Hello. I just spent some time looking for older voice over artists and mostly I just saw young adults doing gimmicky grandpa voices. Not helpful
Hey all! I have recently been accepted by Drama Studio London for their Master’s course in professional acting. They will hold a place for me until March 4th, so I am advised to respond to my offer by then. However, I have also applied to other drama schools in London that have yet to concretely accept or reject me. I passed my stage one ALRA audition, but the stage two audition will likely take place after March 4th. I have also sent in my first round of self-tapes to Rose Bruford but they have yet to respond. I would greatly appreciate any advice on whether or not I should accept my Drama Studio London offer. The institutions I have applied to are all part of the Federation of Drama Schools in the UK, but are any of them considered more prestigious and recognised with greater industry connections than the other? Thanks everyone and stay safe out there! P.S. I am aware that pursuing a Master’s is not always recommended, given that many actors out there have attained success without any formal training whatsoever. However, I seek to keep my options open to a career in lecturing and higher education as well, for which a Master’s degree will prove useful. (I feel it is safer having a back-up plan to at least have a source of income while auditioning, rather than simply waiting at home for a phone call that may never come)
Hello all! I've just recently started acting when I found this reddit page. Was wondering if any of you were based in the Idaho, or Boise, Idaho area? Looking to network!
Hello, I'm an actor and due to some schedule issues I cannot take acting classes at the moment. Do you know of any Youtube channels or books that would be helpful in continue to practice my craft? Thank you guys
I notice that a lot of voice actors just by following their social media accounts are left leaning. Not saying it's a bad thing. We can all have our own opinions and I am aware that the entertainment industry is mostly left leaning. But you tend to find a couple of conservative leaning entertainers here and there. So I was wondering if the same is true for voice actors. The only one that pops in my head is Jim Cummings who mostly keeps to himself and doesn't seem to have a problem with his fellow voice actors. But it did make me wonder if there's any other conservative VAs. Again I'm not bashing anyone for their political views. I'm just asking a question that I had in My head recently. That's all.
I live in CT but am trying to get work as an actress in New York. I have been submitting and have had quite a few auditions. My question is this…. Most auditions ask for locals to New York. It’s an hour train ride from me and not hard for me to get into New York. I lived there for three years and know the area well. Can I say that I am local to New York when submitting or doing my slates? Do casting directors just look past you if they see you are from another state? It’s not like I am far, but my ID says CT. HELP!
Hello there, I’m a 30 year old guy who was just in Los Angeles for 3 years, with one of my main aspirations being acting. I’m also a musician and love writing songs and singing passionately. I ultimately left Los Angeles and sadly decided I can not handle being an actor even though I would love to express myself that way. Right now I’m just trying to see if there is any way someone like me could succeed. I have hypersensitivity. For me that makes it so new environments, sounds, and people’s energies can really effect me. It can take me maybe 4-5 sessions before I’ve acclimated to an acting class, usually needing to take lorazepam the first few times. I was a full time background actor for 6 months in LA. I barely pulled that off. I think I very often looked uncomfortable and was fortunate that the camera didn’t get close to me most of the time because I would not have pulled it off. While I was a background actor, sometimes they’d give us an hour or two to stand around in the scene while they tweaked the lights and the camera. That at least gave me some time to get used to the environment and feel more comfortable. Then I’d see how they’d bring in the main actors. The actors would just appear at the very end of set up, do their scene, and then move on. Every time I saw that, I thought “there’s no way I could just walk into that without being so uncomfortable and overstimulated that I could do what they’re doing.” I’d want at least half an hour to get used to all the lights and people and everything going on. So what do you guys think? Is there a way for someone like me to succeed as an actor? And a couple other points— hypersensitivity is a lifelong condition, it is not the same thing as being shy. Secondly, I’m looking at a bizarre medication named Nardil that may help me, any success with that?
Hey all! I’m an early twenties career actor and I’m mainly stage. My film credits are fine, nothing special. I have a really substantial theater resume, leads, supportings etc. I feel confident about my audition skills, I know I’m good to work with in the room. I feel really confident in my abilities. My goal for the next months/this year is to get representation. I’ve been doing just fine without it, but it’s time. I’ve been browsing and taking classes at One On One/Actors Connect with CD’s and agents. And just feeling like I’m spending money and not getting anything. Should I just keep putting my best foot forward? Or try a new route?
