Do you use any type of psychoanalytic technique in character development?

This is something I've been curious about for a while. Personally, I've been a big fan of Jung for a bit now. When I learned about the connections between psychoanalysis and dianetics something in my mind clicked. Like, the whole Scientology thing is very...

Help me understand Jeff Seymour's approach

I've seen a few really positive references to Jeff Seymour's "Real Life Acting" podcast and book, and I'm four or five episodes into the podcast and I'm not getting it. I certainly get his premise that many acting techniques can overly complicate things for...

What is the skill level of the *average* working actor?

In your opinion or observation... I would say based on what I've seen, average isn't all that great. Certainly some actors are amazing. But even the average working actor doesn't seem to be too remarkable. What do you think?

How do I know if it's too late to receive a callback?

I had an audition today around 7:15 PM, and it's currently 11 PM where I live. Callbacks are tomorrow evening. I am a beginning actor, so it's killing me wondering if I should have been notified by now. When is a good time to assume I haven't been called back?

How important is a good/famous agent?

I have been offered an audition for a lead in an American Tv show. Highly acclaimed network. I’m not American nor do I have a visa. I’m sure that wouldn’t be a problem otherwise the Casting Director and my agent wouldn’t offer me an audition. However I don’t...

Do casting directors care/notice if you don't send in a self tape for a role you submitted for on Actors Access?

Basically, I have an audition due today for a really cool role, but I'm not satisfied with the final product. It was a last minute self-tape, and with the time I had I wasn't able to get it to where I wanted it to be. I did put in my best effort, though...

Actors with agents: how did you get your agent?

I know there are all different ways to get an agents attention so I'm trying to see how the majority of people land representation. Did you submit to them and get a response back for an interview? Did you have a friend refer you to them? Were you noticed at a...

What to expect from an acting short course?

I want to do a short course in acting, just because I think I might be good at it and I want to try it out. However I’m not sure what to expect, which makes me nervous. My irrational fears: - I’ll show up and in the first class I’ll have to stand in front of...

How to know whether you’re actually good?

I get told a lot that I’m a good actor but because it’s always from friends, family etc. I feel like I have no idea whether I’m actually good at acting or whether they just tell me I am so my feelings aren’t hurt. Advice please?

GOT Actors

Hello all, I'm sure I'm not alone when I say I'm a game of thrones fan. I think that show really pushed me to persue acting (at a drama school in the U.K across the Atlantic for me). bc of how much I love the characters and I wanted to be apart of something...

Middle eastern actors...

Do you have any tips for getting SAG roles or moreso the opportunity to read for SAG roles. I have an agent, read for LA agent - she will sign me once I book a SAG role even if it is a one liner. Literally no idea what to do besides just wait but I have been...

My ideal type of acting would be to have roles on TV shows, but I really don't want to be famous. Are there any options for me?

It sounds like a silly question I know, but is there a way to try out exclusively for small roles which may for example be a reccurring character who only says a few lines every few episodes? I'm thinking of times I'll google who an actor is, and they'll have...

Becoming a voice actor

The number one thing you have to do to be a successful voice actor is get acting training. It's voice ACTING, after all. Assuming you're doing that, THEN what do you do? There's so much more to it, just like there's so much more to on-camera acting. I teach a...

When is it appropriate to use a coach for assistance on a role?
