I kind of want to be an actor but im not sure

I really admire people who act, and I think it would be fun to just try out a small role as a one off or something just to see if I have what it takes to be an actor, but at the same time I’m really scared. I haven’t talked with my parents about it (im almost...

Actor's Access loading super slow?

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing really slow load times on Actor's Access? My internet is fine, and other websites are loading very reliably, but for some reason Actor's Access is painfully slow and intermittent, often getting a "can't load"...

Acting and Cannabis Consumption

UK actors: how many auditions do you get on average per month/year?

I'm in a little bit of a pickle. My agent, good as they are, got me about 7 auditions so far in 2021. My previous agent before that got me 3 auditions throughout the entirety of 2020. Before that I was a student so didn't have an agent. However I've been...

Question to working actors in regards to savings.

First of all, hello! My question is: if you had a job where you made $60,000 a year, how much would you save before leaving to pursue acting? That’s the amount of money I make yearly. I’m fortunate enough to be in a situation where I am not currently asked to...

Trying to find an ongoing self- tape re-tape class without having to join a cult. Why does everything have to be such a gimmick/scam?

I'd just like to participate in a  group of actors who share self tapes, get feedback from an instructor, and then do a re tape and get more critique. I've had some success with short-term classes that do this but then they either end or to continue sharing...

Unconsciously Acting like I see in films.

Hey everyone, Had a acting class last night with a reputable acting coach, and I was told that my acting is too much based in film and not authentic to me as a person. To clarify; that I am unconsciously doing what I've seen famous actors do in their films...

Piercing your ears as a male actor?

I'm sure this sort of post has been on here plenty, but I want to get my ears pierced. Is it going to cause problems for me as an actor? I know I have to wait 6 to 8 weeks before I can take them out, but is it going to be a serious problem even after that?...

Friction between me & my agent - advice please

Music videos are my favorite form of acting.

Between the dance sequences, the storylines, the themes, the dramatic acting music videos are so fun to watch. The theme of the song makes the actors appear as they’re either having the best or worst times of their lives and I feel in my bones. I grew up...

Is there a zoom class that is all about self taping? I don't want to do any acting in the class- just watching each other's self tapes and then re taping them and sharing them again.

I took a class like this with Randy Kovitz over the summer and really enjoyed it but he's not teaching it again. I also liked Anthony Robert Grasso's class. I audited it. But he doesn't do self tapes. They just prepare for self tapes by rehearsing in class. ...
