    Acting Class: Investment or Waste of Money?

    I have a dream of being one of the next great actors of a generation, but where do I start? Get cast in short films and work up from there? Acting class? Backstage? I wanna take the leap, but just need a direction to jump into. Thanks in advance!

    Creating a Show

    So, I’m a 16 (soon to be 18) year old female. I know what I want to do, and it’s acting. I live in Boise, Idaho and I’m finding it difficult to find a reputable agency or any experiences for my age range. I always thought if I can’t find an opportunity, then...

    [RANT] I'm sick of being asked for a "selfie"

    I spent hundreds of dollars for pictures, from head shots to full length and in between. It seems as if everything I submit for wants a selfie and not my professional pictures. Ok, I get you want to see what I look like NOW, but here's my beef: If you want a...

    First time working on set

    I put together a playlist on what to expect the first time you're booked as a principal actor on a TV show or film. I figure you know how to play the scene, but you might not know what to expect from the work experience. Hopefully this will help. Enjoy!...

    I'm asking this because I've noticed that among the more popular, mainstream actors (Jennifer Lawrence, Tom Holland, Gal Gadot), many are usually very energetic and happy-go-lucky. Meanwhile I can only think of a couple actors which could be considered low...

    Why does it take so long to get paid for film jobs?

    So this is just a sort of general question, but I had a fellow actor reach out to me asking me if I had gotten paid for a project we recently worked on (which I hadn't) but it brought a question to my mind? Why does it always seem to take so long to get paid...