Hello! Right now I’m an assistant to a talent agent, it’s going on a year and it’s been great. They’re really great people. I’ve always wanted to work in the industry and this fell into my lap. The problem is, I’m starting to hate it? I’m getting this feeling of FOMO and I just want to get into acting which is realistically what I’ve always wanted. I’m feeling a little stuck here because I don’t want to burn any bridges or anything like that. I’m also just getting very bored with the job, and being an agent I don’t think interests me the longer I stay. I’d love some thoughts. Maybe people that could have been in the same position? I just feel super stuck n lost, and it’s not that this job is bad… it’s just not for me.
I’m done with the pessimism. I have a lot of talent and I’d like to be able to say I at least really tried to go for it. But it’s been so long and the world has changed in a lot of ways that I don’t even know where to begin or if I even should
Forgive all the exposition, but just trying to get everyone up to speed so you know if/why this will be helpful to you. Hey all, I've mentioned in a previous post that I freelance as a script adapter/ADR writer. For the uninitiated, this is the process by which a translated file for a foreign (i.e., non-English, in my case) show or movie gets adapted into the script the dubbing actors record off of (I give characters their own unique speaking styles, and make sure the language sounds natural). There are plenty of dubbing projects these days where the actor is given a printed script and has to dart their eyes between the script and the video in order to match sync, but there are also tons of dubbing projects run off of a software called VoiceQ. With VoiceQ, instead of looking between the script and the video, the script is *on* the video, scrolling by. As the words reach a center point, that's when you're supposed to say them. It's basically karaoke. This is a paid-only software usually, but VQ just released a bunch of cool stuff, including free licenses for the actor version for the next year. If you want to practice dubbing or voice matching, this is a great resource for you. You'll need a video, and need to import a script or manually write it into VQ yourself, but the program is awesome. I hope this helps!

Hey everyone, I apologize if I'm being unprofessional here but I'm not exactly sure where to look for voice actors so I would like to start my search here. Me and my team are currently working on our big open world medieval/fantasy game called "The Monarch" and we are looking for voice actors that would suit the characters in the game. If anyone is interested, please contact me and we can do a small interview to see if you would suit us perfectly :)
I have been an extra for the last two years. I have loved how much I have learned during this interval of time but it is time to go for bigger roles. In spite of the depressive state I have been in since the person that taught me film passed I would love to connect and build with other NYC actors. ​ I wanna start creating short films etc to propel my career and the careers of others.
I’m sure this is a silly question, but I’m about to finish studying theater and actually put myself out there. I’ve been fortunate enough to have gotten to start young and I think I have the skills to at least make some sort of living doing it. I’ve been wanting to avoid L.A. since I don’t enjoy working with hyper-competitive or fake people. I’m really getting ahead of myself by asking this, but I guess every actor thinks about it at some point or another. Is the work worth the stress? I’d love to try my hand at more film/TV acting (while still doing stage) but if there’s no way to avoid the scumminess of the industry, I’d rather travel and do seasonal productions, etc.
I've been exposing myself in theatre in my hometown for 4 years now, learning and growing until I get my bachelor's degree at the local university (in a "safer" field unrelated to theatre). I've done almost all of it for free, as a young amateur actor. But now the head of my theatre troop offered me to lead the organization (and very likely act as well but that probably wouldn't be paid) of this big musical project, which would be a collaboration with a foreign theatre (UK). This sounds like an amazing job opportunity and I was really looking forward to it because it was supposed to happen over spring and summer, and then I will likely go to study Theatre abroad (and based on the skills I've learned, I really believe I'll get in). But recently I learnt that it's very likely going to be delayed to next year and not gonna lie, this kinda crushed my hopes. I really think this project is an incredible opportunity, especially since I've never worked on a musical before and I've always wanted to, musicals were like a gateway drug into theatre for me. But I'm really tired of my hometown and the lack of things it has to offer me. I'm not getting any younger and I want to get out there, start fresh and be on my own. Especially since I'm gay and I'm just so tired of being closeted because of my largely conservative hometown. I think it's time I broke free. But all the connections I've established here won't matter out there. On the other hand, I feel like I'll never be valued the way I deserve here and while this is an amazing opportunity, opportunities die easily here and maybe it got delayed precisely because the head of my theatre troop decided to lead the project himself after all and he delayed it to have more time (which pretty much leaves me without a job opportunity, even though I'd still very likely have an acting part). He also has a history of canceling and delaying projects, so I don't think it's worth waiting for an opportunity that might fall through anyway when I can move to a place that can offer me more opportunities. But I still want to hear some advice from more experienced people. I was going to post this in r/theatre but it won't allow me to post, don't know why, so I came here.
