How late is an evening shoot? by topic_discusser • last post Jul 19th
Hello! I am not an actor whatsoever but a friend from college, who runs a production company, messaged me and my boyfriend about small, non speaking roles in a feature film. We figured why not, and are getting paid! She said it would shoot in the evening, and gave us the date. Now, I don’t know much at all about the film business so I’m not sure if the following is typical / professional for the industry. We didn’t find out the exact time for filming until today (filming is tomorrow at 10pm). The AD said filming might go until 2 or 3 in the morning. Now, to me that’s not evening. But maybe that’s what an evening shoot means in the industry. Just wish I would have known it could go so late. Not a huge issue because we can pick our usual work hours- still would have liked to know. Is this kind of thing pretty standard though? Also, would love any more tips for someone who hasn’t done this before. Thanks!

Acting/Theatre Superstitions by clawhammer-cat • last post Jul 19th
Frankly, I love how superstitious actors can be. Our habits and rituals all tell a great shared history. What are your favorites? What are superstitions/little rituals you think are lesser known, or more local? Got any ghost stories? My favorite popular superstition is to always leave a light on, eg the ghost light. Once, on a dark and stormy night, I was in a theater where the power went out, including the ghost light, and the space WAILED until I turned on a flashlight. True story.

Weird Teeth Related Question by S_Gertie • last post Jul 19th
So I have been watching a lot of B-movies lately and one of the things I am noticing is how perfect and bright white many of the actors' teeth are. Like the character will be a rugged dude who lives in the mountains alone and they will have these perfect gleaming chompers. Actors in A-movies also have nice teeth, but they don't seem to pop on camera so much since they aren't so snow-white. Other than films like the Pirates franchise where teeth of characters like Jack got blackened, it doesn't seem to be a makeup thing. So, it made me ponder: Is the issue more that the A-movies are editing down the whiteness levels of teeth so they don't show so much? Or is it that the B-movie actors in what I am watching are over-whitening their teeth? Hopefully this doesn't cause people to stress over their own teeth. Only thing I guess is that if you do whiten, maybe stop before you get to printer-paper white. Especially if you are playing grittier roles.
What can I do in this next decade? by Cold-Handle-827 • last post Jul 19th
So I am currently a 16 year old tuning 17 in 2 months. I have absolutely no acting experience but plan to take at least one class before I turn 17. I know this all depends on how lucky you can get or whatever, but what can I do in this next decade of acting? Preferably before I turn 30. Will I be cast as the main star in anything, will I have background roles, small lines, or will I get nothing as an actor in this next decade. And what age do most actors make their big debut?
[OC] What it's like living in LA as a "transplant" actor and stand up comedian by misc412 • last post Jul 19th
what do you wish you were doing right now to help benefit your acting dreams? by MaveInfinite • last post Jul 19th
I just want to hear what people wish they were doing and if they have any plans for it. Myself, I have about three things that are always on my mind. 1. Making a short film and submitting it to festivals. I swear, there is nothing harder than making something from nothing. Even getting a small team to come together is making my head hurt. And then there's no guarantee a festivals accepts whatever project you just put your heart, soul, and 1000s of dollars into. 2. going out and doing stand up. I think with my look and interests, stand up is a good way of getting my foot in the door. Many actors have come from stand-up..I just cant find it in myself to go out and perform...how people do it boggles my mind. 3. being a content creator..tik-tokers or whatever catch a lot of hate but honestly, them doing what they do takes guts, just like stand-up. I guess overall putting yourself out there for the world to see will never be easy in any form. I'd love to hear thoughts of other actors on what they wish they were currently doing.
I might be interested in acting in the future, but what happens at the beginning when you just start? by Starfox_2020 • last post Jul 19th
I dream of acting from time to time. It started off when I watched Captain Marvel behind the scenes and I thought, this field might be fun, wearing costumes, hanging you on ropes across a green screen and doing stunts. If I was that interested, I might take a 6 month training program after I finish college. My college degree is security for a safe job, but if I had a potential for success of being an actor, I can always switch. What tips do you have for someone who's having interest, but is not yet engaged in any sort of activity related to acting yet?
looking for some advice as a non-voice actor who will be doing voices for a voice actor (in training) by i_needahero • last post Jul 19th
So it's my hubby's (who is in training to be a voice actor) birthday coming up and I'm planning on doing a DnD session for him. I've been practicing doing voices in secret when he's at work but I have so much trouble holding the voice when I have to speak for a long time. I'm also female and would love some tips on making my voice sound deeper for doing male voices, without it sounding silly. He loves when I do voices for him, even when they're not very good, but I'd really love to impress him with a voice. The main voices I'm trying to work on are kind of poncy wizards assholes, one evil, one who's just a bit up himself. They're both well spoken too, so I am having a bit of trouble making them sound different enough. I know this isn't the normal kind of post on here so I hope this is something yall don't mind helping with! Any help would be so greatly appreciated!

