You are gonna make it by MauriceBornia21  •  last post May 15th

I just saw an interview with Mark Ruffalo and at one point he said he got his first big role after LITERALLY more than SIX HUNDRED AUDITIONS. I thought that was awesome, insane-ish too, but mostly awesome. So, i want to make this as a post where actors struggling with their carreers and questioning the big "Am i ever gonna make it?" could read how people actually struggle, but make it. But i need your help, i need you to share your story. I don't know, are you already on the bussiness? How long did it take for you? Are you trying to make it yet? Tell us how you keep going, day to day, thinking "I AM GONNA MAKE IT!". Or even if you know a story like the Ruffalo's one, just share it here. Let's help each other, show that it is possible, and that we are gonna make it. Thank you, Folks.

Relaunched Acting Podcast, interviews with casting directors, actors and other industry professionals by mcerisano  •  last post May 15th

Hey everybody, So about 2 years ago I ran a podcast for Actors Connection in NYC, I posted it here when it launched. Now a days I mostly lurk here and help people pull footage for reels and such when people need it(editing is my job). The podcast ran for 22 episodes and I got a lot of great feedback here back then, and I had to step away to move into other things. Now I've been able to resurrect it and get some pretty great guests on the docket, first being a principal cast member of Hamilton which went up today. There's 4 other pods recorded and scheduled for publishing. Just like before there's NO ads, NO corporate shilling (I'm allergic)... just casual conversations over beers with people way above our pay-grades. And a soon to air bonus episode covering how to shoot your and edit own content, giving away the knowledge that keeps me employed. Really hope it might be of use/entertainment to you all and seriously we would welcome any feedback. Positive or negative. If you would like us to try and get a guest, let us know. We just might be able to. Find it by searching either "B-Roll" or "Actors Connection"(its still technically owned by AC) in your favorite podcast app, or if you use apple podcasts tap/click here": https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/actors-connection/id958276131?mt=2 Old post for full transparency: https://www.reddit.com/r/acting/comments/30tpzv/new_acting_podcast_interviews_with_casting/

Drums? by Cili0c  •  last post May 15th

So I’m getting really into the drums and am aspiring to be a professional. I’m still very young (14) and am pretty decent with my acting skills (I’m paired up alongside 16 year olds and above) but trying to get better with my flaws. I’m just wondering if learning certain instruments have an advantage in the acting career since I’ve noticed many famous actors knowing how to play instruments.

Is actors access only for LA and NY? by Dellrup  •  last post May 15th

And extra access? I made an account for extras access and it’s only NY and LA, is there any way to get extra experience without paying Backstage’s high prices? I’ve never been an extra before and idk if I’ll ever get a role so I’m not sure if I should spend $100+ just yet

Discuss a performance you saw recently - May 15 by AutoModerator  •  last post May 15th

Talk about a performance you saw recently, in any medium-stage, TV, film. Good or bad; what did you like about it? What didn't seem to work? The more specific the better.

Wrong Path? by Miyoskamin_Iskwew  •  last post May 15th

So I recently got accepted into the University of Calgary, this uni in Alberta. I'm taking a major in Drama. Honestly, I'm very happy. I had great doubt about whether I would be accepted anywhere at all. And my original goal all along was to study acting. But the cost of boarding for the first year alone is over $10,000 Canadian\(which is sad since I missed a good joke but anyway.\) Is it stupid to pursue Acting in university when it's so very unlikely that I'll pay it off? Am I making the wrong choice?

Nabbing an Agent by Jackie Sass  •  last post May 14th

Hello all! My headshots and demo reel aren't exactly what I want them to be, but I'm hesitant to invest more money in these when the agency may want me to market myself differently. Do you make sure your headshots and demo reel are the epitome of perfection before applying to agencies, or do you submit when you can? Thanks Loves! <3

Self tapes by Slava Babenkov  •  last post May 14th

Hi everyone, I have a question. How do you make self tapes with action scenes? With moving, jumping, shooting, etc. Do you do all that actions or you concentrate only on lines and trying to minimize actions? For example, I have two-three pages of the scene, but there are only 3-4 lines, other is actions and lines of other charecters. Thanks!

Outside the phone, outside the internet by MauriceBornia21  •  last post May 14th

So, i got so much inspiration and thought so much about my current life today that i want to make a change on it. Let's make it fast: i spend too much time on my cellphone and say that's okay because with it i can learn theoric things on acting and filmmaking, both of the disciplines i want to be really good on. But that's mostly a lie. So, i want to make things outside my phone, outside the internet. Something that helps me being a better actor without the help of a device. What are the things you currently do? What do you think i should do? Excercises, any special classes that i should take, any book that i should read, ANYTHING that pops into your head. Thank you, folks.

I'm an actor. I write, direct, and act in little no-budget shorts. I'm trained. I have shit to say. A lot of shit to say. I want to expand my network.

A group of positive people working together to lift us ALL up, share our personal connections and knowledge, and hold each other accountable for career progress. Write me here, PM me, whatever. Let's get together and create the stuff we want to act in. Let's make our passion projects. Let's get some shit into film festivals. Let's help each other get agents, or better agents. LETS DO THIS!

Where to get a demo reel made in NYC? by NimbusCloud1  •  last post May 14th

I noticed Actors Connection offers to make a demo reel with two to three scenes. It comes with a three-week class including a casting director who directs you through the process. They provide the crew and locations and actors to work with. I think it costs about $750.  Has anyone done  this demo reel course or can you recommend something similar?

Is it considered unprofessional or bad in any way to take your own headshots? by thatguykev  •  last post May 13th

I don't think I can afford professionally done headshots at this time. Right now I'm just looking to apply to work as an extra. I enjoy photography and I don't mind taking my own headshots with my own camera. Of course, I would put effort into taking these portraits. I...
