Changing it Up
A career in acting can mean a lot of different things. You may feel like this means a constantly changing routine with new things being thrown into the mix all the time, but there is also a possibility that you feel like you’re stuck doing the same things. Wake up, work out, run lines, go …
The Perks of SAG/AFTRA
Other than being a member of SAG/AFTRA (which means that you will be paid SAG/AFTRA scale, be taken more seriously as an actor, have a higher chance of booking major roles in films, etc…) there isn’t much more that you could want in the beginning of your career as an actor. Besides the perks such …
IMDB Pro VS Backstage

Your Auditions
There is not a lot that makes an actor happier than having a super busy week full of auditions and booking jobs. Most of the time, it is not typical to have more than one audition in a day. Your agents love you and don’t want to kill you with driving time and a …
Keeping Yourself Motivated
A lot of careers in the acting world begin with a ton of hard work and effort. There aren’t a lot of extremely successful careers that I know of where the person just “stepped into” success.

Well If Acting Doesn’t Work Out…
There are a few phrases I really hate to hear. One of the things that just rubs me the wrong way is when a person uses the above phrase as a compliment. If you make a great cake, dress someone really well, or show any type of competence at anything and someone tells you, “well …
