Let's Collaborate (LA) by kondaguey • last post Mar 5th
The biggest thing I have heard here in LA thus far is "make your own stuff." Great. Then let's do it. I am a highly trained actor with an eye for directing and a talent for writing. I want to collaborate with other talented and like-minded people in LA to make something successful and that has to be talked about in the industry. I know that sounds wishful, but it's not. Let's do this. There are plenty of spaces to rent out for filming/meeting up. With the right people and non-flakiness this will happen. DM me with your skillsets/experience/education and let's make a film while enjoying the process the entire way. Cheers, new friends.
actors access/showfax question by neutralcalculation • last post Mar 5th
i'm such a moron sometimes - i just did my first submission for a role on actors access and only had my headshot and resume info on the submission. i didn't realize i was supposed to/could get the sides from showfax & send in a video audition. is it too late to go back and edit my submission? i can't figure it out.
[UK] Serial conman, Carl Mould, returns with scam targeting actors by br-rand • last post Mar 5th
Can I get some feedback on my demo reel? I tried posting on "reel talk" but that seems to be a pretty inactive thread. by caalittlemiss • last post Mar 5th
Looking for some feedback on my current demo reel: https://youtu.be/CZokQyuB-CM I made it myself as best I could. I've done several projects but, unfortunately, I've only ever gotten the footage back from these three, despite being promised I'd get my footage from the other ones. What I'm looking for in feedback: quality? (I know it isn't the greatest, but how do others see it?) the acting itself? (improvements?) length of reel? (should I remove anything?) agents/managers: what would you think if you saw this reel? (just to get an idea) & finally, any other type of feedback I may find helpful. Thanks in advance & curious to hear what other actors/agents/managers/directors/etc. see!

I [24F] have always dreamt of becoming an actress but my direction in life I heading towards corporate business. Too scared to start and feel like it’s too late by hopelessoptimist_ • last post Mar 4th
I have always dreamed of becoming an actress. I have no real formal acting training, unless drama class in high school counts (which I know it really doesn’t). I grew up very academically minded and grades came before everything. I wasn’t even involved in many extracurricular activities other than piano lessons and “academic related” extracurriculars, including debate. My event that I competed in debate was on the “interpretation” side of debate, so I competed by performing prose and poetry. I loved it and I loved acting out in front of people, being able to transform myself into whoever through whichever piece I was performing, using no props or tools other than myself, and expressing it all through words and emotion. And I was honestly pretty good at it. Anyways, I recently graduated from university with a business related degree. I come from a family of business people and entrepreneurs, so I am pretty much expected to follow their path. My heart always told me to go to a liberal arts college, but “liberal arts majors don’t find jobs”. So I stuck to business. My family is supportive of whatever I want to do, but they always tell me to be “realistic”. What’s realistic is for me to get a corporate job in a firm and work my way up. Maybe eventually start my own business. I think I’d do well for myself in business, but I feel like life is too short to work every day doing something you aren’t truly passionate about. I am leaning more towards creative industries, but the positions I’d work in are still very much business-related. It’s very much “safe”. I dream about a life where I can express my emotional side (I’m a pretty emotional individual. Not sensitive— emotional), and my creative side. I’ve always been into the arts whether it’s music, visual, or film. I know acting can be a lucrative career if you do well, but that wouldn’t be the sole purpose. I feel like I’d truly love it. I have just instilled into my head, like many others, that you find a job out of college that is safe and then work your way up. But I dont want to be just another number in the corporate world. That’s what my heart is telling me. But I am also 24 years old now and feel like it might be too late. I know many entertainers start their journey at a young age. Does anyone have any advice on this career path and if they had a similar experience? Any tips on how to get started and see if I actually have a real shot at it (baby steps)? Is it too late for me at 24? Anything at all would help. **tl;dr:** My life is currently heading towards me having a corporate job in business, but I dream of being an actress. I have very minimal experience acting, but from what I’ve experienced, I love it. Any advice for someone who is too scared to truly go for it? Is it too late?

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!
