2 Qs: Would you consider acting "intellectually stimulating?" Is acting "emotionally draining?"

My only experience is being a main character (4 total) in a play at uni and, for whatever reason, perhaps acute awareness of my incompetence, i found it boring. Never felt like i was IN the role; just felt like a performing monkey. (Only time i "connected"...

How can I politely tell my boss I have to pick the audition over work?

I live in Los Angeles. My manager has usually been pretty flexible with my auditions, but no one was able to take my shift and my manager needs help during this particular shift. If it was a lower budget project I wouldn’t have a problem asking for a time...

i want to be done with acting. i truly hate this "journey". but i'm obsessed. how can I once and for all release myself from this?

i've rationalized my entire existence as "put on this planet to be an actor". now that i've been doing this for a few years and see how truly awful it is, that it is a LOTTERY FOR RICH PEOPLE that really has nothing to do with talent, i just want to be done...

Want to start

I’m an attorney with a passion for acting. I realize it’s quite logical for someone in my position to be interested in acting (eg influencing a jury is acting mostly), but I think performing as a character or someone other than myself is really my calling...

My Rant...Tongue and Cheek.?.

In the not so distant future, I think we as actors could see the old studio contract (or a version of it) come back into existence.. An actor is paid by insert platform, "Netflix" annually with health benefits and pension and agreed to do so many projects...

I have posted this on a couple of comments threads already but might as well share it to everyone. There is a Facebook group called talent managers for actors. It has dozens of managers, casting directors and agents who want to be accessible for actors. It...

Agent I met today was such an asshole that I want to just tell him I'm not interested in representation. Bad idea?

There's this myth that they supposedly work for us, not the other way around. So can I just preemptively tell him (politely and tactfully) that no fucking way would I ever want to work with him? Or do I have to be politically savvy and wait to be humiliated...

So I'm reading "Fine on Acting" (Howard Fine) and pretty early on he says serious actors need to be 'literate'.

I can make a list of excuses but I just haven't read that much in my life of 44 years.. maybe a dozen books, so I want to commit to that advice. I remember an acting coach once said to me that reading "To Kill A Mockingbird" is one of the most important...

KNOW WHAT YOU’VE GOT TO SELL!

Today I was giving a character actor some advice, and I thought there might be some others here that could benefit from it. As actors you are both the salesman and the product. Many of you are going door to door, asking people to buy, and you don’t even know...
