Don’t Give Up by Mark-St-Cyr • last post Nov 3rd
15 years ago, I dreamed of being an actor on a major TV show. I sat in a hospital after surgery and watched soap operas to pass the time. I studied the actors on screen and mouthed their lines after they said them. I Imitated their facial expressions. When I got back in school, I was inspired by a thespian girl to join my local Arts Academy. After doing high school theater for two years I decided to study acting at Elon University because when I visited, it felt like a place that believes in dreams. On the drive to college for freshman year, I would tell any and every adult who asked me what I was going to school for that I was going to be a professional actor. I was claiming it, even though I had no proof yet. This weekend felt like “proof” has arrived in major form. We premiered the first two episodes of “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series” at the Walt Disney studios. On November 8th, y’all finally get to see the first episode on Disney Channel, Freeform, and ABC. On November 12th the show launches with the new streaming platform, Disney Plus. There’s no such thing as “overnight success.” The 16 year old version of me didn’t think it would take this long. I considered quitting several times over the last 15 years. I literally called my Mom and talked about quitting the week before I sent in my self tape for High School Musical. But instead I sent in a self tape, presumably into a void never to hear anything again. Except this time, I did hear back. Now a year from sending in that tape, we’re airing the first episode of the show. Don’t give up on your dreams my friends
Any fellow actors sick of hearing this from exes or current people you’re dating/in a relationship with? by gypsyloveletter • last post Nov 3rd
So when I disappoint someone I’m with, break up with someone I’m with, the person I’m with is being irrationally jealous or possessive whatever what have you blah blah blah. Do you get the or have you gotten the “wow, you really are a good actress.” (Or actor) Simply because they don’t believe you or because you’ve ended the relationship or whatever? I get they’re angry. But I’ve legit had 3 serious exes use that term and my current BF just said it last night because he was convinced I have a crush on his friend and I don’t. And I told him exactly why I don’t. Please tell me I’m not the only person who gets this? Like hey, please don’t use my profession as a weapon against me just because you’re angry or irrational or jealous or whatever? Not cool. So all actors are full of shi* and never to be trusted? Sure, I’ve used acting to get out of a ticket or two. When I was little to maybe get my way with my parents, like being 7 and wanting candy or attention. But never with friends or people I’m dating or family. People I love. I don’t “act” my way into or out of things. It’s just offensive. And I’m sick of that line they seem to think is so clever and original.

Sorry if this question is dumb, how do I make a post on LA CASTING to look for talent for my next shortfilm? by tommyknockers26 • last post Nov 3rd
I'm looking to hire an actress for my next short film. I'm already on La Casting as an actor, I'm mostly looking for a way I can make a post actors can submit to for my next short film.
I have a "good" problem but not sure what to do. by silkk8 • last post Nov 2nd
So I just received some reel footage, and I was stoked because I could finally follow up with some of the managers I've met at seminars and others who allow online submissions. There's one manager that I had been emailing back and forth with sporadically but she hadn't gotten back to me in a long while. But I sent her a follow up email with my reel anyway. Literally the next day she contacted me and offered me a contract to sign! She gave me a copy to read over before signing, but I'm under the impression that she would like to get things started pretty soon. Which is awesome, but I had just submitted/followed up with several managers the previous day (no other responses yet). I don't want to keep this manager waiting since she's already expressed interest, but would that be jumping the gun too early? For what it's worth, I know she is legit, as she has signed clients on the co-star level up to series regular level, which I've verified on IMDB. Not asking for any upfront money or any major red flags like that. I would say some of the other managers I've contacted may be "bigger" names but I'm happy to sign with someone who wants to take a chance on a less seasoned actor (I have training and credits, but no major network bookings yet). The contract is for 2 years. I told her I'd read it asap and get back to her, but should I wait this out?
Getting into acting by Headchogg • last post Nov 2nd
So I've been thinking about getting into acting for a long time now, but I just don't know how. I've had no experience acting and I'm only 15 but I want to make it to the big screen. I don't know how auditions work, or much about anything to do with becoming an actor so help is very much appreciated.
TAPNYC is not a SCAM. The Actor's Project NYC is a successful showcase company. by talentmanagernyc • last post Nov 2nd
TAPNYC showcases are a lot of fun and feature a lot of talented actors 15+ times a year. Agents and Managers in film, tv, theatre, etc. are at every showcase and there are many success stories (check out The Actor's Project NYC website). Yes, there is a one-time membership fee to join and be in the company, but once you are a member you are a member for life and never have to pay the dues again. Many actors in TAPNYC showcases have representation and perform with the company on a regular basis. **If you are not sure, go to one of the free talent rep workshops offered 2 or 3 times a month where actors meet the directors and an agent or manager who goes to The Actor's Project NYC showcases.** The word "scam" is thrown around a lot on acting sites. One person can write the word "scam" and get their "review" to the top of google search results. I have seen agencies called scams, casting sites called scams, casting directors called scams, acting schools called scams, etc. , but usually it comes down to someone who just doesn't understand the contract they signed with a company which is supposed to protect all involved. Companies that offer actors exposure like The Actors Project, Actors Connection, The Network, One-on-One, etc. are often targeted and called "scam", but they are 100% not scams. You are paying for their service and usually those services come with policies you must both follow. If you have a bad experience it might be the companies fault and you should give them a chance to correct the issue, but bashing them on the internet doesn't solve the problem. Please take a moment, contact someone at the company and although you might not always receive a refund because most companies like this have a no-refund policy, most companies also have a policy to help their clients resolve issues.

