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!

Should I do acting full time after high school? (and how should I do it?) by gavvinn • last post Sep 17th
I have been acting on stage and in front of the camera for many years. I am now going in to my senior year of high school and I live in Canada. I am a member of ACTRA. Where I live though, there there is a lack of film opportunities. If I wanted this as my career I would have to move to Toronto or Vancouver. If I got an agent, would being in ACTRA already benefit me much in a place like Toronto? or would I be at no greater stance than somebody with no credits? Would it be worthwhile for me to study theater even if this is not my endgame? Would I be able to find work enough to make a living? Where I am there aren't many ACTRA members leaving me an advantage. So in short, would I have a hard time trying to find work somewhere new? and if I play on doing primarily film is a degree right of the bat beneficial?
I just need to talk to people and vent. Just auditioned for my first play and didn't get the part. Very disappointed. by peterhumm18 • last post Sep 17th
Preface: I'm a freshman at the University of Michigan. I've never done acting of any kind before. Well, I read some lines out of the tempest for a play in my english class, but really nothing. I decided to try out for a play of sorts here. It was "Let the Right One In" and only had eight spots in total. I went in, they called me back, and so I went again. i learned there that I was competing mostly against other Theatre students from the university and didn't get the part. I don't know why i'm posting this here but I just wanted to talk to people about this and also ask here, what are ways I can get better? Like this was my first time ever auditioning or anything, but I had so much fun doing it. Simply auditioning had me walking out of the room with a smile.
Self-tape or in person auditions? by hllal • last post Sep 17th
And why? Self-tapes make me cringe personally but I get why people might like them. Just kinda doing a poll to get a general sense of opinions. Sorry if this has been asked before
Even if I don't write songs, could I do a cover of a song and add it to my actor's access just to show the people I'm submitting to that I can sing? by baaconbunny • last post Sep 17th
And just to show them what style of singing and the quality of my voice?
Is there a way to use VBA to send emails to specific people containing specific cell values? by IntellectualFerret • last post Sep 17th
I'm a stage manager for a show and I'm trying to make my line notes process more efficient. Currently, I have a table in Excel with columns for the actor's name, the location of their line mess up, and the type of mistake they made. As it stands I just manually enter these into emails for each actor but this is time consuming and tedious and it seemed like something I should be able to get Excel to do for me. ​ Image of what the sheet looks like: [https://imgur.com/a/50uoYM8](https://imgur.com/a/50uoYM8)

How much does Netflix pay actors? by genericactor34 • last post Sep 16th
Hi, I am a teen actor who is auditioning for a major Netflix original show. I have gotten to the 3rd call back and there is a chance I might get the role. It is the main character... I am of course hoping to get the role, and was wondering if anyone has an estimate of how much money I could make depending on how many episodes and seasons run and generally how the money making works. I have heard that Netflix pays well and that streaming actors get paid a lot but I don’t even have an idea in what range that would be. Appreciate the help!
