I know that being an extra doesn't in any way advance my chances of becoming an actor, but could it in any way hinder my chances? For reference, I live in England. I'd rather make money being an extra than waiting tables, and then learn how to act on the side. But I really hope the isn't some bullshit thing where the i…

Hi all, I am looking to up my self-tape set-up. Previously I used: iPhone, Pop Mic, Pop up Green Screen and natural window light. I've moved into a space with less natural light and more space and want to upgrade my set-up. I have a Sony camera + Rode VideoMic Pro Shotgun and enjoy that combo for now and am considering…

I ignored a film to self-tape for after the pdf wouldn’t open, thinking that the director didn’t post it or upload it appropriately. I now have another audition for a much more professional production and it happened again. I can’t open the pdf! I go to a Chrome browser instead of Safari, and lo and behold, it opens! N…

There’s a production going on in my town that I applied for almost three months ago and just today, I got a call about being a photo double for one of the actors. I’m thinking of taking the job. Where on my resume would I put this and would it help me get into SAG-AFTRA in the future?

Where would marvel or other big studios post public casting calls like that? She just was forwarded a link. She wasn’t even planning on being an actress so obviously she wasn’t on a paid app and it’s her only acting credit so I believe her story of being sent a public casting link. But WHERE would they post that lol

Hey All! I would appreciate some perspective on a big decision I've been unsure about. I'm an actor based in Los Angeles.

If I've been fortunate enough to have a well established actor offer to refer me to their reps - how do I not fuck it up? They asked for my materials and said they'd send it over to their people.

I wanna hear from people who actually have subscriptions/were previously subscribed. Have you ever gotten roles or do the apps seem like a scam? Majority of casting directors say you should never have to pay to auditions yet these apps ask for money

Basically the title. I know reality tv is usually frowned upon if you want to be taken seriously as an actor, but because Squid Game was so well received and popular, could this be a good opportunity?
