How can I use acting to my advantage in the real world? by spectacularkay • last post Apr 30th
Okay so first I want to say that I'm not a professional actor and I'm not interested in theater really. But I've been really intrigued with the idea of acting lately, the way you can get in the mind of a character and become someone completely different. That is amazing to me. Anyways, i've been curious about something. I graduate high school in may and I'll admit i'm not the most confident person ever. In some situations I can find myself getting anxious and nervous. But I don't want to be that person anymore, especially since I am on my way to becoming an adult. So acting...could I use the power of acting to become confident in the *real world?* Like for instance. Using it to land jobs, to ace jobs interviews, to reduce social anxiety, or perhaps even to defend myself ? I am terrible in these types of scenarios but I have a feeling acting could help. do people even use acting for this? lol . what do you say?
Should I drop out of acting school (PLZ READ( by clarissasmith8049 • last post Apr 30th
Okay well I already did but just please read and give me advice. At first, I was really happy with my decision, but lately I’ve had some doubts. I got into acting when I was 11 because I really loved singing and the studio I was at offered acting lessons so why not? I auditioned for Disney stuff and even was in a music video (13 y/o)but that’s all the professional work I had. My mom was constantly researching agents and gigs and was always trying to get me signed or new gigs. She was always looking for teachers and the whole time, it seemed like she was more into it than me. I planned to major in acting and become an actor because that’s all I’d known and industry professionals had told me I could make it and my mom really wanted me to. Don’t want to sound vain, but I am really pretty and have a good toned body and I know that nowadays, that’s important and makes you way mite likely to get an agent or book. Now don’t get me wrong, I really like acting and performing. However, I don’t know if I’m as a passionate about it as other people. I very well might be, but I’ve never been one of those acting people who makes theatre their whole life and only talks about theatre and acting. Anyways, fast forward to acting school. The 2 years leading up to it, I had a gut feeling that it’s not what I wanted to do but I ignored it. I started school and at first I liked it fine. But then I started to become miserable in the classes. I was being treated very u disrespectfully by other kids. The thought of trying to be an actor after graduating me so anxious and so so sad and there were other things I wanted to study and do!! I spoke to my mom about this and she was concerned that I wanted to quit because i was scared of failing/being poor. And I thought about it. Yes, the actor lifestyle turns me off of it, but the main thing is quitting acting school. I was miserable in school and there are other majors In passionate about. So I told my teachers and switched majors. And I was so happy and relieved about it! I just had to finish the semester But then classes switched online. I wasn’t in class with kids who were mean. I wasn’t doing the stuff in class I couldn’t stand. I’m basically just sending in self tapes now, and since I still like acting, I’m actually enjoying. And my mom, who had been pushing me to do this since I was a child, keeps making comments that I’m destined to be an actor and I told her how when she makes comments I feel unsupported and it makes me upset, but she just got mad at me. I’m really torn. In my gut, I’ve known for a long time that I don’t want to do an acting BFA program. I don’t think I want to be an actor after graduation, but I’ve been enjoying the self tapes and my mom is making me question everything. What if this is my destiny? I’m terrified if looking back on this when I’m old and saying “I gave up because I was scared” (which my mom thought and I’m pretty sure still thinks is the case). But I also know that if i continue in the program my mental health will be shit for the next 3 years and I’ll most likely be crying the day if my graduation. And not happy tears. 18 y/o college freshman in an acting BFA program btw. If anyone read all of this, please let me know your thoughts? Did I make the right decision? Am I being swayed by my mom? Am I giving up because I’m scared? Lmk.
Headshot-Age Range-Character Type Post - Apr 30 by AutoModerator • last post Apr 30th
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.

Prompt-based weekly filmmaking festival for actors, writers, anybody! by ohnoilostmypassword • last post Apr 29th
Hey r/acting, I 'm an actor in lockdown and I've been going a little crazy. So, I created **The Sequestered: A Micro Short Online Film Festival** as a way to teach myself more about filmmaking, keep my brain and hands busy, and see inside other people's heads. It's been around for over a month, but I'm finally ready to share it with you all! We are a **free, non-competitive, weekly online film festival open to anyone** with time on their hands and an itch to create something during all this mess. We've been doing this for six weeks, and have gotten great feedback and support from amateur filmmakers, professionals, and press (I can't believe five weeks have passed already... part of the reason I created this was to help keep track of time during lockdown). ​ The Rules: * All films must be created in a week, * shot on a phone, * 1 - 5 minutes long * use the prompt * all without leaving the filmmaker's shelter-in-place location. ​ No fancy equipment, mobility or experience necessary. Some filmmakers have submitted every week but that's not a requirement- shit is crazy right now, and this should be an outlet for your stress and general existential dread, not add to it. ​ Prompts are announced Saturdays at noon ET, and films are due / screened the following Friday. This week's prompt: "familiar" If you're interested, check us out on Facebook/Instagram (/sequesteredfest), or [www.sequesteredfest.com](http://www.sequesteredfest.com/) Everything up on the site was created in lockdown, in a week, and this project has done the unthinkable- made me optimistic about the future. If anyone's interested, please keep in touch!

