I'm trying to become a background actor, how difficult should I expect finding a role to be? by Single_Lettuce_7670 • last post Aug 3rd
Hey! My question is how competitive should I expect it to be when it comes to background acting? I've been using the "castingnetworks" website and applied to five different things (All in crowds..) So you'd think for at least one I'd be accepted but nope. Please let me know also if it's something with my profile. I took a white background pic of myself in front of a white wall in my house. The roles I apply to are mainly looking for ages 18-25 and often want people to play highschoolers. (I'm 18 but I've asked friends, and they say based on my appearance i could probably play between 16 years old and 20 as a maximum.) No responses so far. Is background acting genuinely difficult to find work in? Please let me know! I also live in San Diego.
Acting practice via Google Meet by jasmine_tea_ • last post Aug 3rd
A couple weeks ago I spoke with a UK agent and she suggested forming a group where actors could practice monologues/duologues/improv/cold readings, etc. So far, I have 2 other people interested. I'd like to make this an international thing to try and get as much diversity as possible. Anyone else interested? There are no plans to charge for this.

Horror acting by Big_Dirt4227 • last post Aug 3rd
Hi everyone, I'm a 20-year-old male living in Ireland, and I'm interested in pursuing work as a horror actor, especially as a creature or monster performer. I am 1.98 m (6'6") tall, physically fit, and comfortable using unusual body movements to create creepy and realistic monster performances. Because of my height and build, I think I could be a good fit for creature roles in films, TV productions, haunted attractions, or live events. I don't have professional acting experience yet, but I'm very motivated, eager to learn, and willing to train. I have a strong passion for horror and would love the opportunity to bring unique characters to life. If anyone knows of auditions, casting calls, agencies, or has advice on getting started in this field, I would really appreciate your help. Thank you!
Is this normal for agent contracts? by Nerdy_Singer510 • last post Aug 3rd
I started submitting to agencies some time last year, and finally got an in-person meeting with an agent who wants to sign me! I have never had an agent before, so I’m really excited, but I’m unsure if this is normal for a contract. The agency is a SAG-franchised agency and all the research I did seemed legit, no red flags that stood out to me. When I went to the in-person meeting, the agent said that I had to accept an invitation through Actors Access that would link the agency to my profile. Then they said that the contract itself was coming directly from SAG-AFTRA and would take about 1-2 weeks to be sent to me. They said that every SAG agency uses the same contract and that I wouldn’t really need a lawyer to look it over. Is this normal? I know I’ve never seen an agency contract before but I was under the impression that every agency had their own written contract and agreements, not that everything for every agency came from SAG. They also told me it was valid for a whole year, then I could renew it after that year was up. The other problem is, I haven’t even seen the contract yet and it’s been over a month since the meeting. I waited a bit and didn’t hear anything for almost 2 weeks. I reached out about it and I was sent an email to fill out a questionnaire to show what type of representation I was seeking specifically, as well as the Actors Access invitation. Another 2 weeks went by and I followed up again with an update on the contract, and I was told that it was being sent to me that week through the SAG Portal. It’s been a whole extra week and I’ve received nothing so far. I’m not even a SAG-AFTRA union member so I don’t have any access to a “SAG Portal”. Is that also normal? It feels like I have to initiate every interaction with this agent and I’m starting to lose hope.

As actors one of our jobs is to try different tactics to book roles. Which one in the title works best for you or is there another one you have used that works?
What was the moment you stopped thinking like an actor and started thinking like a professional? by Alec Harris • last post Aug 2nd
Hi everyone!
From Script to screen by Rouidda Soliman • last post Aug 2nd
Hello all. I have been trying to propose my script for projects on Stage32 and I haven't heard from anyone so long. The thing is there is no feedback whether it is a good one but doesn't fit their choice or if it needs development. I'd really use your talented minds in developing my script. I'd appreciate your contact so I can share it with you for my script to get noticed next time. Thankfully.

How do women with non "ideal" breasts do nude scenes? by Oceanblueseadolphins • last post Aug 2nd
This has always been in my mind ever since I was a little girl and reslized I have tuberous breasts. Knowing how brutal the acting industry is do they simply choose actresses that for them have all the package? Because all the nude scenes in movies and theater are done by women with beautiful fit bodies and conventionally pretty perky round breasts. I've never seen a nude scene with a woman with tuberous, assymetric, droopy breasts. Could that be a reason an actress isn't hired for a particular role? What if she gets surgery? Scars will still be visible...
[PAID] Midwestern accent female (think Phoebe Judge) for a birthday podcast by Throwaway__duck • last post Aug 2nd
My girlfriend listens to Criminal and for her birthday I’ve written an episode for her that I’d love to get voiced up by someone with as close to a Chicago / Phoebe Judge accent as possible. It will be about 10-15 minutes of a script and was thinking £50, but happy to negotiate for the right actor. Thank you!

Acting advice and critiques wanted!! by Coltie2 • last post Aug 2nd
I spent a few weeks working on this monologue to perform and it quickly got to a point where my director would stop giving me any critiques and just say that it looks great, and while that feels great to hear, as an actor I’m aware that a performance is never perfect and there is always something to work on that can be utilized in future performances, so I’ve decided to come to this amazing subreddit to ask for some feedback! Feel free to give as much or as little critiques as you’d like, and I hope you enjoy it as well!
What would you do if you were financially safe for a year? by techdot17 • last post Aug 2nd
Hi everyone! I’m a British Actor who is currently travelling in Australia, currently in Perth. I’m in a very fortunate position where I can be without a job for a year and still have some money left over after that. I’ve been doing acting for just over a year and have managed to get a professionally recorded showreel in that time. I then left my job of 5 years to come and see Australia as I’ve always wanted to go, and thought I could also pursue acting over here too. At this moment in time, I’m not 100% sure if pursuing acting in Australia is a great choice, however they do have some great training options here. With the job I had, I managed to save really well and I am comfortable and can be for a year. If you were in my position, what would you do with the time you have to help with your acting career? Would you find as many workshops as you can in Australia and learn as much as you can or return to the UK, live with parents and save money while also doing workshops there. There is also a year long course at WAAPA which I’d be happy to do. Essentially, I want to know what options I may not know about but also know what your opinion would be on this? Happy to listen too all suggestions, even try a different country if there is a market for it
