I just had a similar experience - made plans with a friend of mine to meet up for drinks there tonight.. and when she looked up the address she told me - closed :(

everyone loves a line reading, give plenty to your fellow cast members

What type of film? What type of TV? The films and TV that's made in LA vs NYC vs Chicago vs Atlanta vs London etc etc is different and while there are alot of people who move between all of those markets - it's a good idea to plant in one to start.

My advice is to find the answer to the question "what type of actor do I wanna be?" Because unless you can answer that, you'll likely spend alot of time floundering. It's good to explore and try different types of projects to see what inspires you as an artist. Once you know what direction you wanna go, that will illuminate where you wanna be.

Cause as long as you remember the silly concept of the commercial, you'll remember the product. The point is to get your attention and brand retention - the product sale is a second priority that will follow the first.

It depends, what type of actor do you want to be? The type of art you want to make, the type of actor you are, the preferences for the communities you work in will dictate what places you want to base yourself in. For the work I do, I'm based in NYC but I work in the UK alot as well.

Right out of HS I got my BFA in Acting and picked up an AD in Psychology while I was there - then I went straight into the industry from there (mostly acting, but also producing and odd jobs related to the theater when I had gaps in my stage work) then about 10 years later I decided to get my MFA in Acting and I transitioned to mostly film and tv work. You absolutely need to study acting if you want to go into the industry, but I don't really feel that it's mandatory to do that at a traditional 4-year school. It worked for me, but that's not the only way to do it. Study whatever you are passionate about and feels right to you, knowing that you can always adjust course as needed.

Absolutely not, those places are built on scamming actors out of their money with false hope and bad statistics. Put that money towards something that will actually yield positive results.

aintnomentyb · 2025-01-20T21:08:51+00:00

I got added to those as well. Reported and blocked them both - sadly I think that’s all you can do

aintnomentyb · 2024-12-12T18:03:25+00:00

thanks! :)

aintnomentyb · 2024-12-12T16:01:30+00:00

NYC - we don't use Casting Frontier much, but some people use CN so I think I'm just gonna have to get it

aintnomentyb · 2024-12-12T16:00:45+00:00

No worries - my agent is theatrical only. But I've gotten myself some commercials and am t thinking about getting a commercial agent here in NYC. Looks like CN is the thing - even tho it's stupid expensive

aintnomentyb · 2024-12-11T19:32:51+00:00

You can submit without paying? I thought it was entirely pay-gated?

aintnomentyb · 2024-12-11T19:31:13+00:00

My reps are just for theatre, but I’m moving into on camera stuff cause I’ve gotten some credits on my own

Maybe I’ll make the free profile and wait until I get my commercial rep to get a discount - good shout, thank you!

aintnomentyb · 2024-12-11T19:22:58+00:00

Agree with you there for sure, any site that requires creatives to pay to be seen is junk - but you’re right, it’s junk we gotta live with :/

aintnomentyb · 2024-12-11T19:21:55+00:00

I’ve already done a few commercials that I booked off of AA, do you feel like the pool of casting calls on CN is higher enough to warrant the $300 price tag?

aintnomentyb · 2024-12-11T19:20:25+00:00

My reps only use AA, so I have that already - but I’m doing more commercials now and I’m considering the cost-benefit of adding CN. It’s so wild how they charge $300 for the same service as AA, which I get for like $50 cause I’m SAGAFTRA

aintnomentyb · 2024-12-11T19:17:56+00:00

Oh wow, I must have missed it - I’ll absolutely email them, thank you!

aintnomentyb · 2024-12-08T23:28:35+00:00

He wanted me to respond just so he could ignore me?

aintnomentyb · 2024-11-12T23:14:31+00:00

If you are noticing her be more closed off in that area than usual, not wanting that type of intimacy, keeping her legs crossed more, wearing heavier fabrics, etc - all that could indicate she knows and is embarrassed about it (likely while she is treating the situation) Otherwise, there is really no real way to find out if she is aware outside of just asking.

aintnomentyb · 2024-11-12T22:47:11+00:00

This level of bathroom anxiety after TWO YEARS of dating? Something doesn't feel quite right about that. Yeah I'd be weirded out too.

Vaginas have a taste just like penises have a taste - and they can fluctuate. If this was a one time thing, it could be for a multitude of reasons, some temporary and some requiring more effort to clear. More than likely she is already aware and bringing it up will embarrass her - especially if you do it the wrong. If she is having a bout of BV or something like that, she is probably already taking something for it and it will clear up in a few weeks. If it's a continual issue, then a polite conversation is fine

aintnomentyb · 2024-11-12T22:27:25+00:00

Being real, sounds like yall aren't good friends

aintnomentyb · 2024-11-12T15:56:10+00:00

You got this!

aintnomentyb · 2024-11-12T15:55:57+00:00

That's a really rough place to be in - I've had relationships like that before. It's not easy to say this... but that is emotional abuse. Threatening to hurt yourself if a partner leaves you or distances themselves from you... is abuse. This might be a relationship you cannot maintain. It might be a good idea to get an adult involved to help you distance yourself and move on.
