Would you be interested in studying acting as a small group together? anyone willing to commit 40-50 hours and share resources as we keep each other accountable? Message me!
There are a lot of productions that don't require any vaccination or covid tests at all. Especially lower-budget ones. To be honest, I've mostly been paranoid and shy'ed away from the ones that dont require any covid testing. Then at times, for the right project I went in blindly, knowing there wasn't any testing. With omnicrom on the rise, I dont know how to feel. Maybe 80% dont do it, and a 20% for the right role. It's messed up but its how I feel. I take the disease and pandemic seriously, but the odd nomadic actor mindset of trying to get roles can sometimes get the best of me.
I've just recently started submitted myself to roles on actor's access along with the ones my agent already submits me for. If I were to book one of these roles I was wondering when/how is typically the best way to get your agent involved? My agent is really great, she doesn't take commission on roles I book myself, but I would be more than happy to bring her in and give 10% if she's able to help with the communication/negotiating of the role. So, is this a common thing to do? And what would be the best way to do this? Is it as simple as just emailing her and saying I booked a role and would like to have her involved? Thanks!
I’m sorry I didn’t know how to word this question. But to the point I was having a discussion with my friend about the last of us live action adaption coming to HBO MAX and he brought up that they should have used the actors from the game to make it more authentic . The best rebuttal I could give him is it’s just not the same type of acting . What is more in depth answer ?
Which podcast of Audrey should I watch, I mean there are like hundreds of episodes and I haven't watched any can you reccomend me any podcast ai should start with? Thanks in advance.
I know nothing about acting: on-screen or voice acting. Watching behind the scenes of voice actors doing "dubbing", was amazed how much effort and expression they put. So this thought occured to me, "if a voice actors is basically acting behind the scenes while dubbing, could they be good on screen/stage also?". There might be lots of other skills or factors involved, wondering if the transition from voice actor to onscreen could be easier?
Newcomer here! Just got my first commercial demo on tape and will be working towards getting my animation one done next. Curious of some of the pitfalls or hard earned lessons from any vets in the industry. For context - I'm a professional film/theatre actor with over a decade of experience, but am extremely green when it comes to VA work. Looking for some advice to help em dodge some of the early trip-ups. <3
I'm often conscious of directing actors in the best possible way - i.e. giving them just the right prompts to nudge them in the right direction, without seeming like I'm holding their hand throughout. As a non-actor myself, I'm curious to know if there's anything particular I should do or avoid in this regard. Is there a director / directing method you have come across that just clicks and helps you get where you need to be? And any that just make you roll your eyes? Thanks in advance :-)
I’m gonna get straight to the point. I have a passion for film/acting. As an actor, I personally believe that my abilities could get me very, very far in the future. Like, really far. However, if I do not get far, I can’t see myself doing anything else with my life. My ultimate goal is to play Nova in the MCU (Childhood thing) and if I do not I will consider myself a complete and utter failure. Of course I believe that it is possible, I just feel as if it’s a race against time to earn credibility, considering I have never been in a film/tv show before. It’s simply because I do not know what to do. I’m beginning to worry myself sick about this, I NEED to start trying to get roles, yet I don’t know where to start. It’s on my mind practically everyday, the only lesson in sixth form that I can focus on is drama. Please help.
