I want to be a part time actress at some point. It won't last forever, and it definitely won't be my main source of income. (or any source)

I'm not from the US, or Canada, or the UK. (Or Australia) Is there a way I could act in films for international film festival's? And are overseas agents really looking for people other than Americans? Sorry if I'm asking stupid questions, I'm new to a lot of...

Question regarding "basic" skills (this is embarrassing)

I am a beginner in most aspects of acting, but one thing I'm sure of, is that when it comes to starting their careers, actors can't afford to be picky. In my case, I mostly have opportunities to act in theatre, in a TV commercial, or act as an extra for...

Advice for fixing my voice- sibilance looms large.

Agent told me not to hold my breath..?

Reached out about an actor for a role in a short, and the agent said "Sure, but don't hold your breath because we're not really in the shorts market". Should I just pass and not waste energy sending an offer to them?

Making a Living As An Actor

So I’m very passionate about being an actor. Not trying to brag, but a lot of people around me have been saying I’ve got real natural talent and that if I were to pursue seriously, I’d be successful. And to be honest, I wouldn’t mind pursuing it. However...

Do any other actors out there not dream of becoming a professional?

I used to dream of becoming a famous Broadway actor back in high school, but in the past couple years have decided that I don't ever want to be famous. I want to be able to run errands and do day to day things and not have cameras following me around 24/7. I...

Don’t you find the odds depressing ?

They say you need talent and luck. I’m sure there are some exceptionally talented actors who never get a break. Or maybe you get some work but not enough to make it your full-time job. I always enjoy the acting, but I don’t love it to the point where I’m...
