    Does anyone have experience taking online (like virtual live classes, not recorded) acting class/lessons with a teacher or studio in another city? I’m a music teacher and can’t relocate or leave my job at this time. I have never taken acting classes, but have...

    What makes actors great

    I saw “All of us are dead” on netflix, I really enjoyed it. Along with other movies and shows, what do you think makes an actor great. Can you tell when an actor is relaxed?

    As a male actor, can I have piercings?

    Hello everyone! Hope you are all well! Saw that there are “no stupid questions” so I figured why not ask: I am going to UBC in Vancouver to study a BFA in Theater & Acting, so happy and excited to go to a new country as well (never seen snow before so that’ll...

    Why is "street casting" still a thing?

    I just read the variety (?) article about the actress who was going to play Rue in Euphoria before Zendaya was scouted by the casting agent, which is how they cast Angus Cloud. Do they literally just go up to a random person and say "Hi, you look like you...

    Anybody here have a positive experience using Talent Link through Actors Access/Breakdown Services? Or any negative experiences? I’m wondering if it’s worth coughing up the fee or not — thanks!

    How to land representation in other states?

    I am a Northwest actor with a lot of experience in the business. I have pretty decent materials, and quite a few (regional) credits. I am trying to figure out if it is at all realistic to think that I can find representation in other markets where I don’t...

    Great actors = Enormous baggage?

    A lot of the greatest actors to have ever lived (and lots of other great working actors as well) have and have had a lot of serious personal struggles and problems. Struggles/problems like family and relationship issues, drug/sex/porn addictions, mental...

    HELP. HELP. HELP. Please.

    I feel the constant, consuming need to be good/great as an actor. I’m trying to shed the need and desire to be a great actor in favor of trying to create as an actor/artist for the love of it and the character that I’m portraying. It’s so damn f\*\*king hard...

    How do I know if I'll make a good actress?

    I have wanted to be an actor since I was like…4 years old. I suppressed it because I thought my family would disapprove. Now that I'm 18 I want to take steps towards getting into acting, but I just don't know if I would be any good. I'm not emotionless, but I...

    Is Momentum Talent a good agency?

    I see they are stationed at Warner Bros and have a couple positive reviews, but I can’t find anything about their clients/projects/success online, and they don’t post about their current actors on Instagram like other agencies (which makes me wonder if a lot...

    Agency "double dipping?"

    I'm just trying to gauge how common this is. In my area (a medium market), it's common for a contract with an agency to include a clause saying they're entitled to their 10-20% *in addition to* the 20% that productions will often tack on. To me, it seems like...

    PR

    Hello! When should actors get a PR team behind them? Does it help up-and-comers get more roles/visibility - especially if they aren't in a current show or movie? I have worked professionally in film, TV, commercials, VO, but I do have solid rep. Auditioning...
