I read an article on Emma stone just now saying she excels and it’s apparent that she does. I am just wondering, when does an actor cross from great —> outstanding?? What must an actor do to achieve this? I always hear “they must capture the characters life” or something along those lines... but, what does this MEAN? Thanks!
I've been looking for screenwriting books and along the way, I've come across ones that teach you how to write novels. The ones I'm interested in are well-regarded but I don't really know if I'd be wasting my time with them. I'm trying to expand myself as an actor and become a better writer so I can better understand scripts I need to dissect and whatnot. Do you think novel-writing would be a useful skill for an actor to have to help expand on my screenwriting skills and script analysis? Thanks!
How do you stop thinking this? No matter how much training I've had, jobs I've done, I keep thinking I'm a bad actor.... I keep thinking.....my audition was bad.....my class scene work was bad......my representation will drop me.....wow I'm such a bad actor Do you have these same thoughts? How do you get over it?
My instagram is @alekangeloactor and will happily follow all. Also open to share any creative endeveaours which would make this quarantine better. Hope you all are well and healthy
Is it strictly business? How friendly is friendly, like can I make jokes and whatnot?
Hey! So I'm an equity actor in NYC that is now unemployed scratching my head toward what to do. My voice is pretty versatile and I'm looking at my closet and thinking of building a makeshift voice over studio. What do I need to know to get started? How expensive should my first mic be? Can I use Garageband to make my voice demos? And, like, what even is a voice demo? I want to do infomercial stuff but open to more. Is [Voices.com](https://Voices.com) the best place to look for jobs? What is branding within voice over work? I hope everyone is staying safe and thanks for the advice! (:
I'd love to know how you obtained your vouchers to qualify to join the union! (The weirder / more random the circumstances, the better!) Looking forward to hearing your stories. Thanks in advance!
Just wanting to get better and I see no reason for internet strangers to lie to bold back so, hoping this is where I can get a critique on a YouTube video I have. Ps. Actors rule!
im an actor I cant find an agent or work during this pandemic can i get 600 from cares act a week?
Hello hello, I'm looking for a voice actor to narrate a story I wrote for my best friend's birthday. She is a huge BROCKHAMPTON fan, and we actually went to their concert back in 2018 where she saw Matt Champion use his inhaler and thought that it was the most adorable thing in the world. (Weird. I know. But everyone’s got their thing I guess?). She has been in love with him since then. The moment in question: [https://www.instagram.com/p/Br5tjKfDKUx/?utm\_source=ig\_web\_copy\_link](https://www.instagram.com/p/Br5tjKfDKUx/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link) Her birthday is on April 25th. I wanted to give her something digital because I don't want to add more workload to the people working for shipping companies in this whole Coronapocalypse, so I wrote her 6000 words fanfiction. The rate would be $25 MINIMUM (Through Paypal). I am willing to pay up to $50 if you can get super close to his voice.

Looking forward to hearing from you guys.
Hi everyone! My question is geared toward Los Angles actors. Are most auditions self taped these days or are they calling in actors for auditions? \*In normal times, not under the current lockdown\* The market where I live its ALL self taped. I'm considering moving to L.A....that way I can audition for both markets at once. New to reddit and overall confused with ....everything. Haha
Hi all, Currently arranging my interview times and dates with Stella Adler Summer Conservatory. I was wondering if anyone also has interviewed there and has any tips or an idea of what they might ask. I am also a bit concerned that they don't require an audition of any sort for the summer program. Will I still be getting my money's worth or is this a means for them to gather revenue from "less traditional actors"? Any advice appreciated!!
I'm an 18y/o male from England and am currently finishing my first year of an acting degree. Due to quarantine I have a lot more free time on my hands and I want to carry on acting to try and improve and stay engaged. Are there any sites or advice I should take to find work online. I want to get familiar with the whole process of voice acting online Any help would be amazing thanks.
Are there any other places like this subreddit where actors can have conversations, ask questions, give resources etc to each other? I love this subreddit and find it super useful but I’m just curious to see if there’s any other websites for actors I may have missed.
As a voice actor who loves anime but has no experience with dubbing, how do you guys practice?
After corona ends I will probably start sending submissions to agencies. I’m a little worried. How did you sign with an agency? What do you think made them sign you?