A few weeks ago, the company I work for decided to launch a big, new ad campaign. Through some quirk of fate, I was tapped to record the voiceovers. The ad campaign, which is mostly on YouTube, Facebook, and a little bit of specialized television (not network) has since become a rousing success. It got me thinking about pursuing VO work as a side hustle, but I'd like to do things correctly, so that's why I'm here looking for tips amongst you experienced Redditors. What is the best way to proceed? Is there anything you guys wish you knew at the outset of your VO careers? Should I look for an agent using the ad campaign as evidence of my potential hire-ability? Although I'm new to the world of VO, I've had a local (volunteer) radio show for more than 15 years. I'm located near Toronto, Ontario in Canada if that is a relevant factor.
I don't know about you guys, but I LOVE when a director tells me go smaller. I go as big as possible and let the director adjust. Been working on a film for a few days (actually on set right now) and have a director tell me go smaller is the best. It's so good cause it's easiest to go smaller. I read a lot of directors saying they have a hard time making actors go bigger, so I have been practicing getting bigger and I improv then jump in my lines before I go into scene and people seem dazzled about it. What's a compliment you love on set to hear?
What exactly is the difference between a „normal“ agent and an associate agent? When I look up some actor‘s agents on the agency’s website (UK) it says who their agent is and who their associate agent is so what’s the difference between the two? Because associate agents can also represent actors without a „normal“ agent. I hope you understand what I meant thank you in advance for answers :)

I'm an apprentice UBCP/ACTRA member and honestly that credit kind of just fell in my lap as an upgrade on set from background to actor. Until recently I haven't pursued acting, and now on top of that I have started focusing more on voice acting work. I'm curious what peoples thoughts are on the amount of work there is for Union vs. Non-Union performers in all aspects of VO. I'm tempted to drop that credit, it's not exactly doing anything for me. In my mind if I want to get into the Union, I should be able to again if I'm good enough to be there.
Hey everyone, Last month I submitted to countless agents and scored three meetings. All three agents offered me across the board representation. I'm extremely grateful but unsure of which one to sign with. Agent #1 - 600 on IMDbPro, SAG-franchised & 2 actors out of 70 are my type. Agency's been active since 2017. Agent #2 - 720 on IMDbPro, NOT SAG-franchised & 20 actors out of 100 are my type. Agency's been active since 2018. Agent #3 - 880 on IMDbPro, SAG-franchised & 1 actor out of 100 are my type. Agency's been around since 2009. I don't feel I should choose #2 because they're not SAG-franchised and 20 actors are my type. I feel I should choose #3 because only 1 actor is my type and he has a few actors who have an IMDbPro rating below 20k. Also, he's been around the longest compared to the first two & I really enjoyed our meeting and feel he understands me. What do you guys think? Any tips or advice for choosing a representative? Thanks!
I’m a young voice actor, 16 but I have a pretty deep voice, if you know who corpse husband is, I have a deeper voice than him. I’ve always loved acting and especially voice acting and I want to know how to get started. If I’m missing anything here tell me.
I’m curious what others opinions would be in this… Do you think if an actor would to get a job at a studio or talent agency that they wouldn’t be able to have much of an acting career? Or do you think it may be beneficial considering you’d start to make connections with people who would potential be the ones to cast you/take you on?
A few times now, I’ve been sent self-tape instructions for what is clearly the wrong character in a film via Actors Access (e.g. today, I was called back for the role of an artsy 14 year old girl but the instructions/sides for the role of her abusive father were the only ones attached). Is there some way I can message CD’s via cMail, or do I follow the instructions for the dad, or just decline the audition, or what?
I (26M) started my journey as an actor at 19 when I took professional classes in NYC. After 7 years I got a BS (not in theater), worked in corporate, mental health, even went to a masters for PT before I left due to loss of interest. In addition I have done some professional voice over and on camera work. This weekend I walked into a CD workshop as what seemed as the only one who actually has worked a normal 9-5. The rest were theater people with packed resumes from a bunch of fancy schools. No offense I think that it's great to have a passion. But the way these people acted oof. The CD acted very high on himself that night as well. I walked out there with a realization of how beyond cringe it is. What i've been doing. Acting in itself is beautiful and takes amazing hard work. But the people in the industry are immature. They act like they're the shit and are rude af. When they've never actually done C list work. I guess maybe i've matured as a professional and witnessed the immaturity in the industry. I still have second hand embarrassment from all of them. Like two dudes out of the 20 who were there acted right and normal. After comparing it to my usual 9-5 that pays me really well I don't know if this is worth it anymore. Having to be around immature adults who act like they're still in high school. I think I might hang up my dreams of an aspiring actor and will probably consider starting a life. Kudos to the mature actors out there who act their age. I wish you the best. And to be honest to those who act like kids and are grown. Grow up you're cringe.

