Got my first audition! Question about self taping by HeyKalei • last post Aug 12th
Like the title says I got my first eco cast/audition via actors access! It's a student short film and I was given an excerpt of the script, or maybe it's the full one I'm not sure. I was given three pages so should I do all three or just some of it?

Thinking of moving by mackycormacky • last post Aug 12th
Since theatre is in hibernation for the time being, I'm throwing the idea of moving to a new city. I've spent a good amount of time in the Chicago theatre scene but I'm now dipping my toes into looking at Texas or Georgia for future acting work. Anyone have good sources on how to learn about these states from an actor's perspective?

Plays in their original language vs translations? by Clueless60 • last post Aug 11th
How do you feel about performing translated versions of plays? Is it possible to retain authenticity by incorporating aspects of the culture of the original language or is it more effective to adapt it completely to a different setting? I really feel like translation usually takes away from the original text but it's not practical for actors to always perform the original due to language barriers. Having seen Shakespeare performed in my native language was a jarring experience and made me wonder if it's equally different to hear English translations of Chekhov or Ibsen or Strindberg. How do you personally approach translated works and try and make them as authentic and believable as possible?

Do actors drink or smoke for real? by Ahmed11105 • last post Aug 11th
I’ve been offered a role where the character drinks whiskey and takes a puff of a cigarette. I’ve read somewhere that apparently they replace it with something else that looks like a drink/cigarette, but the role is for a low budget short film so I don’t know if they’ll do that. I’ve never consumed either of these things and am a little nervous to do so if we actually have to drink/smoke. Anyone have any insight on this?
Should I be able to perform for family? by iovokoo • last post Aug 11th
I (14f) have wanted to be an actor for several years, and have made great progress in terms of skill. I have performed scenes and monologues in front of groups, crowds, and strangers, but I can’t do it when it’s only family members. Friends, sure. People I’ve never met, sure. Mom and dad? Nope. I’m not known for being super shy, but when they ask me to show them something I become super bashful and refuse. Is this normal or okay or should I get over it?

Two of the most well known voice actors explain common misconceptions about voice acting: 1. it's not easy, and 2. it is acting just like theater, film etc. Hone your acting skills as much as your ability to change your voice on a whim! by StorytellerAli • last post Aug 11th

Audiobook narration help by Heure-parme • last post Aug 11th
Hello everyone! I realize this might not be the right place to ask this question so feel free to remove my post if I'm in the wrong! Over the past few years, I have lent my voice to various institutions, mostly museums. Today, I would like to branch into audiobook narration, besides working as an actress. I have found quite a few audiobook companies online that require you to send them audio extracts of you reading from a book in order to apply. Unfortunately, although my previous jobs involved quite a lot of narration (I've mostly done audioguides), they clearly don't showcase my range and abilities as a potential audiobook narrator. Do you have any advice for me on what kind of novel to choose for those audio extracts? Should I go into a recording studio or can I make them at home? I know full well that the end result will be night and day in terms of sound quality but recording studios are expensive! Thank you for your help!
Non-acting looking into MFA by deetomonzta • last post Aug 11th
Hello, I'm currently a film student in a private school in southern California. I'm interested in doing MFA in theatre. I have little to no stage experience, one minor role in high school play that isn't worth mentioning. I was obese and had terrible self esteem growing up so I spent my time on other departments. But after having acted a few times on shorts that me and my friends work on, I'm beginning to be interested in acting. I like the feel of it. Plus these days many actors write for themselves so I guess I have my foot already on the writing aspect side being a film student. My question is, where do I start? Most MFA programs need recommendation letters from professionals and plethora of experience.. I'm involved in a theatre club in college and got a role once but again, this is nothing.. I auditioned for a musical theatre minor program, did a monologue, song, and 3 dances, did not receive a call back though they said they liked me and encourage me to take classes and audition again because the year I auditioned was particularly packed and competitive. Thing is, I don't know if I'm being gaslighted, probably remnants of my terrible self esteem but I don't know if people really mean what they say or do they say that to everyone. Probably the latter right? So what should I do? Should I spend my tuition in uni taking 101 classes? Should I seek help in acting elsewhere? I want an MFA in acting. I want to learn. I don't care if I'm gonna starve, I'm a film student I'm well prepped for that lol. Please, I welcome any advise. Thank you!
