So I found an agent who is legit and finds actors casting opportunities. In order to get represented by them you first must have 4 professional credits in either TV or film. My question is, how do I get a professional credit without having an agent?
What it says on the tin. I’d like to subscribe to Backstage so I can start auditioning, or at least applying, to roles that give me more professional credits and eventually start moving me towards qualifying for the unions. The problem is: I don’t have a reel yet. Most of my work was done in theatre in another state. I’m auditioning for student films but I’ve heard those are hit and miss when it comes to building your reel. Should I subscribe anyways and apply to roles even without a reel? Should I pay for a reel service? Should I just wait it out? Thanks for your help guys!
Hello all; my family is going to be moving to a suburb just outside NYC in 6 months, and for a variety of reasons (student loans suck), I'm heavily leaning towards going with them. My Mom has said I can come with them, no rent or grocery payments necessary. I'm never been one to loaf around, so I don't plan on staying with them longer than 2 years or at least helping to pay the bills after that time. That said, I (22M) feel like this could be a great way to start a new life after recently graduating from college, and a wonderful environment to start the acting career I've always wanted to commit to, but never had the resources. In the meantime, however, I am still living in Chicago, and I began looking into acting courses with Actor's Studio Chicago. With the move incoming, however, is it still worth it to look into acting courses in one city, if I'm planning to move to another one and continue there? ​ TL;DR: Moving to NYC in 6 months, wondering if taking acting courses in Chicago in the meantime is worth it?
Hello, I am a 23 years old recent graduate, majored in playwriting and film studies, thinking about pursuing an acting career. I have been acting throughout highschool and college in student theaters and student film productions. I have been a writer, director, designer and actor and eventually realize that acting is my passion. However, while I have received some relevant acting training, I feel like I still lack a solid foundation. I am not a native English speaker. Even though I can speak English fluently, I think I need more technical training to be able to go pro. Currently I am struggling to to choose between conservatory, MFA or taking part time classes to better my skills and chances of involving in the industry. I have considered pros and cons for all of them: 1. conservatory - pro: solid hands on training, easier to get in, industry connection. con: a bit pricey, two years of my life gone, doesn't offer me a degree 2. MFA - pro: offers a degree which will allow me to teach, industry connection, good training. con: pricey as well, harder to get in because of my lack of extensive training, three years of my life gone 3. Part time acting classes - pro: more affordable, allow me to still produce my own projects on the side, no pre req to get in. con: doesn't provide as solid, cohesive training, lacks industry connection, possibly a scam. So I would like to ask all the fellow working actors, what is the best choice for me at the moment? Thank you.
Let's have a serious chat. As I keep diving deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole of Voice Acting full time, working with trainers, and getting work I am starting to see the fatal flaw as to why most people who want this so badly are not getting work. It comes down to this, when you submit for a role... are you showing yourself as a professional or someone who loves voice acting and dreams of getting into it? When I was first reaching out to others, and be honest... does this sound like you, I would say things like "I'm very passionate" "I'm a professional" "I am dreaming of this or I just need a shot I know I can do an amazing job.". If this is what any of you are saying... stop it. This is limiting your reach because it doesn't say anything about your ability. When you reach out you need to be honest with yourself and with whomever you're talking to. Everyone understands that it's a dream of yours to be an actor, we can tell if your a professional from your demo/samples, and you cannot do every type of voice and that's **OKAY**. I've spent **HOURS** tweaking different cover letters and trying to find out what agents and casting directors are looking to hear and it comes down to this: 1. Do you have training? 2. What are your typical role types? 3. What is your voice like? (Age range, Comfortable tonal range, Best emotional tones, etc) 4. Provide samples of those types and range. 5. Thank them for their consideration and say goodbye. Acting in general for us is **So emotional,** but on the other side it isn't. It is analytical and calculated... because it's a business. Listen, most of these people have spent **years or tens of thousands if not millions of dollars** to make this project off the ground. They simply do not have the time, or risk tolerance, to have someone mess it up bye coming off as a dreamer and not a professional who can accomplish the job. It's absolutely okay to have this as a dream, to have this be something that you've wanted to do since you were a child, to have this be something that you will give up everything to do... but don't tell that to a casting agent or an agency that you're reaching out to on your initial contact because all they need to know is: 1. Are you good? 2. Are you training? 3. Can I sell your voice? That is **ALL** that they need to know. If you get the role you can tell them your story when you have the job... but an audition is very much so like a job interview. I don't want to keep ranting but this is a change that if you internalize and put into practice you'll honestly be surprise at how many people begin to actually take you seriously as an artist. I hope that this helps some of you out there, happy Friday, and let's get some more work! Jaythava, Signing off.
