Hey, can anyone recommend where to find good and worthy showcases in LA. Thanks
Wanted to start up a quick discussion that I think everyone could benefit from. We all know that expanding your network is very beneficial for actors. Getting to know other actors, CDs, coaches, and other industry professionals can lead you to or open doors for your career. That said, where...
I have always been interested in acting, do I have the talent for it, idk. I don't have to be the lead in a role, a background part would be fine , with just a line or two. How to get started?
I have created many blogs that will help both actors, photographers, commercial models and others in the industry. Let me know if this is a good place to share my blogs.
I have been a full-time actor for over 30 years and have been cast more than 1,200 times.
I know about voices.com and voice123. Other recommendations? There seem to be as many different 'top voiceover sites' lists as there are actual sites! Thanks in advance.
Hello everyone, my name is James and i would love the chance to even be an extra in a film. Can someone tell me how i can go about this?
Seems like some good $ to be had from this plus I need to expand my opportunities. Where to start? Which training institutions/courses would you recommend? Any relatively cheap that lead to the same qualification (incuding perception by others of qualification)? What’s the training timeline like? I’ll obviously do my...
Get a reel & clips that will actually get you in the room! I've been studying the process for four years while acting, & have seen the results in my own career with five episodic bookings & four features in the past not quite two years. Check out Breakthrough Reels on Facebook or at www.breakthroughreels.com, or shoot me an email at chris@breakthroughreels.com! Affordable & a perfected formula that works, so we as actors don't throw away MORE of our money on so-called 'professionals' who offer us services... -Chris (www.imdb.me/chrisbylsma)
Moved to NYC a few months ago and am trying to get my act together to go out for background and commercial auditions. I need professional headshots and have no idea where to start! It's a big investment and I want to make sure I'm getting my money's worth. How...
Hi guys! Seeing as we're all actors, I'm curious to hear what other people have learned through the inevitable hits and misses in the audition room. What are some practices that are utterly off-limits in the audition room? Do you shake everyone's hand upon entry? Can you start over if...
Hi. I have a South African English accent and live in LA. To those that have not heard this accent, it sounds like a mixture of British and Australian accents. Do casting directors want you to audition in your own native accent or audition with your best-effort American accent? Input...
So I just signed up, and now I can have a resume as part of my profile. Only thing is, I'm just starting to try acting more professionally, I have no legitimate acting credentials besides all the high school/summer shows I did (I'm a college freshman). What do I do?...
Hi everyone, I only start my acting career and I had a commercial shoot last weekend. Could I add this work to my credit or I need to wait when it will be ready? Thank you.
Hello, Could you please give me your thoughts and advice on what you think my casting is based on first impressions. What sort of parts I could play, age range, style etc. I want to know more about my casting so I know I'm going into the right audition rooms. Thanks! x
Is it possible to actually make a living doing extra work? Are there people who are able to do this full-time and make it work? I enjoy extra work and being around the filmmakers and sets, but have only done it sporadically.
Hi I am a 12 year old actress seeking roles for a 9-14 year old female roles. Please go to my website for more information www.esabellakarena.com
Looking for an older woman or gentleman for voice parts in episodes of my podcast that is based on the paranormal and unexplained. I'm preparing to start recording for my upcoming second season (12 episodes) and thought I'd open this up for some new voice actors/actresses. What I'm looking for specifically is someone to read a few paragraphs about supposed factual events as if they were true case files. I'd like whomever I select to sound like they were the host of "Unsolved Mysteries" or any other true crime/true haunt television show. At most, all I'll ever need is 5 to 10 minutes per episode of cold serious reading. (I'm starting this at $5 per episodes, one episode a month for a 12 month season, but I'm willing to be flexible depending on experience and performance.) Please message me if you have any questions!
I have had some dalliances in acting before and I am wondering who I could connect with in the NYC to help build a portfolio etc with because acting is going to be my main focus now.
Where can i find movie casting calls?
