For that inner thespian trying to break out.
There are thousands of new actors who arrive in Los Angeles every year. On one hand, that means there are always lots of fun, gregarious people to hang out with; on the other hand, it means there is a ton of competition for actors, with more coming all the time. Actors have their own unique obstacles to overcome – professionally, emotionally, intellectually, and more – so we wanted to provide a section of resources for all things thespian.
Check out some of the resources below, and don’t forget to dive into our list of Recommended Books for actors. And if you run across other resources that would be good to include here, let us know!
