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 “made 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.
Video clips
Day-in-the-life footage, auditions, behind the scenes, rehearsals or whatever you've captured.
Funny stuff
Actor jokes, skits, memes, weird audition moments and painfully relatable situations.
Your wins
Booked something? Got a callback? Finally got that headshot? Tell us.
Your vents
Bad audition? No response? Questioning everything? We get it.
Tips & advice
Something you've learned the hard way that another actor might need to hear.
Actor stories
Your journey, your background, your weird path through the industry.
Your grind series
Want us to follow your journey? Send clips continuously and become part of the series.
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.
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.
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.
The small wins matter.
Not every actor is going to book a series regular next week. Sometimes getting a callback is the win.
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.
