Guys I just read and took notes for An Actor Prepares I’m gonna be honest I’m a bit disappointed cause it got confusing at some points .. the info to me is hard to digest in some points.. I planned on reading the next stanislavski book but I’m honestly not looking forward to it. Is there any alternatives for me who is a beginner to get clear cut answers in a book?
Any greek actors here? by MoserKs • last post May 11th
I have an idea for a show... by ddkelkey • last post May 10th
I’ve been pondering and doing some research into a show about Commercials. There are so many actors that make commercials that are so much a part of our lives, and I’m trying to think of a way to tell their stories (most likely your stories,too!) I think it would look like a reality show and introduce actors and actresses going through the phases of making commercials, and include the writers who write them too. When I watch a commercial, I think of who came up with the idea for it, of writers fleshing out ideas and the actors who give it life. Each commercial is a project and it’s amazing to think of what went into them! I have zero experience writing for TV. Do you good folks think this idea has merit?

Question: is being a producer and actor a conflict of interest? by JeannaLeavy • last post May 10th
I’m an established actor but being a producer is something that I’d really love to become. But do you see it as a conflict of interest? For example, I would say being a casting director and actor is a conflict of interest, especially if you’re casting yourself. I’m not looking for right or wrong answers, just opinions here! Thank you. Edit: I know that there are lots of actor/producers out there, but many of those seem to be in the top 1% of the industry and have so much wealth it’s not an issue.

Acting degrees in Sydney by Crafty_Collar8183 • last post May 10th
Hi, I've been looking into acting schools in Aus. Is there a difference between NIDA, WAAPA and Actor's Centre in terms of BFA in Acting? Any recommendations for their short courses? If you've attended any, could you share your experiences?
Do mocap video game actors in minor roles ever find footage of their character? by CanineAnaconda • last post May 10th
I'm a working actor, mostly TV & commercials, and I did one high profile video game project several years ago (mocap and face, with voice). There was a cast of several hundred, so I'm sure I'm not the easiest to find, but after acting in several scenes (including a monologue) and recording a few hundred lines as well, I expected SOMEONE to see me (someone being gamer nephews & nieces, friends, etc). Those folks who know me have kept their eyes and ears out for me, but to no avail. I'd love to get some footage of myself just for kicks. Anyone with more experience with this have had any luck? The expansive NDA keeps me from specifically describing the scenes I was in. Thanks!
Table Readings/Running Lines? by nicejanie • last post May 10th
I'm an ex-actor and I miss it a lot. I don't have time to commit to actual performances and all the work that leads up to it but I would love the ability to do table readings or even run lines with people. Is there a way to do that? Like a group or community, I can sign up with to do it? Preferably virtual.
What are some daily speech exercises you guys do to enunciate clearly and distinctly? by mofowitdahat • last post May 10th
I would like to improve my general speech for on-camera acting and I thought I’d come to this community since Voice Actors are constantly in front of a mic and making sure they express lines clearly. I dabble with tongue twisters but I feel like it isn’t enough. Thank you guys!
UK Representation, as a European-American dual-citizen based in US by exaltogap • last post May 10th
Does anyone have any experience with or knowledge about having UK Representation as an actor based in the US? I specify with EU citizenship (I know the UK has left the EU but a lot films across Europe) because I know work-permits are always a big deal for reps. I have management here in the US but feel like I'm not being seen by UK/EU Casting, and assume UK agents would have a stronger foothold on that field (so many current projects filming out of Hungary, Czech Republic, etc...) Curious to hear any thoughts.
Feedback for a monologue for a CD audition? by doodle_day_lewis • last post May 9th
Quick background - I am a very novice actor with representation from two agencies in the midwest/northeast markets. I am primarily pursuing lifestyle modeling at this point but am still interested in day player and principal acting roles if they come around. One of my agencies is collecting one minute monologues to submit to a CD. I had some formal instruction years ago and am totally on my own right now. Any gentle feedback would be appreciated. I'm also struggling to get this thing down to exactly 1 minute. Here's a take from today. https://imgur.com/CQzvQm8
10-part amateur production performed and filmed over Zoom during lockdown. With costumes, Zoom backgrounds and the ability to do post-production (music/SFX), it's a really fun and COVID-safe way to keep acting through these difficult times. by bellowsaudio • last post May 9th
I'm in the production, but don't benefit directly from views. It's a fan-made season 2 of ITV's 'Sanditon', and while I'm promoting it elsewhere for its own sake, I thought you might like it here as an example of some amateur dramatics done despite the hurdles of remote working! Also the actor playing Charlotte is a genuine pro, and our Sidney (male lead) is a professional voice actor. It was so fun, and a welcome distraction every Sunday. Coping with time zones, costumes, accent work, Zoom backgrounds, editing; lessons learned, so if anyone wants any advice, or to generally talk about the process, DM me. Here's the 'official' press release. ***Sanditon Season 2: Parker Brothers Build the Boardwalk*** is a 10-part reimagining of the unfinished *Sanditon* story by Jane Austen, told in digital theatre form all filmed and produced by the power of Zoom. Written by Carol Lisa O’Brien, narrated by Jane Austen’s fifth great niece Caroline Jane Knight from Chawton, where Jane wrote Sanditon in 1817, and performed in the pandemic by 30 strangers from around the world. This innovative online DIY theatrical extravaganza for our times is FREE to watch on the Jane Austen Literacy Foundation YouTube channel – any advertising revenue will be used to fund literacy projects. Here's the trailer we made! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ds96NZgdzoM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ds96NZgdzoM)
My resume...hit me up for any projects by ThePureBloodIdiot • last post May 9th
So far I'm a dry child actor. I've been in about 5 musicals, a web video and an advert. To enhance my skills, I joined my lower school choir for about 4 years and have performed on many concerts, live audiences and even a music video. I've done voice over like ONCE (remember that web video). I was doing another project. A short drama reciting but Covid came and it got cancelled. I've been searching and searching for projects but as soon as I want to hit apply, I get cold feet and brush it off or you need things like a video reel, which I don't have yet. I don't think I'm ready for an agent though. Just wanted to get this off my chest.
Auditioning for closure by boltimeticgiraffe • last post May 9th
Hi! I'm a 14 year old who has always loved acting. For a long time(until I was 12), I lived in a small town that was as far as you could get from Hollywood. I've always dreamed of acting professionally. I've been the lead in school plays and musicals, but I've never done anything professional. I'm going into high school next year and I've decided I want to be a lawyer. Not because I don't want to act, but because it seems out of reach. When I was younger, I'd tell myself that I'd be in a movie by the time I was in 8th grade, that I'd be famous. I realized later, the love of acting has nothing to do with wanting to be famous. It was just the ideal, perfect reality sold to me by watching way too many interviews with child actors. Anyways, I'd become content with only doing school and community plays and was moving on from this dream when I saw that there is a casting happening for the Percy Jackson book series(my favorite by far) I match the open casting call requirements roughly enough and I had to audition. If I actually got it, I might not want to uproot my life and move to LA. That's not what it's about. It's about gettin closure on a dream. I want to be able to look back, a decade from now, and say that I tried. That it wasn't meant to be. I couldn't live knowing I didn't try.

Just a Question by LarryTheSpaceMarine • last post May 9th
I am by no means a voice actor. However i do like to make funny voices or just change my voice in general to make a joke or when me and my friends are playing a roleplaying game. I am having trouble with deeper voices as they can make me gag and even sometimes
