Would you feel comfortable shooting at a residential apartment if no one lived there?

I could really use feedback from actors on this. I'm thinking about renting a small apartment for when I need to shoot in LA. I would NOT be living there. It would be set up as a studio only. There would be no furniture or personal items in it. Just lights...

Do famous actors really not take classes?

I noticed that it's rare for famous actors to talk about their training, if they had any. I feel like a lot of them do take classes/have coaching but don't reveal that publicly. I think if more actors revealed that it would make acting seem less magical, and...

A shout out to all actors

Admittedly, I'm a bit of a lurker here. I'm a documentary producer/director who is making the move to scripted work. Let me tip my hat to each and everyone I've seen post here. Reading your posts has proven to be inspirational. I thought my job was hard, but...

One Black actor and ten White actors is not diversity.

Sorry for ranting, but I'm getting tired of casting directors acting like one Black person makes their cast diverse. I've seen like two listings that include MENASA and two that include Native Americans, in 10 PAGES of listings. If a character's race isn't...

What technique do you use?

I'm a pretty new actor and I'm about to take my first technique class, in Chubbuck. Has anyone tried different techniques and found they didn't vibe with any of them? Or if you did choose one, why do you prefer it to others?

Frustration with Latina casting types

For the most part, it seems like there are two types that I see in completed productions and in casting calls. It’s either the IG music video baddie type Latina, or an older and hardened cop. Just gotta get that off my chest lol please feel free to share your...

Age in acting/ Appearance on Shows / Do you have to play older always?

I was on a show that was really dark and darkly lit. It made me look a lot older than I am. I am a WOC and when I saw people in real life they said I look a lot younger in real life. In the same year I was in a short that made me look much younger (late...

Hi there are people younger than me that do voices different from their own, is this a genetic thing or maybe they did it since they were younger? Any ideas
