determined to be an actor and I know don’t have to study it in college but it is what I want to do. Should I reapply or try other performing arts schools? I feel like if I didn’t get into a school like UArts w a 76% acceptance rate then my chances for anywhere else are pretty much slim to not a chance at all.
Trouble with monologues by Star_Knight0609 • last post Jul 16th
Hey guys! I’ve been an actor for some years now, went to college for it and everything, so I’m no noob, but I’ve always struggled with finding monologues for auditions. Now I know how to find just A Monologue, but I want something I can resonate/connect with, something personal. So, if anyone’s willing to give recommendations, I’d love to tell you guys a little bit about myself. I’m a white, cisgender man, just turned 23. I grew up in a (mostly white and religious) small town in Oregon, raised by my parents who got divorced when I was 13. In high school, I found my love for acting, and eventually figured out that I’m gay. I’m very proud of that aspect of myself, but it doesn’t go without the cognitive dissonance from being raised in a religious family/community. (I’m an atheist, if you couldn’t tell) After high school, I moved to New York and went to school for performing arts! Got my degree in acting and here I am. So, with that information, I’d love some monologue or play recommendations. Dramatic or comedic, period piece or modern, doesn’t matter. Thank you in advance! (I also love to play dungeons and dragons if that sparks any ideas)
Can a Visible Sikh become an Actor? by MaybeSea9158 • last post Jul 16th
Currently during this summer, I have been watching many tv shows and movies and got me thinking about if it is possible for a visible sikh male to become an actor in Hollywood in any role such as the lead or a supporting character. I know having a turban is a big hurdle to overcome to becoming an actor in Hollywood, but wanted to know the possibility for one to get a sikh or non-sikh specific(general) role and be successful.
Website works on desktop but gets 404 on mobile by StarfishInASandstorm • last post Jul 16th
Posting here because the forum for the dreaded Weebly is a little dead. I was hired to do a redesign of an actor's website (on Weebly which I wouldn't have chosen but it's what it's) and it's working perfectly on desktop and mobile but is getting 404 on mobile. I can design things well from a visual point of view but I'm trash at troubleshooting problems like this. SSL is enabled. Any troubleshooting tips or weird things to check for getting to the bottom of it? Thank you all!
I want to become a child actor, but don't want to miss too much school or school sports. by Thin-Yogurt-4044 • last post Jul 16th
I want to become a child actor. I live in Montana. Want to act for Netflix. Don't know how it'll affect my life. I also don't want people to be jealous of me. I have friends and I would call myself pretty athletic. How would acting affect my life?
Can anyone explain to me how residuals/fees work? by PFTETOwerewolves • last post Jul 16th
1. So you get money when your film/tv show is sold or screened. Is that everyone, even the extras or just the stars/regulars? 2. Is it forever and does it increase or decrease over time? If the actor dies does their family inherit these payments? 3. As a regular on a show, does your pay automatically increase over time or do you have to renegotiate your contract? 4. What percentage do you get? I mean is it big money or just a symbolic amount? 5. If you're a writer and you create a character do you get paid whenever that character appears, even if it's someone else writing?
How much should I charge as an experienced acting coach? by Bobble_83 • last post Jul 16th
I (22f) am a professional actor who has been acting for over 14 years and teaching for roughly 3 years. I'm currently teaching a few classes at a rate of $25AUD an hour. I've been offered $50 an hour by another institution (with the potential of growth depending on performance) but due to distance it wouldn't be worthwhile. I have roughly 10 students per class who pay $40-$45 per class. My class numbers are also growing because they shut down the classes on days I don't teach as everyone wanted to move to my classes. I know I should be paid more because I am a very accomplished actor, I have great student retention, and everyone expresses how much they like my classes. For context: When I first started I was paid $300AUD for a 3 half-day holiday program ($20 an hour). Then, my boss asked me to 'volunteer' until he thought I was ready to start officially working there. A year later he offered me $25AUD an hour which I've been on now for nearly 2 years. I knew from the get go I was being taken advantage of, but I was really invested in building up my teacher resume. Even now, I still don't think he realises how well trained and regarded I am and still tries to teach me how to turn a camera on. Essentially, how much should I charge per hour as an acting coach? (Also, I have to stay in studio for 1.5 hours between classes as some students do 2 classes a day and wait in the studio. I currently am not being paid for this, should I charge for this?)

hi im new to acting and kinda wanna start doing it, but i have a few questions by Blueplays64 • last post Jul 16th
so i just watched stranger things and just finished it awhile ago. and for some reason, im kinda inspired to also be an actor. like its cool being in a movie/series and people love it and it looks fun to be on set and meet new people. but, im kinda curious, can you learn how to act without going to acting school? i mean, theres a lot of videos out there on the internet. and, if someone wants to go act, but is still also a student, how would that work? would there be like a teacher on set? is the teaching there good?
improv by ashykloudz18 • last post Jul 16th
When an actor is improving for a scene, do they have to ask the director to improv, or can they do it without verification?
How can I stop comparing myself to an actor friend who auditions for the same roles as me by orbiscity • last post Jul 16th
We're both Asian American actors and I've noticed that she would get the roles that I would audition for all the time. I know I shouldn't compare but its hard not too...