If you want to become a succesful actor, what I mean. I mean in my eyes, me being born in eastern european country, I have so much less chance at doing what I love, earning enough from it and actually becoming recognised here than someone born in USA, UK, France, Germany, South Korea, Japan and such. (especially USA and UK cause they're english speaking countries). I don't know, I just find myself being discouraged because of it and really jealous of those people a lot of times. Sometimes I feel like giving up. It's enough that my mom has to constantly remind me of it. Just being born in a poor country reduces my chances by a LOT. Oh and the last name - I dont wanna stick with it but changing it feels like im betraying my family for some reason
People can now produce a cartoon from their bedroom using a computer and tools like Adobe Illustrator and After Effects. They can also produce the music for it on their computer, too. And with a homemade vocal booth and a good mic, they can also voice the characters, with maybe a little help from a sister or wife. So it is totally possible for someone with no budget to produce a cartoon on their own, at home, and produce a quality product. When is comes to voicing the cartoon characters, up until recently, it would be OK for this person to voice many or all of the characters. However, in recent times, this has become an issue. Popular opinion is moving in the direction of cartoon characters being represented by actors that match the gender, race, and geographical region of the character (think Hank Azaria dropping out of playing Apu in The Simpsons). This poses a problem for the home-based DIY cartoon creator. Because now, they would have to find an actor who fills all the check boxes, and who is talented and reliable, with no budget. It is hard enough to find a talented and RELIABLE actor even with some money to offer, but for free? I think not. And on a side yet related note, where does this stop? If a white person has trained himself/herself in numerous accents (as many voice actors do), would it be OK or not OK for an American to do an English or Australian accent? Just curious what others think about this. And btw, I bring this subject up because I was one of those home-based DIY people, and I gave it up because I did not want to be the target of cancel culture.
Hello! As stated earlier, I got my first role in a comic dub. I’m playing the role of Momo Yaoyorozu, and I was wondering if you had any tips for me, maybe how to speak clearly and maintain a voice, or if ‘preserving’ your voice by not talking really does anything, or any form of tips! Thank you <3
Never in my life have I ever felt so boring and useless!! I may need to sign up for a few things so I can check off the list!
So I’m at work this morning, it’s 5am and this lady walks in being loud. Then she’s asking how much longer for her drink I say less than 2 minutes. Then she starts saying “Yeah I’m just in a rush for this film I’m in, just heading to set” and I was like oh cool, I didn’t wanna ask much cuz it was so early and she was in a rush. She then says “I heard that guy said he didn’t recognize you, I’m sure people never recognize me. It happens often with the mask” Is this how all smaller actors act? Am I hating? Kinda but also why did she feel the need to say all that.
Here’s a fun question for you guys. Other than the obvious (winning an award, booking a lead role in a feature/regular on a tv show), what are some of your actor dream goals? Having myself just check one off (face scanned and PCAPed as a main NPC in a major video game), I also want to have an action figure made of me and be a canonical character in the Star Wars franchise. I’d love to hear your guy’s checklist!
Is there a point in getting an acting degree? I want to be an actress but my family think itd be best if I got a degree in another course as a backdrop. But will i be wasting my time or would it be wise?
Hi, the tittle must’ve pretty much summed up the situation for you, in case it hasn’t then let me elaborate. I’m an 18year old male and I’m 173.5cm, which is a pretty average, if not above avg, height in india, might be small for the us/uk avg. The bollywood industry is pretty nepotistic and mostly allows the star kids w irrespective of their talen, hight or stature due to their parents’ connections but i have heard from relatives and friends that in order to be a star you NEED to be tall or at the v least be 5’10 and since I’m 2inches shorter, can i make it? What kinda issues will i face? How important is it to be tall in this industry??? And no I don’t want any sugar-coated-oh-appearance-doesn’t-matter-talent-does type answers, I want the real brutal truth in order to prepare myself, also if you have any solutions then please list them too. I really apologise if i come across as rude but I really want the brutal truth because i really wanna make it as an actor. Also, pls tell me how can i get on this industry cause my plan is to learn acting from an acting school this year and then join theatre whilst simultaneously giving audition. Is this okay? Sorry for the big post I’m really clueles. Thankyou.
I have a personal (i.e. non-commercial) project I am working on that requires 3 female voice actors to represent 3 speaking roles in a script. I will provide the script, and you will just record all the lines of the character you are assigned to to a high quality WAV or MP3. Probably in the range of 5-7 minutes of lines total. It's a comedy project so it will probably require you to use some strange and also off-color (but not racist/homophobic/etc) language. Hoping to hear character and energy in your delivery. Again, looking for 3 people, and will pay each $25 through Venmo for your efforts. Please send me a link to either past voice work, or some way I can hear your speaking voice. Thanks!
hey! voice acting has been a passion of mine for a very long time now and one day im hoping to become a voice actor. im self taught for now but im looking to get a coach in my region soon, hopefully. with that being said i like to practice on several characters from time to time, and up until now theyve always been female characters but yesterday i decided to try and do a male character and it did not quite work out the way i wanted it to. the character is known to be very girly so i thought it wouldnt be all that hard to simply try to roughen up my voice a bit and do it but turns out its not that simple. ( not like i expected it to, voice acting is not a simple thing altogether ) my voice still sounded too girly for him and i was wondering if you guys have any tips/advices on how to voice guys? what are things i should be paying attention to while doing it and how could i improve my voice pitch in order to make it sound more masculine ?
