    Best way to keep throat clear?

    Not a voice actor but record audio for video essays. I find that my throat can get flemmy and raspy like 3 paragraphs into a session. Any advice on how to remedy this so I can record longer without it sounding like I’m losing my voice?

    Fear of failure and expecting too much from myself

    I feel like I expect too much of myself as an actor because I internally feel a NEED to be successful, to be regarded and recognized as a great actor. I want to be loved as an actor. I need approval and acclaim. Because it’s what makes me feel worthy...

    Results vs journey of performances

    I think I’m more focused on the results of my performances rather than the journey. Like, I’m more focused on how my performances will appear to the audience and how they will reflect my talent and skills as an actor rather than me enjoying the experience of...

    First time

    Hello Reddit, I’m just starting to now realize what I want to be when I grow up, an actor. I’ve watched many tv shows and movies where in my mind I was like “I wish I could take part in this film” problem is is that I’ve never actually acted before and took...

    Is bringing tears on cue considered an acting talent?

    I can bring tears on command. I can bring tears to my eyes within minutes. I wanted to know if all actors can do that or only a few can. I have seen the likes of Tom Hiddleston, Bryce Dallas Howard, Daniel Kaluyya, Amy Adams and Anya Taylor-Joy bringing tears...

    How do actors/filmmakers work such long hours?

    Days that are 15+ hours long seem really daunting to me. It means have virtually no free time or even time to do work (memorizing, preparing etc) if someone leaves for work in the dead of the night and gets back at night again. How do they have a social life...

    Anyone use the Castability.actor app?

    I saw it in Audrey Helps Actors IG stories today. The concept is very interesting, but I’m always suspicious when any actor competition style app sends the winners to “industry” people without naming who the people are or listing success stories of past...

    Help with measuring success as an actor

    One of my own biggest problems with acting in the way that it inhibits my growth and passion is that I think of success and worth as an actor as receiving awards/recognition, positive things that people say about your performance, how much talent you have...
