While this doesn’t make me feel better about acting, I’m 100% grateful at this video helping me realize I have more options than I thought, thank you for this, it’s given me a brighter hope than I haven’t had in a very long time.

[@TheActorsAcademy]

Hopefully it helps you see a path towards longevity in this business. Glad I could shed some more light on the subject for you though. Wishing the best!

Business people wished they an artistic mindset and artists wished they had a business mindset

This is so helpful! I definitely want to go into acting and this is the kinda stuff I don’t really know! No one ever talks about it and I never know where to find this info! So thanks :)

[@TheActorsAcademy]

You’re right that this info is hard to find and not talked about. Funny enough this is what I’d consider to be one of the most important topics. I know it’s not my typical videos, but I hope you all enjoy and most importantly find it helpful/informative. 🙏🏼

@@TFANF Most importantly because of the Inflation in are economy now. Studios had to hike up the price for casting calls.

Glad I could help!

[@ratemyactors]

Wow, this episode of The Actors Academy really hits home. I didn't realize just how tough it can be for actors to make a living in the industry. The stats are astonishing - it's no wonder many talented actors give up after just one year. I appreciate the honesty and insight shared in this video. It's a tough pill to swallow, but every aspiring actor needs to hear this reality check. Thank you for sharing your expertise and shedding light on the struggles behind the scenes

Yass...finally got to be the first to comment on a video 😝🙏

[@TheActorsAcademy]

Haha WOOOOOO! I can confirm you are the first 👍🏼👍🏼

[@user-ds4xc3kw3q]

That helps you can still audition for young rolls at age 30 cause you would still look like a teenager and you spent your extra time working while waiting for your big break to quit.

[@TheActorsAcademy]

Exactly 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@user-ds4xc3kw3q]

Thank you! 💕

If you have videos about British Speech sounds. Could you give me the link?

[@GEM1-g9k]

if you are working a full-time job when do you have time to do acting work?

[@TheActorsAcademy]

Do you mean in terms of auditioning or working on a movie set full time AND having another full time job?

[@user-xb1lt6vh2f]

@@TheActorsAcademy I think it means in terms of auditioning

[@TheActorsAcademy]

If that’s the case, then yes you very much so have time to do so. Before 2020 most auditions were held in person, which would make it difficult to work a full time job if every week you had an audition in the middle of the day, because you would have to leave work, drive across town and do your audition, but things have changed now. Now audition are 99% done remotely with self tapes. Which means, instead of saying hey you need to leave work on Thursday to make your audition appointment, now you record your audition at home (which you can film anytime during the week after work) and send it in anytime before Thursday. Actors are now able to have a full time job and easily audition at the same time.
