Can I upload a self taped monologue or scene to my backstage or actors access? Or is that seen as trashy?

I've been applying an ok amount of roles. I check everyday for new postings. I have a reasonable amount of training over two years but I'm still technically a beginner. Had to stopping to class for a bit due to lack of income. I'm looking into online training...

Is it realistic for me to dream of becoming an actress if my first language is not english?

Well, I realize this sounds naive and stupid but I will give it a shot. I'm 23 and I always had this dream of becoming an actress and play in well known movies. But I live in Romania, Europe. And it's quite obvious that my accent is foreign. Would it be...

moved to another city to pursue this career

As many already said, if you wan't to be an actor, you need to move where people usually film the movies. I planned to move to London, but how do you manage the cost of living if you aren't rich? If you have money, you don't need to care about rent and food...

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...
