I haven’t sought representation because of my day job. Is this a mistake?

Hi guys, I’ve been studying acting for 3 years (2 in person, and then taking a few online classes throughout the pandemic). I haven’t sought commercial or theatrical representation because I didn’t think I was ready in my training, but also because I have a...

Known actors with day jobs

Had a random thought earlier. With so much media in production now it seems so many actors can’t all be making a sustainable living off acting alone unless they’re A list celebrities or around that mark. I’m new, very new, to even considering doing what I...

Where should I look for auditions?

I’m a fairly new actor, and I have no clue how to find auditions. I see adds on Facebook for auditions here and there but they seem a bit sketchy. And I really dislike backstage because it seems like you can only use it to your advantage if you are...

How do I get my younger brother signed?

My (11 year old) brother has always been a naturally talented actor, but the other day he was acting out a scene in front of me for fun, and I was beyond shocked at how talented he is. He was scouted by an agency a few years ago and got accepted after...

Technically, this is a hosting gig, but it is still on camera and I still have a script. I was cast on Sunday, they changed the topic three times, couldn’t find the time to call me and didn’t show up to their zoom meeting, had a hard time providing...

I would like to do some YouTube videos, any ideas?

I love the idea of having my own channel with me being a (bad) actor. I read a lot about acting but I ask you if you have any ideas of what to put there: monologues? Unfortunately I can't attend any classes so it is mostly to improve, nothing serious. Thank...

When to seek an acting agent?

Name me an successful actor under 40 who wasn't born into Hollywood

I don't why people around here assume the attitude that if you work hard in the acting industry, you will be successful. Nearly everyone under 40 who is big was born into Hollywood. Is it because famous actors gain a benefit from the rags to riches story, or...

Who is Responsible when the prop gun an actor shoots goes off and kills someone? #AlecBaldwin #Rust

The prop should be fake? right? So did the prop master mess up? The director directed the actor to do the behavior. The script writer wrote the action.. Somehow the actor who has been hired to do things dictated by others. SHOULD that person be responsible?

I'm an American, but I have a knack for accents, particularly AUS/NZ. I get far more paid work doing Australian voice overs than I do US. Since there are excellent Australian actors - and I'm not so full of my own bs to think I'm THAT good - is it just luck...
