About Actors.ie
Actors.ie exists to give actors in Ireland — and actors thinking about working here — clear, straightforward information about how the industry works. It's for people at all stages, from complete beginners to working professionals who want to sanity-check their next steps.
What this site is (and isn't)
Actors.ie is:
- A free online resource with guides about acting in Ireland
- Focused on practical topics like training, agents, auditions and self-tapes
- Written to help you ask better questions and make informed decisions
Actors.ie is not:
- A casting website
- An agency or management company
- A replacement for professional legal, immigration, tax or union advice
You won't find job listings, auditions or direct casting calls here. Instead, the goal is to help you understand the landscape so you can recognise good opportunities when they appear.
Who Actors.ie is for
Actors.ie is for:
- People living in Ireland who are curious about acting
- Irish actors who want to move from amateur to professional work
- Actors abroad considering relocating or working in the Irish industry
- Parents and guardians of young performers who want to understand the basics
The advice is intentionally general. Every actor's situation is different, and the industry changes over time, so you should always combine what you read here with your own research and professional guidance.
Information, not advice
Acting often touches on areas like contracts, pay, rights, visas and tax. These areas are complex and can change. Nothing on Actors.ie is legal, financial, immigration or professional representation advice.
Where topics like unions, work rules or visas are mentioned, treat that as a starting point only. Always refer to:
- Official government websites
- Performers' unions or guilds
- Qualified legal or tax professionals
before making decisions that affect your work or residency.