I'm in need of an actress who can perform with a mexican accent to voice X-23 on my nonprofit youtube channel. My channel is called DHVO Dubs for Peace where multiple actors and musicians collab with me on charity-based projects. I currently have 20K subscribers and hope to continue growing. If interested, please leave a comment or shoot me a message. ​ https://preview.redd.it/wgpgp4rejbd81.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=66f8ba74105c5fcce72d1b98b3275c81a9dda683
I'm 26 years old (woman). At this point in life, I have no real hobbies, no talents, no skills. I'm stuck in a soul sucking job that I hate, but pays the bills. While I was watching a show on hulu the other day, I noticed something about my thought process during the rare times I'm watching shows or movies. I'm drawn to the acting itself; "How did they make that scene?" "That scene looks like it was a lot of fun to shoot!" "I wonder how many hours it took to get that exactly right?" So I wondered, maybe I should give it a shot because *why not?* However, I have absolutely no experience in any sort of acting. I didn't even take the drama class at my high school (small town school and the fear of humility from having to possibly kiss someone "gross" kept me from it). I figure best course of action is to secure some background actor roles, but is there a way to test the waters and see if acting is the right path without getting in too deep? I live about 100mi from Hollywood with the ability to commute a few times if I need to. I know I'll never be an A-list actress or even B-list for that matter. If I could just make 40-50k/year, I'd be content. Maybe that's an unrealistic goal? Any advice for an introvert who's peeking out of her hermit shell?
Hi! I graduated college in May 2021 with a music degree and jumped into teaching full time to pay bills. I have always wanted to act professionally. Throughout school, I was in plays and musicals from 2nd grade up until COVID shut my show down in March 2020. Unfortunately, I haven’t had the opportunity to train as an actor, or get professional headshots. Is it impossible to jump into auditioning professionally now at 23? I feel so behind other actors my age who went to college for this or have professional credits already. What do I put on a resume when all my credits are from educational theatre and my most recent show was Fall 2019?
As an actor with ADHD, even having social media apps downloaded makes me spiral into wasting time and obsessively checking for likes and comments. I deleted the apps and stopped updating my accounts about 7 months ago, which has been so great for me! As I’m preparing to peruse acting in earnest, many people in the community around me talk about how important it is to be a content creator and post regularly. How much stock do casting directors really put in a potential hire’s social media? Do follower numbers really count? Ideally, I wouldn’t be present on social media at all and still have a successful career. Thoughts?
Hello! I’m looking for recommendations of theatres that pay and provide housing for out of town actors, whether it be summer stock or year long contracts. I’m non union looking for an equity theatre, preferably in the northeast!
One of my good friends is an actress, and the series she was on happened to blow up. She is now pretty famous, and it seems awful. I’m not sure how she feels, but I genuinely hope she’s not unhappy! Hanging out w/ her after she’s blown up made me realize how much I would personally hate to be famous, though… The thought of the possibility (which is 0.00001) terrifies me enough to feel weird about acting. Ofc I’m not gonna stop bc it’s my passion, but I feel weird as many of my peers want this and think it’s the ultimate byproduct of an acting career. I see their point, and I want every opportunity possible as an actress, but being famous would cause me extreme distress. Anyone else relate? Just curious I guess.
