As an actor, does anyone else find themselves being immersed in a show/film, and crying at an amazing performance, but sometimes it’s not just the performance that makes me cry, but the idea of acting in that moment, the idea of reaching into that deep place...

What makes an actor act bad?

Hello! I just watched a movie where I thought the acting wasn’t bad nor outstanding good. But in the reviews there are many people remarking the bad acting. (Film: The Utah Cabin Murders). Sure, maybe the acting was bad, but there have been several other...

If you are going to impersonate an accent, please please do your research and listen to authentic native speakers.

I know this is probably common sense for a lot of us. I can't tell you the number of times how often I come across someone's profile including they can do 15-20 accents and it is so far off the mark. I just kinda cringe when I see a lot of folk saying on...

The approval problem

I really try not to fall into the trap of my sense of self-worth depending on someone's approval of me, but I can't escape it sometimes. I have a show tomorrow and we had a final rehearsal tonight that some local theatre people came to see, including my first...

What do YOU wear to auditions?

I think a thread of talking about what we all wear to auditions could be a fun way to get to know the range of options depending on field, level, and person. I'll go first: I'm a regional stage actor. My go-to for auditions is black jeans that I can move in...

Acting Scene in Seattle

Hello Fellow Actors! I was wondering what the Film/TV acting scene was like in Seattle currently. Is it still practically non existent? Is there anybody living in the Seattle area that consistently books in Vancouver? Is the drive feasible or a bit much?

So I’ve been with this manager (“Anna”) for almost a year. She used to work with another manager who left the company and since then Anna has been very busy and distant. She has a good amount of clients, like around 40. Out of them, she has more than a...
