is this asking too much and did i do too much? by Few-Refrigerator4760 • last post Aug 7th
tldr: my sister and i r actors (i haven’t really done anything in years, but my sister has been booking roles and background stuff). we both signed up for a role and they were asking us to do this for a self tape?!! i also recently broke our canon camera (i’m just a girl :( ). so i’ve been using this thing i signed up for via [waitlist](https://lociapp.vercel.app) to do self tapes from my phone and also memorize our lines and rehearse as if it was a table read, if anyone’s interested dm me. but back to the original question is this a lot??
Just some encouragement to some fellow actors by BlueViolets101 • last post Aug 7th
From my perspective, I see tides turning a bit in a positive direction. Not being inundated with auditions...but they've definitely been more consistent. Feels like 2024 and 2025 we were lucky to get 1-2 a month, if that. But now auditioning about once a week which feels like a lot comparatively. Anybody else agree or disagree? I'm SAG, repped in LA, and mostly auditioning for film/tv
(UNPAID) 2 Actors Needed For Developmental Reading of wacky end of the world play! by TheUGLIGames • last post Aug 7th
Hello everyone! My name is Justin Pierce, and I'm a Chicago-based playwright looking for two more of eight actors to participate in a developmental reading of my new wacky end-of-the-world play, Tia and Inez in Cometville. This first reading will be held online via Discord. Actors from anywhere are welcome to reach out, but preference will be given to Chicago-area performers, as I'm planning to organize in-person readings and further development of the play in Chicago in the future. As stated before, this is an unpaid developmental reading. READING INFO Monday, August 17th 6:00 PM Central Discord video call No memorization is required. This is a developmental table read intended to help me hear the current draft aloud and gather feedback. ABOUT THE PLAY Five days before a massive comet destroys Earth, Tia embarks on a road trip with her friends to stop her ex-girlfriend, Inez, from doing something drastic. Along the way, she encounters cannibal cultists, revolutionaries, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and a galaxy-spanning conspiracy. It's a science-fiction road-trip play with elements of dark comedy, horror, and absurdity, centered around love, identity, and what people choose to do when they believe the world is ending. CHARACTER / CASTING LIST ROBERT DAFFER / BUD / KING ROTHDOK – Male, 40+ The self-righteous and cunning CEO of Newton Company / A loyal cannibal son who loves his Ma / The leader of a desperate and capable alien race. TIA – Female, 20s–30s A Newton Company fan going through a breakup right before the end of the world. INEZ / VAL / CONQUEST – Female, 20s–30s A woman with a major secret making hard decisions in a time of uncertainty / A high-tech artificial intelligence seeking an identity of its own / The cruel and conniving leader of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. BARISTA / WARFARE / BRYSTOL – Female, Open Age A barista / The fiercely loyal muscle of the Four Horsemen / A revolutionary. JACKSON – Male, 20s–30s A man with no plans for the end of the world. A loyal friend, selfless even if he doesn't realize it. GAME ANNOUNCER / MA / REVOLUTIONARY – Female, 40+ A game announcer / The mother of a fanatically religious cannibal family / A revolutionary. DAKOTA / FAMINE / REVOLUTIONARY – Female, 20s A troubled and capable young woman raised by a cannibal cult, unsure where she truly belongs / The chemist of the Four Horsemen, capable of true cruelty and she knows it / A revolutionary. SQUEEZE / DEATH – Male, 20s–30s A misunderstood drug dealer with an optimistic outlook / The deputy of the Four Horsemen and a true believer in the cult's ideals. If you're interested in participating, please email justinpierceplaywright@gmail.com with your name and the role or roles you're interested in. Again, you do not need to be Chicago-based to reach out, but Chicago-area actors will receive preference because of planned future in-person development. Thanks so much!
I was almost an action star but all I got was this stupid movie by extremelyunderground • last post Aug 7th
A few years back, I woke up to an audition request for the lead role in a major blockbuster film. I grew up watching the franchise, so booking the part would be a dream come true. I acted my ass off, submitted my tape, and prayed for good news (along with thousands of other Asian actors). I didn’t think anything would come of it, but a few weeks later, the producers finally reached out for a callback, then a chemistry read, until one day they said the two words many actors would commit war crimes to hear: screen test. For a week straight, I went to the studio lot for rehearsals, martial arts training, and director sessions. It was exhilarating. As the day approached, I felt on top of the world. No one was going to take this from me. I had to book this. Deep down, I doubted there would be another opportunity for someone like me for a long time. Sure, Asian markets might be hot right now, but how long would that last before “the powers that be” decided to move on to the next minority group? As a filmmaker, I always championed Asian American representation, but, in that moment, I championed my own individual representation. Fuck everyone else - I was “the best Asian guy.” The role was mine. I didn’t get the part. When I got the news, I was devastated… for about a day. Then, I quickly recognized my own hypocrisy and was forced to look within. For years, I have spoken on panels, done Q&A’s at film festivals, and talked about the importance of Asian American representation in the film industry. However, when presented with a life-changing opportunity, my attitude shifted to “Fuck these guys, I’m the best Asian.” This ultimately inspired the question — what do you do when your values are at odds with your ambitions? This inevitably led me to create “Flavor of the Month,” a dark comedy that explores the absurdities of representation politics in modern-day Hollywood. Viewed through the lens of a Chinese American actor, Harrison Huang, the film dives headfirst into themes of performative activism, virtue signaling, and internalized racial inferiority. I hope you enjoy my film, and thank you for taking the time to watch.