Hi, I looked through this sub and realized it's not particularly active, but perhaps some of you who are around can help me out a little. I'm just gathering as many opinions on this as I can from both the people I know IRL and perhaps some experienced actors here. I'll try to keep this as short as I can. I come from a family of 2 generations of stage and film actors and artists, I myself am a professional pianist, and i'm at a crossroads. I'm 25 in may, and my passion towards acting has grown more and more over the past year, to the point where I feel like I want to pursue it more than I want to keep pursuing music. I took acting classes for 6 years as a little kid, when I was painfully shy and closed-up, yet now I am drastically different and I feel like I want to give it another shot. As far as I can see, I have two options. 1) try and get into a certain drama school where I have connections. They only accept actors every 2 years (this year being that year), the auditioning process is extremely selective and difficult (approx 5% get in), and lessons and rehersals take place every day, including some saturdays, from 9 in the morning til about half past 6. Plus homework. This is absolutelt NUTS, since without having at least a half time job, I don't know how I would be able to support myself. Yes, this is europe, so it's not uber expensive to study here, but on many days I would probably be eating plain maccaroni. And that is with financial help from my parents, which would be sad. 2) Keep my job as an accompanist and continue with music, and on the side, work on my acting myself, reading books, filming myself and such, then as time goes on, maybe get some personal coaching for a little bit, get my headshots and try to land auditions. I would be considerably better off financially, and I could still continue with music in the beginning, until I find out whether or not I have a chance at an acting career... at which point I will leave music behind if I truly feel like it and completely dedicate myself to acting. In your honest opinion, do you think that option no. 2 could ever work out? Because option 1 is seeming less and less likely. Would a drama school education really be so necessary? Many thanks.
Hello everyone! I am a 4th-year Psychology student at the University of Aberdeen. I am currently looking for both actors and non-actors to take part in a short study for my thesis project. If you are interested, at least 18 years old, have been studying acting for at least a year, and would like to take part – please click on the following link: https://tstbl.co/717-299 Those who have not studied acting are invited to take part as well. If you have any questions, you can get in contact with me at u02ii18@abdn.ac.uk. Thank you, your time is appreciated!
Hello everyone, I wanted to come here and ask for some advice regarding my current trajectory in regards to voice acting and ask if any of you fine folks had some advice. So I've been a voice actor in California for nearly 4 years now and I think I'm doing pretty well. Got the proper equipment, recording area, website, and reels (which can be found here if you want to take a look to help formulate a critique: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLo9U7eze1rnszwszZFvNwo5Cu8Kjq8mg3) And got a pretty good work option pool (mainly all the public access places that offer voice acting jobs, but I managed to secure some indie professional gigs) But the main thing I wanted to know if I should do things different going forward this year? Should I stop auditioning for free passion projects (as I already have more then enough examples of my voice in different genres to show off my experience) and instead focus only on paying jobs I can find? And also do you feel creating voice content on YouTube (not like what Brian Hull does, but more like what gianni matragano does) would be beneficial to helping me grow as voice actor alongside daily practicing? Just few questions I wanted to ask ( and God I hope the formating came out well from typing this on my phone) and also I'd love to hear whatever advice you think would be helpful for me at this point, because my ultimate goal isn't to get famous or rich, but rather have the opportunity to to voice act in media until I'm literally unable to do so.
I am a beginner actor and need to submit a miscast monologue for the first time. I'm male. I need a funny monologue that would make sense for male miscast. HELP PLEASE!
Hi! I am a reletively new actor--have been training for a while and have had a few jobs and done a few in person auditions and quite a few self tapes. Sometimes the scene I've been given to read will have very physical aspects to it. Ex. I am working on a selftape for a scene that includes my character running down an alley and hiding in a bush. Theres no dialogue before that so I figured I would just started out coming out of the alley and 'hiding' (miming) behind the bush. I feel like thats probably what would be expected more or less right? Theres also a part where my character is punched in the face and falls down. Should I mime this too? In general, just looking for some advice on how I should approach very physical elements (getting punched, kissing, running away from someone, etc). How do you approach props? Say character is eating a bowl of cereal? Would you use props in a self tape and just mime in an in person audition? What about something like a gun? I just want to know whats expected of a professional actor you know, so I look like I know what I'm doing. Thanks guys!
a friend of mine has at-least 2K invested in his self-tape set it. professional lights, a black backdrop, but mainly a DSLR rig which has to be cost $1.5K. It looks very professionally done, he really studied and has an amazing set-up. So much so that he has a small business where he charges actors to self-tape. Nothing crazy, like $50 but the auditions really stand out and he helps them book. I just bought an iPhone 13 Pro and I know it's not going to look at good as his DSLR rig but I hope it helps stand out. Anyone here do anything similar?
