Where is a good acting studio for my situation in Los Angeles?

So I want to practice acting and gain the skills and learn from it but don’t want to be a professional actor. TV/film type of acting scripts would be preferred over theater. Thanks btw.

Slateshots on Actor’s Access

I have a reel and headshots. I read in the search bar that you need to have Slateshots to push you towards the top. Do you need slateshots attached to all the headshots you submit with? Do you need new Slateshots when you update your headshots?

Casting Director, using throwaway so I can be honest. Sometimes actors make me hate my job.

Actors who reach out to casting directly - you are not entitled to a response, ever. As human beings, a principle that everyone understands is that just because another human being wants something from you, it doesn't entitle them to it. Since Covid started...

Aspiring and working actors - how much effort into your appearance do you put in.

I'm 36 and new to acting - I'm self-conscious about my skin and my figure and I was wondering if everyone else puts quite a bit of effort in being film/tv friendly, appearance-wise. Do you have a strict regime or just let it slide. I'm not against improving...
