Hi guys - just wondering - are actors taught to blink when shifting their gaze?

I've watched a lot of movies and TV shows over the years and I'm pretty sure this is a thing. But a google search failed to confirm my hypothesis :P So now I'm turning to reddit. So basically my question is when actors are looking at someone or something, and...

How open should I be to settle for mediocrity?

This is my first reddit post, I'm still new to learning how everything works. I'm sort of in a huge existential crisis right now with a cross roads decision. Either way I choose will severely alter my life. So I'm doing what any other sensible person would...

Any chance for an actor with a Russian accent?

I'm a beginner actress with a Russian accent (I have a couple of years of classes but no actual work in my resume). And because of the accent, I think I will be rejected at every audition. They will open my reel and close right away when they hear me speak...

A manager as well as an agent for a guy with not a ton of credits?

Hey!! I am signing with an agent later today. Funny thing is that now a manager who I did a showcase for wants to meet with me! I really connected with the manager and I really love the agent who I’m signing with. I did a nice scene from the blacklist (a nyc...
