Film/Television Agent by Dlb  •  last post Jun 2nd

Hello! Struggling a little with finding an agent. Many want a referral, and the several I have emailed have not responded. I have a commercial agent, and have done several commercials, but want to transition to what I’ve trained so hard for. Are follow up appropriate for the agents I’ve...

LA to NYC by Beautiful_Heartbeat  •  last post Jun 2nd

Hi All! I've been in LA for about three and a half years now and am finally accepting it isn't where I really want to be. I'm really happy and proud of the training I've done here, how I've evolved as a person, and how I've deepened (word?) as an artist - but after a visit to NYC it became blatantly clear that I've been very unhappy here and hence unmotivated to really go out and audition, etc. I'm no stranger to New York, so it's not a fleeting "one-trip-changing-my-mind" situation, and it's been tucked in the back of my mind all the while, but I chose LA for logical reasons and, I remember now, dreams don't often operate on logic. I know it's more expensive and will be just as much of a grind, but I feel me being happier there will make all of that more manageable - I'll be struggling in either place, so might as well struggle in good feelings, hah. So all that being said - I know most people do the opposite of NYC to LA, but has anyone else here gone this route? And for any NYC actors reading, I'd love any insights or tips on the scene there - I've funnily done mostly theatre here and would love to know about breaking into the underground scene in New York, but of course would also like to know how film/TV castings go. Good luck to us all, wherever we are, and thank you for taking the time to read and chime in!

What kind of samples would be reccomended for a voice123 portfolio by Pezzimism213  •  last post Jun 2nd

I am trying to get started on my dream of being a voice actor, but I have run into a problem. I have no earthly idea what to record to advertise my voice and my anxiety makes me feel ridiculously stupid anytime I record anything. What types pf recordings are people supposed to put on their profile and any reccomendations on what to say would be greatly appreciated.

Do voice over actors really get blacklisted for being on Fiverr or Upwork? by Iknotfunny  •  last post Jun 1st

Just wondering if being on sites like Fiverr or Upwork will negatively impact my odds of finding an agent (and I know I sound naive). Thanks!

A question for actors with agents by SheSneeze  •  last post Jun 1st

Hello actors! I recently (three days ago) had an audition with an agency (BMG talent) and I thought it went really well. It seemed to me that the agent was teasing a three year contract. I’m based in Chicago. I am wondering how long I should expect to wait before I hear back from them. How long did it take for you to hear back from your agency after you auditioned with them?

I'm afraid of being an older actor help by StrobeRogers  •  last post May 31st

Guys, I'm just now getting comfortable with the idea of what I have to do to put together a career. I'll be 40 in 2 years...then trying for 10 years maybe?.. I literally can't see myself do anything else (I tried) but I don't even know how to survive let alone have enough money for auditions.. How does anyone survive let alone, succeed?

Fellow actors/actresses how what are ways you memorize monologues by Owl1y  •  last post May 31st

Should I Take This Role? by Sebastian83100  •  last post May 31st

So I few days ago, I saw a post on Reddit looking for actors to do an unpaid vlog style series. It's kinda like Lonley Girl15 if any of you guys remember that. Well I got a part and was excited, but then I started thinking about my future as an actor and it got me thinking if I should take it or not. Like could this get out and ruin any chances of a serious career, or am I just overthinking this whole thing? Any fellow actors ever feel this?

Do you need any certain grades to become an actor? by lucarom  •  last post May 31st

I get you need grades for a back up career but do casting directors take grades into consideration? I’m guessing not, but just wondering.

I decided to create a short film by myself and with only a smarthpone. by kdenev  •  last post May 31st

Hi guys, I am an actor. Recently I made a short film using only my smartphone, a cheap mic and one light. Let me know what you think. This post is just a motivation that sometimes we can create our own work and never stop develop our skills. Thanks.Here is the link:[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QI4NFB6kNT4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QI4NFB6kNT4)

Hello Stage actors! by louisasnotes  •  last post May 31st

I was recently invited to audition for a local company that hosts a 'rep' season every summer, and have been cast. Today is the end of the first week of rehearsals so for the first time since leaving Drama School, where we were taught in the old English Rep. system, I'm actually 'in Rep.'! Two roles in 2 different shows, rehearsing five times per week, and the shows run concurrently in July and August. So...2 characters to invent, learn lines for, rehearse and present: Max Tarasov in 'Superior Donuts' and Eddie Brock in 'Born Yesterday'. Our second weekend is coming up when - for the first time - I am on my feet for both roles (read through's complete) for one day each. We have started blocking 'BY', and will start tomorrow, June 1, on 'SD' . ​ As I am on here on virtually a daily basis, I thought I'd keep a casual diary on what was going on for those that had an interest, perhaps you could pick up some useful ideas, or learn from my pending mistakes, on working this way. Comments and Questions are welcome, and here's the obligatory plug for those in the area and interested in seeing the plays: [http://www.ensembletheatrecompany.ca/](http://www.ensembletheatrecompany.ca/)

What makes someone a talented actor/actress? by Yur47  •  last post May 30th

Need some input by SoloSmithy  •  last post May 30th

I'm going to spend some time making a site for voice actors to find jobs and connect with others, what is something you would love to see implemented in an online voice-over site that other sites like Voices.com or Voices123 just dont quite have?

Headshot-Age Range-Character Type Post - May 30 by AutoModerator  •  last post May 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. 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.
