Film director here. And terrified of working with all you pros. How can I best communicate with you to get what I’m looking for in a scene? by bpalmer118 • last post Jan 15th
Also any books or other resources to help directors work with actors would be greatly appreciated! I’m reading Judith Weston’s book Directing Actors now and I’m enjoying it so far!

Get Cinematic by John Swanbeck • last post Jan 14th
“You’ll be instantly cinematic on camera if you play the subtext of the scene as if it is the text but not the subtext of individual lines, the subtext of the scene. This will engage the audience’s imagination because the audience will be wondering what it is your character can’t say, won’t say, or doesn’t know how to say…"

The show is done as a video diary so will be using whatever you have as a camera, could be a webcam could be a phone, whatever.

Candy Jar streaming on Netflix by Paul Tigue • last post Jan 13th
I'm one of leads, along with Helen Hunt, Christina Hendricks, and Uzo Aduba in the Netlfix Original Movie, Candy Jar, now streaming on Netflix. It's a nice teen romantic comedy. A few links below to some recent press.

Looking to learn more monologues. Are there any that every aspiring actor should learn? 28yrs old, male. by FreeRedditCheck • last post Jan 13th
Also what about monologues from books that are not made into plays or film, are they worth learning for any reason other than personal growth? Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you!
Possible help here by Notsowise87 • last post Jan 13th
I'm soon transitioning from the military this November. I've been looking into moving to California specifically LA to attend the Lee Strasburg theatre and film institute for the 2 year conservatory program. Before I begin this venture I will be taking classes in my local community theatre in order to gain some experience. My end goal is to be a working actor and I know I have a long road ahead. Does anyone here have any advice on survival jobs and/or advice on how to properly get on the right track? Has anyone here heard of this school?
Should I not even try? (16m) by SquatchHunter69420 • last post Jan 13th
I'm a 16-year-old aspiring comedian and actor, and I just finished a draft of a comedy script I want to film over the summer- and act in. I've done some acting. Not a lot. I auditioned for a short film being made in my school last year, and the director loved the "emotion" I portrayed. I made a comedy short last year, which is deleted now, and it actually turned out okay. I'm no Bill Murray, but I actually... acted. The other short never came together. Cancelled. In my video production class, my acting is awful in my own shorts, but servicable with other directors. I don't know what it is- I can't direct myself. In person, I am expressive and even funny at times, and feel I understand acting- I just get so damn nervous! So... should I even try? Is my dream of director/writer/actor/editor/comedian too ambitious? Thanks.
Actor's Admin Group (Los Angeles) by Brian Kurtis • last post Jan 12th
Happy Saturday Stage32 folks! My name is Brian, and I'm looking to put together an admin group to meet on a weekly basis. This group is intended for anyone who wants to progress in their career, but may need some extra support or motivation. Ideally, this group would be intended for actors, but everyone is welcomed and anyone can benefit from it. I'm only looking to put together a group of about 5 or 6 people (it's been my experience that a smaller admin group tends to work better). This is also going to be Los Angeles based. So, having said all of that, if you live in LA (or around LA and willing to commute) and are interested, message me! Happy New Year, and best of luck to everyone trying to make it in this industry!

Strong Cover Letter by Cheesewiz2018 • last post Jan 12th
I'm a relatively green actor looking for representation. Any tips/guidance to making a strong cover letter that stands out despite my lack of credits? I'm having a hard time trying to "sell" myself when the most recent job on my resume is from college... Thank you!
Can we use an LLC for a loan out corporation? by buddingartist2018 • last post Jan 12th
My daughter is selected for a TV series as a lead actress and is expected to make around 200k this year. Based on many articles on the web, we realized the advantage of using a loan out corporation to maximize tax benefits. The thing is, we have an LLC that is used for software consulting. Can I add my daughter as a member of the LLC and use it as a loan out corporation? Or does a loan out corporation has to be a corporation (INC) and not an LLC? Btw, according to my tax consultant, LLCs are used as pass througha to be treated either as S-Corp or C-Corp so it shouldn’t matter but my tax consultant is based in Bay Area and has no idea the tax treatment necessary for actors in LA.
Looking for young actor(s) - looking for advice on how to go about it. by georgeRgr • last post Jan 12th
Hey all, ​ I'm hoping get some advice for my project. I need one or two actors to film a series of promotional videos for an iPhone app I produce (Can't pay a huge amount but will pay fairly). ​ So my question is, what's the best way to go about finding some talented and personable young actors? Is there some place I can post? Location is important since I will want to do the filming and post production (options are London/southern England or France close to Geneva). ​ Any advice would be welcome. ​ All the best ​ ​
I GOT IN MY FIRST FILM!!! by NeverwuzBoi • last post Jan 12th
Ok, so its not really a big film, its more a short film, but its still really a big deal to me! I've always wanted to be a film actor, and this is the first real experience I've ever gotten. Before this, I just got a few leading roles in small local plays, which is still pretty cool, but not the experience I wanted. Can anyone give some tips? I need some tips on how to fake cry. Edit: before anyone asks, this film is a mental health awareness PSA and I got the main role! It does have a lot of scenes with fake crying and panic attacks though, so if anyone could help me out, it would mean a whole lot!
Non-presencial directing. by GreenRiot • last post Jan 12th
Soo, i explained recently about a amateur project i'm doing. I'm turning a novel i've written into a audionovel that i'll release as a podcast. It's in portuguese (but i plan to produce a international version later) soo i can't ask for help here. My budget is also zero, so the voice actors that want to participate are on it because they like the story and will have fun doing it. That being said, i'm still learning to voice act and direct AND because of practical reasons the actors will probably have to record their own lines at their available time and send me the audio for editing, which means that i'll not be able to direct them while recording their lines. What should i do to make sure that they'll be able to voice act their parts in a way that i'll not have to ask them to rerecord stuff a lot, and waste the time they are giving away for the project? Is it even worth it to let them take the parts if i'm not present?
