What are your unpopular opinions about online people who are famous for talking about acting/ the industry? by opalmoon12 • last post Dec 10th
I know there are a lot of people online on youtube, facebook, podcasts, etc. that are famous for discussing being an actor and working in this industry. I listen to a lot of them too, and enjoy them…but in a way I feel like I am taking blind advice, especially as someone straight out of school. Is there anyone you listen to that just rubs you the wrong way? Or you don’t always think their advice is spot on?
Is it possible to be eventually be represented theatrically by my current agency? by Dazzling_Noises • last post Dec 10th
So, I recently got a commercial agent for an agency that has several different departments such as VO and theatrical. This agency is pretty great for my area, SAG-Franchised, has had some great bookings for their clients, etc.. I was super excited that they reached out and I signed with them (a day ago) after an interview and really going through the contract with my parents lol. My question is if there was a possibility to be represented theatrically by this agency after I get some more professional gigs under my belt and make my demo reel better. I’ve only really started film acting this summer (after officially leaving my BFA Acting program due to financial reasons) with quite a few indies that make up my current demo reel. If I were to get more experience and they see me working hard, would it be possible? Or would I have to go through another process of finding a theatrical agent? I’m kinda going into this world completely blind with some guidance from teachers and actor friends—Google has been a dear friend of mine through all of this haha.

If a casting director sends me two sides when invited for an audition, should I do both or just one? by echappe • last post Dec 9th
Of course I’ll shoot both and send them in, but I was just wondering if the purpose of providing two different parts of the script was to see the actor do both or to give them the option. Thank you for your help!

Recommendations on where to get started? by Scoute248 • last post Dec 9th
Hello! I am a beginner voice actress who just got out of a voice training program, and is ready to hit the ropes. I have a full list of possible places to look for gigs, but I was wondering if there were any experienced actors here who have specific recommendations? I do not have a demo yet due to pricing, so the best recommendations would be those that do not require demos. I do, however, have a home studio. Any advice? I understand it is a very vague question, so if you are unable to provide recommendations, no worries. I figured it’s worth a shot.
Looking for a voice actor by LiveStreamHub • last post Dec 9th
Hello, I am looking for a voice actor who has a deep and energetic tone that can do Voiceovers similar to the channels linked below. You will be paid per 1000 words, starting rate will be $12.50 per 1000 words, however, there is room for an increase. Scripts will typically be 2000 words long, with multiple scripts per week (long term work). If you're interested send me some of your sample work - Josh [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wupfe30r-gY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wupfe30r-gY) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7lv5fHWVIc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7lv5fHWVIc)

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!
