What’s the perfect present for the actor or actress in your life?
Here are 11 gift ideas sure to please!
Tickets
No one appreciates a good show more than a fellow actor. Why not give movie tickets or season tickets to the theater?
Courses
Actors are constantly working on improving their craft. There are all kinds of acting courses and workshops found locally and online that you can purchase for yourself or as a gift. “The Spokesmodel Academy,” for example, is an online class for actors to learn how to appear as a polished spokesperson for companies and brands on TV and online videos. (We’re partial to this one, and it’s on sale right now for Black Friday!)
Video & Audio Gear
Self-taping auditions are becoming more and more common. Actors stand out when they have superior lighting and audio quality in their audition videos. Consider a DSLR with video recording capabilities, a tripod, microphone, light kit, and backdrops to create a pretty legit home studio. Or, if want to keep it simple and maybe a phone tripod or phone microphone would be the perfect present. If your actor is an aspiring voice actor, audio equipment could be an excellent gift too.
Home Teleprompter
When auditioning or shooting a spokesmodel video or home audition, it’s always a relief when you don’t have to memorize. This mini teleprompter works with a DSLR camera and a smart phone. (And if you or your gift recipient is new to using a teleprompter, here is a free teleprompter training cheat sheet.)
Swag
Do any of these remind you of your actor friend? Shirts, mugs, pillows, keychains…
The Belt Box
If your actor is also a singer, this little gadget is great for warming up their voice or rehearsing. The Belt Box is “the first portable vocal dampener for singers.” You sing into the mask and it muffles the sound so others can’t hear it.
Throat Coat
This might make an interesting little stocking stuffer. When it’s time to perform, actors and actresses have to have their voice performing at peak performance. Throat Coat is a drink that keeps the throat and vocal cords moist and healthy.
Printer
Actors appreciate this – it’s so much easier to print resumes and scripts from home!
Travel Makeup Kit
A makeup kit is the perfect gift for actresses on-the-go, heading to auditions and shoots.

You can’t go wrong with a gift card to Amazon or iTunes!
