Request About Classes in LA by j-marie-3 • last post Sep 21st
Hey team! I am an actress in LA. I have mostly film work under my belt, though I had a stage career before moving to LA. I have studied/been working in acting since I was 8 (now 30) and I have also taken classes at The BGB Studio, Lesly Kahn & Co (ongoing), and Anthony Meindl's Actor Workshop (currently ongoing). I have loved all of them, and am interested in trying something new/shaking up my comfort zone/seeing what can guide me to my next level Specifically: I'm looking for a class that works with current tv or film material being released in LA, has an audition portion to it (implemented at least once a month), films your work so that you can see what's going on (not just "feel" it), and keeps actors of similar talent-level together (regardless of credits/agents/etc) instead of a mismash of anyone (from beginner to expert). Preferably: one that requires rehearsals outside of class, taps into each attendee's individual life/career (not just a talk and then a jump into the work, but everyone getting a quick one-on-one touch/guidance/chatter/etc), a class that offers a free audit or trial, one that CD's have a high regard for and, thus, trust actors who have worked there. ​ So, any suggestions? If so, please share who/what studio/etc and why do you suggest them?

Headshot-Age Range-Character Type Post - Sep 20 by AutoModerator • last post Sep 20th
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 I drop out of a project? by nice_username_dude • last post Sep 20th
I had a agreed to be part of a production and shot one scene with them but lately they have just been not the nicest people to work with and it’s a for webseries. As a new actor I am looking for experience but they shot some of the scenes on their phone and I am not sure how great this is going to come out. I have a binder with my full script which is great but I’m not sure how much I like it. I’m torn at how much that I wanna continue working with them, since I had already agreed and shot one scene. Any advice?
Claimed my imdb page from the guy who made it to credit me in his film. But he credited me as an actress. Any idea on how to make my page say actor? by Designer_B • last post Sep 20th
Guy's a dipshit and I told him not to make the page because I'd make an imdb pro page first, but no such luck.

Feedback please? by aimeehenkel • last post Sep 19th
My 9 yo son has been on 90 auditions since last October but he has nothing major on his resume, a couple of featured backgrounds, a few industrial commercials. He’s been called back for Bluebloods and The Goldfinch and Hartford Theater among others, but doesn’t land a lot of work relative to the number of auditions he goes on. My question is, should we be taking less auditions? He misses a lot of school. The advice I’ve read is that you never turn down auditions, but he misses half a days school and it costs us $50 each audition in transportation. Many times there is NO way he’s getting the part - he’s up against really seasoned actors. Anyway, I just wondered what people thought. Take fewer auditions or suck it up? Thanks!
Advice on how to have better comedic delivery/timing for theater by Entershakira • last post Sep 19th
My jokes always seem to land absolutely flat when I say a comedic line from a show. I really want to get better at it but I am unsure of how. I would really appreciate some tips to what I can do to improve on my comedic chops. I've had other actors tell me that you either got it or you don't. I personally think that's bs and that people can find what humor works for them. TLDR: would love tips for comedic acting in theatre.

Letting you actors know about r/Showreels by MrGodzillahin • last post Sep 19th
Hi, I'm seeing showreels being shared across many different subs, and I wanted to create a great place for where they can all be shared. That's why I made this sub, [r/showreels](https://www.reddit.com/r/Showreels), to make it easy to give and receive solid feedback. I just wanted to let the creators here at r/acting know that the sub exists - hopefully, this is useful for you. I'll be posting this to other subs too, to spread the word. A single place for all showreels could increase the amount of feedback you receive, especially if as you'll be able to tag it with the appropriate industry or software. If you like the idea and think it's useful, let me know! :) Also, if this post doesn't fit this sub, tell me in the comments and I'll take it down! Cheers!