How do I get an agent or manager? by talentmanagernyc • last post Nov 2nd
At some point in your acting career you will need representation. There are many companies in NYC that offer you exposure to agents and managers. Check them out. They might seem the same, but often they have very unique approaches to how they get you in front of industry. See which company you best fit with, because you have a lot of choices. Maybe you don't put all your eggs in one basket and try a few companies. Don't break the bank, but you should invest in getting in front of agents and managers at some point in your career. Also, actor fiends who are represented might refer your to their agent or manager. Referrals are a great way to get representation. When you meet agents and mangers, be ready with an amazing headshot and resume . Also, go ahead and join the casting sites and start building your pages with photos, clips, and a great slate shot. Agents and Managers love it when they ask for a link to Actors Access Page and you send it full of updated, competitive materials. I am asked this question a lot, so I hope my answer is helpful. Break-A-Leg!

Mandy. Com by evergracelessone • last post Nov 1st
I’ve been seeing this ad lately on Instagram for Mandy dot com which is apparently for actors to find new jobs (similar to Backstage, Actors Access I suppose). Is it a scam? It’s a free site so I’m not terribly worried about it but I also want to be safe and ya know, not waste my time lol. Does anyone know? Edit: Apparently to do anything useful at all you have to upgrade to Premium. It’s also got awful reviews. I think I’ll pass.
Feeling Inadequate / Hate Watching Myself / Impostor Syndrome by KarratKake • last post Nov 1st
I'm up and coming in my local community theater scene, I have a lot of people who tell me what a great job I do, and my recent audition results definitely reflect that. However, I still can't get over feelings that I'm amateurish, or that there are gaping holes in my technique, or that I'm really doing a just okay job and I can't really understand where all the praise is coming from. I also see photos or videos of myself and think that I look and sound absolutely ridiculous, and wonder how anyone at all takes me seriously as an actor. Are these feelings common? Am I fooling myself into thinking I'm worse than I am? Or do they reflect that my standards for myself are just impossibly higher than my peer's standards for me? Is this a good thing? Would love some reflections
LA actors - your thoughts on AB5? by SalesToMarketing • last post Nov 1st
Apparently it’s going to make it practically illegal to be an independent contractor. It’s meant to stop people from being abused as full time contractors, but it effects many other industries. For example, I write marketing emails for companies. Under this law, I may not be able to work as an IC in California. As I write more than 35 emails per year per client. Many other actors support themselves doing things like freelance writing, brand ambassador work, etc. I’m worried this law will wipe out 95 percent of actor survival jobs in California.
Joining SAG by BadCapitalist • last post Nov 1st
Does joining SAG make acting for a living easier? For example would I have access to more roles beyond what posted on backstage and Actors Access?
Tips on finding auditions? by DerMetJungen • last post Nov 1st
So I'm an amateur actor (student theatre) who would very much like to have a try at some auditions but I live in Finland which isn't really a big movie making country. So my question is do you guys know how to find auditions in Finland (or the other nordic countries) or is there a way to somehow audition for international companies through video? This is probably a dumb question but I'm grateful for all answers!
Acting approach - Suggestions by TORM3NTO • last post Nov 1st
Hello everyone! I'm an aspiring filmmaker and have a few projects in my portfolio. A friend and I buddied up to produce super short films weekly to get better and better in different genres as opposed to committing to bigger projects. This means we are doing most of the acting ourselves as well. Now, I have experience behind the camera due to the fact that I used to do music and have been in tons of music videos but when it comes to acting for a short, I kind of have a few hiccups. I noticed that a lot of actors tend to keep their personalities even when portraying totally different roles. Now, I have a scene in which we are both supposed to be super happy and excited about something we accomplished. When I receive a gift or something nice happens to me in real-life situations, I tend to not exaggerate my emotions by being loud. How would you suggest I approach this scene? Thank you all in advance!
Can I still become an actor with scars? by pampkin-boi • last post Nov 1st
I know there is a section here about tattoos but do I still have a chance to become an actor with scars? I've been suffering from depression for many years (I don't want to get into details as I don't think it would be allowed here) and as a result I have some scars in visible places. I'm just really worried that now I'll never have a chance to even try, acting was always one of my biggest dreams. I just don't want to get my hopes up.
