Acting in small States by No_Pomegranate6811 • last post Jul 18th
Hi, I’m a teen actor who lives in Ohio. I have done theatre and chorus but not any on screen acting. I am looking for a way to get an agent, however, I do not live in a main state. Does anyone have any advice for me? Chicago is only 4 hours away, so maybe doing mainly online with an agent is my best bet. Please let me know. (I cannot move since I’m still a kid)
Tourist visiting LA: is it possible to be an extra/audition on something? (for free is ok) by KutaroTheGreat • last post Jul 18th
I'll be staying around Venice (LA) next month and I thought it would be a fun thing to do to be an extra on anything that's going on at the time, or even audition for something that would take a day or a few days to film. I'm not an actor, btw. However, I probably cannot legally work there as I'm a resident of the UK and a foreign national. The good thing is that I'm not expecting to be paid, as I would do this out of enjoyment. Is it at all possible to do this?

New York classes by AceBronco30 • last post Jul 18th
LA actor here, but looking to go to NYC for a couple months this Fall. I have rep in NY, but my main purpose is to work on the craft a bit. In-person acting classes in LA still don’t seem to exist since COVID- unless you want to get into an entire program. Being cooped up for so long, I feel more in my head that in my body. Any one or two month classes in NYC that can help? It can be more theatre-driven.
Help.. by poejibberjabber • last post Jul 18th
I want to be an actor but I’m afraid of failing as one and disappointing people who support me. I never told anyone I wanted to be an actor since Im afraid to. I want to be in movies and shows. I want to be part of a cast, I enjoy acting. I just don’t know what to do, I don’t know why I went straight to Reddit. I tried asking my brother who’s an actor and he’s like get acting lessons and he’s not like go for it he’s just gonna insult me like always. I remember being jealous when seeing him in a play, seeing how fun he had. I would love to watch bts videos and interviews and imagine myself being in an interview or having fun with a cast. I’m not sure what to do
Website works on desktop but gets 404 on mobile by StarfishInASandstorm • last post Jul 18th
# 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!
Time to update my shots. Any photog recommendations in L.A. that won't break the bank for 2 looks? I've curated a handful but any suggestions/experiences would help ! by KillCroop • last post Jul 18th
If you've had an experience with any of the photogs belows or own a recommendation for a different one, please let me know, thanks! Budget: Preferably $300 or less for at least 2 looks. Ones I've found that seem decent: - [The Light Committee](https://headshots.thelightcommittee.com/actor-los-angeles/) - [Marc Cartwright](https://www.marccartwrightheadshots.com/men) - [Headshots LA](https://headshotsla.com/theatrical-headshots-los-angeles/) - [Todd Tyler](https://www.laphotospot.com/men-headshots) - [Sunshine Headshots](https://www.sunshineheadshots.com/men-headshots) - [Studio 24](https://www.studio24.com/headshot-gallery) Lastly, I'm aware of the Headshot Truck, it's one I was suggested a while ago, but most of the ones above seem better and are similarly priced.
Questions from a teenager interested in acting by birdo-crow • last post Jul 18th
Hi, I’m a teenager (15) and really interested in acting. I don’t know if I’d be a good actor though, or if it’s even worth trying. I have scars on my arms and thighs and I’m worried that if I tried to audition for anything I will be shamed and pushed aside. Is it worth trying ? Does anyone else have experience with something similar? Thanks

What's the difference between a mingling and an improvising role? by DandelionOfDeath • last post Jul 17th
I am applying as a scare actor in an amusement park for the second year. Last year I worked in a haunted house but returners can choose other positions, and two of them are 'mingling role' and 'improvising role'. Both of these are different from the 'haunted house actor' role I had last year and I assume they'll work outside in the park. The application document doesn't say what these jobs entail, though. Based on only the names, I would expect there to be some significant overlap.
What were your favorite early acting exercises, improv games, and warmups? I’m a new teacher looking to expand my repertoire. by LinkovitchChmofsky • last post Jul 17th
I’m starting a new job as a HS theater teacher in August. I’ve got about 20 years of experience as an actor, but haven’t taught on this level before. I know all the usual exercises and games: was hoping Reddit could throw me a few I hadn’t heard of/thought of before. I’ll mostly be teaching 14-15 year olds, and teaching acting fundamentals and theater history.
Do actors have problems w/ sweating? by gabealmeida • last post Jul 17th
I want to be an actor one day but it’s very easy for me to start sweating profusely with any level of activity (genetics thing.. been that way since a kid), and I was wondering if this was possibly a semi-common problem with actors that may get medicated or take supplements for it
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
