    Acting Class: Investment or Waste of Money?

    I have a dream of being one of the next great actors of a generation, but where do I start? Get cast in short films and work up from there? Acting class? Backstage? I wanna take the leap, but just need a direction to jump into. Thanks in advance!

    So, I’m a 16 (soon to be 18) year old female. I know what I want to do, and it’s acting. I live in Boise, Idaho and I’m finding it difficult to find a reputable agency or any experiences for my age range. I always thought if I can’t find an opportunity, then...

    Accents in Acting

    Many actors love working on accent as a layer of storytelling, but not all. Lately I have been doing a lot of thinking about this second group. If this is you, can you share with me the factors that are keeping you from jumping in with both feet? (Is it not...

    Reading sides

    Hi! So I’ve been sent some sides for a tapped audition, but there is a lot of dialogue between more than two people, and action that can’t really be shown from a self tape position. Does anyone have any tips for this? Thanks -Justine :)

    [RANT] I'm sick of being asked for a "selfie"

    I spent hundreds of dollars for pictures, from head shots to full length and in between. It seems as if everything I submit for wants a selfie and not my professional pictures. Ok, I get you want to see what I look like NOW, but here's my beef: If you want a...

    Why does it take so long to get paid for film jobs?

    So this is just a sort of general question, but I had a fellow actor reach out to me asking me if I had gotten paid for a project we recently worked on (which I hadn't) but it brought a question to my mind? Why does it always seem to take so long to get paid...
