IMPORTANT ACTING LESSONS! I asked students about the most important aspects of acting. They mostly talk about using character thoughts. Subtext is just briefly mentioned but it’s a huge part of what your character thinks when speaking. Watch this then click on this post for a link to more on WORDS!

I need help as a minor being poor with family, but I want to act so bad.

Is there any websites for free? How do I get a role without having a manager, I am a minor my parents work slot to provide for me and my siblings, so are their any free websites or places I can go to have role? Like twisted by Ana, powerless by lauren, another season for agggtm, avatar? (Unlikely), voice acting or being a character in a game like the last of us? Or should I just wait when I'm of age to start going by myself for the roles, k honestly wanted to get in twisted, powerless, agggtm, and avatar.

THIS SUB IS DIFFERENT!!! It’s not your typical forum where you ask questions to the public. It’s an actual ACTING CLASS with a teacher with decades of experience. There are free written & video lessons, & affordable Zoom classes. (Click on this post and read on!)

I love helping actors. But if you have no experience acting and have never studied the craft, you cannot just practice in your room in front of the mirror. THAT’S NOT ACTING. If you try posting on this sub asking for suggestions there is too much to tell you. You need to learn FIRST!

I created this sub to give anyone who dreams of being an actor, a better idea of what it’s all about. So please don’t post here asking for what to do to start an acting career. This whole sub has advice for you. Go to those posts and get to work!

The technique I teach is my own (a combination of all the well known schools I attended) and it is extremely effective. It’s practical and logical. Take the time to read the in depth lessons I have written for you!

The [WRITTEN LESSONS](https://www.reddit.com/r/Actingclass/s/02XmfE2PM3) are found in the first pinned post, “How to Start an Acting Career”. They can give you some new insights on the basics of acting and some eye opening new concepts. Read the Blue Links towards the bottom of the post , in order from top to bottom. After reading each one, add a summary comment or question beneath. I will respond. We can start a dialogue and I will give you feedback. Follow me and look at my comments to see what I’ve replied to others. See what they’ve written. You can learn so much just by reading the comments.

The free [VIDEO LESSONS](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxgSZSQpmhrVYAD9yrXY4N\_2qYo0cOfI6&si=jQCjJnEPfGzluGrB) should be watched from the bottom up. Leave comments and ask questions there too.

Live Zoom class sessions are ongoing. New sessions start every 5 weeks. The info for those are [HERE](https://www.reddit.com/r/Actingclass/comments/150ibt7/welcome_to_winnie_hillers_ractingclass_class_sign/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button). That’s where you will get to work with actors from all over the US and the world.

Here’s a [VIDEO](https://www.reddit.com/r/Actingclass/comments/1mr9yod/class_starts_sunday_so_if_you_are_wondering_what/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) of students talking about their experience with the sub and the classes.

I hope you will join me!

All the best,

Need advice- intimacy scenes as a non actor

my husband only recently started expressing interest in becoming an on camera actor and I’ve been nothing but super supportive- helping with self tapes, encouraging him to take hard acting classes etc.

I do however struggle with the intimacy scenes he will be eventually doing:. and i think he will be peer-pressured into actually rehearsing real kissing in his classes because others chose to do it too instead of taking modifications like hugging or hand holding instead of kissing in class.

in addition, his scene partner (W) wants him to come to her apartment next week to rehearse the scene and I’m afraid they will try one of the intimate options I’m not comfortable with him doing… just because its so normalized in his class.. and then he will tell me abt it later and try to make it seem like its so normal - even though we discussed boundaries in scenes like that prior.

should I suggest they rehearse in a real rehearsal space instead of her apt??

Online Acting Class Suggestions

Looking for some online acting classes to take for a beginner! I’m in college and have a job, so I want something flexible. Because of school, acting isn’t really something I prioritize right now, but I want to go ahead and build a resume so I have a solid base when I am ready to put all of my focus onto it. Please let me know if you have any recommendations or tips, thanks so much!

Lead role study recommendations

Greetings fellow actors!!
As the title states, I’m looking for study recommendations.

I’ve been going to an acting school for the past year and a half now and the teacher is also a director. He has opened my eyes to a level of acting I didn’t know I could attain! Helped me believe in myself. I now say “I’m an actor!” as opposed to “Yeeeah, I do this acting thing” because of him.

He will be shooting his first independent feature film next month and tapped me for the lead role! Not gonna lie, I’m feeling the pressure as I’ve never done anything of this magnitude. The most I’ve done in class was the fight scene in Marriage Story and it was 9 pages, his project is 85 pages!

Now, I don’t have any issues with memorization but I would like to know how does one study a script that size? I’ve just been reading it, not memorizing anything yet.

Any suggestions and recommendations are welcomed and appreciated!
