Member Success Stories

It is, to this day, one of the best career decisions I've ever made. I have signed with a great theatrical agency, booked a feature film, and wrote, starred in, and produced my own short that is currently circulating film festivals. I also now have relationships with major casting directors and a concrete game plan to take my career to the next level. I recommend Working.Actor to anyone who is ready to get serious about their career.

🙋 Answers to Your Questions

You know, the questions that you have. Frequently.

Absolutely! We made this to be the resource we wish we had when we started in this business.

Congrats! Even if you have an agent and are regularly booking, we have content that will help you book even more (and better!) work, improve your networking skills, self-tape like a pro, master social media, and so much more.

You'll also have the opportunity to expand your network and give tips to your fellow artists who are just getting started!

In short, no. Working.Actor is the perfect place to start. You'll learn how to save money on headshots, what to look for so you don't waste money on an acting class that's a bad fit, where to look for auditions, and how to find the right agents and manager for you.

Nope... this is relevant to actors working in commercials, TV, and movies in any market! Most everything is applicable whether you are in NYC, Vancouver, Georgia, or elsewhere. Fundamentally, building a career as a working actor is the same everywhere.

That said, we know that every market has its own unique attributes, and we'll continue add relevant info as we learn more from our friends and members in these places.

The general principles of a successful career apply no matter where you are. If there are specifics relevant to your local market that aren't covered in the guides, ask the community! We'll do our best to answer your questions.

This is not a live course with due dates or deadlines. The content is available to you all at once so you choose the pace that fits in your schedule.

Depends on your stage of careerand your definition of success. Everyone's path is different, but if you expect to become famous overnight you will likely be sorely disappointed.

Think of acting like any other career. People typically spend a number of years getting experience and working their way up. A professional acting career is no different, and there's a reason people say "it takes ten years to become an overnight success."

We made this site to give you the information and tools you need to shave years off the time needed to become a working actor.

There's a lot to know to have a successful career, but you won't need to tackle it all at once. Find the section that is relevant to the next step for you and work through it. (Or start with our Goals section to figure out what that is!) Carve out a little time on a regular basis and take it one step at a time. If you ever get stuck, ask the coaches and community!

As little or as long as you'd like to have access to the content and community. You're not locked into anything, so it's up to you. That said, as soon as you sign up, you lock in your membership rate for as long as your subscription is active. Even if the price goes up, you'll stay locked in at the lower rate.

You bet!

We've already added tons of content and features since we launched and continue to do so.

Future content to be added will cover finances & taxes, thrival jobs, self-producing, productivity, and more!

More video courses are in the works too.

We'll also be adding the ability to earn badges for interaction and progress in your career.

There are 2 formats:

Membinars are a monthly Q&A call where you can get get live coaching.

There's also a community section (kind of like a Facebook group, but without the distractions of being on Facebook) where you can post your questions, and we'll answer.

We've done phone coaching for $250/hr. But these formats allows you to get answers as-needed for a whole lot less!