I LOVE ACTING AND I LOVE MOCAP! by Ramattras_Twink • last post Aug 7th
My dreams are slowly coming true and I just wanna share it in a space. As a kid I grew up with video games and always wanted to act in them, so I decided when I was young I would be a voice actor. You should have seen my suprise when I was 11 and discovered motion capture is an actual thing. But my country isn't the biggest so from my 12th I focused on theater as a hobby and then as I turned 18 I went to an actual theater school. From there on I moved to London and went to film school and mostly have worked in the film sector with some theater and voice on the side but my big dream was still always motion capture for video games and I always kept training for it with all sorts of weapons training and martial arts. Now after doing workshops in mocap and reaching out to studios I finally got in contact with an agency that soly focuses on motion capture and I GOT ACCEPTED! I even had my first big mocap auditon today and omg I live and breath for mocap. ITS SO FUN! Usually during self tapes and auditions I just feel annoyed as I wanna do the real big thing but with motion capture I even love the self tapes and auditions. Hoping I land the role and to many more!
Help with movement in musical theater? by EntertainmentKey8197 • last post Aug 7th
I’ve been doing theater for 6 years now, I’m 19 and I’ve noticed something in all the videos I see of myself. I’m definitely more of a singer and actress than a dancer and have never been athletic. When I see videos of myself I feel like my movements, my whole body but especially my hands just look floppy and awkward? Like I know what I want to do it’s just when I apply it it makes me look so akward. I also am a musician, I’ve played piano my whole life so learning to stand up and sing at age 13ish was a big challenge for me because I didn’t know what to do with my hands. I want to improve on this so badly but no one seems to have the same problem, like I said I’ve never been athletic and have been thinking maybe dance would help, Advice? :(

Switching Reps by mentallyrizz • last post Aug 7th
Hello! I’m looking to switch reps and have a few questions. I haven’t applied anywhere in a long time , so please bear with me. It seems like everyone recommends using Actors Access or Casting Workbook profiles to submit with, however mine obviously still lists my current rep. Is this harmful? Do you recommend submitting materials another way? When writing your pitch, do you mention you’re switching reps, looking for new rep, etc- ? Any answers or further tips are much appreciated!

In person auditions vs Zoom by Jack_Wraith • last post Aug 7th
I’m SAG and have been with my agency since 2021. I’ve never done an in-person audition until today. I’ve auditioned for and worked on multiple shows and films. In person auditions are SO much better. It was electric and seemed like a better way to feel out chemistry between scene partners and actors with the director. We really lose something when it’s uploaded Actor’s Access calls. It’s just flat and in a vacuum. Nothing in this industry happens like that on set. Even monologues have direction on set. Online auditions are just so far removed from the actual, physical reality of acting. So why is that so damn prevalent? I get the convenience aspect, but it’s just so dry and empty. I don’t think it’s an accurate way to get the measure of the actor. I’m also just an actor. I have a cowriting credit on a short. So I get that I’m biased. It just seems like night and day though. And it seems kind of lazy. Am I missing something?
