Largo.ai... by maxdurden • last post Mar 9th
Hey all. So, I just received an email from a representative for Largo.ai saying that I was a good match for some projects on the platform, and asking me if I would like to join their waitlist. I checked Largo.ai out, and it seems to be casting site like Actor's Access, but it's AI driven, and they claim that leads to better democratisation of who gets what auditions. It claims to be a more direct line of communication between producers and talent. Initially, I was a bit put off by how corporate it all seems, but I put my artist brain aside once I remembered that many producers are corporate folks, so it makes sense that the branding is geared towards that. I signed up for the wait list, and then came the tiers. Three options: 12.04/month, 24.09/month, and 41.05/month. Pretty damn steep. Like... really steep. It's like they fully didn't do any research on platforms that could compete (Actor's Access, LA casting, etc...) And priced it blindly. Or the more likely scenario: they did do the research, and realized that if they price theirs higher, many people will assume it's better. Whoops. The three tiers will get you things like the ability to contact producers yourself at the highest tier, as well as "2x more chances to get auditions" and "4x more chances to get auditions" for the last two tiers respectfully. Not sure what that even means because they don't explain it, plus it seems a little disingenuous considering most of the copy on the site talks about "taking the chance out of getting auditions." Yeah. Sure. Anyway, does anyone have any experience with this wildly priced "new revolution in the casting biz"?
Actors Access Slates by FiremanTodd • last post Mar 9th
Although I know what a slate is, I'm wondering if someone can explain what the Actors Access Slates are and how they might be helpful. Is it worth the extra cost?
What popular actors do you think are genuinely bad/untalented when it comes to their craft? by Brave-Court-1582 • last post Mar 9th
For me, it's Emma Roberts. I genuinely think she's a terrible actor and plays the same person in every single thing I've seen her in. What are your unpopular opinions?
Good side hustles in London by Brave-Court-1582 • last post Mar 9th
Out of curiosity, what do those of you who are actors in London do, on the side? I work in a restaurant and have a few other side gigs going, but Im hesitant to fully like start a full time job/career as I'm really hoping/believing I will get lucky soon. What are your thoughts?
Actors Access slow for anyone else? by wjxm • last post Mar 9th
I’m wondering if I unclicked a box or something recently because I haven’t received an email even a “Projects Match Your Profile” email since late February. Is this happening to everyone or should I contact the site? Thanks!

Adapting my feature screenplay into a film, and a major Hollywood actor's agent just asked for my sample work. I'm scared? by SwimGood22 • last post Mar 9th
I'm a screenwriter that's adapting my first script into a feature film. I recently got into contact with the agent and manager that reps one of the biggest actors in the industry. They asked for an offer and I sent through with details. After two weeks of silence, I just heard from them asking for a sample of my directing work to send over. I'm scared because I don't have a sample as I've primarily been a screenwriter and am only now taking the step forward to adapt into a feature. What should I tell them? I thought after two weeks of silence they had passed, but am confused why they'd need my sample work too?
what are your methods to prepare yourself/get in character before filming? by s1c23 • last post Mar 9th
I'm shooting my first short film tomorrow. It's just a few lines, but it's a start! I rarely have confidence to say things like this, but I have a feeling I will do great with just a few lines. I'm playing a masculine-presenting queer woman (very connected to this role, as I am queer too so it would kinda be like playing myself but with a few changes). Weeks before, I chopped off all my hair, I prepared a backstory and her possible alignment. But just like anyone else, she's a complex person, so alignment is bound to change. I also made her a playlist, and put songs that are not only relatable to her backstory but also puts me (the actor) in the mood for my scene. I guess everyone has different little rituals or ways of preparing themselves before performing their role. But I was just curious to see other responses.

Casting director reaching out to me by Still_Yak8109 • last post Mar 9th
I had a casting director reach ot to me via email. I don't know how they got my contact info. Its not a self submission because I checked and couldn't find any submissions to them, nor did my agent reach out. Is this normal? This is a legit casting director. I did ask how they found my contact info because it is bizarre. It is for a commerical and no its not one of those we need "real life" people either. I don't know who referenced me. do CD's just do a random search in a database. I am a very specific type of character actor if that helps for context.

Agency/Reps Contract by nicenicevanana • last post Mar 9th
So I’m really close to signing with a rep but the contract doesn’t have a time limit (1 year, etc) Is this normal? We asked them about it but they say it’s because it’s not an actual contract, it’s more like a permit for them to use my name and image for businesses inquires, and that there is no such time duration cause in case things aren’t going well, I can just let them know and they’ll erase my profile from their agency. I’ve checked and it’s a legit agency, has a lot of good-working actors and has been on the radar for a while now, but is this time-duration thing normal? Thanks!
Headshot-Age Range-Character Type Feedback by AutoModerator • last post Mar 9th
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. Non-professional shots are fine for age/typecasting; please keep in mind that one picture is a difficult way to go about this. Video of you moving and speaking would be ideal, but understandably more difficult to post. ​ 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.

Is $954.00 a good price for this package? by hbryan135 • last post Mar 8th
To make a long story short: I attended a webinar held by the Actors Center DC and after that, the host (a voice actor and production company owner) offered a $75 voice assessment service. I did that and it got me very excited! He said he would be able to work with me and that he would send me pricing for a package that includes the following: - (1) Commercial Demo - (1) Narration Demo - A career strategic planning session - A home studio design consultation Obviously he would provide the scripts for the demos and he would do the post production (he has a pro booth as well). If I remember correctly if I move forward, he would take the $75 I paid and apply that to the package. I tried to shop around and I am finding it very hard to find exact numbers. Vocal coaches are charging for vocal lessons by the hour and other websites aren’t giving demo pricing. Does this seem like a good deal?
Actors who aren’t yet acting full time, what is your side gig? by Scare_the_bird • last post Mar 8th
What kind of job do you maintain that allows you to audition and take roles while getting your bills paid? Very curious!
r/ActMyScene - a casual subreddit for screenwriter/actor collaboration by thesilentsage216 • last post Mar 8th
I've posted about this idea in here two months ago - since it doesn't seem to break any rules, I'm going to post it again. I'll try not to post in here too often from now on. So, I've made a subreddit. Basic idea - screenwriters on the sub post short scripts and actors on the sub perform the dialogue. Sort of like [r/DrawForMe](https://www.reddit.com/r/DrawForMe/) in the "collaborative art" aspect, except in this case the requester is putting more work in. This is pretty beneficial for all sides. If you're a screenwriter, you can post a script and get someone else acting/voice acting it a few hours later - this might help you get a better feel for the script and where it works and doesn't work, and besides, it might just be nice to hear someone else act out lines you wrote. If you're an actor, you have a free supply of practice material. If you're just spectating, you get to watch interesting scripts and acting performances for free. In addition, this could help establish partnerships if the screenwriter and actor like each others' script/acting so much that they would like to work together. I created the subreddit in January, but there wasn't enough momentum to get anything started. This is attempt #2. The name is [r/ActMyScene](https://www.reddit.com/r/ActMyScene/), in case you missed it. Let's hope it takes off this time!
I'd really love some voice actor ideas and HC's for my characters, or ideas of what they would sound like from their descriptions by Dismal_Success_9063 • last post Mar 8th

NYC Actors- what’s your day (or night) job? by medium_peasant • last post Mar 8th
I’m about to graduate with my MFA but I’m very torn between what I should be trying to pursue day job (or night job) wise to pay the bills so that I can audition continually. Have my undergraduate degree in a hard skill field but I don’t imagine they’d allow for much flexibility in this field in terms of leaving to audition or if and when I book something. Thanks!