Hello, fellow actors! For my acting class, I need to find a short play for me and my two classmates to do. The three of us are men (late teens/early 20's), but we can swing the gender if it's not a given in the script that one of us has to be female. Two of us need lead roles, and one of us needs a minor role (even 3-4 lines would be perfect). If you know of a play like this, or know of some good resources for me to find my own, please let me know! I'd greatly appreciate it.

As the title says, I suffer extreme anxiety during auditions, I basically tense up and stutter so it ruins my whole performance. It’s a struggle because I know most people feel some level of anxiety and nervousness but for me it actually affects the way I act. Basically making me look like a terrible actor because I’m focusing on breathing and can’t deliver my lines. Anyone have similar experiences? How do you handle it?
Hi ya’ll. I guess I like to move. I was in NYC for acting school prior to COVID, and Atlanta during this past year. Atlanta has been okay—I’ve managed to sustain myself barely on doing BG work, and I’ve gotten a few indie roles as well, but nothing substantial at all. LOTS of proof of concepts, which gets me paid, but you know… Anyway, my partner is pretty established in Philly in a non-acting field. My living expenses would go down if I moved here, and I’d be much closer to my family, but very far from my best friend (who also makes films and we love to work together). I’d also be far from the new friends I’ve made in Atlanta, but closer to my old classmates and pals from NYC. Maybe even close enough to return to my conservatory to finish out the program. Or financially secure enough to take classes in Philly. I’ve also noticed that the demographic for the indie work down here is not what I fit into—I love the representation that’s down here, but a lot of roles are specifically looking for non-white actresses. Like, on Actor’s Access there was 0 paying roles in the entire breakdown for the Northeast market where I’d fit what they’re looking for outwardly. Is the acting scene in Philly viable at all? I’m primarily versed in film, but I love theater work as well. Or should I stay put? It’s only been a year, but I guess I’m forever antsy. I feel like I haven’t done much down here that would be propelling me forward. I’ve submitted to agencies in ATL at the beginning of this year but haven’t heard anything back yet. What I’m looking for is dayplayer speaking roles on TV shows to get “real” credits for my resume, or professional theater credits. I’m not ready for LA. What do you guys think?
So I'm a 24yr old actor based in NYC. When I graduated from college in 2019 I signed out of our showcase with a fairly large boutique agency. I had difficulty adjusting to living in a new city with the pressure of managing a part time job and 1-2 auditions a week so other than memorizing, I rarely fully prepared for my auditions (unless they were huge roles). This behavior is something I majorly regret. I never managed to book anything and in June 2020 I was dropped. Being booted from the agency packed a large punch to my confidence as an actor and paired with the lockdown I took a year long break. Last year in March I decided that it's time for me to restart my career. I took new headshots and submitted to multiple agencies. From these emails and online submissions I've gotten 0 responses which sucks major ass. I've even signed up for private meetings with agents via oneonone, and while I receive overwhelming good feedback, no agent has followed up to sign me. One even went as far to say I gave her chills during my monologue and to send her my reel footage and yadda yadda and once I did... nothing. I know I have what it takes since I've managed to book jobs on my own in this past year, and the directors I've worked with have said many praises about my acting. I'm just at a lost at what I'm doing wrong for getting resigned. I know my reel isn't as strong as it could be but at the same time it isn't awful (at least I think). For anyone who signed with an agency outside of college showcases can you please share your process, such as email templates you used and how you built your reel just starting off. (Also, if anyone has the time I would also love to have my reel reviewed to make sure this isn't what's holding me back.)
Hello! I recently booked a few commercials and I'm in the process of submitting to 15 different LA commercial agencies that I have targeted. I have a reel that I put together, with 2 commercials that I starred in. I booked another two commercials, but they haven't been released yet. I've been holding off on submitting to agents until they are released, but I don't want to wait forever (I filmed them a few months ago) . I do plan on mentioning these other two booked commercials in my cover letter. I'm currently unrepresented, and want to get the ball rolling. So my question is, would it be okay if I upload my reel on Vimeo and include a link to that in my email submission? I'd upload it on LA Casting, but it gets pricey, and once I get that new footage, I'd end up taking it down anyways and would have to re upload with the updated one, and spend more money. I have both a drama theatrical and comedy theatrical reel on my LA casting, but wanted to ask experienced actors if a Vimeo link to my commercial reel would be okay for the time being? Will they click on that? Trying to go about this as professional as possible.
