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?

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.

How do you get to know that you're good in acting or not? by eeriek  •  last post May 30th

Honestly, I have no idea. I think I want to become an actor, but I'm not sure if I'm good for that. How can I tell if I should be doing it or not?

[QUESTION] anyone know what percentage of actors have representation and what percentage of jobs require it? by b2basics  •  last post May 30th

Any stats you know of would be super useful! Thank you!

For an actor to play a convincing role, must their character reflect something within their own psyche? For example, for Heath Ledger to play a great Joker, did he have to have sociopathic tendencies deep within his psyche? by sleips  •  last post May 30th

For an actor to convincingly play a role and generate raw emotions, it must resonate with something within his own psyche, right? I'm not saying that "LEDGER IS A SOCIOPATH". But the human unconscious mind is so vast, complex, mysterious, and deep. For him to play Joker as well as he did, do you think it reflects a deep, sinister part of his psyche? Is that how acting works? I'm not into the craft but I do appreciate from a distance and I'm curious. A lighter example is Jack Black in Jumanji. He plays a blonde teenage girl. For him to play that part, it definitely reflects a feminine girly part of his psyche.
