Guys, is there any way to be able to use Actors Access for free, or with some kind of discount? I'm in Brazil and here we earn in real, the real is for 5.60, which means that if I sign the 68 dollar plan I will pay almost 400 reais, which is a lot of money .... Sorry if the question sounds stupid.

Not the typical age question, I swear. Although I do feel old as fuck in my early 20s and want to lie about it sometimes and say I’m like two years younger since everyone thinks I’m in HS anyway. I’ve just been wondering about when it comes to women in Hollywood, I do feel like there’s been an increasing (not really lo…

Ever since I was 9 I had a dream of being an actor. I don't remember what performance inspired me to do so, or what event in my life influenced this decision, but I had never been so sure about anything in my entire life. I started taking classes at school and pursuing this career at about that age. At age 10 my drama…

I can’t decide. I have to take new shots in the next few months. These photographers have shot successful actors whose shots helped booked them work, especially the first two.

It’s like, every agency where I live (Texas) has either bad reviews or is too local or is too far away (like in Dallas, I live in San Antonio.) I just can’t seem to find any good agencies in Austin. I think Paradigm looks good but it doesn’t look like it is accepting actors right now.

Hello! I wanted to hear from the LA actors who have taken virtual classes with all this Covid craziness going on. How has your experience been? I’m conflicted. First off, I hate that virtual classes are the same cost as in person classes. I feel like half of the learning experience is getting to do it in person and int…

How do you know if an agent or a management is legit? I know there can be lots of scammers roaming around the industry especially for young and starting actors.

If I'm not mistaken the annual subscription fee is somewhere around $150 with added stuffs, right? Or is it more? It's not that expensive, given the features but is it good to have for someone who's just starting out?

To be an actor someone should certainly have some particular features. What are some characteristics they should have? Expressiveness?

So recently, I posted here about my interview with Indie Gamer and a cartoon I was in winning at a festival. With those posts, came a fair few DMs asking about how to get cast and I've randomly been receiving emails asking the same thing. It seems everyone is more interested in games than they are cartoons, and indie g…

Do you think it’s crucial that an actor has an IG or social media? Or is it better to have an official website with work samples, etc.? I ask because I’m thinking of deleting my IG and focusing on creating a website instead for my work, images, etc.

I remember my first agent meeting, she told me, “It’s very clear that you need more training.” Fast forward to the last few weeks, I signed with two different great agents, one in LA and one in NYC. I just met with a manager for representation over Zoom and she said, “You need to be more dynamic when you talk, more zes…

Apologies if this post isn’t right for this sub but I’m curious, are there any actors who have significant others in another city after they made the move to LA/NYC/Vancouver/Toronto?

I was reached out to by someone that I talked to briefly on Facebook, and they said they need extras for a film that he is in.

I'm starting out and looking for an agent. I'm doing my research on each agent's roster using IMDB Pro. My question is, is it possible for an agent to submit multiple clients to one role?

I know when submitting to literary agents, it's advised that you email under your legal name and put "writing under \[pen name\]".

So here’s the thing : I’ve always heard that nothing is more stressful for a human than when their goals are tied to the approval of others.
