The scene we've been rehearsing for months involves my character getting hit with a breakaway glass bottle then beat up by thugs. Tonight when we rehearsed it I performed my part as usual only to see my fellow actor 5 feet away pointing a revolver at me and...

Advice for acting in South America?

I want to become an actor, but all the advice that I find is US or UK centric. Most of them advice not to move right away, but where I come from, Perú, there isn't so much of a film industry or anything of the sort. I would like to apply for an acting school...

Dramatic Acting Jams in LA?

I know there are a number of improv jams in LA, which are super cheap, anyone can show up, and improv a comedic scene. Does the same thing exist for dramatic scenes? And not necessarily improv - just a cheap place where actors come together and work on scenes?