Hey all, long time lurker here in the subreddit. Im very new to the acting scene with a few days under my belt. I recently joined this meisner school with a ton of talented people and I absolutely love it. I’ve been rehearsing the repetition exercise/door activity outside of class with classmates every chance I get. For some reason on stage, my confidence just crashes and burns and I’m awkward as hell which makes the exercise harder for myself and the other person. I’ve been telling myself to have a “fuck it, who cares” attitude but it hasn’t really helped. Any tips from all you experienced/confident actors would help out a ton!
Hey! I'm a magnificent young aspiring actor (17 y/o) and I had a few smaller gigs when I was really young but then kind of fellout of acting. Any advice as to how I can get back into it? Maybe mainly advice on reels and agencies would be helpful, thanks in advance!
s it okay to put intensives/workshops you attend on your resume. Actors comedy studio is holding an audition intensive on the twenty sixth online and I am attending. I was wondering if I could put this on my resume?
I want to be a voice actor more than anything and I want to make sure that I’m at the top of my game before even thinking about making a demo. The issue is I look around and I see so many people living my dream getting their demos made and their voices are so developed and they understanding character psychology so deeply. I want to go ahead and get my demo made so I can start doing work on the shows that excite, but I honestly feel like I need more training in acting classes first. I just don’t know how long I should train for, or like what I need to learn to be good enough to make a demo. I know character archetypes are one thing to learn and playing around with my voice to see what characters I could believably play. My voice is naturally on the higher end. I’m tired of stalling. I’m taking an acting class every Wednesday and I’ll be paying for coaches when I get more money. It just irritates me that my dream feels so far out of reach... If you have a demo made how long were you in acting classes? And what did you find most helpful in your training when it came to developing your craft?
TLDR: I don’t know if I should put in effort to try again when they obviously didn’t like the first tape. Don’t really have a dire need to do this role, would like to, but I could be putting my mind an effort into better things So I’m guessing I didn’t make the first round of choices, but I’m guessing no one got picked at all, hence a re release of the role. It’s strange because I got this through my manager last December and now I got this self tape today through my agent.(same sides, same character) Would there be a reason they would want me to audition again? Did they just forget about the old tape then? Of course I will try something new, probably do a whole 180 from my original self tape, which my manager and I thought was pretty good But I’m just having a hard time grasping why they would want me to audition again, if I didn’t make it in the first round. Why again? Did they just forget? It’s not a callback either, so it’s strange Sorry for all the ranting, I just want to know a fellow actors opinion
Hi! I’ve been in acting classes since I was 17 (24f now) and I’ve been dragging my feet on actually trying to audition for things out of fear, but I finally want to go head on with it. I need to get some hedshots (spelling it wrong because this forum keeps deleting it saying I’m asking for t y pecasting opinions lol) but I have a question about hair. Recently I got my hair cut (I had hair down almost to my belly button, no layers) and I cut it to mid chest length with shaggy layers (nothing too dramatic, my hairs really thick) and got curtain bangs that go to the middle of my face. At the moment I really like this hair style and think it suits me well. But the hair stylist I went to is expensive and I’m not sure how often I’ll get it trimmed, and my hair grows really fast. How much does length matter when taking he*dshots? If my hair grows past where it’s at when the photos are taken, will they care that it’s longer? Should I wait to get the photos done until it’s grown out a bit so it’s in the middle of how short I’d cut it and how long it would get? Just want to make sure I’m not wasting money on photos that I can’t use. Second question, I’m starting back at college in February after taking a couple years off. Right now I only have 1 class 2 days a week for an hour each. I’m planning on getting a part time job within the next couple months as well. I’ve been applying to things on actors access (mainly student films to get a reel together and experience) but I’m worried about the things I see that are shooting when I’ll be in school. Also not sure about how to go around work (I’ll probably be working retail). Is there a way to do both? I know people obviously have jobs who are actors but how do you guys get shooting days off on short notice?
ive been trying to find some but when i put one in it doesn't work i still use la casting and actors access though
Has anyone used ActorsInsite before? Before I sign up I want to actually see if anyone has been seen by casting directors or talent managers like the website claims.
