Am I taking crazy pills or are Vancouver actors getting screwed?

So this is going to seem somewhat whiny but please just hang on I swear I have a point. Over the last two years, I've been audition/accent coaching here in Vancouver and I've noticed a trend. Because we're here in Vancouver most of the auditions are tapped...

Have an actor friend moving to Atlanta. What are good neighborhoods in Atlanta for an aspiring actor to explore for housing?

He’s looking to dive into the acting world in Atlanta but doesn’t have a lot of contacts. Is there an arts/theatre/acting district or neighborhood he should think of moving to? Thanks!

My acting teacher told me that words are meaningless

He stood infront of the class and said 'words are meaningless' and shot down a bunch of examples of words that mean a lot, like 'love', 'hope', etc. I understand that he was trying to emphasize the importance of your body before you think too much about the...

I really want to get into acting, but I live in Wisconsin, where there are few to no acting roles, or at least that I've seen. There are a couple calls in Chicago and around Illinois, but none of them seem to ever be looking for a younger actor. Any advice?
