Should I list commercials on resume? by Yaars23 • last post Nov 19th
Just finished reading "Self Managment for Actors" in which the author writes that under commercials you should just list "conflicts avaliable upon request" as a way to show that you have done commercials, but not highlight them, as that may discourage CD's from seeing you as a theatrical actor than commercial. Thoughts? Do you list commercials?

What are some of your hobbies outside of acting if any? by jvyl2007 • last post Nov 18th
I read that it’s helpful if actors exercise regularly/eat healthy, so I’m starting to learn to cook and also looking for a new activity to do to stay active. Growing up I played soccer and in college I was a varsity rower so I love active hobbies and am looking to do/learn a new one :) What are some of your activities that you do outside of acting that might be transferable to your acting career? Ones I’ve considered so far are martial arts and dance classes
Do I need Backstage if I have AA (NYC)? by Yaars23 • last post Nov 18th
I currently have Actors Access for self submissions, and of course I work through my manager for potential roles. Should I be paying for backstage as well? I have friends who have gotten roles from it, but other friends who say AA is enough. Thoughts?

Hi guys, I'm getting ready to apply for Masters courses at Drama schools in London. I'd really like to add to my training and experience for my application so I was wondering if any London based actors on here know of any short courses they could recommend?

Where would David Mamet want you to train? by Yaars23 • last post Nov 18th
I just finished reading True and False by David Mamet which I highly recommend. He talks a lot about how he thinks most actor training is a waste. How we work on exercises/techniques which don’t really impact our work, and we’d be better off just simply being a vehicle for the text. But an actor needs to train... Where do you think one should study then? Apologies for the complicated question
Just read “Self Management for Actors”, anything out-of-date? by Yaars23 • last post Nov 18th
Just read the wonderful book Self Management for Actors—the version that came out most recently. For those who have read it, is there anything that’s changed from then to now?
What Does Thespis the origin of Thespian mean? by mrarthurwhite • last post Nov 18th
Θέσπις From [θεός](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CE%B8%CE%B5%CF%8C%CF%82#Ancient_Greek) (*theós*, “god”) and [εἶπον](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CE%B5%E1%BC%B6%CF%80%CE%BF%CE%BD#Ancient_Greek) (*eîpon*, “I said”) (aorist active form of [λέγω](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CE%BB%CE%AD%CE%B3%CF%89#Ancient_Greek) (*légō*)). So what does Thespis mean according to you my respected colleagues? Thespis being the root word of thespian (a synonym for actor). ​ EDIT : in italics *The literal meaning of the name is "inspired by god."* \[[1](https://www.etymonline.com/word/thespian)\]
actors in NYC, how did you get your first recognizable SAG credit? by Morninggview • last post Nov 18th
How do child actors do school? by Ubiubii • last post Nov 17th
I’m assuming that child actors need a parent with them most of the time, especially if they’re on set in locations far from home. Obviously they wouldn’t be able to go to school if they’re away. Does this mean they’re taught on set? (Assuming they aren’t home schooled). And does this extend to the siblings who are likely dragged along? Also for child/ teen actors who work abroad, is it legally obligated that their parents go with them or can it just be their manager. I always wondered how lots of parents do this whilst simultaneously having other children and their own careers. Surely they can’t follow one of their children around the world.
Running lines with Alexa by verybigcat • last post Nov 17th
Hello fellow actors! I've just released an app (https://runlines.me) to run lines with Amazon's Alexa. She's like a (very) patient friend who helps out if you forget a line or get it wrong. Works with an Amazon Echo or with the free Alexa mobile app. I'd love for you to try it out and give me some feedback. There will be bugs and it might not be as intuitive as it should be yet, so please be a bit forgiving while I fix and improve with your help! Thanks!

As a beginning actor, what sort of auditions should I be looking for? by zoobify112 • last post Nov 16th
Hello, and thanks for taking the time to read my post. So lately I've been really itching to act, as the last time I did was in high school, and only stopped because I hated my teacher. I'm planning on getting some training (by the way, would a 3-day intensive course count as training?) but right now I've just been going through local theatre auditions. The issue is, I feel like I would be way out of my league with a lot of the auditions I'm seeing, and don't really know where to start. Any advice?