So yeah, I applied to a few roles on Actors Access and I was wondering how long it takes to hear back from them in regards to an audition? I got updated headshots done and I feel like I could be a good fit for them. Any advice would be good. Thanks!
Would I be okay without a car in LA?
I'm half Caucasion and half Korean, and I very much look like it. In a room full of white people, I definitely look not white, but in a room full of Koreans/Asians, I look white af. My agents and manager get me a lot of auditions for roles that are obviously for a full Korean character. IE, the character description is just "Korean and speaks fluent Korean," and then the character just speaks a bunch of Korean through the film. I don't feel like these roles are a good fit because I imagine they're looking for a very Korean-looking Korean. Like, in what world does it make sense that I, a very biracial looking Korean, am just speaking Korean all the time to English speakers? Idk, it just feels like these types of auditions are a waste of time. On the other hand, why else would casting choose my headshot to audition for the role? They have to know what I look like... soooo... (it's also possible they can't tell if they're just looking at the thumbnail). I always end up submitting a taped audition, but I'm wondering if I should start declining to audition for some of these. In the world of taped auditions, I feel like I need to be pickier because having to do three within two days is stressful af. Anyone else in the same boat? :/
Ever since the shift to self tapes has gotten more and more prominent (and lowkey permanent, especially for first rounds), CDs have been giving sides that are ridiculously long AND poorly cut. I'm not sure what happens in the background and whether their hands are tied because producers are demanding them to have actors do a particular scene but it's crazy. I've gotten sides where it's upwards of 12 pages for a FIRST ROUND. Listen, I know our job is to give in self tapes with a short turn around, but they certainly can't expect quality when they give 9 pages with less than a 72 hour turnaround. Today I had to do an audition where my character had, I kid you not, 4 monologues within 4 pages AND a time jump in the same scene. This is a union project too, in it's second season. I know this is bad writing on the writer's team, tbh, but the CD has to be able to see that and maybe cut it down no? Rant over.
My name is Tim and I am part of a product team for a class. I am looking for the freelancers, part time workers, contractors, basically those who work job to job or pay check to paycheck. Would you be willing to have a 30 minute chat with me so I can understand your experience when it comes to what do you do or think about when it comes to you money you make? If so I listed a Calendy link to some available times I have: https://calendly.com/tjkim224/call Thanks!
I've hired five voice actors from Fiverr. The first three all read each line 2 to 4 times. It was not written in their advertisements that they would do this (nor did I request it), but I was very grateful for it. However, the last two only did one take. The first person I thought was an exception to the rule but then the one I just hired did the same.
I’ve booked several commercials but only three costars and zero film. The funny thing is, it’s a catch 22: you need a reel to be seen for theatrical and you need theatrical credits for a reel. I’ve heard of actors writing and filming their own materials, but have any of you done it by chance? What was that process like? Did you hire a professional camera crew? What about wardrobe and HMU? Did you spend weeks or months scouting shooting locations?
I'm 16 and i wanna be a screen actor when i group up but my parents want me to do IT or something and do acting on the side, nida open courses work for that im just wondering how worth it those courses are. i plan to do the screen actors course. i'm also completely open to any new suggestions of any other courses or schools open to the general public and stuff :)
An honest poll of actors and aspiring actors. [View Poll](https://www.reddit.com/poll/skfmu4)
So the title says it all. I got booked for a project and it was background role and NU, but the payment would have covered my rent and most of my basic expenses for the month. I tested positive for Covid (fully vaxxed and boosted) a week and a half before the filming date. Ironically, I think it got Covid from working on another job. The production company kind of played ball with me and said if I could produce a negative PCR test it would be okay, but by the time I got back to them saying I was still waiting on the results, they already went ahead and booked someone else. I get that it's for everyone's safety and I would not be okay knowing I was around others if I was still positive, but it just kinda sucks. Them saying they already booked someone else was kind of a gut punch, especially since I haven't really worked on a project like this since last October. Just wanted a space to vent a little since other people are understanding, but unless they're in your shoes they don't truly understand everything behind it all, especially as an actor right now.
Basically booked a radio spot, got the session fee, then - nothing. Look sometimes these things don't run. But months later I had this feeling in my gut that it ran. I don't know how to describe it other than that. It was just an intuition. I used personal contacts to email the creatives at the ad agency and it turns out the spot did run and that (this is quoting their email) - the talent was not paid. Is there a late fee for this? I did it in Aug. and it ran and I just found out about it now in Feb. Yes, I will contact SAG about this but also wanted to know if you had experience with this? Sucks that so many actors don't get the residuals they deserve. Glad I did the work and used my contacts to hunt my money down.
