    Worst Free Porject I've Taken Part Of

    So, a few weeks ago, I saw a post on one of my state's many acting Facebook groups. It was for a slasher/horror film. Of course, it was a free project and I decided to throw my resume in despite having no care in the world if I got in or not. For a little...

    Background should have its own sub

    This sub gets bogged down with questions about background work and I think it should have it's own sub. This is not a slight against those who do background work. It is challenging work and essential to tv/filmmaking. But it is not acting, and has nothing to...

    Is the classic Hollywood Dream dead?

    Is it possible to move to LA or NY, pay your dues, take classes, and actually get somewhere anymore? Not necessarily being the biggest star ever over night but I mean can somebody who isn’t an influencer or a person without connections, wealth, and nepotism...

    Wearing glasses as an actor?

    How often do CDs extend audition deadlines?

    I got a self tape request through ecocast a day ago for a network series regular pilot. By the time I got a reader to help me tape, I did my audition last minute and submitted to my agent about 5 minutes past the deadline due to difficulties uploading the...

    Acting in Horror (and screaming question)

    I'm a female actor cast in my first horror project (and my first project since 2019 thanks covid) but I have no idea how to pull this off. I'd love to hear some techniques from other actors, especially ones who have acted in a project where they get killed by...

    agencies

    Look Models & Actors said that I would have to pay a $35 consultation fee because I’m not already in the industry, is that a thing agencies do? I thought Look was reputable but it’s giving scam.

    LGBT Actors- how do you play "Straight?"

    I've been cast to play a straight man in a love triangle with 2 women, and I'm gay. I'm not very flamboyant or feminine, but it's not totally far fetched either to pin me as not straight. How have you dealt with this before? How can I be as believable as...

    Acting more butch as a feminine man