Hey everyone! I wanted to share my podcast with you all. I usually either sit down with a guest to discuss acting, films and joke around. The one that I linked is one of my favorites because Jacob Lofland (Mud, Maze Runner, 12 MO) is super honest about the craft and helpful to newcomers. I also have other episodes feature other actors like Levi Dylan, Jake Austin Walker, and sometimes my wife joins in on the fun! I appreciate the support, and if anyone ever wants to come on, feel free to message me! Break a leg, and have a great weekend: [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oVLNTtMidXa1yew8pSDU4?si=ac1610a128a94f89](https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oVLNTtMidXa1yew8pSDU4?si=ac1610a128a94f89)
So I was curious if there are any good online sources for possible acting classes. I am completing a degree for English, but taking a single Theater 101 class to get some experience within the field of drama and acting. But I want to know if there are any credible sites online that give you most of the information and recommendations out there that are essential for future actors in training? If you have any suggestions, please type them down below.
Before my acting class today, a fellow actor approached me and offered to refer me to their agent out of the blue! I am extremely grateful and happy that they believe in my work and would be willing to speak on my behalf. However, I am not sure if my resume is ready. I have a plethora of theatre credits, but no tv and film, with one commercial and a decent amount of training. I just don't want to submit and then get turned down because I don't have experience in everything. What do you guys think? I have been doing theatre for a long time, but I very recently started pursuing the tv and film route which is where I ultimately want to end up, so this world is new to me Thanks :)
Hey guys! I just moved to London from Amsterdam. Due to the pandemic, I had no motivation left to take serious steps towards the acting industry. However, since I’m here, I really want to pick up acting again and tap into the acting opportunities in London. The problem is, I haven’t met people yet with the same creative interests. I have two questions basically: 1. Are there any places where I can practice and film some monologues? My flat situation is limiting me from doing those things. More importantly 2. Any actors around that want to work together on some tapes and practice together some scenes? We can give each other feedback to improve our craft. Motivation is key, let’s also add a dash of motivation and optimism in there. I’m here for a couple of months and I really want to use my time here wisely by meeting new actors, practicing, going to workshops etc. About myself: -24 year old Dutch-Turkish male -Loves Marvel movies You know what they say, team works makes the dream work. I would love to work together towards our dreams. Let’s do this!
It is someone who identifies and/or presents as female? Or would it imply sexuality as well? I've heard femme in the context of queer/lesbian women, but I've seen so many casting/audition notices using the term "femme-identifying" without any mention of lgbtq+ in the call, nor any themes related to the community. Also, no mention of lgbtq+ in the mandates and creative team bios. I'm a straight female, stereotypically feminine, for lack of a better term, so I never know whether or not I'm allowed to apply for these roles. Please, forgive my ignorance, I'm genuinely confused because I think the term is being misused, but I also don't want to commit a faux-pas, and use my "ignorance" as an excuse to apply to something that I'm not eligible for.
Ever since the majority of what we do has gone remote, i.e. classes, auditions, workshops, etc., the usual face-to-face "community" aspect of my day to day has been severely lacking, so I'd simply like to reach out to more actors to see how I can be useful. As we're doing way more remote auditions, I'm looking to serve as a reader/audition partner, provide direction/coaching if asked (not claiming to be a professional coach, just offering what I've learned over time!), or simply just chat about careers, goals, etc. I'm a New York City based SAG-AFTRA actor and am open to meeting up in person or working via Zoom/Google Meet/Skype/etc. For me, it's really about keeping active and keeping the muscles sharp as I learn so much from watching others work, so please feel free to reach out, as I definitely would love to connect with other actors from all walks. If you want to review my materials and such, website, reel, etc., lemme know. Thanks and best wishes!
I am specifically looking for a female to work on this project with as the role requires a woman . But I am also down to work together with other male actors if they have good ideas for comedy TikToks.

I'm a high school senior planning to become an international student maybe in the United States or Canada. I want to know any experiences some of you might have had with regards to being a working actor post-grad or pre-grad (if your visa allowed it). Is one country more welcoming than the other?
