Do any other actors here have Body Dysmorphic Disorder? How do you manage it?

Tech week is always exhausting, but the thing I fear most about tech week is always how it stokes my body dysmorphic disorder. It’s obviously just one of those things I know I have to work through if I want to act, but it really takes so much energy out of me...

Relocating?

I've recently gotten some advise from a friend-of-a-friend voice actor, and he suggested that you really should start in a main-market area if you want to really "make it", or at least take lessons from a professional that has been in the field. Being in...

I feel like I’m at a turning point in my life. I’ve wanted to be an actor (screen) for a large amount of my life and am starting to reconsider. I just need some advice for what I should do

Sorry for the long post but this is really important to me After an argument with my parents and the stress of an upcoming university audition. I just feel like my genuine love and (I hope) talent as an actor is just getting undermined by their firm reliance...

If demoreels are so important to an actor's career, why don't more actors get them produced

I've noticed a lot of actors are waiting on other people to advance their own careers, I feel like this is especially the case when it comes to demoreels. If an actor doesn't have a body of work to show, how can they expect a busy casting director to bring...

How do you guys find the motivation to keep acting?

Moving across the country to LA, leaving your family behind, expensive rent, all to pursue a dream that most likely won’t result in much of anything at all? That sounds depressing, and that’s exactly why I’m scared. I’m an actor in the mid west. I know...

So this was a question me and my friend had a brief argument on, which basically amounted down to "how good an actor was Shakespeare be in the modern day?" The general expectation of acting has changed over the years, for a recent example just look at movie...

Would acting in a haunted house go on your resume?

I have the opportunity to be an actress in a haunted house. Wondering if this would go on my resume. Also to people who have done this, is it a 'useful' job in terms of skills you learn?
