    Being a lead actor

    Still no response from acting classes

    I left my acting classes in the last few days of February 2020 because of the pandemic, my grandfather took me to the classes so at the time we didn’t want to risk his health. I spoke with my teacher about it and he agreed that it was fine and that I was free...

    An open letter from a Past President of ACTRA

    Re: Self Tapes - Every actor I know finds the current self-tape process frustrating and wearying. I get that it’s easier to tape at home, alone, or with a reader, and you get to do it over and over until you’re happy, but, then what happens. You send it off...

    For me to submit for student films, short films, etc. with no reel, I’ve been told I need clips. Does anyone know of a private coache(s) in LA who will work w/ actors AND film their clips?
