Welcome to My Actor Guide!

About Me

Hi! I'm Hunter Phoenix. I'm the founder of My Actor Guide. I'm a career actress, model and voice over artist with 20+ years experience in 8 different countries. And I have a passion for all things acting + entertainment industry ... almost all of it!

I remember wanting to try the whole “acting thing” as a career and just not having any idea where to begin; no training, no experience, no agent, or family in the industry – but I created an acting career from scratch! You can too.

Every age, every nationality, every size, every level of experience.

My mission is to help you unlock your creativity and courage to try acting as a new career or to fully pursue this dream and passion on a path that you have already started on.

Let Me + My Actor Guide help you with the how.

#acting #actorslife ✨ Yes, as crazy as it may se #acting #actorslife ✨ Yes, as crazy as it may seem, with all of the social media and online casting sites, actors are still expected to have a website. The advantage to this is having EVERYTHING –  all of your marketing materials, social links and online casting links in one easy to access place. ⁠⁠Your website is really a home base for all of your marketing materials: your headshots, resume, demo footage or reel, any additional media, social media accounts, as well as links to your IMDB and online casting profiles. A professional looking actor website tells the world you’re a professional actor. And a messy or half-assed one….? Well, you get the idea!⁠⁠Here are the 12 things your actor website needs to have to be compelling and give you a competitive edge.⁠✨✨ LINK IN BIO ✨✨⁠https://myactorguide.com/12-things-your-actor-website-needs-to-have-to-help-you-book-more-work⁠✨⁠✨⁠#actingaudition #becomeanactor #learnacting #actingtips  #actors  #actorslife🎬 #audition #selftape #selftapeaudition #castingdirectors #thisisacting #actingismylife #actingismypassion #actingcoach #actingadvice #sagaftra #actra #bafta #followyourdreams #happierinhollywood #almostfamous #dreambig #everyactor #everyartist 🌟 #myactorguide 🌟
