TAPNYC The Actor’s Project? by JellicleCat • last post Jan 10th
Anyone know what this is? Looks kind of scammy, but I guess you never know. Keep getting emails from them.
Headshot Advice by mopavik1 • last post Jan 10th
Hello! I recently got pictures taken and I thought they should be good for headshots but after some research I began to think they look more like pictures to send to family members instead of professional photos. Should I get these photos redone or are they acceptable for auditioning? https://www.backstage.com/u/megan-pavik1/media/photos?editing=1...

(NYC) Movement Training? Alexander? Feldenkrais? Williamson? View Points? Barteneiff? Any insight? by queevy • last post Jan 10th
Hello all! ​ I'm enrolled in a two year Meisner program, have been an actor for a while and I'm taking a little break to work on my craft, but I'm only signed up for Acting and Voice. I couldn't fit their movement class into my schedule, so I have to peace meal that. I'm toying with the idea of just going to HB Studio and take their Alexander class, but there are so many types of techniques and programs (LIMS, Actors Movement Studio, etc), I would just like some insight into how I would approach that. Should I study all techniques? What's best for Actors? What classes in NYC did you like the best? What's the best way to have a complete (from beginning to end) actors movement training? ​ Any help would be appreciated.

Rates for a new voice actor by D4rkcookies • last post Jan 10th
Hey all, I've just recently started voice acting and have landed my first solid interview! (All the previous so far never got past my reel). My client has asked me how much my rate/per completed hour is, and I'm unsure how much to charge as a beginner voice artist. Does anyone know what a good range would be for a starter?
Moving over for acting by Belg4r • last post Jan 10th
Hi guys, so I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I'm an 18 year old (part-time) actor based in Belgium who has serious thoughts of moving over to a city near London soon. Too me Belgium is too small a place, we speak a different language and only a handful of actors can do it full-time. For a long time I've been wanting to move over to England to do acting for a living but I cant keep ignoring the negatives people around me constantly remind me of. Next to being on a subway 4 hours a day (cause London itself is too expensive) There's the accent which is pretty noticeable despite not being horrible. I'll be put all the way back in terms of contacts and experience. Ive been saving up money and could go a year with the funds I have paying for pretty much only necessities, I truly want to do acting for a living but there are many people discouraging me currently. Anyone got some advice for me? Not sure what I'm expecting to get but I just aint sure anymore at this point.
Voice Actor Needed by puppypowpowpow • last post Jan 10th
Hello reddit friends! I work with an agency and need a single commercial project voiced. I am looking for someone with a raspy masculine quality to their voice. Think Sam Elliot or late Johnny Cash. Speaking of cash, this is a paying gig, because work equals money in this life. If your vocal profile qualifies and are interested please DM me with an audio file. If you fit what we need we can discuss rates, project details, and timeline. Comments alerting me that you DM'd me are most welcome because they make me feel important.
Headshot-Age Range-Character Type Post - Jan 10 by AutoModerator • last post Jan 10th
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.

Submitting in Actor’s Access when you have representation by Singingandcats • last post Jan 9th
Hi all! People with representation - do you still submit yourself for things on actor’s access? Could it become an issue if you’re submitting yourself for the same things that an agent/manager has already submitted you for? Thanks!! :)
Union status on resume by MNtoNYC • last post Jan 9th
Question for y’all. I am SAG-AFTRA as well as EMC. I’m in a sweet spot where I can sister in to AEA at any time, I am only 1 week shy of the 25 week EMC requirement. This means I could take all types of contracts. Non union, EMC eligible,...
SAG-AFTRA questions by Roshek712 • last post Jan 9th
Hello everyone! I hope this post isn't too redundant. Please bear with me: I am a part of a New-York based group working on a short animated film. We recently found a voice actress that we would love to have on our project, and when contacting her manager, we were told that we need to be under SAG-AFTRA in order to make this work. Now, from the research that we've done, we understand that the actors themselves are protected (and members of) SAG-AFTRA. But how does it work when we, the hiring party, want to work with an actor who's under that union? Do we have to sign up as well? Is it even a thing that you "sign up for?" ​ I hope the source of our confusion comes across, we are kinda all over the place with this (first time dealing with this type of issue). Any help, explanations and clarifications will be much appreciated. Cheers!
Do you believe Actors are Artists? by beingpotential • last post Jan 9th
Since Film, Television and Theatre are considered "Art Forms" do you believe that Actors are also considered Artists? Or do you believe Actors do not belong in the "Artist" category.
Actors, what subjects related to acting would you like to see covered on YouTube? by Augmented-Actor • last post Jan 9th
I have a YouTube channel dedicated to giving tips and advice to beginning and experienced actors. So far most of my videos have covered auditions, technical aspects, dos and donts and practical acting business stuff, but I’ve read recent posts on reddit from actors looking for more technique related videos. (Breaking down scripts, developing characters, etc) These types of videos are more difficult to translate to video format outside of a class or one-on-one coaching, but I’d like to try to at least produce something that might help. What are some specific subjects you would like to see videos on that maybe aren’t out there already? What things do you want to work on as actors that another actor might be able to offer advice on? What questions do you have that you can’t find practical advice on? Looking for responses from beginners to professional actors in any related performance fields.
