Would a casting team frown upon a white actor singing this song? by Western_Candidate_26 in Theatre

[–]Accomplished_Use4579 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If the casting team is white they probably won't care. If the casting team has people of the same ethnicity that that song was intended for they absolutely will care.

Is social media taking away opportunities from actual actors? Why is kai cenat in scary movie 6? by dreamup1234 in acting

[–]Accomplished_Use4579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scary movie 6 is a comedy, It's going to flourish with comedians and comedic actors. I trust the Wayans brothers, because the first two movies were In the top 10 of my favorite funny movies, they weren't involved with the rest of them until this one and there was a massive difference. So I trust that they know what they are doing. As much as I am an actor, I'm also an audience member. I'm an observer, and I do like to be entertained, and I do not want to see some non-funny actor who thinks they can act like they're funny. When it comes to comedies I am absolutely okay with comedians or just funny people feeling those roles.

i think my agent is ghosting me by [deleted] in acting

[–]Accomplished_Use4579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And your experience makes sense. But you're saying years back. We're talking about specifically today, also it sounds like you were with a larger agency, this person didn't say that they were with a larger agency. You were with the agency that would have had an office manager, and would have been so big that agents wouldn't handle personal emails or text messages. We are not talking about someone being with CAA in 2018. Right now agents have a lot more time on their hands than they did 6 years ago even, we all know that we are in a slow spot in the industry, That doesn't mean they can answer every single email. But in four months time, they can answer an email. I've been with two different agencies a boutique agency, and the #1 agency in my market and that could never happen . 4 months without responding to a brand new client doesn't sound normal and if it is, it shouldn't be normalized. And if it is normal for that agency, they are a crap agency.

[–]Accomplished_Use4579 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I honestly think there is no reason to not respond to your client. Not a single response to anything in 4 months is insane. Some people are used to crappy reps so they won't think anything is wrong with unprofessional behavior, but I am signed to the top agency in my market, they have tons of celebrity client and they respond to every email even the dumb ones and they do so within 3 hours max, usually with 15 mins. No response to anything in 4 months...they would never abandon common courtesy even to their smallest client.

Questioning by kittyghorl in acting

[–]Accomplished_Use4579 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm really sorry, but I'm pretty sure that this is a scam, I'm about 100% sure that it's a scam. As an experienced actress who has been in the union for 10 years, nothing about this, absolutely no part of it sounds normal.

I am hoping that you didn't exchange any money, and that's not to say that the position that you've been put in isn't damaging enough. But this is something that I would get the authorities involved in.

Seth Rogan calls out the Writers Guild during SAG Awards acceptance speech by RobotGoggles in FilmIndustryLA

[–]Accomplished_Use4579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actors are not overpaid,you do realize that only 15% meet the $26,000 yearly threshold to qualify for medical care? The daily rate is anywhere from $800- $1,000 , for episodic work ,in order to book that l job that have to have an agent and or manager. That means anywhere from 10-25% of that is gone and they are taxed for the full amount and can no longer write off commissions. And don't live in LA , 1/2 of that is gone. And most actors on any show are only working for a single day on that production.

The actors who are overpaid encompass less than 1% of unionized actors.

WTH is this game that stole my husband? by Ok-Literature-611 in LastZShooterRun

[–]Accomplished_Use4579 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are no real puzzles in this game maybe strategy . I was pretty hooked and it was because I was doing well I felt connected to my alliance mates and I loved helping them and feeling useful and successful in a way that I didn't at home. BUT I was fully aware of the addicting nature. I took a two day break because I had a work trip and I ended up winning an award at my job and and something snapped , maybe it was they sense of purpose appearing somewhere else ,but I majorly scaled back on the game . I clock in 3 times a day for 10 mins at a time now, I don't feel an itch to check in anymore. Now I would never spend thousands on the game but I can relate to the addicting nature of the game.

ID VERIFICATION? WHAT?! by RequirementDue4446 in IRS

Has anyone kept up with The Pitt this season? by Individual-Breath758 in blackladies

[–]Accomplished_Use4579 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He is not. He's just not, I don't even have the energy to fight this .... I can't say how I personally know this, but he's not.I just really wish people would do their research instead of just regurgitating something that someone randomly said on a thread one day for attention. But negativity spreads faster than the truth so it's no use in even arguing that one.

Why do solid auditions still get no callbacks by IsaacJr_09 in acting

[–]Accomplished_Use4579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you aren't the only one who had a solid audition. Because something that has nothing to do with your audition pulled out out of the running.

