Hello I am a uni student, I really need some advice. Recently, my class have been cast for the play "twelfth night" and I was really hoping for Olivia or Viola. Instead, I got Maria. I was so upset with this casting choice and instantly burst into tears. I felt it was really unfair. This is where I sound awful because…

Hi, I'm a 22 years old Brazilian and currently studying Computer Science. I'm passionate about voice acting - although I have 0 experience with it - and I'd like to know if voice acting is your first job, and if it isn't, why did you pursue it? Is it worth trying? When is too late? I like my course but I'm not very at…

Was anyone trained as a stage actor and decided to start screen acting? I want to expand what i can do but i've only been trained for stage so i need to learn how to act for a camera and i wouldn't even know how to get into screen acting (uk if that changes anything) Does anyone have any ideas of where to start?

25F, I never had any formal education, but I have been consistently taking acting classes for past 2.5 years. However, I feel like there's still so much to learn and I don't feel like an actress and don't feel like I am ready to go out and start acting. On the other hand, I understand that to be an actress, I just need…

Hi guys, I am curious, are the cigarettes in movie productions actually real ones? I mean what if the actor is a non-smoker and don't wanna smoke because of health issues? Are there fake-cigerettes for this? Best regards

I just browsed the subreddit thoroughly and I noticed a lot of aspiring actors seemed to wonder about how certain actors/actresses got their "overnight success" like Gal Gadot, Will Smith or Katherine Langford, seemingly happy to disregard the fact that most of them have OTHER TALENTS, and that they've made it BIG in t…

I hope this is acceptable here. I’m writing a book about an actress, and I just think it’d be really helpful to hear from some of you to really wrap my head around some of the issues the character is going to encounter. Long story short, she is a struggling actress on the verge of “aging out” of consideration as a star…

Hey guys! Do you think that having a large YouTube channel (500k subscribers +) would negatively effect your chances of making it big in Hollywood? The reason I think it might is because you might start to get type cast because of your internet persona. Also another reason is because i can not think of one actor that h…

Recently, I asked for a talent submission report. I noticed that she submitted me for a lot of small actor roles, but I wasn't called in for those parts.

Do i need to have social media? Like instagram twitter etc..? I despise social media. Im a good looking guy dont get me wrong, and camera loves me but i hate the whole concept about it.

When people say he stays in character that must just mean he stays in costume and the accent no? From an actors perspective I can understand that. But there’s no way he acts like an asshole to everyone. From a non actor’s perspective it would seem very mythical and difficult which I suppose he uses to his advantage.

I can’t believe she has the same award as James Gandolfini, Viola Davis, or Brian Cranston to name a few. Her acting makes me cringe so much.
