Can you see submissions from agent on AA and castingnetworks? by flowuriy • last post May 10th
As the title says, is there a way for me to see everything my agent submitted me for on Actors Access and castingnetworks.com? Or can I only see things that I’ve submitted myself for?
Headshot-Age Range-Character Type Post - May 10 by AutoModerator • last post May 10th
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.
My scene partner's lack of patience is stifling my impulses. by Throwawaywts • last post May 10th
For the play I'm doing right now, most of my dialogue is with just one other character. I'm making a concerted effort to listen, and sometimes that means that it takes an extra moment for me to say my line. I'm not talking about full on pauses or silence, we're talking 0.5 seconds here. It all depends on when the impulse arises. Problem is, my scene partner keeps moving on. She won't wait and really listen to my line. It's almost like she has a metronome going in their head, and speaks only at pre-determined time intervals. This makes it difficult for me to work because I have this constant insecurity that I need to say my line quickly or else she'll just start talking; the train will leave with out me. The director has even asked her to give me some time on a couple occasions, but she just moves back to old habits. She's a good actress, but this is really starting to interfere with my exploration of the character. What to do?
In need of urgent help and advice for an audition on monday! by ryandavis95uk • last post May 10th
If there was ever a time I needed this communities help it's definitely now! I'm 23 years old and haven't acted since I was 19 at college. I was very very passionate about acting and wanted to be an actor though life got hard at 18/19 and I lost faith in myself. I went to uni and left acting behind though it has always stayed in the back of my mind as regret for not carrying on. Recently I've been desperately yearning for acting again. I saw an open casting call for a new BBC drama about two months ago and thought fuck it, I'll apply. Sent a quick impromptu headshot in and just yesterday I received an invite to the casting workshop on Monday in Manchester. It is an 'improvised acting workshop' for a lead role in a new BBC drama called World on Fire. I'm writing here to ask for either tips, tricks, advise, anything that might help me prepare a little bit or know what to expect. I haven't acted in four years and I know I used to be good at it and still can be with some help. Please Reddit!

My agent has submitted me for 8 auditions but I was only asked in for 1 - does this mean she's a bad agent? by FluffyWof • last post May 10th
I've recently only received one actual audition, and was wondering why I wasn't being asked in at all. So I had a look at my submissions via the casting websites and found out that my agent had submitted me for 8 roles since January 2018, but that I had only been asked to audition for one. Does it have anything to do with the fact that I am of Asian ethnicity? Or does this mean she is a bad agent? She's not a top tier agent for sure, but she is very nice to me and does get me a fair few auditions. Now it makes sense why me scoring only 2 roles out of 5 auditions isn't an issue for her; I thought for sure she'd be disappointed in me! Is she just submitting me for everything she can without thinking if I'm of name enough and she doesn't have the power to get me in either?

Skillshare anyone? by neverforgetdream • last post May 9th
I have a feeling this will be pretty hard to get off the ground. But I'd like to ask the question to see if there is any interest anyway. I'm sure I'm not alone in this on reddit, but one thing I have in my background is web dev. And it got me thinking. I'm sure there are amateur actors on here who could benefit tons from having a website, but who probably can't afford one right now. Would there be any interest in setting up a support group of sorts (skillshare) where say... I write you a website, you write me a script, whatever.. Very loose idea, but one with promise. Let me know if this sounds even remotely interesting.

Is it more beneficial to improve physical skills, or musical skills? by FluffyWof • last post May 9th
Hey y’all! I’m not a huge fan of physical activities, I can do a fair few things okay, namely horse riding, badminton, sword fighting and dance, but I’m not highly skilled and don’t enjoy them much. (I would totally invest in the training if I got a role and it was required of the role.) I work out because it’s healthy, but I prefer running to all of the above. However, I am a musician and gladly spend hours on piano playing, singing with my ukulele and composing songs. But it seems that action movies are really a strong way to book roles and advance a career...so I guess my question is, should I stick with my music abilities and continue to advance them, or grit my teeth and get better at the physical stuff? Especially as I’m Asian so that stereotype of knowing karate still pervades.

