What’s a pre-screen?
“I do voice work and a recent casting is asking for a ‘pre-screen.’ What is this? What do I do?” —zamboknee
Stage name?
“My stage name is just my first name, but I am not sure if that should be the name on my profile or if I should use my first and last name on my profile. So my question is, should the name on my profile be my full/real name or my stage name?” —theactress
Getting acting experience as a student?
“Hello people, I am a student and I just recently got Backstage. Aside from school theater, I don’t have much experience in acting. Is there anything I can do right now to practice until I land a job? I figured YouTube is a good place to find resources. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to further my chances of finding jobs in my area, or how I can further any and all of my skills to help me land gigs.” —Salvatore
