Worth it to try Actors Connection? by maxcartman • last post Mar 4th
So I'm a college kid in NYC just starting out with acting. I don't really have much experience beyond high school theater and college acting courses. Is it worth it to take some actors connection intensives or will it be way above my skill level and a waste of money to just embarrass myself in front of the casting directors? Should I wait until I've taken more classes and feel more confident in my abilities or just go for it?
When do you first remember wanting to be an actor/actress? by KaleidoscopicKait • last post Mar 4th
For me, it was 2008-2009 so I was 12 or 13. This is embarrassing but Disney's movie Camp Rock had recently come out and after watching it, I became fascinated by the idea of acting and being on a set. It really got me looking into it but my interest eventually dwindled because of my severe lack of confidence at this time in my life (the desire was still there, though). I've recently become interested in it again out of the blue and I really feel motivated to be serious about it as I feel more confident in myself and my abilities now as an adult.
Does dance help? by Blackturtleneckgirl • last post Mar 4th
Hello- I'm an acting student. I'm very new and have to work passed a lot of timidness. I'm wondering if anyone has tried dance or movement classes? Any particular ones that are helpful for actors? I've seen that a lot of drama schools teach movement and dance as part of core curriculum. I'm pretty stiff honestly and think this could only help. Any class suggestions are helpful.

New to acting and need to submit an audition tape for a project. How do I do? by asrielwi • last post Mar 3rd
Perhaps this has been covered elsewhere but I submitted to a project on actors access (totally new to acting) not expecting to hear back. Well I guess I must look the part because now I’m supposed to submit an audition tape. I’ve been given some sides, character backgrounds, and a general outline of the story. As someone who’s never done this before, how do I go about doing a video audition?
I think I'm "officially" non-equity. by TomSawyersFence • last post Mar 3rd
Hi all, community theater actor outside of the major markets here. Last night was opening night on my first paid production (tips), and I took home twenty bucks. I gotta say it feels pretty damn good. Just wanted to share a small victory on the path. Thanks for listening, all.

Casting A Feature! Actors near and around Chicago please apply. by Danfilmman • last post Mar 3rd
Hey, everyone, I'm casting a feature film. I have about 4 roles to cast. Two roles played by women in their early twenties and two roles by men in their early 20's to 30's. I'm not looking for anything specific. Just people willing to make a feature film. I'm looking for people who want to jump into their first or second feature. The whole project will be shot in a 4k sony a7sII camera and will look professional. Attached to the project is a former teacher at Baylor University who is helping us craft the script. As for compensation gas and food is covered for everyone on the cast and crew. We also could discuss a stipend of money you would get at the completion of the film as well as a percent of the film's backend revenue. I'm not promising the whole cow but I am promising we will be fair. So if this sounds good to you then reach out to me!

Theatre or Film course? by DensePiano • last post Mar 2nd
Hi, my goal is to be a film or television actor, and I want to study acting at college or university. Most of the courses seem to be theatre centric with some mention of working as a film actor. I have found some that teach acting for screen/film but they are not your standard BA in acting. I have seen that most famous actors who went to college/university studied theatre. So, what is my best option?
Any KC area actors out there? Need help getting back into the acting scene. by jaywagg • last post Mar 2nd
I have an associates in film and stage acting from KD Conservatory in Dallas. I graduated in 2014 and haven’t done a lick of acting since. I got in touch with an agent from Hoffman back in 2015 but she just wanted me to pay for more classes so I backed out. But now after being out of it for so long a little training probably isn’t the worst idea. Honestly I’m up for anything at this point. I’d even consider modeling for the time being. Just really looking for a place to get my foot back in that door. Whether that’s an agency, community theater, school projects, etc. Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

anybody want to start a lil script reading / filmmaking group in NYC? by NYCactordude2018 • last post Mar 2nd
repped union and breaking into tv/film in NYC at a painfully slow pace. i'd love to meet more actors, writers & directors in a similar boat, or maybe a step above & below that are interested in a weekly or monthly meet-up group to update their portfolio, network, and create passion projects for potential festival submissions. I write, direct and shoot lil baby short films and would like to take it to the next level with better equipment, an actual crew, etc. maybe write and produce each other's content / get a decent budget together for something of higher quality or a feature? i don't mind organizing this shit if people are legitimately interested and are as hungry/hard working/dedicated as I am. i'm 30 white male and read 21-35. PM me if interested
How much do physical imperfections matter in acting? by KaleidoscopicKait • last post Mar 2nd
Like I've seen actors of all shapes, sizes, etc., no single one is perfect. But I still feel really self-conscious about my looks and whether they'll interfere with me being able to do acting work. I had an accident when I was a kid where I was cut near the front of my left eyebrow and it's pulled it down noticeably so my eyelid looks different than my other one. The scar isn't even an inch long and you can only see an indent where I was cut but I absolutely hate how I look in head-on pictures/videos because of the asymmetry. I know I sound super insecure and probably sound like I'm overreacting (which I probably am, to be honest) but I was just wondering, from your own experience, do imperfections like these really matter in the acting industry? Do you have any of your own that were overlooked in the past? Thanks.
Got cast in my first equity production! What professional tips/advice would you give for this non-union actor? by King_Theseus • last post Mar 2nd

how to release yourself from wanting an acting career? by iguessimstuckhere88 • last post Mar 2nd
i always wanted this and I sacrificed everything, for too long. i got rep, and union, but none of that means anything. my rep does nothing for me, they won't even pick up the phone for me. I see young rich actors pay money for workshops and book roles. i've realized this industry has legit become a lottery for rich people to play. it's not about being a good actor anymore, it's all just bullshit. i want to release myself from this. i'm sure somebody reading this has quit, for good, in a healthy way. please show me how. i'm tired of torturing myself, i gave this all I had and then some, and other people just treat me like shit and fuck with me and prevent me from moving forward, so I really truly just want to be done and not feel regret anymore. everybody in this industry is a selfish asshole and i dont even want to think about them anymore. how do I get over this? how do I move on?
Genuine advice needed! by cvx2148 • last post Mar 1st
M23 Well, I am a beginner actor. Since my childhood, I have always been a great fan of action movies. I like watching fight scenes and enjoy imitating them with my friends or siblings. In my university, I have imitated quite some fight scenes with my friends and have received positive reviews from them. Now, I think I want to polish my skills and improve my acting ability (particularly in context to action movies). How do I move ahead? Also, how do I find probable actors or people who are willing to practice such scenes or sequences with me? Any suggestions would be of great help!
