Hi, I am new into this world and don’t really know anyone in this field. I see a lot advice on how to start or a lot of drama adult courses online. But what do I do if I would love to specialise into comedy acting? Is there specific courses and schools for that? Is that a thing? Or you just do drama and later it depends what jobs you get? For reference I am 27y old , from UK, Manchester submitted by /u/Successful-Climate99 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hi everyone! This post is for everyone who is thinking of going to drama school, but mostly for “mature” amateur actors looking for a way in. I am doing an MA degree at XXX and I am here to tell you - you don’t need drama school, especially if you want to do film, TV or VO. There is a lot of abuse from lecturers and the industry has not changed when it comes to that. They will treat you badly although you paid for the course and are a full blown adult (our course is mixed with the youngest being 21 and oldest in his seventies.) It is not just me - I have witnessed people crying, people filing ..read more

I just got new headshots done and they look good, but I have a small stubble going on..as 5-7 months have passed by since then, I have only shaved maybe 2-3 times. In almost every self-tape I'm saying, "and I can be clean shaven if needed" I'm kinda scared of getting headshots w/ full facial hair..its like, I'm getting old..I'm not a young kid anymore, I guess I'm scared. At the same time, I feel I look a bit "more handsome" with a beard. I'm trying to find a trimmer to trim it down slightly, not shave the entire thing off. I think I find one for $100 which feels like a punch in the gut. anyw ..read more

I applied for a role in a student film a few months ago which was supposed to shoot earlier this month. It’s my first time applying and auditioning for something. I didn’t hear anything back other than a ‘we’ll be in touch’ which I knew was unlikely if I didn’t get the role. I didn’t hear anything back and I had forgotten about it until last week I had an email asking if I was still interested in the role because the team were very keen on giving me the role. I found out that the actress that they originally cast cancelled so I’m assuming I was the second option, fine by me. It’s an unpaid ro ..read more

Or is there a good or bad time of year to submit? Or is it just dependent on the agencies and what they need at the time? submitted by /u/Objective-Priority54 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Context (scroll down if you only want to read the problem): Hi! I'm a very passionate individual when it comes to acting, singing , and dancing <3 for now this is a hobby but I'm working on my skills to in the future to be able to make some money from it without losing my career (I do something non-artistic for a living and I genuinely love it too). I'm 24 if that somehow is relevant. I'll give a bit of context of me as a person for the problem to be understood better. I have been wanting to get diagnosed for asperger due to certain things, specially with how much I struggle with socializi ..read more
