Black or actors of color, what are your acting/casting experiences?

Personally I find that I have to work not just twice but 1000x harder than nonblack or white actors. I feel that there is no room for mistakes when you’re a poc. I saw nonblack newbie actors make mistakes, and everyone laughed it off. But when I did everyone...

Hello Fellow Actors! I was wondering what the Film/TV acting scene was like in Seattle currently. Is it still practically non existent? Is there anybody living in the Seattle area that consistently books in Vancouver? Is the drive feasible or a bit much?

My manager left me, and I was about to leave her too, but still I’m really down.

So I’ve been with this manager (“Anna”) for almost a year. She used to work with another manager who left the company and since then Anna has been very busy and distant. She has a good amount of clients, like around 40. Out of them, she has more than a...

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...

Question about direct marketing, and the numbers of emails people say they send

I read posts where someone writes "I send about 50 emails per day to various orgs/companies". Fifty. As in five zero. Every day? To whom? And would it be follow up emails, or generic "Hi there, I do voices, any interest in using me for a project?". I can't...
