πŸ“¨ SEND US YOUR GRIND

Your acting life is content.

Seriously. You don't need a million followers. You don't need a fancy camera. You don't need to have β€œmade it.” You don't even need to know exactly what you're doing. We want the real stuff.

What can you send?

Pretty much anything that gives another actor a glimpse into what this life actually looks like.

πŸŽ₯

Video clips

Day-in-the-life footage, auditions, behind the scenes, rehearsals or whatever you've captured.

πŸ˜‚

Funny stuff

Actor jokes, skits, memes, weird audition moments and painfully relatable situations.

πŸ†

Your wins

Booked something? Got a callback? Finally got that headshot? Tell us.

😩

Your vents

Bad audition? No response? Questioning everything? We get it.

Something you've learned the hard way that another actor might need to hear.

Something else

If you're not sure whether it fits, send it anyway. We'll figure it out.

Okay. Send it.

Tell us what you've got. It doesn't have to be perfect. It doesn't have to be edited. It doesn't even have to make sense yet. We'll take a look.

🫢 One important thing

We will always ask for permission before publishing your submission. You remain the person behind your work.

Submit to Acting Grind

The more context you give us, the better we can understand what you're sending.

Why we want your stuff.

Because the acting industry is usually shown from the outside. We want to show it from inside.

01

The boring bits matter.

Waiting for an email. Learning lines at midnight. Driving across town for a two-line role. Those are part of the story too.

02

The small wins matter.

Not every actor is going to book a series regular next week. Sometimes getting a callback is the win.

03

Someone needs to see it.

Your experience might be the exact thing another actor needs to see on the day they're thinking about quitting.

Before you send...

Do I need professional video?
No. Phone footage is completely fine. Sometimes the rough footage is actually more interesting because it feels real.
Do I have to be a professional actor?
No. Acting Grind is for actors at different stages of their careers. If you're pursuing acting, you're welcome here.
Will everything I submit be published?
No. Sending something does not automatically mean it gets published. We'll review submissions and contact you about potential use.
Can I submit anonymously?
Yes. If you have something to say but don't want your identity publicly attached to it, tell us in your submission.
Can I send footage more than once?
Absolutely. In fact, if you want us to follow your acting journey over time, we'd love that.
What if I don't know what category my submission fits?
Send it anyway. Seriously. If it feels like something another actor would relate to, we'd rather see it than have you decide it isn't β€œgood enough.”