Use this thread to post your headshots for feedback, get info on your age range/type, find good headshot photographers, ask any questions you may have about headshots. If you are posting a DIY headshot for feedback, and not just a snapshot in order to get feedback on your age range/type/etc, it is advised that you do at least some basic research on what actor headshots look like--composition, framing, lighting. You will find a Google Image search for "actor headshots" to be very helpful for this. Non-professional shots are fine for age/typecasting; please keep in mind that one picture is a difficult way to go about this. Video of you moving and speaking would be ideal, but understandably more difficult to post. For what it's worth, the branding workshop at SAG-AFTRA recommends a five-year age range. That's inclusive, so for example 19-23, 25-29, 34-38, etc.
Hi, I’m 15 years old and I currently live in Korea.(My moms Korean and my Dads American) I basically want to be an actress in the US. I’ve been thinking about this ever since I was about 11 years old. (PS: I went to foreign school so I’m pretty fluent in English) So the thing is, I want to study abroad and go to the US so that I can get used to the culture and stuff. I’ve told my mom about this, and she thinks that it might be too early for that. So I was thinking that maybe I can go to a arts high school where I can learn acting and stuff in Korea but to be completely honest, I’m really thinking what I should do because I’m confused. To be realistic here, succeeding as an actor in general is really hard, but wouldn’t going abroad and learning acting be way more difficult? And I look asian yknow… as far as i know, they don’t pick a lot of asian actors.. But I still wanna do it. I really have the will to be an actor Or I could just start acting in Korea first, and IF I succeed, I could attempt acting in the US which probably will take a longer time.. But I’m fine with that What do you guys think? Do you think there could be a chance of succeeding? Or do you think it could work? I need advice
I'm having major fomo pls help me. I want to be an actor but also want to get a degree so that I have a backup in case acting doesn't work out. Im interested in pol sci so I wanted to do pol science honours Pls recommend some good reputed colleges which have the associated course but also a good theatre/acting club to learn and also maybe make connections.
I have always had an intense fear of public speaking. On the other hand, I’ve always wanted to get into acting. I know there are actors out there who say acting is different than getting up in front of a group of people and giving a speech. Is that true? I want to get into acting so bad and this is the only thing that’s holding me back.
Hello Reddit people, I am a new Voice Actor who wants to make decent quality Voice-Overs for Animation and Games, but honestly, I have no idea of hardware. Can any of you guys recommend a good Mic to start in the business without sounding like a person who just started? I am right now thinking about getting a Rode NT1, what do you think?
Small actress from Toronto with a few VO commercial works under my belt. I have been with my agents for almost a year now. I keep asking my agent how I can get a demo started for animation voice over and she says by getting more VO roles... What I've come to realise is that I am in a VO purgatory of needing a demo to be submitted for VO work and needing VO work to be used to make a demo. I don't know if the VO buidness is slow in Toronto or I'm not being submitted for everything because I am non union, but I really want to focus on voice over work for commercials and animation because it's always been my dream. Any advice?
i’m gonna be joining this theatre club in a couple of weeks - i’ve had the idea in my mind for a while but i’ve never went through with it. i’ve been addicted to marijuana for the past 6 months and it kinda f’d up my whole flow ig. for context i’m 17 and still in college, i guess i’m just trying to get my life back on track with something that i always wanted to do. i remember the last time i was involved with acting and drama was when i was 12, failed the class and completely froze up on stage and couldn’t remember any of my lines; made a fool of myself really - it also really hurt since i really wanted to be an actor. i’ve been reading a couple of acting books to prepare myself for it, i’m really not sure how useful that is but it can’t hurt right? Larry Moss’s book was super interesting, the Mesiner book was
I’ve only worked as deck crew in shows so I don’t really see actors and stage managers interact.
because of my frustration with how long acting its taking to "happen" for me, i've since found a passion in filmmaking / producing and am pursuing work in that area to actually be able to have some kind of career, and not have to wait tables anymore. i've basically landed an interview for an agent assistant position at a pretty legit agency, i think it's actually for the president of the agency or one of the presidents. I'm hoping to dive head first and use it is a gateway to something more producing-specific after putting 1 - 1 1/2 years into the desk, like working in development somewhere / on a team of producers or an executive producer's assistant, with the goal of crafting a producing career longterm. But i also think it would be an invaluable learning experience as an actor to learn more how the process works and how I could better tweak my personal acting situation, not to mention, who knows, if i play my cards right maybe somebody from this place could potentially rep me AFTER my tenure as an assistant here, if I become genuine friends with them? i just wanted to float this out there and see if anybody has done anything like this before. How did you play it? I'm also taping for a small supporting in a hallmark movie and a recurring guest star for a tyler perry show tonight, meanwhile i'm piss broke and i might not have anymore auditions til next week, or maybe ill have another 1 or 2 this week, who the actual fuck even knows anymore, I feel like this journey is making me insane.