Moving to Santa Barbara by kcirtap93 • last post Apr 29th
I am a relatively new actor based in NYC. I was wondering if it was reasonable to move to Santa Barbara and still be able to take advantage of the acting world in Los Angeles. I realize last minute casting calls would be impossible, but, with just a couple hours between the cities (and a train) as well as the shift to some digital processes in the industry (self tapes, Zoom, etc.), is it reasonable to think it would be doable? Thoughts?
5 Tips for Actors in Isolation by ActorPlaybook • last post Apr 29th
If our career choice was a roller coaster before it now feels like the coaster has come to a screeching halt at the top of a loop leaving us dangling and unsure of how we are going to end up. First and foremost, you are not alone. As a collective, we are all in this together. So, how do we manage? How do we stay connected to our craft? How do we focus amidst all the challenges we now face? Step by step. One by one. Bad days are bound to come, but more productive days and joyful moments are out there, too. #### 1. Put down the whip and pick up the feather. If you're like me sometimes you are your own worst critic and are exceptionally hard on yourself. This is uncharted territory and we can't expect ourselves to simply "carry on" unaffected. Sometimes there are days I don't even want to get out of bed. Being one of those people who is brave enough to experience all of these feelings can be OVERWHELMING. This is why we do what we do. **We feel things. Deeply.** If you don't feel motivated. It's okay. It's more than okay. The only way out is through, so rest. Do what you can. When I feel sad, overwhelmed, etc. sometimes I pick a sad piece, an angry monologue or scene to "get it out". I create a self-tape and let the emotion that is right there simmering under the surface due me justice in my art. #### 2. Master your self-tape set-up. None of us can say for sure how this pandemic will shape our industry. What we can do is be prepared for the potential changes ahead. One of those changes might be casting leaning towards more self-tape submissions in lieu of in-person auditions. These offices might not want the additional new health risks a daily influx of actors coming and going could potentially bring. **Now is the time to perfect your self-tape set-up at home.** Practice with your lighting, audio, and backdrop. Create a pool of potential readers. Do everything that is within your power to ensure that when productions start rolling again, your tapes are industry-standard, elevated and are the best representation of you as a professional actor. #### 3. Connect with other actors. Zoom and social media have both made this incredibly easy. Like anything, there are pros and cons of both, but as actors we need feedback. **We need connection for our craft.** There are numerous online groups for actors. Do your research. #### 4. Create your own playbook. Do you have a role prep technique? Have you tried various memorization techniques for getting off-book quicker? Do you know your own emotional triggers or emotionally specific physicality? As actors, we have to be constantly learning and growing in our craft. **Our minds and our bodies are our instrument.** Honing it is a lifelong journey. Get crackin'. #### 5. Expand your mind. There are so many great books on creativity, acting and technique. Utilize this time to read some! Here is a list of recommendations to get you started: *The Art of Acting* by Stella Adler *The Intent to Live* by Larry Moss *A Challenge for the Actor* by Uta Hagen *Truth* by Susan Batson *The Artist's Way* by Julia Cameron If you ever need support in your craft, another actor to connect with or have questions about the industry, please don't hesitate to reach out. My community of actors have been a saving grace to connect with, to focus on the craft we all share a love for and to develop our skill-sets for when the industry starts to roll again. **Stay safe. Stay healthy. Do your art.** \~Jami xo

Help me I’m stupid. by moderndaymusicals • last post Apr 28th
Hi. I’m an actor and need help with getting the technical stuff set up. I want an easy preset for auditions. I just downloaded rx elements 7 and am pulling my hair out because I’m stupid. I was using audacity, but it’s not working with Catalina on my Mac now and I’m over it. I’m looking for a DAW I can use rx 7 elements with, and I want a de-Esser plugin that is good and will work with the daw. I would also like help with my levels. Trying my best here but I’m an actor and I’m stupid with technical stuff. Don’t want to sound overly edited as my room is pretty quiet. Anyone offer affordable lessons to create me something to run my audio through and help me set it up. Or do you recommend anyone. I’m not money bojangles so I’m looking for someone affordable. Know anyone?

Beginning actor and potential moves by MajorFish3 • last post Apr 28th
I'm currently based in Orange County outside LA. I have minimal university training in theatre and am looking for an opportunity to practice, gain professional training and grow. Would it be useful to stay in my area or look elsewhere (such as NYC) to build a resume and credits? I have heard about smaller markets i.e. Atlanta, Chicago etc. And I also have an opportunity to move to Orlando for cheap. I would like experience in all areas including stage although my main focus is film & TV. My boss has connections to Disney entertainment (non acting) that I could consider as a day job. My main question is, what would be the best path moving forward to start my career? How would I begin the process of gaining experience and would moving out of CA give me a better shot? I am a woman of Asian descent (20s) if that gives more information about role availability. My classmates of similar backgrounds have been using experience as an extra to get their foot in the door.
Producers looking for content? by Kyle Paul • last post Apr 28th
I've had projects optioned but never actually talked to a producer directly about picking up content. Does anyone have a good resource to find producers or production companies looking for content?
Becoming a better actor! by actordownunder • last post Apr 28th
Don’t get me wrong, I completely understand that to become a better actor you go to acting lessons, you analyse film and then the other 90% is actually ACTING a scene or whatever. However I would now like to ask a question with the comparison of acting to sport, when you are for example playing basketball, you will train a couple days in the week (acting class) and you will play a real game on the weekend (actually acting) and maybe you will watch the game after yours to see what the better players are doing ( analysing film) however a good basketballer will also train 10 hours a day doing drills and all of that to improve himself if he wants to be successful and maybe go pro. So my question is what’s the equivalent in acting? What can I do 10 hours a day to be better than my peers and actually book a gig?
