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...

I have very little life experience, no friends, no social life, autistic and feel like my my ability to be a good voice actor is hindered because of this

It kinda sucks not being talented or good at anything enough to noticed or money for it. Like yeah I’ve gotten paid for voice acting but I’m still not at a place where I want to be. Also I paid for classes to even get the skills. I was never naturally gifted...

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...

How does one go about becoming an actor?

I am only 16 years old, but many close to me have said that I have a real talent in acting. However, I have never really used this "talent" to my advantage; I've never played a role in my school theater, nor have I ever tried auditioning for any role in a...

The acting world is competitive

I’m gonna be honest, I don’t know how much longer I can keep putting in the work. For as long as I can remember, being an actress was my dream, but landing a job is once in a blue moon for me, and I have lost hope that I can ever make it big time. I’m tired...

I need to make a voiceover for a project. I don't want to use a voice actor or text- to speech but also don't want to use my unaltered voice. I know that journalists often use voice distorters for interviews with people who require confidentiality, like...

Why Is Theatrical Acting More Prestigious Than TV/Film Acting?

There seems to be a stigma among many acting teachers and professional actors that theatrical acting is regarded higher for acting. It is more serious. Why is this? They also say movie acting is regarded higher than tv show acting? Why does this totem pole/ a...

So like the title says, I want to try getting into voice acting to contribute to some personal animation projects. I draw in an anime style (cliche as that is) and was already ok at acting in high school. I was thinking that if I learn how to do voice acting...

Bravery in acting

Acting coaches and actors always talk about being brave, or making the “brave choice,” but what does that mean exactly? I would love an example. If your goal is to truthfully convey what the writer has written, where is the room to make brave choices?
