Union v. Nonunion post-pandemic: pros and cons?

So this is specifically about AEA: but if anyone has insight to sister unions I’m sure it would be helpful to somebody out there too. When the pandemic hit I was a theatre actor with 45 EMC weeks, and an upcoming contract that would take me Equity at the end...

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...

Any Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) actors on here?

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?

Should I put scare acting experience on a resume.

I haven’t really done any acting stuff outside of school besides fright fest and hallow fest. Should I put my scare acting on my actors access resume. It’s basically interactive improv theatre but still, I’m worried people might not take it seriously at all...

Voiceover actor advice

I’ve decided to expand my acting career and tap into voice acting. What do you guys recommend as far as equipment and accessories? I know some microphones pick up certain ranges better than others so it just makes things a little confusing on decision making...

Rant: Crappy Low Budget Projects

I'm non-union in a small market and auditions have been scarce during COVID. When I do find auditions, the projects suck! I'm not even talking about the storyline, I'm talking about the dang script. So much is expected of us as actors (make sure to self-tape...

I have acting experience, no idea for what classes to take, and wanting to make a demo reel.

I had no idea what to title this exactly, so let me explain. I also apologize in advance if this is answered somewhere. I am struggling and have been for a long time as to what “classes” I should be taking for voice acting. I know that there’s plenty of...

Beginner's Microphone

Hey there! I RARELY use Reddit, so pardon me if this kind of post is not common. (´ω｀\*) I am looking to start a home studio for voice acting. I am trying to create a set-up that would work for Youtube videos, podcasts, and voiceovers for ACX. I am a...

[Barnes] “I just found out that actors in the virtual-zoom-casting-waiting-room can see each other. Is the awkward camaraderie similar to in-person waiting rooms?”

I may have gotten a role but I also need a haircut...

Here’s a fun one. I auditioned with a self tape for a role on a show. The casting company asked for my availability but that same days, the role went back up on Actor’s Access. It’s been a few weeks (almost a month) and the description says I need to be...

Best female actors that are under the radar right now?

Finishing up my first screenplay and usually, I envision this "dream cast" for my characters (just for fun) but I have this one female lead that I just can't imagine anyone playing. So, in your opinion, who are the most talented up-and-comers that you're...

How to find your acting type ?

I know who I look like out of ‘famous’, well I’ve been told so anyway. I look like a young Tom Cruise is what I’m told, but he wouldn’t be my idol of an actor. With that in mind how do you find your acting type ? What’s the best way to go about it.

Been with my agent since November, had 0 auditions since.

UK based. I’m in a popular demographic as I’m a female actor on the 16-25 age range. I know times are hard for our industry but most of my acquaintances & friends who are in the industry are getting at least some self tapes... anyone here know if it’s normal...

Anybody else who would have rather seen Nick Cage as a character actor?

I don’t know why, but I feel like Cage washes himself out really fast in his big roles. Anything where he has less than say 20 minutes of screen time I find myself enjoying his quirkiness and mannerisms, I just think he’s a little too ‘goofy’ for me to enjoy...

Missi Pyle is such an incredible character actor. I feel like she flies under the radar and always knocks it out of the park with her roles, such as Galaxy Quest, Dodgeball, and Along Came Polly. What an awesome acting career!

When did you know it was time to turn Equity?

I'm an EMC actor who is currently sitting at 25 points. I've put a good amount of thought into when I eventually want to turn, but I don't think I want to do it super soon. My logic has been that I want to get a good amount of non-union/union credits on my...

Self-confidence: is it an illusion or is it a requirement for success as an actor?

I could just be seeing it wrong, so definitely correct me, but it seems like a lot of well known actors (and maybe successful people in general) believe in themselves and have a considerable amount of self-confidence. It could just be the social media effect...

Have you ever had a direct booking?

Have you ever gotten a direct booking without auditioning? I'd be interested in hearing about your experience. \[Note\] I'm not an actor. I'm just interested in hearing about it if anyone wants to share their experience.
