Any actors in Austin, TX? by jaywagg • last post Aug 15th
I'm considering moving out to Austin possibly to pursue an acting career. I lived in Dallas for a few years and went to KD Conservatory there. I'm currently in KC and I've never been to Austin. Just curious as to what living is Austin is like and what the acting scene provides. I'm a big fan of Rooster Teeth so they're kinda what got me thinking about Austin and it's not as big of a step as moving too LA or NY.
What is the point of continuing to take acting classes if I NEVER get auditions from my agents? What is the point of even doing this? by frogfrog91 • last post Aug 15th
I’ve done everything right for years and years and I don’t even get auditions at all. They don’t give me feedback as to what I could be doing to help them out. None of this makes sense and I’m tired of feeling jealous of other people that aren’t even good actors who get auditions all the time. This is just all so fucking warped. At what point do I just conclude that this industry wants nothing to do with me? I’m certainly tired of waiting tables for flexibility I don’t even need. I just don’t even know what to do anymore, I’m not even given an opportunity to START.
Where can I hire an actor for my skits and marketing videos? by Rhumumumu • last post Aug 15th
I'm from Toronto and I have no idea how to hire an actor for my business ventures, I'd be happy to work with student actors as well as professional actors. Also how much do most actors make hourly?
Nominated for Best Actor at a festival - now what? by genericstandupnyc • last post Aug 14th
Long story short: I have the top billed lead role on a feature film that is making its debut at a mid sized festival. The film looks set to make something of a splash at this festival, and is nominated for awards in nearly every category. Most surprisingly, I'm nominated for Best Actor. It's an honor just to be nominated - but I’m not sure where to set my expectations in terms of this being a break for my career. A little bit about me: I’m NYC-based and I’m not traditionally an actor. I didn’t go to an acting conservatory or anything - I’ve been crossing over from stand-up/improv. At this point I have a fair amount of credits (film, off-broadway, standup, etc). I’ve read the sub FAQ got all the essential basics - headshots, website, plenty of credits (film, off-broadway, stand up). I’ve never solicited an agent (comedians generally tell each other to wait for an agent to solicit you, but that hasn’t happened either). All of my friends who’ve also gotten lead roles in indies like this have had representation before this, but I got into this project because I had collabbed with the director before. Thanks for reading! Hope someone on this sub has some advice or insight before I fly out west for the big premiere.

Emmy Nominated Actors Teach You How to Make it in Hollywood by Two_Faced_Harvey • last post Aug 13th
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.
