So a month ago I had an amazing audition for a TV show and a week later I had an availability check and notification that I would be called back, but to hold tight for more info. 3 weeks passed, absolutely nothing. This week I checked in with my agent to ask...

Any actors here have full on high-stake careers/specialties outside the fine arts? (Doctors, engineers, lawyers, etc.) How do you do it?

I was that kid in school that liked every subject - Biology, English, Chemistry, Drama, History - you name it, it was my favourite. In college now and I've narrowed it down to science or law but I love theatre. Like, a lot. I've managed to snag a backstage...

Anyone else ever feel that post film/play longing?

What I’m trying to describe is that after you finish a gig you have this longing, you don’t know when you’ll see your cast members again, and all the time you spent with them is likely to come to zero. Performance is coming up soon for our play at my college...

My natural self is anxious and animated.

I recently re-watched the famous Michael Cain video and now it's got me stiff as a block of wood and half as interesting. To be clear, I'm not blaming the program. I just feel that I am naturally animated when I talk. In life this has been called charming and...

Just saw a short film I was in and I was terrible in it. I'm baffled. I felt good during filming.

I felt great during filming, I felt like I got the character, I felt confident. I was eager to get the footage back to use on a reel but to my horror I was awful. Most of my interactions had been cut or they cut away as I was talking. And what little remained...

Can everyone be an actor and is it easy?

A lot of people say that everyone can be an actor, I never believed that but maybe it's just me. I've also read on the internet that it's really hard to get a job as an actor and make a living with it, is that true?
