Drunken Thought While Watching Marvel's Shang Chi...

I did it! I took the first step!

I finally worked up the courage to apply for a role. I’m sure I won’t get it because my profile on actors access is thin at best. But I have it a go!! That’s a win in my book any day.

Am I SAG eligible if I’m abroad and in a SAG movie?

I live abroad and was cast as a supporting role in a movie. We shot a few years ago. There was a well known American sag actor in the movie. I’m American…. if the movie was sag (I’m assuming it is because the actor who is in sag was in it), does this make me...

Let's talk about Wendy Alane

Okay. I followed a webinar of hers. She has a very sweet attitude and I've been following her for a long time. I thought, let's see what she has to offer. What she has to offer is ripping you of your money, making you look like a not professional actor, and...

Just got cast in my first musical as an adult (19M). Unfortunately, only as an understudy.

I've spent a month preparing to audition for "25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" . I showed up to both audition nights, which we were allowed to do. I gave it my all but still managed to botch 1 note in my audition song both times. I am grateful that I...

Hey, actors' agents: how do I get a one-man show into the hands of one of your clients?

Do I write you a nice note? Do I send you the script? Do I write you a nice note and ask permission to send HIM the script? Is he too busy? Are YOU too busy? Do you get, like, eighty or ninety of these things a day?

I paid for a manager and agent. Here is why i'm happy I did.

Back in 2016-2017 I was booking some projects here and there in my local area. None were paid and I just got rejected from one of the biggest talent agencies in my area (probably the only legit one in my area too). Around that time I was bullied in a...

How successful would Mel Blanc (or a person like him) be in the modern age of voice acting?

Quite curious, because one could argue that he was the one of (if not the best) voice actor of the 20th century or still is depending on who you ask. And I think he would be held in high regards in the modern day entertainment industry, but I'm curious to...
