So, I watched this award video by MathematicianLeft07 • last post Dec 9th
I recently watched Joaquin P, my favorite actor\`s award video, so in this video he said one thing that confused me, he said that "We all know there is no fuckin best actor" and its just for the tv shows, so it sparked a question in my mind, Is this true that there is no greatest actor in the world, every great actor is equal or he is just being humble?
Acting in the US as an immigrant by Opening-Race6586 • last post Dec 9th
Within the past year I started taking online acting classes from American acting schools in New York and also worked with an accent coach to get rid of my German accent (I have also done theatre at school pretty much my whole life). I would love to become an actress but most movies from my country are complete bs romantic comedies with the same three actors without a proper storyline or message or really anything different or daring that would make them slightly interesting. That‘s why I would rather work on American feature films/tv shows/short films because I want to work on projects that I am excited about. What do I have to do to start an international career? (e.g. What are the steps, when is the right time to reach out to agents in america, visa, …) Thank you in advance for answers :)
Headshot-Age Range-Character Type Feedback by AutoModerator • last post Dec 9th
Use this thread to post your headshots for feedback, get info on your age range/type, find good headshot photographers, ask any questions you may have about headshots. If you are posting a DIY headshot for feedback, and not just a snapshot in order to get feedback on your age range/type/etc, it is advised that you do at least some basic research on what actor headshots look like--composition, framing, lighting. You will find a Google Image search for "actor headshots" to be very helpful for this. Non-professional shots are fine for age/typecasting; please keep in mind that one picture is a difficult way to go about this. Video of you moving and speaking would be ideal, but understandably more difficult to post. For what it's worth, the branding workshop at SAG-AFTRA recommends a five-year age range. That's inclusive, so for example 19-23, 25-29, 34-38, etc.
Actors: what gifts would like your loved ones to give you? by theshinyleopard • last post Dec 9th
Feel free to explain why. (Some might say "money", but wouldn't you feel like the gift giver didn't put any thought into their gift if they gave you money?)
Getting an agent if you moved to the US a couple of years ago by Euphoric-Tune-6997 • last post Dec 9th
Hello, so I’ve been lurking on this sub for a while and wanted to ask this question. So I’m trying to be an actor which I already started by doing student films and indie films but there is probably a not so big obstacle in the way. I wasn’t born in the US, my parents moved here when I was like 12 due to killings in my country and we’ve been staying here since then. I’ve gotten a social, work permit, drivers license, etc. i don’t have a green card yet. Now here’s where the real problem lies, will I be able to get an agent or do these still stand against my chance of getting one. I plan on moving to New York soon for more training and experience. But yeah that’s the story, do y’all think I can still get an agent with the circumstances? Cheers!

Actors Teeth by chrislabel • last post Dec 8th
How important are actors teeth? and any advice (option) I've recently had a few teeth extractions from the side of mouth so it's not super noticeable but it is if i did a massive smile or on camera. I want to wait till my gums have healed to get implants which the whole process could be 6 months to a year and then pursue acting work... Is this silly that I am worried about my image on camera? It has been the biggest kick to my confidence regarding acting.
How to truly understand your character? by actresswhowrites • last post Dec 8th
I’ve decided to start watching movies and shows analytically to see how some actors analyze their characters. Currently I’m watching The Assassination of Gianni Versace and I feel that almost half of the time Andrew’s (Darren Criss) motivations are unclear. This made me think, when playing a character who’s more unstable and doesn’t have motivations that make sense to most people or the motivations are just unclear in general, how should the actor play them? I hope this question makes sense lol
Failure Anxiety by Apprehensive-Hawk-67 • last post Dec 8th
my parents are really successful in terms of living comfortable, I am growing up upper middle class. I want to act so bad but I am afraid of 1. not being able to support my current lifestyle and 2. being a starving artist. Being an actress just seems so out of reach… any tips?
Current studying/aspiring actors who aren't vaccinated by Eureka_00 • last post Dec 8th
To those who aren't vaccinated (for medical reasons, etc.) It appears this field -like many careers- is giving the boot to many talented folks who haven't gotten the jab. How are you aspiring actors keeping your faith in pursuing this career?
I just signed up for actors access and came across something I need an answer to. If something is sag aftra can I apply to it? Am I allowed to be in it if I'm not Sag? by Nateddog21 • last post Dec 8th

How do CDs contact you after submitting on Actors Access? by coolintlkid • last post Dec 7th
I responded to a casting call on Actors Access. I don’t have representation. I know it’s a long shot, but how do CDs contact you if they want to see more from you? Phone/email? Message on Actors Access (lmao)? If they call you and you miss it, do they just move on to the next person on their list and never call you back? This is my nightmare scenario i would much prefer email tbh. Would like advice on what to look out for!
Actors Access stuck on processing? by ghostyears • last post Dec 7th
I know we're all having problems uploading to AA right now because of the AWS issues - are anyone else's videos stuck forever on processing? Can I submit a video that's uploaded but is still processing (ie. will it continue to process after submission)? Thanks :)
How do I create a demo reel without on film acting? by Micahxfranco • last post Dec 7th
Hello actors! I wanted to create a demo reel when I get headshots since I wanted to submit to agencies but I don’t have any on film acting. I’ve been doing theatre since my freshman year of high school (I’m 22 now) but none of them have been filmed except for a short snippet which is bad quality that I wouldn’t want in a demo reel. What should I do to be professional to great agencies other than having a good headshot? I am wanting to take an acting career seriously now and would love tips. What should I do for my demo reel ? I love the show Chucky the TV series so I wanted to submit to the casting agency that does that show as well as other ones I could find. Thank you!
How much do series regulars (non-leads) make on Netflix series? by lovetempests • last post Dec 7th
I’m UK based so it might be different over here. But I heard that Netflix pays a minimum of 3000 USD a week (!) for the smaller roles, and upwards of 20k for leads. I’m an actor but I’ve always been curious about salary and how that works on Netflix, as I’ve done mostly theatre.
