New actor trying to find an acting studio. I have some burning questions! by iliiililillilillllil  •  last post Jul 10th

Hi everyone, I am new to acting (been taking a class) and I was looking into acting programs I could join. One I was looking into was a program from Tom Todoroff in NY. The program is 2 semesters from September to May and is $17,400. * Is this price normal for such a program? * What is the difference between taking a classes at a studio where you go once a week and pay about 200 a month, and a full program such as this where you are paying almost 10 times more * They say I would get a "Diploma in acting". What does that mean? * Would I be better off going to a bachelors/masters based acting program? * Should I go to a school in NY or LA? I am much closer to LA, so would that be smarter? Does going all the way to NY have any benefits?

How would you list and credit a music video on a resume? by Sawyer-1989  •  last post Jul 10th

So I was recently in a music video and now that's it's out I want to put it on my resume but not sure how. First how would I list it? Normally on resumes, I've seen they have Television, Film, Web Series, Animation/Video Games, and/or Theater. Would I list it as its own category or under something else? Also for credit, I was officially credited as "Kisser #1" and when cast it was listed as a "Supporting" role. I didn't say anything but had multiple close-ups and a couple of *muted* scenes with the lead actress leading up to a kiss. Would I just put "Supporting" or "Feature" or "Kisser #1" or... I'm just not really sure. Any help would be great.

Feeling alone in the industry by ch4oticgood  •  last post Jul 10th

Does anyone else deal with becoming friends with other actors and as soon as you aren’t actively seeing each other they just move on? Like the amount of people I’ve known that just unfollow me or whatever as soon as they book something is depressing. I do my best to support every actor I meet. Being there to cheer them on until they decide they don’t need it anymore. It just feels really shitty when no one else is willing to do the same for you

Actors, Scars, and the Film Industry by Imnewhereokay1  •  last post Jul 10th

When I was born I had a congenital heart condition and had to have a pacemaker. I've had a total of 9 surgeries including open heart surgery. I'm female, 23 years old. Ive been acting for 13 years. Growing up I was very self conscious of my surgery scars. I was shy and struggled with being different then everyone else. I started acting to help me regain my confidence and put myself out there. I immediately fell in love with performing for tv and film. I haven't been in any big productions or anything and I don't have a big agency I'm signed to. Ive never seen anyone like me in the film industry. I sometimes wonder if Hollywood would be accepting of me. Im pretty sure my scars can be covered up with makeup, but I still fear I won't get represented by an agent or get a big time role because of it. I don't know...I feel like Hollywood has come around to the body positive movement. What thoughts do you have on this? Please be kind, Thanks!

Thinking of signing up to Jo Kelly’s 33 Day Reset Program by KrotaWolf  •  last post Jul 10th

If anyone’s interested in doing the buy one get one free offer with me and splitting it, comment down below. And anyone who’s done the program I would love to hear you thoughts and feedback from it. I’m a 21 year old actor and since the pandemic has hit I haven’t really had any work and feel like i’m struggling to keep my acting skills active if that makes sense. Just feel rusty. I haven’t done any academic acting courses. But I’ve went to numerous classes and read different books. Primarily i’ve learned Strasberg and Adler techniques and done a bit of Meisner but I would like to move towards more instinct based techniques.

Advice for someone who has never acted by arm214  •  last post Jul 10th

Hi everyone! Welcome my first Reddit post ever!!! (Yayyy) I’m 21 (m) and have a dream to perform in front of a camera. I started thinking about acting when I was a junior in high school because my mom made me attend a Disney audition thing. (which ended up being a total scam. You have the option to choose to go to an acting camp for well over $1000 so I didn’t go LMAOO) Basically during the audition I was given a short script and had to act it out with the director of the program in front of a small audience and Peyton List. Afterwards they would read out the numbers that we were given and if we heard our number we would be given an opportunity to go to the callbacks. At the callbacks I acted out another script with the director and made it through. Like I said earlier, the whole ordeal was a scam by Disney but that was when I realized I really enjoyed acting. Afterwards I started to really analyze and appreciate the art of cinema. One of the biggest regrets in my life was not doing theatre due to stage fright and looking back on it now, was probably a stupid reason to hold myself back. Fast forward to freshman year of college, I go in as a pre-dental major thinking I should just have a medical profession because all my friends from high school are doing that kind of smart people stuff and are going to make six figures after they graduate. I soon realized that it was not for me, and after failing my first semester of college, I decided to switch to an undeclared major. I started taking electives and my favorite ones were improv and world cinema. Fast forward to today. I’ve come to learn that I hate school and don’t think it’s meant for me right now but maybe in the future. I still love cinema and still want to be an actor. My girlfriend supports me 100% and shared the passion for the art (she wants to be a set designer in the future). Here I am not even close to getting a degree, working a shitty job having to pay rent and tuition debt, and feeling like I let my parents down. I want to do what makes me happy. Any advice? Thanks everyone! :)

Actors that can turn on emotions to preform, can you turn off emotions that come up organically? by foxwolfpew  •  last post Jul 9th

For example: an actor can ball tears, act infuriating mad or put on an emotional face for theater.. im assuming can turn it off? <is this even correct? > if something happened in real life that made you cry or out of control emotionally.. can you turn it off? is there a difference in control? what's the difference? How do you manage in a high range of emotions on demand? does that effect your life off the job?

