Hey Acting Academy! I wanted to share a little win with you all: I’ve been nominated for New Artist of the Year at the 20th Annual Queen City Awards! 🥹👑 Voting is open now. If you’d like to support me, please select Abby Burkholder under New Artist of the Year: https://queencityawards.com/voting I’m grateful to be building a career alongside so many creative people in this community. Thank you for celebrating this moment with me! 💛

Hellooo Peoples! I am Claudine, I am new to acting and filmmaking but I am heavily into writing, different types of writing and also into screenwriting. I would love to network with other storytellers and collaborate in bringing stories to life and inspiring, reaching, and touching people. And also explore film from both sides of the camera!

I know it’s bright and early, I’ve been on 10 since 5 this morning 🤣 I’m curious, what’s everyone working on project wise? What is everyone working towards? What is everyone’s 5 year goal?

Okay… I know I disappeared for a minute. 😂 I originally created this community because I wanted a place where actors and creatives could learn, ask questions, share resources, celebrate wins, and navigate this absolutely insane industry together. Then life got BUSY. Between being on set, auditioning, working, traveling, booking new projects, and continuing to build my own career, I decided to take a step away from the Academy. But during that time, I realized something: I still really want this community to exist. And if anything, I’ve come back with MORE experiences, mistakes, lessons, resources, and industry knowledge to share than I had when I started it. So we’re restarting. 🖤 I’ve simplified the name to Acting Academy, and I’m bringing the community back with a renewed focus on practical, real-world information for actors who are actively trying to build their careers. We’re talking: 🎭 Auditions & self tapes 🎬 Finding and submitting for roles 📧 Casting emails & submissions 📸 Headshots, reels & resumes 🤝 Networking 🌐 Actor branding & social media 🎤 Voice acting 📸 Modeling 💼 On-set professionalism 🎥 Workshops & Q&As 🖤 Honest conversations about navigating this industry And I’m going to be sharing what I’m learning while I’m actively doing it — the wins AND the mistakes. If you were here before, thank you for sticking around. If you’re new, welcome to the chaos. 😂🎬 Acting Academy is officially back in session. Now tell me: what’s ONE thing you want me to cover first? 👀

What’s something you wish someone had told you before getting into acting? Or, if you’re brand new: what’s something that CONFUSES you about the industry? I’ll answer questions throughout the day because I guarantee if one person is wondering it, somebody else is too 👀
