Acting Newsletters

Hello! So I have been looking into ways to market myself and stay visible as an actor and once I have my brand down, I have been playing with the idea of starting a newsletter. My career coach says that it is a good idea (even though the idea terrifies me)...

Why would actors with talent agents be on Backstage? And why do many put their representation?

I don’t get it. Wouldn’t casting directors be turned off by you having representation since your agent should be getting you the work? I see this often. Can someone explain? Or do agents put their clients on Backstage?

Just did my 1st tv commercial yesterday in years and had a bit of nervousness. Guess normal?

I got a smaller part in a major ad and had to react to my neighbor. Just felt a bit off and slightly nervous during my takes, as the director had me do maybe 10 different takes and scenarios. They mostly needed a close up of my face reacting to my neighbor...

Why would a production want actors to sign an NDA after being cast? Why keep the casting secret? And are there other things in NDAs that might happen on set or actors might see that actors are never allowed to speak about?

When submitting to agencies, should you or should you not mention that you’re freelancing in all departments for another well-respected agency?

I’ve been freelancing for a month with this agency in NYC. Idk if it’s because I’m college-aged and a POC, but I’ve only gotten one audition. I’d like to get more auditions and (hopefully) book real work. That’s why I’d like to submit to other agencies. But...

Should I submit for an agent now? When did you?

Hello fellow actors! Lately I’ve been feeling ready to submit for an agent, but since I live in a smaller market (Philly) with about only 5-6 accredited agencies, I don’t want to ruin my chances. Is this a good time of year to submit? Could you share your...

Beautiful Actresses/Handsome Actors that disappoint as actors

For a master class on musical interpretation I would like to make an analogy to acting. I need good examples of a bombshell beautiful actress or a "to die for a handsome" actor who are "one-trick dogs"... that is, they only look good but don't have the acting...

Advice on getting into acting late if you can’t afford drama school? (UK)

When I was younger I dreamed of being an actor and was passionate about drama classes at school, but taking this further was heavily discouraged by my parents. I can understand why, as they both come from humble backgrounds and just want their children to be...

Watch what you post on social media

Pretty obvious you’d think... There’s a female in my local market that is becoming very well known for all the wrong reasons. Her posting history on Facebook to all the local market acting pages or filmmaking pages is a wreck. It’s a mix of several things but...

Why is it that the vast vast majority of successful working actors either began very young and worked their way up and didn’t have to go to college, or they went to college for acting/theatre?

It’s so rare for me to see any actors not in either category. Yet so many on this sub say to not go to college. Why?