ive used it before but mostly have been using actors access and la casting
I’m an inexperienced actor and I just joined backstage, does anyone have any tips that’ll help me score more auditions? Thank you
Hello voice actors!So basically I've found myself wanting to hire someone to do an impression of an exisiting character for a fan series I'm creating. Here's the problem, though: is that okay when it comes to copyright/trademark laws? Could I get in trouble for paying someone to immitate an existing character that I don't own rights to (for example, if I wanted to pay someone to record lines as Mickey Mouse for a Mickey Mouse fan-animation I'm making)? Advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you!!
There is a guy on YouTube named David Patrick Green and he made a video on Meryl Streep saying that she is not a great actor and perhaps the most overrated actress of this generation. If he right?? Or is he high on something??
Actor furiously stares out the window. (He had taken acid and just brutally attacked his mom). Actor sees his mom, hysterical, in the street, he comes to the doorway. Actor starts to sway. He’s uneasy on his feet. Actor sees a couple across the street on the phone with police. He runs to them and then violently tries to get inside their home, slamming his body against the door. Actor breaks down the door and goes after the man inside. Actor is shot and collapses dead on the floor. I’m so confused on how I’d do this. I looked up some self audition videos and they say to just set up horizon video on iPhone and all but I don’t know how I’d do the scene where I collapse dead lol. Can someone help me out? Do I actually bang on my apartment door to look like it? Do I act it out in air? The prompt says can be done with or without dialogue so I would just say nothing.
Does one simply *give up acting*? I've seen a lot of posts lately on social media and it's odd to me when actor friends say they are going to 'give up acting' and do something else. **I have friends that are painters, sculptors, musicians that have never written something like this.** If they decide to go off the road or their band breaks up and it's for the best and they want to pursue their corporate job more/whatever, that's great - but at parties, etc. they'd pick up a guitar and play and still create on downtime. Or paint something on the weekend for fun. If you're an artist, you're an artist. You know? Anyway I find it kind of obnoxious. I can understand if they are no longer pursuing it as a career/auditions but something feels off about quitting acting. It will always live in you. Acting is a beautiful pursuit and I feel it adds so much to us at our corporate jobs, as parents, our EQ's in life, everywhere really. Anyone else feel this way?
Hello, It's gonna be a weird question So I'm planning to "hire" some voice actors for a small video game but since I won't sell this game (it's a dreams ps4 game, I can't sell it) and that I can't afford to pay real actors I'm gonna search for also amateur aspiring voice actors. The game has a pretty serious tone and I thought that, if I made up a language in the game like Tolkien did for his universe, maybe it will decrease the amateurish sound of the actors ? (I know that amateur doesn't mean necessarily bad, but I'm taking precautions) Of course I know that, even with a made up language, you can feel emotion and to do that you need talented actors, and I'm ready to give advice to my actors to make everything sound right (from my point of view). But what you guys, as amateur / professional / voice actors, think about made up languages, is it easier for you to act in made up language, harder.. ? both.. ?
Hello friends. I am music producer and I'm currently working on the creative planning stages of a music video. I will be seeking an actress who can mime a stage performance singing my song. I have already recorded the vocals, so I do not require a singer, just someone that can perform like one. The shoot is still at least 2 months away since I need to finalize the filming location. I know about Actors Access, Casting Networks, and so on, but are there any other sites I should use to find local talent? Also for a one day shoot, what are the going rates?
i live in the southeast in a relatively small town, so maybe unlike L.A., I can't find flyers or anything advertising them. Any website-mandy, backstage, starnow, castingfrontier, actor access, nycasting-they all charge huge fees to gain access to auditions. I work for $13.00/hr. I cannot afford to pay $25.00/month for a service that might not even benefit me. What o you guys do?
