No acting experience, want to be in student films and don't care if I'm paid or not, but how do I find opportunities near me? by uhhMelvinDoo • last post Aug 13th
Other than a few plays as a kid, I never acted much and I'm in my second year of college now and realize I want to do this on the side at least for now. My college does theater plays, but no acting classes. I never clicked with theater much. I feel I'm more internal and can portray something on screen, as opposed to the more external way of performance in theater. I would like to basically just see if I can work on some student films people need actors for, but I don't know how to find any opportunities in my area. What would you guys suggest I do?
question from the otherside by S_Z • last post Aug 12th
Hi, I know each actor is individual but as a director, I often come across a problem and am interested in the actor’s point of view. Often in scenes I need an actor to give a reaction when there is no one to play against. For example, in a film...
Is there such a thing as "Structured Practice" for acting? by testyoint • last post Aug 12th
I’m not an actor but I am fascinated with the craft and the world of acting. I'm thinking like a dance routine where the choreography is set before you, and you practice bits and pieces at a time, from beginning to end, or however you practice it, and then you put it all together. Are there acting practicing basics you should practice every day? For example, is it reading a script, internalizing character info, and feeling the character's emotions, and then act it out while filming yourself, and rewatching the footage?

Should I join SAG? by TheatreNerd20000 • last post Aug 12th
I’m eligible to join SAG. I’m trying to get involved in more films and think having a SAG card would be beneficial but I’m also aware that SAG membership is expensive. Should I join SAG?
How do people outside the US apply for 'bigger' roles? by Ravenbaxter66 • last post Aug 12th
Probably a dumb question, but how do people without prior big roles, such as Katherine Langford (being from outside the US), apply for the lead role of a Netflix TV show? Are there many auditions for Netflix shows available to be completed online? Sorry if this has been answered already, just curious. Thanks in advance!

Are there actors out there who rely on coffee to act? by testyoint • last post Aug 11th
This fascinates me, this idea that there are actors out there who use coffee as part of their life's routine to get them in the mood to practice whatever they are working on, whether it's preparing for an audition, or is on set in their trailer preparing, drinking coffee. I guess what I'm asking is - are actors actively aware of what they put into their bodies because they know it'll affect their ability to use their working memory to work? Are there actors out there famously known to eat drink or take something in order to ... act.
Some questions from a beginner by wowtade • last post Aug 11th
(Sorry if this is hard to read, I was nervous and excited when writing this and couldn't really put my thoughts down on "paper") Heyo! WHO I AM: I am a 17 about to be 18 years old guy from Sweden looking to get into acting. I just have a couple of questions about school, classes and acting in general and also about my "plan". Currently I am not doing much about acting, I am watching movies, trying to read more books (currently reading Jenna Fischer's book "The Actor's Life: A Survival Guide" and I love it so far! I am on chapter 2) and looking into a class that I will be able to take at the start of next year. (need to be 18 to take it, something about being mature and not immature) Don't know if you care but I will list the reasons as to why I want to be an actor. The main reason is because I would like to travel to different times and to be different people and explore their stories and such. Another reason is because I LOVE movies, series and awesome stories and would love to be able to be a part of those things. MY PLAN: My so called "plan" was to take a break from school a whole year after finishing high school(?) to practice acting, taking classes, reading plays, learning monologues and so on. Maybe even audition for some student films or commercials, I don't know, I am totally new to this. And then after that year audition for an acting school because by then I will have more experience. THE QUESTIONS: Now onto the questions. The main question I have is, is it okay to start going to acting school (college) not directly after finishing the year I am in now? (Not sure what the year is called in america, sorry) The reason as to why I am not going to college directly after is because I don't have any experience of acting at all and I can't take a class until I am 18 and I won't learn everything from one class. So, won't just learning the basics take a year or so? Or is that something you learn in college? Do you need experience from before to go to an acting college? Do I need to know the basics before or do I learn that in college? THE END PART and SUMMARY: So I guess all of this really leads to just one question, do I need any experience when auditioning for an acting college, do I learn the basics there? I am so nervous getting into acting because I am not usually someone to take a lot of space around people but I find all of this very exciting, taking classes, auditioning, learning the craft and acting. //An aspiring actor! EDIT: Forgot to add some questions. What are some general tips about acting and how to practice it you can teach me, what are things I can do to practice acting? Any comments would really do it for me!
Questions About Headshot by GameSeven • last post Aug 11th
I'm new to Vancouver and also new to pursuing acting as a career. I have experience through school and community theater but I am not sure what my next step should be. I want to get a headshot but I am very overwhelmed with options. Everything seems to cost at least $300 and there are so many companies to sift through. How important is it for a beginner to drop that kind of money on a headshot? Or should I use it some other way?
Contrasting scenes by actor2018canada • last post Aug 11th
I have a request to send "contrasting scenes" to an agent. One scene I chose is the "Maybe I'm not good enough" scene in La La Land (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSYQD1BBx7I), and the other that I'm looking at is the scene from "Good Night, and Good Luck." where George Clooney's character is confronting the two Colonels in his office. (For those who haven't seen it, I can't find the scene on YouTube, but it's page 14 from the screenplay - http://www.dailyscript.com/scripts/Good_Night_and_Good_Luck.pdf) For those familiar - would those two scenes be contrasting? For some reason, I have a hard time figuring that out.
actor/writer looking for other actor/writers, Directors, DPs, video/audio editors, etc. to film projects with by intothevortex87 • last post Aug 11th
I'm new to LA from NYC. I've made a few no-budget shorts and I'd like to take it to the next level with other actors, writers, directors, DPs, editors, etc. Really want to get a good group of people together, a solid crew of passionate people in this for life, to make shorts and eventually get budgets and funding (so we can make money off of this) and get some passion projects into festivals. I'm a pretty chill guy with infinite ideas and a pretty decent knowledge of the business. If you have any equipment that's a huge plus obviously, but mostly I'm looking for cool people to actually be friends with and make cool shit together. hit me up if you're interested!
