Resubmitting for a role?

I was pinned for a roll awhile ago. I'm still pinned but they just released it through actors access with a different casting director (at a totally different casting company, not just different employee). Could it be appropriate to resubmit or does that look...

Acting without experience

I've never done anything to do with acting before in my life, but it seems like one of the coolest thing ever to do. I was just wondering if it is possible in any way to start acting if you've never had lessons. I have heard of a few people who are pretty...

Throwaway since I don't want people to see my account. My acquaintance is directing a short film she wrote, we met in when we were both acting in a play a few months ago and asked me to audition and I got the part. I've only done stage stuff except for...

Uk actors. Will Brexit affect the market?

I’m an Australian considering moving to London to pursue acting there as Australia is as dry and barren for acting as it is in environment. However a lot of my acting friends have warned against it due to Brexit. Which to be honest. I’ve no idea what it is or...

What do actors mentally channel (THINK about) when they enunciate each syllable? Do they even have a focus on the "per syllable" mental evocation?

I'm not an actor, but I kind of wanted to ask someone about how actors think and get into and out of character.

This post kind of comes out of me genuinely being curious, so I don't mean to offend anyone or state any misconceptions. If I say anything that comes out wrong, feel free to call me out on it. So I just finished watching The Joker...and for the lack of a...