Hello. It will be nice if there is someone American, Canadian or British actors are here, or someone who knows these things! I am from Ukraine. Since childhood, I have Vision problems. I am totally blind from 6 years old. In Ukraine, I could do some things. For example, my dream is become a lawyer and politician. But I have other dreams, for example, try my hand at voice acting. In Ukraine and Russia, when people find out that I am blind, they refuse to deal with me. And I remember the answer from Nickelodion Animation Studio, it is an American animation Studio: "We can try". I was in the United States and Germany. I saw that there are countries with good conditions for people with disabilities. Then I began to think seriously about my immigration. Now I am 20 years old, and I am a student of two universities. My first specialty is computer engineering, the second is law. I chose 3 countries for immigration, the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada. Many reasons for America, for example, my mother has a company in America and plans to sell on Amazon. So, I plan after receiving my bachelor degrees in Ukraine, try to get fully funded for my study, it will Juris Doctor (J.D.) in America or Master of Laws in the United Kingdom or Canada. I would like to ask your advice. I am not sure in which country I should live. I am a monarchist. It took a lot of blood for many republics. They did not even regret children! I am sure. Regardless of nationality, most people around the world do not approve of murders, moreover, killing children. What were the children of the Russian Imperial Family, who were shot? What was the guilty of Louis XVII (Louis-Charles), who died at 10 years old? These are my political views. Because of them, the United Kingdom and Canada is closer to me. But there are other factors. Climate and opportunities. In the United Kingdom, I will miss the hot summer. But in America, the best opportunities, if I want to try myself in voice acting! Isn't it? Please advise me where I should live? If I would like to be not a lawyer and politician only, but also a voice actor! I have a feature. I learn British and American pronunciations both, and I love Britain! The authors of my favorite books are British, I like British music, but I like american BlueGrass country too! Thank you in advance!

I have watched some of the films/series that she is in and checked imdb reviews, and its kind of mix. While the majority seems to like her there are some strong criticism. But because she is not that well known, there arent a lot of reviews. So, what do you think?
So, I just wanted to start off by saying that I am not sure this post has any real point to it, it is just some of my reflections. Some people may remember me as this sub's resident Esperite. A certain number of years ago I went to the Esper Studio, recently (AKA Now), was the first time I read the book since being in the program. Going through the book again with a different perspective has been an interesting experience. For one, even though I knew this somewhere in my head, like 60%, is devoted to what is really the first few months of the program. The first few months up to the first scene in the program is such a blur in my mind it was hard for me to remember just how much of an impact this had on me until I thought about it again while re-reading the book. But also the book doesn't really prepare you for just how many activities you are going to need to come up with over the course of the year, and just how draining that is by itself. On that note, while there are certain activities that have remained very clear to me since they happened, reading the book both reminded me of several activities that I did, both those that worked and those that didn't work. With the benefit of hindsight, after some prodding from the book, and several years I was able to think of them in a much clearer way. Also it really reminded me just representative the characters of the book are to people in the class. While I don't recall anyone as bad as Kenny, we did have someone with those tendencies, and we did lose a few people during the year, though as far as I know this was their own choice. I think overall, the biggest realization I had from the re-reading is that the program, and by that I really mean the first year, is such a transformative experience that even if I were to do it again, it wouldn't be the same. I don't think I really appreciated that as much as I should have while I was going through it. I definitely have more thoughts, but this seems like a reasonable place to stop because I'm not sure this thread is going to go anywhere. But anyone else can share their thoughts or ask questions or whatever.