How did you get your theatrical agent? by Actingchick1234 • last post Jul 19th
Hello! So I’ve been working on making myself marketable to agents for the past 3 years, and really thought that I would be a catch with all of the work I put in. I managed to get two commercial agents with referrals from some actors I met on set, but have heard total silence from theatrical agents in New York and Philly when I cold submit. How did you get your agent?? Looking for stories to inspire me or help me think outside of the box, but I would love to hear it all!! For context, I have: -New headshots with 7 different looks -A 2 min demo reel, whittled down to my best work. -15+ indie feature film and short film credits, with upcoming roles booked -7+ commercials/industrials, some of which were for well known products. -training: a minor degree in theatre performance from my university, I am currently an advanced student in a meisner training program, and I’ve taken many more commercial, scene studies, etc. classes outside of this -some casting director relationships within the mid-Atlantic region. I got to audition for a supporting lead in a tv show coming to Apple TV because of this. -I have vocal training and play 5 instruments -Musical theatre experience as well My career feels like it’s stalling because at this point I’m not gaining much by repetitively doing local indie projects, but I can’t reach the higher projects without a theatrical agent! A big thank you for any and all advice.
Doing what scares me, mixing it up... by maxdurden • last post Jul 19th
Hey folks, I took a forced back from my acting class a few months ago (cause ya boy poor as fuck). During this time, I did some soul searching, and I'm considering putting traditional acting classes on the back burner, and finally taking official improv or stand up classes. I've been in acting class pretty consistently since acting school 11 years ago, and I done a ton of comedic acting in projects over my career. Improv and stand up scare the fuck out of me, because I've had some really shitty experiences with improv class in the past. This was largely stemming from gatekeeping and the insistence that "improv" is a whole acting school as opposed to a tool in the tool belt. The industry puts, IMO, WAY more importance on improv than is really necessary or makes any sense. Also, I'm not looking to be a career improv actor that just lives at the improv theatre (we all know the type). That would hold me back. I'm looking to add the tool to the tool belt so that I can be more of a threat when I'm asked to improv in auditions and projects. My PTSD stems from the fact that I REALLY don't do well in cliquey groups, and I have to avoid that for my own mental health. I need kindness, perspective, and openness, without the myopic, insular culture that these groups sometimes create. I have just had to admit to myself that I'm too empathic and sensitive to be able to keep up in that environment. It takes too much out of me and I get into a really dark place. That being said, I think have been using all of this as a bit of crutch to avoid pushing myself to hone my improv and comedic skills. While I am pretty good at comedy, I think not having that rigorous training is holding me back from being really consistent and having a firm grasp of my own comedic voice. All in all, my goals are to focus my improv so that I can not just use it in comedy, but in all my acting. And stand up is something I want to do to create heat and meet folks, as well as help with my anxiety I mentioned earlier. I have a fair amount of material, just need to work it. I'm based in LA, and a friend of mine that is a very successful working actor and coach in town told me that UCB is good for gaining tools to use in all genres, while Groundlings is good for character work. I wanted to get folks' that have taken from these school's thoughts on this, as well as any other schools that are good for more sensitive actors that don't do well in cliquey groups. Any stand up workshops that you guys have taken from that you like would be appreciated too. Thanks for you time!