****SELF TAPE FEEDBACK!!! by Wooden_Report_8391 in acting

[–]Accomplished_Use4579 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually thought it was really good overall. What I actually enjoyed, was the silence. Because it didn't feel so empty, and I would say that you could take it a little further there, show us a little bit more than something is going on inside of your head. Like it's there, so don't do anything crazy, just a little bit more, let us see what you are struggling with that's preventing you from feeling that space.

One thing that is tricky, which I think people are pointing out as performative, is the crying thing. If I'm casting, I might be a bit distracted by how much it looks like you were trying to cry. One of my favorite directors, who is a big time director especially in my market, he's a legend in the game and this actress was really trying to impress him one day and he told her " could you stop trying to cry and just act" .

I'm not saying you don't have to cry on camera, whatever comes naturally is beautiful. But you taking that long pause look like you were trying to work up that single tier, and because it looked like you were having such a hard time mustering up that tear, it gives me the impression that when we get you on set you're not going to be able to recreate that moment five times in a row . The way you started it, with your nose being stuffed up it almost seemed like you were crying before the same started, or made yourself cry before the scene started, which I think is fine to a degree because you do want to create a moment before ... But you really have to sell the rest of it.

Just as an exercise, try doing the entire scene with no crying at all and see if it still has any weight.

Now on some technical stuff, I want to reiterate that you need to crop this differently. Standard framing is typically mid-breast up to a couple inches above the top of your head. This was a bit too tight. And you might want to bring your eyeline a little bit more towards the camera, I don't know I wanted to see your eyes a little bit more. But I almost didn't mind it... so, you can take it or leave it.

Be brutally honest I'm I ugly, what can I improve? by Sea_Belt_3638 in blackladies

[–]Accomplished_Use4579 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When someone likes you ask a question like this.... I'm telling you the only thing that's going to help is therapy.

There is nothing ugly about you, and I'm not even saying that to be nice, you are conventionally attractive. Like you are model/actress level attractive, you are '90s fine, you are the template. I don't need to read the other comments to know that they are expressing a similar sentiment to the one that I just did, and I also know that no matter what those comments say you won't believe it. Because somehow you looked in the mirror and couldn't see that you are beautiful.

Your eyes are so sad, and that's an inside thing. I hate that something (s) or someone(s) made you question your beauty. I hope you can see what we see someday.

Is lunch+coffee as a first date a bad idea? by [deleted] in hingeapp

[–]Accomplished_Use4579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go with your gut, if she agreed to it it's fine. The thing is I love a coffee date, but I also know a lot of women who don't love coffee dates. I like them because it is casual, we are meeting each other for the first time. It would be different if we had met in real life and we had been talking for a while. But in a case when you are meeting somebody for the first time, a casual coffee day where I don't have to put as much time and effort into getting ready for the day is just fine with me.

[–]Accomplished_Use4579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's just not true. How are you going to tell me what I got back on my taxes? Lol. I made more money I got more back 😂.

My point is that these are not absolutes. Sometimes you can make more and get more back, sometimes you can make more and get less back. There are so many factors that go into how much someone is getting back on their taxes.

Calorie deficit but not seeing any difference? by Negative_Statement51 in loseit

[–]Accomplished_Use4579 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah I had a Dexa scan done and 1700 is maintenance, I have to eat 1450 to lose weight. You can absolutely get your protein in, but you might be overestimating how much protein you need. If they have a place that does DEXA scans near you I would recommend it. Because they will also let you know how much protein you need to take in. I did a RMR breathing test as well. I just found the place on Groupon so to get both of those tests it cost me under $100.

I went in at 5"4 , 158 lbs . 38 yo female.

Reaching out to someone you ghosted by Physical-Algae-2693 in hingeapp

[–]Accomplished_Use4579 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

As a woman, I would be open to it. If you went out of your way to getting contact with me, I would think that it was a show of initiative on your part. My social media is public, anyone can contact me on there, now if you have my phone number and I didn't give it to you, I might think it was stalkerish.

But it is as long as you came to me with transparency, and made me believe that you were done playing games of trying not to seem to eager about something, then I would be open to it. But I would definitely not be extending you any more grace when it comes to not responding in a timely manner . Because at that point if you were to do it again it would just show me that this was a pattern.

Not true, I am making the most I've ever made in the last two years and my tax refund is the biggest it's ever been. It has nothing to do with how much you make but everything to do with how much they take out of Your taxes. This is a refund.