Moving to Chattanooga (2hrs from Atlanta) by PassageWorth6508  •  last post Jul 9th

I'm sorry if this has been discussed recently, I know there's a subreddit but it's from 3 years ago. I am currently a working actor based out of San Francisco. My husband has a new job in Chattanooga, TN which is a 2 hour drive from Atlanta. I'm trying to figure out if this would be a good career move to be near a large acting hub like Atlanta or should I be prepared for it to be a set back? I'm mostly curious about agents, casting directors and finding work (versus classes, headshots, reel footage). Thanks!

Maybe I'm good for it by Ikswoslaw_Walsowski  •  last post Jul 9th

I think that I have a very strong voice, good hearing for minor details and ability to improve. How do I become a voice actor? The only experience I have is repeating ads for fun.

Others hating on you for becoming an actor....(hypocrisy found,lol) by Royal-Ad-3535  •  last post Jul 9th

In life, quite a few people base their lives/conform to what they see on television. Some get their attitudes from movies (try to be like a certain character in real life), and some just find their only time to truly relax is when watching movies/TV shows But what's funny, is that, even till this day, those same people are very critical/judgmental against people choosing a career in acting versus having a "normal/common" job... It just dawned on me today that it does not matter what age they are, people of all ages still criticize/look down/laugh at you for wanting to be an actor, but then turn around and binge-watch Game of Thrones/sons of anarchy/the walking dead....**Do these people think actors are holograms and not real people that are going on auditions trying to get the role?** Again, the hypocrisy from others that are hating on you for becoming an actor is just unbelievable sorry, I know just realized this today, I'm sure you knew this for years. But I still would like to see what you have to say. So let me know your thoughts. Thanks

Did small part actors on big budget films have small percentage for royalty or VHS/DVD sales in their contract? by BGLAVI22  •  last post Jul 9th

Was it, is it standard? Just in case the film hits. Most don't. Example would be the group of actors in Biff's gang in Back To The Future. Whenever on TV was always curious if they received residuals. Also 1985 was the boom for VHS sales. BTTF probably made another 50-100 million on this.

How to inspire people as an autistic actor by FurmidableCat  •  last post Jul 9th

Long story short: I am an autistic actor and I want to inspire people like me but I don’t know how to let my autism shine. I am an autistic actor (25F) and since I have gotten my diagnosis last year, I have been trying to learn more about autism. I found out there are very few well known autistic actors in my province (Quebec, Canada), most of them are men, and many others are not open about it even though they told me in private that they are also autistic. I have been discriminated in the industry. A university teacher told me that he « didn’t want me in his program and the whole group didn’t have to endure me » (he was later fired for sexual harassment) and an another acting teacher said my autism was a « problem » and a « disease » and the « reason » why I am not working as much as I want. By the way, except for those two (and another bully teacher who everyone agrees is a bully) no one ever complained about my autism. I want to be a good role model for people with autism because but I don’t know how. I can’t even get casted as an autistic character because I don’t « look autistic » enough. The only acting school focused on people with autism in my province can’t help me because I am « too advanced » (in acting) for their program. Organization who encourage diversity in the media only focus on cultural diversity. Organization who help autistic people mostly focus on people who need more support than me. How can I show that I am proud of being autistic as an actor and one day become an inspiration for people like me who don’t have any role model? (I work as a host too, if it can help)

Small mental tip by I_am_u_as_r_me  •  last post Jul 9th

I used to be an actor, made a living at it. I chose a different direction though considering going back now that I am back on the west coast. That said I see a lot of posts here and was telling a friend a lesson I learned in acting and in life and thought I would share. Producers, Directors and Casting Directors are nobodies. I used to treat them like gods and would be so nervous around some because they are the gatekeepers and so worshiped in our industry and many take advantage of this. I have had PA friends get drinks in their faces from high profile directors because they got their order wrong. I am in sales now, in the tech world. Producers have been replaced with CEOs. I see the same thing with colleagues talk about tech start up gurus and CEOs as untouchable gods they worship. I mention some of these other directors and producers in film and TV and they shrug. To them, those are just people doing a job they aren’t interested in. When I tell my film friends and acting friends about CEOs and the tech world they zone out. The point is, you create this nervousness and this fear. You are no different then them and other industries and environments don’t actually care about them other than an autograph or funding investment for some cause. If I could go back and really hammer this home to my younger self I wouldn’t have been as afraid and taken some crap that I did along the way. You are worth just as much as they are, have every right to be where you are and want to go. They started out as nobodies just as some of you may be. Now when I walk into a room with a CEO of some big tech company or some Producer of a film, I remind myself, to the tech world this person resume is nothing impressive and to the film world this tech resume isn’t impressive or whatever industry. Treat yourself with grace and love and encouragement, and in doing so treat others with that same respect but let go of the worship. Good luck!

I got the part but now I'm regretting it.. by Ok_Sheepherder_9467  •  last post Jul 9th

Hello actors! I landed a role I wanted for a small production and long story short, after several outdoor rehearsals in the extreme heat and rain I am exhausted mentally and physically. The cast and crew are nice but I'm not really thrilled about how our rehearsals are planned. Also the actor who's supposed to play my love interest is awkward with me and I tried to break the ice with conversation but it just keeps getting weirder and weirder
