Looking for actors in Davison mi area! by thecomedianpoe • last post Jul 15th
Hey, I'm a director of low budget short films, currently we are in pre production of a new action/thriller film Called "prey", we need actors, and crew. We usually release our stuff on YouTube and sometimes film festivals. Here's the synopsis of the film. PREY Synopsis: Every year a group of the world's craziest and deadliest psychopaths called “The Hunters” gather a group of random individuals and release them into the woods “The Prey”. They have one hour to either try and escape, or prepare to fight. Once the hours up “The Hunters” begin hunting their “prey”. “The Hunters” consist of a hitman, an ex marine sniper, two cannibal redneck brothers, a schizophrenic psycho and more (These are the main killers, there’s about five-ten more that don’t matter really and will die) “The Prey” are people of all different backgrounds, but one of them has a dark secret that could help them win.
Physiological effects of acting by SKB-786 • last post Jul 15th
All actors experienced stress, causing elevated heart rate, the more experienced actors displayed less heart rate variability than the less experienced actors in the same play. The more experienced actors experienced less stress while performing, and therefore had a smaller degree of variability than the less experienced, more stressed actors. The more experienced an actor is, the more stable their heart rate will be while performing, but will still experience elevated heart rates.
At what point is it more trouble than it's worth to audition for no pay films? by xijalu • last post Jul 14th
Submitted for an audition on Actors Access for a student film and they wrote back saying they want: a monologue, reading sides, a song, and a video reel (which I don't have) I have an agent in Chicago but it has a lot of people and I really need to redo the commercial headshot so since I joined in April, Ive only gotten one audition from their submissions... The only reason I do student film auditions is for connections, to get reel footage and put something on the resume, but due to the money from the commute and getting the sides and the time put into all that memorization, is a no pay student film worth it, in your opinion? Sorry this was longer than I intended but I would appreciate any thoughts!
Sometimes you have to take yourself a little less seriously to be a serious actor by icouldbeconvinced • last post Jul 14th
Where do I audition for a film by Nathans-warhammer • last post Jul 14th
Im planning on becoming an actor when I’m older and decided to start by educating myself, I know you need an agent and they’ll be informed when a role is opened, but I also heard that you can record yourself and send it to whoever you’re auditioning to.
Actors Access or Backstage? by deeward1017 • last post Jul 14th
Looking for some opinions! I recently moved to LA and am excited to even get the opportunity to submit myself or audition for anything, but I haven’t had the money yet to subscribe to one of these sites. Now that I do/will soon, which one should I put my money into? I currently have a profile on Actor Access (the free version where you can only have one picture and like a short bio lol) and I think I have a couple of friends that use that form, but I’ve also always liked the way Backstage is set up. I’m a trained theatre actor but looking to do theatre AND film, more specifically comedy. What do you guys use and why? :) thank you!!
I (22 F) don't sound like how I look. What to do? by wednesthurs • last post Jul 14th
I'm an Asian girl, buy my voice doesn't sound "girly" or "pleasant". The -way- I talk kinda reminds me of the YouTuber IISuperwomanII and the actress Awkwafina, and the -tone- of my voice is lower than both of them. Also, I -look- very girly. I don't know what kind of roles would suit me when my voice and look are polar opposites. Sometimes I think about "reshaping my voice", like learning different speech styles or something. Any advice would be appreciated, because I'm always feeling frustrated whenever I hear my voice in self-recordings. EDIT: Now that I think about it, my voice sounds low and boyish like Miley Cyrus.

Hire an actor so start a fight with you by JTop7717 • last post Jul 14th
Has anyone ever been hired or hired someone to have a semi staged fight in a public forum before? I ready about something like this in a college advertising course called dynamic advertising but can’t find anything online about it. Does anyone have any personal experience with this? Like hiring some guy to pick a fight with you & using it to grab attention for any reason? Just wondering! Let me know!

The Three Questions That Frustrate Voice Actors by iggykidd • last post Jul 13th
Are actors messed up ? by Herowar • last post Jul 13th
I always wondered, are a lot of actors seriously traumatized people, that try desperately to keep normal in real life and let all the pain loose during acting. ​ Take Bryce Dallas Howard for example. ​ She can cry on queue and laugh hysterically after that, it is quite creepy and uncomfortable to watch. ​ Jim Carrey is another perfect example, since he has talked extensively about his personal life and we all know his serious acting, and comedy
Questions about self taped auditions by thatguy_sk • last post Jul 13th
So I moved to LA recently and started an Actors Access Plus account two days ago and have begun self submitting. I’ve gotten a few audition requests and two of them are self tapes. I’ve seen a few different peoples self taped auditions and would like to know what the normal criteria I should be submitting other than slating and any sides given. Is there anything else I should be aware about, like a little about myself? Or is there anything that I should out in there that would help me stand out?
Had my first ever on camera audition 2 days ago, got the callback and had it this afternoon... by Phoenix2700 • last post Jul 13th
I was insanely excited about this because for the last year I've been exclusively going out on voice over auditions through my agency and have finally started to break out into on-camera auditioning. I was through the moon when I found out I got the callback on my first ever on camera audition, and today during the callback things seemed to go incredibly well. The callback was myself and another actor reading 2 separate roles, after which I was asked to stick around and read my part again with another actor playing the opposite role. I basically got to audition twice in a row for the same part, how good of a sign is this? I know not to expect anything but I can't help but wonder, haha! EDIT: No one else was asked to stick around to re-read besides me.
New to Los Angeles! Any jobs in the Valley by Ganomio • last post Jul 13th
Hello fellow actors! I just moved to North Hollywood and I was wondering what kind of jobs actors have in the valley, and if anybody can give me any ideas. I have been looking and researching myself but would like to hear some other peoples opinions as well. Any information is appreciated. (To preface if have about ten years in sales experience, I honestly do not want to do sales, but I am great with people incase their are other jobs out there that would translate to) Thanks!
Texas actors! What have you heard about this agency? by actorchan • last post Jul 13th
Hey y’all. I used to work with ‘The Linicomn Agency’ until I fired the agent. If I could, I would have never signed with them. I was able to tape for all upcoming big streaming platforms on my own efforts, book commercials, and then stuff, on my own. I thought maybe the agent was busy until I found someone else who stated the agency was actually blacklisted because of how unprofessional the owner, Danette, in addition to being a liar, is. I will most likely delete this post but I really am curious to find out WTF is up as I am now interviewing with new franchised / established agencies in and out of the area. Just feel like I sacrificed way too much for such a selfish and disgusting person and want some more information.

Do actors on Netflix make residuals? by NobodyNamedSmith • last post Jul 13th
Hey curious if anyone has had experience with this, do actors on original Netflix content (movie or series) make residual payments outside the initial payment for the work? Since it won't likely move to a different format and Netflix doesn't seem to release viewing information.