Hello friends! Actor from Germany here. I recently got invited to the LAMDA recall (for MA Classical Acting, International Students), which will be on Zoom - ugh. I'm preparing a couple of Shakespeare speeches, but would also love to include some german stuff. Specifically this one monologue that originally got me into Drama School in Germany. It's from the play "The Prince of Homburg" by Heinrich von Kleist. Now, there are translations into English, but I can't get hold of one. So I took it upon myself. And probably murdered the whole thing... Would any of you take a peek? and kindly tell me if it's utter nonsense? or if at least parts of it make some sense? That's all I'm looking for! I know it's a lot to ask - I would really appreciate it! (see speech below) For context: the title character (young officer) disobeys his orders, attacks the enemy - and wins. Despite the heroic victory, he's court-martialled and sentenced to death. He doesn't take it well... PRINCE OF HOMBURG. Oh, on the way that led me here I saw That grave being opened, by the glow of torches, That shall receive my own remains tomorrow. See, these mine eyes that look upon you Shall be with night o’ershadowed, and this bosom With murd’rous bullets shall be pierced. The balconies are ordered on the market That overlook this sorry scene, and he, Who, on life‘s summit, gazes on the future As if it were a promised land today, Shall be interred in narrow boards come morning, Leaving behind a headstone stating: he once was. Oh, but God‘s earth is beautiful to me, my friends! Let me not, beg I, ere my time has come, Descend unto those sombre shadows there! Where I have failed, may I be justly punished, But why the bullet of all things? The Prince, May he relieve me of all duties if he must, Discharge me from the army in dishonour, God! Since I have seen my grave, I want to live, I do not care for honour anymore. I will renounce all claims to happiness. My love for Natalie, please tell him that! Is all but gone. Within this sorry bosom All tenderness is vanquished. She is free, Just like the fawn upon the heath. With hand and mouth, As if I never was, she give herself away, And if it be Karl Gustaf, king of Sweden, I will commend her for it! I shall go Unto my lands and manors on the Rhine. There shall I build and there shall I dismantle Until my sweat pours. I will sow and reap, As if for wife and child, indulge alone, And when I’ve reaped, I’ll sow again, again, And chase around this life in circles, Till it sets naturally at dusk – *then* die. This life The derwish calls a journey. And a short one, If we be honest! From a brief span here On this fair earth unto a long span under. Oh, that I Could settle half-way! – Yes, I know they say A sun does shine there, too; yes, and across More blooming fields than here, I do believe it! But It is a pity that the eye does moulder That shall be witness to such wondrous sights.
Hello voice actors of reddit! I’ve done voice acting for a few years, and have decided it’s time to upgrade equipment as I’m currently building a studio in my house. One of the things I’m going to upgrade is of course my mic. I’ve been thinking about getting the Røde NT1 or Røde NT1-A. My voice is extremely deep, so I was wondering if there’s anyone else out there with this mic who would like to give their opinion. Or if you have any other mic recommendations, please tell me!!
I’ve been in VO for 10+ years but this would be my first time working in AI. I have all the normal concerns about usage and licensing and compensation, which they assure me are addressed, but most of the professional community I’ve seen still seems to be wary, and that only amateurs are doing this right now because they don’t understand their value or how much they’re being taken advantage of, similar to Fiverr and other race-to-the-bottom sites. That said, I’m sure this is the future of at least *some* of the VO marketplace, and I don’t want to miss out on genuine opportunities. Any VO pros worked in AI before and/or have tips on what to ask about and clarify during this meeting? They seem legit, but I’m still cautious. I’m not sure how this discussion will go, so I’m not mentioning the company by name in case that breaks a rule.
I have been trying to build up my reel and have just been offered a role in a feature. Unfortunately it is in a city 4 hours away from me and would be unpaid for 8 days of filming. Because I work part time at my day job it is my main source of income I can’t justify accepting the role unpaid because I can’t afford to not work. But it would also help me with my reel and experience as an actor. Any thoughts?
It was just confirmed for Season 3 and they have done open calls/hired actors with no previous experience. The show has a lot of relatable trauma for me. I can act reasonably well for someone with no professional experience (besides school plays or projects), and cry on cue, I live in Los Angeles and am a female aged 18 years old.
I don’t know if anyone here will know the answer to this but, I might start taking beta blockers for my anxiety due to the physical symptoms my anxiety causes. Do any actors who are currently on this medication think that it may have a negative impact on your performance in any way? This is my biggest fear with starting the medication.
Hi so I'm an seventeen year old actress! I have been acting since 2009! Recently over the years since 2018 I've been training for film and t.v acting. I reached out to agents and managers all summer 2020 and 2021, with no luck. I have recently sent out new materials, and gotten little to no replies. All of the replies I have, states "you are not a fit for my roaster". I'm in Michigan which could be an affect, but I am able to travel. I'm just looking for the right manager and agent! So I guess I'm asking any tips? Any agents or managers you recommend? I dropped my IMDB and a self tape if anyone would like to check it out! I would love to here your thoughts! ***SELF TAPE!!!*** [https://vimeo.com/672111482](https://vimeo.com/672111482) [***imdb.me/keziahsmith***](http://imdb.me/keziahsmith) [https://resumes.actorsaccess.com/Keziahsmith](https://resumes.actorsaccess.com/Keziahsmith)