Tips for UK actor in 20s applying to drama school? I am looking to apply for a screen and stage course (or something similar) to help enhance my acting skills in the UK. I am seeking advice for which drama schools in which cities offer the best training for an actor with no professional background. For reference of my background, I have done amateur theatre for about 10 years total, in both youth theatre and later in university societies. Thanks in advance!

I've been suffering with moderate acne for about 2 years now, and I am currently under treatment for it. I've always wanted to try acting and maybe gain minor roles here and there, but as a girl in her teens dealing with good ol' puberty, I'm worried that my acne will prevent me from receiving roles, since most - actors I've seen have "flawless" skin - something I can only *dream* of. However, I am wondering if it is possible for someone like me to still be able to receive an acting role? Edit: I'm probably getting ahead of myself, but how would I present myself in a headshot? Would I cover them, or not?
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.
I asked this question in another acting subreddit, but I'd also like to see what you all have to say if that's alright. So, let me get into it. I've been studying the creative field for most of my life. I've been writing for 12 years, and in high school I pursued Art, Design, and Visual Communication for 2 years (went to a separate institution during my normal school day for it.) The only thing I haven't tried or studied before is voice acting, but I really want to try it. All my normal studies involve studying fictional worlds and characters. I aim to understand those characters like they're real people so I may properly portray them in my work and studies. Recently, I've had a thought, "What if I take that deep understanding, and translate it into voice instead?". I really want to try this, and explore this other area of creative work I haven't touched before. I even plan to go back to college to study it for real. But the thing is, I'm really nervous, and I'm not sure if I should take a shot. I tend to freeze up and get embarrassed when trying to act around other people. So, in your opinion, what makes a voice actor good? And with what I told you, does it sound like a field I'm worthy to look into? What qualities do voice actors have that make them perfect for this kind of creative job? All that stuff. Thanks for reading, and any responses. I'll be sure to answer everyone's comments, and give further insight on my creatives experiences if needed.

Hi everyone! Thank you for taking the time to read my post, any advice is greatly appreciated. Voice acting has been an interest of mine for as long as I can remember and it’s something I’ve always really enjoyed. Recently, after feedback from friends and family, I’ve taken the plunge and invested in a home recording studio. I’m fully aware that I need a voice acting teacher. (If anyone knows of any voice coaches based in London please do lmk). BUT, my question is … Where do I find the jobs? A bit of research has led me to think that my options are casting call club, backstage and audiobook narrating … am I missing anything? I want to make sure that I’m utilising all platforms as I’m just starting out. Also, is it the same process for a voice actor as it is an actor? That eventually I’ll create a portfolio showcasing my strongest work and send it out to voice acting agents? P.s. I am an actress with experience in both stage and screen, I am taking frequent acting classes, lessons, workshops etc. However, I’m really excited for this new venture, I think it’s a super fun craft and I’m so keen to learn all about it!
mainly like gotham with young bruce wayne or the kids in stranger things i always wondered how they got their role in that and if they wanted to themselves or their parents led them down that path?
Has anyone ever accepted a stand-by background performer position before? Is it worth just taking it to get paid anyway since you’ve booked off the days or is it a waste of time? Is it different from being a BG and would it hurt your credibility as an actor? Would like any/all thoughts!
I have a few shorts/sketches that I would like to film in the coming month. I will be in an area I’m new to and don’t know many actors. I want to pay the actors but SOME of the roles are not lead roles.. not background characters but mostly secondary characters. So I want to make it worth their time by paying them but also stay within my budget. I want them to have experience of course but they don’t need to be absolute pros. Improvisers have always been great to work with in my experience. Where would you look to cast from?
Weeee, you found me!
I'm your buddy Bottie, I was hiding behind the scenes, but now that you've found me I'd be happy to tell you what I'm doing.
I just wrote a few fun facts about Web For Actors
