    O1 Visa Clarification

    I'm a SAG actor and I just booked a new media gig. Need to self-shoot a 2-3 minute corporate video. They'll provide the script. What is a fair rate to charge?

    Do you have to go to drama school?

    Hi! I am doing an online course during quarantine, and have recently come to the realisation that I want to persue acting and singing, some sort of musical theatre route. In the online course, the teacher has told us "unless you get professional training in a...

    How long of a monologue is too long?

    I'm posting this in r/acting because I wanted to get an actor's perspective on this. I'm going to try to keep this question as short as I can so I'm leaving out all info that doesn't seem pertinent. If an actor had to perform a large (100+) series of short...