I'm curious about how voice actor work in certain cutscenes, I've been playing Genshin Impact and also watching many anime series, there's something that bother me is there's some cutscenes where the character only said 1 line such as "Look" or "It's beautiful"... and that's it Take Genshin for example, in version 1.0, a character name Jean talk a lot about her story, but then she disappeared (because she was not involved in the story) and reappear in version 1.5, but she only said 1 line in the cutscene and done, and 1.5 is 4 months after 1.0 so, my question is, do voice actor come to the studio to record just 1 line for the scene ? or is it prerecorded ? or how does it work ? and how do voice actor get paid ? Also, in animation movies, the voice and the animation, which one come first ? thanks
If you want your acting friend to fix something, how do you tell them about it while being mindful of their feelings?
Pretty much what the titles says. I’m just curious, if LA agents even consider people who don’t live in the LA market.
Hi all, I'm currently trying to get my showreel done and I unfortunately don't know any actors who live by me, or really online. I have taken acting classes but many of the people in those classes did not keep in touch after the classes ended. Does anyone know any good resources to find people to do self-tapes with? Even if it's over zoom/Google meet. Thanks :)
Just wondering how actors starting off are able to secure such large agents. Just looking at IMDb, I see actors with no real credits signed with some of the top top agents/managers. Like, how does someone with no real credits Become signed with one of the top agents and is then cast in their basically fist role in a huge film? Like did the agents just see something in them and decide to sign? Did they just send in materials and it’s luck of the draw?
posting this here because this seems like the kind of space that would appreciate/celebrate this good news (admittedly when I told folks in person about this, they either didn't seem to care or didn't know how big of a deal was) but it feels very surreal to know that I'm part of an A-list roster of actors, writers, directors and a ton of celebrities. Never thought I'd be able to say I'm a Creative Artists Agency client but here we go

What’s up everyone? I just moved to LA from NYC and over there we had One on One and to a lesser extent Actors Connection. I don’t think these are shoe ins by any means but if I have some CDs/Agents in mind I wanna meet it could be worth the Face time. Are CDs and agents out here too busy to bother with workshops or is there an equivalent? Thanks in advance!
Starting a new series of monologues. This one is from "After the quake" by Haruki Murakami. Hope you enjoy.
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.
This post contains spoilers for the latest episode of The Book of Boba Fett on Disney+. I think many members of this community have been aware for a while now that AI programmes are beginning to be used in professional settings to synthesise voice. Famously, Duolingo use AI to synthesise voices across many languages for their language learning programmes. I’ve always managed to brush this aside somewhat. “They’ll always need actors - an AI can’t perform like an actor can, and surely that’s what voice acting is all about”. That is, until I watched the latest episode of The Book of Boba Fett. In episode 6 of thisStar Wars TV series, Mark Hamill’s Luke Skywalker returns as a deepfake, accompanied by one of the least engaging vocal performances I’ve ever encountered. Every line carried an almost Tommy Wiseau-like inflection, the tone was flat, there was little to no emotion communicated. It was genuinely bad. But, nevertheless, Disney and Star Wars, as two of the most powerful entities in entertainment, chose to use an AI rather than an actor to voice Skywalker. And people on the Star Wars subreddit were loving it. So that brings me to my question. Is there any hope for us voice actors, when studios and audiences so no value in good vocal performance?
I’ve wanted to become an actress since I was verry little.My mom tried to put me in acting classes when I was 8 but I refused because I was young and stupid.After that I tried to want a different career,but that made me want to act even more and I knew that if I did something else I would regret it. So I started taking classes again from the start of this school year (iam a senior in high school).And it turns out that I actually have talent for it too,which motivates me even more to Actually pursue it.My only problem is Money and the fact that I live in Belgium.My plan was to start here and then move to the us once I have made a name for myself,but turns out that it isn’t that easy either.I don’t come from a rich family,so I’ll have to work multiple minimum wage jobs and somehow balance it with auditions.Why?because Flemish actors are notoriously being underpaid.Belgium also has a pretty small film industry so my hopes of getting casted abroad are kind of low.And getting a visa and a green card also sounds almost impossible and I just don’t know what to do anymore.I’ve been overthinking it all for almost a month and iam hopeless.Iam kind of considering giving up and pursuing a different career,but I know I’ll just hate my life. If anyone has advice for me I’d really appreciate it because I’ve literally overthought every single option I could think of and I feel like iam going to go crazy.The fact that iam a senior in high school and that I have to pick a study next year is making this even more stressful.
