I went on my first audition in almost two years

And it was probably one of the worst auditions I’ve had. I misread the casting call, and did not realize I had to book an appointment. Luckily they still let me audition. I got incredibly nervous about 4 seconds into my audition piece and just tanked it. They...

Any acting teachers on here wanna give me feedback for a scene for agency submission?

I will pm it to you or if its a SAG actor that could help that'd be cool. My name is at the end of the vid so I don't want to post it public.

My daughter is selected for a TV series as a lead actress and is expected to make around 200k this year. Based on many articles on the web, we realized the advantage of using a loan out corporation to maximize tax benefits. The thing is, we have an LLC that...

What is the consensus on headshots?

I’ve seen a lot of headshots at auditions and done a bit of reading online as well but of course there’s a fair bit of conflicting information about what casting directors like to see, as well as preferences evolving and changing over time. What would you say...

School productions on resume?

Hi everyone I've been acting for a while now and currently studying theatre in Wales. Maybe a stupid question but I wonder how much school-productions count as experience and how good they are on your resume? At home, I have quite a resume but here in the UK...

What is a group audition like

I was told the director will give me one or two lines to read out in a "group audition". So I have to do my audition in front of a group of other actors? That seems nerve wracking lol.

Question about SAG

So I did a SAG project recently, and I just received a letter detailing how I’m SAG-eligible. I know you aren’t allowed to do non-union projects if you’re formally a SAG member, but what does this specifically imply? Does this mean that once I’m a member...

Demos Aren't Cheap - VO is an Industry

I coach actors a lot. Film/TV actors. They want to make a quick buck and think, "What could be easier than VO?". A lot of of people approach VO this way. They baulk at spending $500 on a demo. Or $500 on a course. They expect to enter an industry investing...
