    Have you ever turned down a role?

    Have you ever turned down a role. And I don't mean an audition, because I'm sure we're all done that, but actually booked something and then said no? I have only twice \(I think\). The first was a long time ago and a student film. I was cast as a 16 year...

    I am almost done with my freshman year of college, and in this year, I have been getting very involved in acting. In fact, I've recently declared a theatre minor because of this sudden interest in acting. I am just curious if there is any important...

    Hey all, New to the sub and fairly new to acting as a profession. I've always been passionate AF about acting but in the last year things are blowing up in crazy ways in regards to me acting on stage. Recently, I have been working with a singular director...

    How do you feel about self-taping?

    You love it? Hate it? Think it's fair that actors are expected to audition themselves? Not fair? You feel technically competent to produce a good looking and sounding audition? One that is as good as what you'd get in a casting office? Curious how people feel...

    I’m starting to freak out a little.

    I started pursuing this back when I was 17; I did a couple student films, popped up in a TV show for a few minutes, then a handful of commercials, and suddenly I’ve got myself an agent. Now all my auditions feel really official, I’m having meetings in casting...

    Are you taught to put a piece of food in your mouth and not chew it and talk with it sat there? Watching Tomb Raider, she bites an apple, let’s it rest on her tongue and speaks. Big Lebowski he straight up talks with liquid in his mouth - these are not...
