Differences between the different voice training methodologies?

Hey, all! (First reddit post ever :-) ) I want to self-learn about voice training for acting. I intend to work with a dialect/voice coach at some point, but until then, I’d thought I’d do some reading and studying on my own to get a base down. Before I select...

What type of actor is Johny Depp?

Is Johny Depp a personality, interepreter, or impersonator actor? I thought he would most likely be an impersonator actor because of the various different roles he plays, but I don't know in the context of the movie What's Eating Gilbert Grape. I read online...

An insane theory on voiceacting

Got a question here and a theory. So from studying actors from all platforms, there’s a sense of waiting to get ready to hit the big leagues. People start with smaller roles until they progress to much larger roles, etc. But here’s the question I have. Most...

Acting - Is there anyone here who has either "made it" or do you have a friend who has?

I am in personal communication with a handful of actors who have had fairly successful careers overall, but none of the advice they gave me has really sparked anything to be able to emulate that in any way.

I've always wanted to Act. I only started Theatre Studies 2 years ago. I'm the oldest in the class. Sometimes I really let the age thing get to my head and tell myself I'm too old. Anyone else in the same boat?

Ever since I was a boy I wanted to act, I tried to enroll in a film club when I was 16 but never got a call back. Being naive and young I thought that was my chance gone (what a silly thought). Life got in the way. Then when I reach my early 30s I was told I...
