Dealing with frustration

Hey everyone! I’ve been feeling a bit frustrated lately. I was on a nice consistent level of work before the pandemic and that has just completely gone away. I’m not trying to be ungrateful, I work a fair amount for a Canadian actor but lately I’ve been kinda...

When a tv actor is sick

I don’t mean anything serious like cancer, in which you would have to take a long break. But I also don’t mean like just the sniffles where you can down some DayQuil and keep plugging away. I’m talking about when you get something where you’re coughing up...

Some thoughts on the business of being an actor and why a lot of people walk away from it

Hello, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on this and if it relates to your experience or not? (Hopefully the formatting is not a problem, for some reason it added extra spaces when I copy and pasted it from the doc I wrote it in). I feel compelled to...

I lost a role in a film before I could even audition for it. I feel so bad.

I (15) might be over reacting, but I can't help but feel upset over this. I'm not in need of advice. It's just a vent I want to make. I'm a leading actor in my school's drama club. My teacher is envolved with some directors. They are making a movie that...

Got an audition today that's due tomorrow... and it's 14 pages... [Short Rant]

And yes this is for a ***union*** film- and no it is not an indie or a low-budget film. Can *someone*, *somewhere*, *somehow*, PLEASE set some standards/regulations on this stuff in the US! It's absolutely ridiculous that actors can get 14 pages of sides and...

Casting notice seems too good to be true - scam?

Hi, all! I just came across [this](https://www.backstage.com/casting/house-of-helsing-462971/) casting notice on Backstage, and it honestly seems too good to be true: non-union with $1500 weekly pay for a series filming in Armenia (which tbh might not...

I keep getting Casting call messages on instagram, are it legit?

I’d say I get a casting call invite for a Tv show a few times a month. Are these legit? The profiles seem legit. I was wondering why they keep sending me messages? Is it something that is sent out to thousands of people? How exactly does it work if you follow...

Meisner technique - exercise progression?

I've done some Meisner in the past, and it was fantastic. A discontinuous step up on the level of my acting. I'm in a new city where I can't find a Meisner coach (small city, local language isn't English). I've started reading Meisner's book ("Sanford Meisner...

Are we allowed to take CBD before performances?

I am an actor who struggles with self-judgement and negative self-talk constantly both in daily life AND on stage. I wonder if CBD helps. But at the same time, I somehow feels like a looser if I take them, just because that’s an external support. Any opinion...

Having hair that's doesn't fit your "look"?

Hi! Just wanted to pass by here and ask if having dyed hair that doesn't match your "look" will decrease your chances of getting cast? I'm asian, so like 99% of the asian population and therefore the "stereotype" is that asians have dark hair even though in...