Actors Acess/Breakdown services still a damaging predatory scam in the biz hurting the industry by JimmyDoes • last post May 9th
STAY AWAY form Actors Aess and Breakdown Express whether agent,studio, network or actor.Run by Gary Marsh,who operates like some kind of wanna be mob b-o-ss and is a discriminatory service that potentially breaks multiple laws by not allowing professional actors(SAG or otherwise) to see ALL the jobs available.His sites Talentink, Actors Access and Breakdowns are at best dsicrimatory and predatory and at worst some are an outright scam. He operates Actors Access( non paying mostly non union gigs that actors a can see) and Breakdowns(the paying jobs that no one can see except a few agents-so another words.. jobseekers(actors) cannnot even see available paying jobs ..and many agent studios do not even use the site now ).Gary Marsh discriminates who and who cannot see job postings and peronsally.If he doesnt like you he blocks you or makes it difficult.He is totally unprofessional and a scab....he discriminates personally against peole and groups , agents and casting directors. Actors,agents and casting directors have all had problems with him through the years. His staff are rude. They pprovide no decent service to anyone and had a stranglehold on the industry through predatory and discriminatory practices. Most do not use them now including major agents and studios..Stay away and use the myriad of other good bonafide non discriminatory casting services,such as LA casting, casting frontier, or just contact agents,casting directors and networks direct.
How often are you booking from your own submissions vs submissions from your agent? by thetendy • last post May 9th
Finally got my MFA, a commercial agent, a theatrical agent, and moved to NY. Been here for three days and I'm waiting outside for my first interview for a survival job. Suddenly... I'm feeling a little dread about this job. Won't any time spent working be time I could otherwise spend scanning the breakdowns for work? The other half of me thinks, great, I have an agent, I don't *have* to be the one constantly submitting myself. But wouldn't it help? Those of you with representation, how often are you submitting yourself and booking this way?
Not sure how to approach a dual career by Franklint • last post May 9th
Hi everyone, Sorry, I know the board gets lots of questions like this. I'm a male actor. I feel conflicted and am after some advice (and need to write out my thoughts). Like many of you, no doubt, the decision of whether to pursue acting vs. something more stable took me a long time to reconcile with. Ultimately, I decided that the lifestyle of a survival job just doesn’t suit me at this stage. I don’t like the idea of not having stable career advancement options, and don’t want to work in something I’m not passionate about day to day. After a year of auditioning and training in NYC a few years ago (booked two small-scale musicals), I’m now three years into medical school and am 25. I’m loving it, and am not interested in backing out. It’s a good, stimulating career, and my current thoughts are to specialise in emergency medicine. But here I am, in New York, at a conference, seeing Anastasia, and I have the theatre pangs again. My spirit is touched by amazing musical theatre, and I can’t put into words how uplifted it makes me feel. I don’t actually fancy all of the work that actors do, such as screen. That’s not to say I wouldn’t do it, but it doesn’t drive me as much. What I really want to be doing is high-level musical theatre. Of course, I appreciate that the likelihood of this is reduced if you aren’t working every day as a performer. Is it realistic to train hard, build your craft, with a view to book a few great jobs? More generally, what do I do? What would you do? At the moment, I do quite a bit of community theatre, and train fairly consistently. Is it reasonable to just hit up professional theatre auditions and work towards a union card? I would drop everything if I scored an amazing role or a great show. My father (also a doctor) says I'm the kind of person who will finish the degree and then not actually end up working in medicine, haha. I would love to speak to any professionals who also pursue acting more seriously than as a hobby. I also consider that emergency medicine potentially opens doors for consulting on medical TV shows, etc. Thanks so much! In confusion, Will
A) Unify under one brand or B) Keep my services distinct? by Str8OttaCompton • last post May 9th
*TLDR: Unify pursuits under one brand and accept the challenge of different target audiences, or keep them distinct and accept the challenge of disparity?* I'm in the entertainment industry, and I'm taking a few months to look at my personal branding. I've done some work on it, establishing a loose umbrella brand for my primary pursuits; **screenwriting, acting, and nerdculture** (livestreaming and webcontent related to TTRPGs, books, etc). At the moment, I keep these things separate - different social media accounts, different branding (colors, logos, etc; I only have time for basics). The only place they're unified is on my website and in occasional social media cross-promotion. ### The question is whether I should unify under one brand or keep them distinct. Put out all my content in the same social media, etc... ### **Challenges:** I'm looking for different audiences for each. With screenwriting I want to target professionals and their support staff, with acting I want to reach representatives and Indy filmmakers, and with the nerdculture side of things I want to target a wide, young crowd. Any input is appreciated.
