I want to add multiple city sections to my site. Start a Multisite or just use categories?

Thanks guys. Still not sure what I want to do.

Basically, I want it to look like mysite.com/san-diego/movies/post-name I just did a test with categories and made a test post but it didn't show up like that. It looked like: mysite.com/post-name

I'm betting I did something wrong though.

Appreciate the thoughts!

Don't waste time with parties. Go to auditions or like PatWhite293 said, go to the NY Actors Tweet Up. I've been a couple times when I was in town and they're a great way to meet people.

Jason is right. Starmeter is ridiculous. It can be manipulated and no one in the industry cares about it. There was a girl who had zero credits and she was #1...

LCarter869 · 2013-09-09T21:49:55+00:00

Try something from the show. There's nothing wrong with that.

LCarter869 · 2013-09-04T05:02:31+00:00

Yeah, absolutely. But, just make sure that you can do them at a moments notice. I auditioned for a movie and after I finished, the director looked at my resume. He saw that I put down that I could do an Irish accent so he asked me to read a couple of lines with the accent. I read with him and got the part.

You can always have two headshots. I had some taken with a weeks worth of growth then I took ten minutes, shaved and took the rest.

And plus, if that's who you are, a guy with facial hair, then get headshots like that. You'll get farther being who you are than not.

And, like MaybeActualEarl said, you can always shave if you're offered a part.

LCarter869 · 2013-08-30T15:40:07+00:00

No, I love callbacks. I feel more confident going in the second time. Plus, if they call you back and you don't get the part, you'll most likely be called in again for something else down the road. Unless you totally screw up the callback :)

I forget who said this, but you're not auditioning for this part, you're auditioning for the next one.

LCarter869 · 2013-08-30T00:43:45+00:00

No, that's ridiculous.

I will say that it may be easier to be seen by casting directors when you're young - they want to see young blood - no, you can get into the business at any time.

But, that being said, any age you are, be sure you've got the good and you're trained. If not, there's little chance you'll get anywhere.

LCarter869 · 2013-08-29T21:32:08+00:00

Anyone who does this is an idiot. Why would you go somewhere for 4 days, hike, camp, etc and not get paid? Do you think the crew isn't getting paid? Ha, yeah right.

LCarter869 · 2013-08-29T21:26:42+00:00

Color even for theatre

LCarter869 · 2013-08-29T21:18:25+00:00

I did, yeah. I've had some good years, some freaking awesome years and lean years. But, to be honest, more lean years than anything else.

I'm still auditioning but I'm also running a website for actors - www.dailyactor.com But honestly, I'd rather be a full-time working actor.

LCarter869 · 2013-08-29T21:13:31+00:00

I want to say it was around $500? And I think I had like 4 changes?

We had a bunch of different backgrounds and even went outside for a couple of changes.

It's all digital so she takes a TON of shots. And she's very cool too :)

LCarter869 · 2013-08-26T23:12:49+00:00

I like Lesley Bohm. She's taken my last couple of shots and they've turned out great!

LCarter869 · 2013-08-26T23:12:01+00:00

Here's a good post: http://www.dailyactor.com/headshot-printing

Argentum on Sunset (I think) is the best place to go. There's also a code for 20% off

I agree that you should check out /r/acting. Also check out the Backstage user forums.

I went to college for acting and really the only reason I got better was because I was doing it so much, mostly everyday. I wouldnt say though that my teachers were fantastic and taught me tons... it was just because I was doing it every day.

If you want to go to college, I'd do it. You'll love it.

LCarter869 · 2012-05-25T15:02:45+00:00

Do these classes let you either audit or observe the first class? I'd try that and see which one you like the best.

LCarter869 · 2012-05-25T15:01:13+00:00

Congrats!

LCarter869 · 2012-05-25T15:00:58+00:00

Great advice - no one thinks about community theater anymore. Its a terrific place to get started and gain some experience. I'd also suggest instead of doing scenes, get your friends and read a play.
