Actors! What’s something you were told was very hard about this business that came surprisingly easy to you?

How did you know you wanted to be an actor?

How's your survival job going? Making enough to meet bills and be free for auditions? Want to just vent about it? Ask about other actors' jobs?

These conversations come up every so often, but I figured we could get an updated one!

Can't get natural tears on stage (advice needed)

Hi guys. I'm in drama school training to be an actor, attending my last year from September. Whether well-perceived or not by the audience, the ability to tear up is considered an additional asset for the actor. So far I've found myself incapable of crying...

I want to brainstorm. What are the best paths to stardom?

I think that if any of us were told what the price was that we had to pay in order to achieve the level of success we want in this business, than we would pay it. That being said the price itself is not inherent or obvious in any way. I watch my friends all...

Actor Website and Headshot Feedback

Hello! I'm new to reddit, so please be kind! My agency hasn't been very helpful with getting me auditions or giving me feedback on my new headshots/site, so I'd love to get some honest feedback and constructive criticism on my acting website from this...

How long are actors typically on avail?

As of 5 minutes ago it's been 3 days since my agent called to tell me I'm on avail for a national commercial. I officially sgned with them 8 days ago, so I wasn't expecting anything this soon. I'm used to just letting an audition go and forgetting about it...

Friendly reminder: Assume the best in people on this sub, not the worst

After a lengthy back and forth in a previous post because a person felt "insulted", I felt it would be a great time to discuss our ability to "choose" how to react to situations. As actors, we're all highly empathetic and sensitive people, it's the thing that...

I just hate the lack of feedback after auditions!

So I’ve been going in for various casting directors for various shows/films for about two years. Loving the journey even with its ups and downs, but I hate not receiving some feedback as to how I did or why I didn’t book after something like a callback or...

I feel I cannot morally or professionally continue to be a part of this company. Is there a tasteful way to leave a show?

To be brief (I'd originally typed an essay but who has time?) while I respect the people in this company, they a part of an archaic practice in theatre I find a tad systemically racist, and falsely darken the skin of actors. I did not know this would be part...

WHAT YOU THINK IS WHAT YOU ARE!

When I was a little kid, whenever someone said something mean to me, I would reply in a singsongy voice, "What you say is what you are". Now I'm an acting coach and I tell my students "What you think is what you are". It's really the key to authentic...

Why do people spam promote an acting studio/workshops?

Have y'all noticed how some people aggressively promote an acting studio's class on fb groups? I noticed some of my colleagues post promoting X classes at X studio. It was so weird because I am trying to figure out what they are getting out of it. These...

Why are harsh teachers often the norm? And how do I “just get over it”?

About to get into acting. Went to acting school, graduated and took care of my grandmother who was sick. Back now and basically starting over. I’m fine with being rejected in auditions. I am fine with critiques that are necessary but what i don’t understand...
