    How did you get signed to your talent agent? I don't want to waste time working on projects that will hurt me, by making me seem less serious, rather than help me by showing that I am a strong actress.

    Hi all, I got into professional modeling young, all I had to do was show up with simple digitals and answer some interview questions. I am navigating the entertainment industry here in LA now, and it is extremely different. I would love some of you working...

    Can a SAG-AFTRA actor choose to work for free?

    I want to employ a SAG actor on my LOW budget feature film. Looking through all of the SAG-AFTRA paperwork it looks like a massive headache and extra expenses that not even the actor himself wants to burden the production with. Is there a way a union actor...

    Monologue for Christmas show

    I’m an actor who has my first in person audition after covid. For the past year it’s all been self-tales. This job is for an immersive Christmas show from Oct-December and instead of sending me material, they’ve given me free reign to do any piece that lasts...

    Actors access photo resolution issues?

    When I upload my headshots to AA and preview my profile, the photos have lost a noticeable amount of quality compared to the originals. Just slightly fuzzy. Not bad but not professional standard either. Is this just a preview error? Is it a bandwidth thing?...

    Never knew my 'type'.

    I'm not an actor, I'm just a guy who had a couple of dreams and fantasies of being one. I know the "never too late" stuff, but save that for now. One thing that hindered me was that I never had the beginnings of an idea what my 'type' was. I feel like I've...

    Does every actor have an acting coach?

    Hi y’all! I just got this simple question. Do you need an acting coach? I wonder all those actors in film and tv continuously work with their acting coach. Do they hire them every time they get a part in a big project? How about third actors who landed small...
