Am I Too Picky or Just Unlucky?

I feel like all I get right now are bad opportunities that I have to say no to while I can’t even get the good gigs I am interested in. Sometimes, I am even booked as an actor and I have to cancel when I find out that the project is illegal (according to...

I really truly hate this journey, I hate what this feels like, trying to "break in"... I just have to know based on my situation if I'm even remotely close because I can't live like this forever it's insane

im not looking for sympathy. everything is perspective. I'm at the point where I am just so burnt out with this. I resent the fact that I've spend 8 years and I still feel lost. I resent the fact that I can't seem to get respect / an honest answer without...

I'm new to the talent agency business. I was asked what my actors rate would be for a commercial that would run through the NBA finals. It's a 13 week usage fee. This is definitely new to us. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated

Hi, I'm an indie game dev working on my 2nd game, and I'm considering adding voice acting to it once the script is done and implemented ( so, most probably in a few years ). However, I have absolutely no clue where I can hire people and how expensive it can...

Not sure if I'm actually gonna post this

I (14M) think I want to be an actor but I don't know what to do. I know I'd have to tell my parents to actually start doing anything, but I want to be sure that this is what I want to do with my life first. I haven't even tried much or anything like that yet...

Hard rule for takes. Don't stop!

I've been told this by casting agents and now in the time of self taping, I reaffirmed for myself. I stopped toward the end of a take cuz I thought I did a line with the wrong energy. Imagine my dismay when as I was editing, my partner and I both said "This...

I am SO over seeing these types of roles for women!

I know men don’t get these breakdowns through LACasting, but for us girls, we are constantly getting “gold digger” roles to submit too. For those of you that aren’t familiar... it’s the “real women, not actors” videos, in which a dude approaches a girl and...

Just curious if any of you identify as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)? Interested to hear how it intersects with your acting, if it improves/enhances it, or gets in the way? How do you navigate the business part of it like auditions, agents, etc?

Rant: Crappy Low Budget Projects
