Hi so it has said that Lewis has 2 voice actors and I kinda wanna know if Jordan Fry voiced him all the way or Daniel Hansen? And also he has an adult voice actor too? But my real question is why does he have 2 for most of the film? Did they want him to sound young? Just my thought?
Someone from Scribe Audio reached out for an audition to join their voice over team and I’m a little skeptical of their payment model. It seems like a content mill for audio, but I would love to hear if anyone else has had experience with them or could shed light on whether I’m being overly cautious here. “Scribe Audio is producing audiobooks of multiple genres, both fiction and non-fiction. Our payment model is not per hour based, rather on the revenue a book generates. Payment is scalable to all the books your voice will be narrating. That is, payment will depend upon the number of audiobooks your voice is producing instead of the sales each book generates. We have a huge volume of books and each voice actor is projected to get 3000-4000 dollars per month in revenue.” My worry is that this may be a scam in order to get inexperienced voice actors to sign a contact promising a steady paycheck but demanding perhaps an unrealistic amount of audiobooks to be produced a month in order to meet that kind of income target.
Digital Spy: Schitt's Creek star Annie Murphy nearly quit acting before landing Netflix role. http://www.digitalspy.com/tv/ustv/a36878271/schitts-creek-annie-murphy-nearly-quit-acting/ It's actually not that unusual in the industry to hear stories like this, but it is worth sharing them when you do. While of course not everyone is going to get that 'big break', it's worth remembering that it can and does happen. Earlier this year, I said to my wife that I was done trying to make headway as an actor. Various factors had simply left me tired of the frustration and disappointment that affects so many actors, at so many points in their career. I had made my mind up and was ready to move in another direction and was just going to walk away. But a few days later, I got a call back from a movie that I thought I was never going to get an opportunity on. It was a small but substantial role, so I took the job, still thinking it was going to be my last. But during filming, the director and crew made me feel valued, and they appreciated my work as an actor (something other productions I've worked on just didn't do.) It was enough to encourage me to not give up, and in fact double down on my efforts to create my own opportunities as an actor. That movie will be out in a few weeks. Now I'm not saying the role itself will change my life, or that anyone in the West will even see it, but it will be a huge deal where I'm based, and that at least has the potential to improve my career prospects, if only for the fact that it reminded me that not every production has zero standards and some do value the effort you make. I know there will still be more frustration and disappointment in the future, it's part and parcel of being an actor. But if you love what you do, and value what you do, keep believing that you will get to a place where at least your work is valued and brings you joy. Personally, that's what the movie I filmed this year brought to me, and I think that's a good thing. Of course, you still need to eat and pay rent, and not everyone can be rich and famous, but if you at least have joy and satisfaction in what you do, that's a good place to start, IMHO. From my personal experience, even if you're suffering, as long as you're getting at least one meal a day, and have a roof over your head, keep pushing. Yes, it might suck, yes it might be painful, but you have to keep pushing if this is the life you want, the life you need. Double your effort, do whatever you have to do (without causing suffering to others) to get opportunities, or just do whatever you have to do to create your own! We have a saying here, to Eat Bitter, and if that's what you have to do, do it. No one will judge you if you walk away, of course, and you have to do what's right for you. But if you want to be an actor, IMHO, this IS the right thing to do. So if you make that decision, and decide this path is what you want, make it your own and just keep going. You never know when the next audition will be, or where it could lead!
I don’t have any previous experience with acting and I’m 17. Most actors have been doing it from a very young age, took classes etc. Is there any way to get into the industry with little experience at my age?
Hi everyone! I'm an aspiring voice actor, too new to actually have a proper demo reel. Instead, I used various free/public domain scripts, recorded them, and uploaded them all into a folder. If you have the time, I would really appreciate from feedback. I'll probably update it occasionally, but for now I have things recorded in English, German, Spanish, French, and Portuguese. There's a document in the folder with sources and a bit of explanation on the language/accent used. Thank you in advance!

Im the subject of a docu series chronicling actors with disabilities. Along with interviews and on location shooting (auditions, on set etc.) I’m reenacting moments from my past to be spliced together with voice over. One of these moments was the day I woke up and realized it happened. I thought I had resolved those feelings. Turns out they weren’t quite as settled as I believed. We shot several sequences - me waking up in bed, brushing my teeth - the whole morning routine, and then finishing with sitting alone knowing that I had lost my hearing. What started as kind of campy reenactment footage quickly evolved into some of the best ‘work’ I’ve ever done. Let me tell you how for the first time since losing most of my hearing I let myself feel all of the pain and anger I had been burying. With three cameras rolling I was given permission to just be - and it was undeniably cathartic. Even though it wasn’t ‘acting’ per se, it was bound by many of the rules acting places on you (blocking, eye-lines etc.) and even with those rules I was able to pull up from the shadows my hurt and show it unapologetically in all of its fire and rage in a controlled, subdued manner that was both true and laser focused. I wasn’t playing a character, I was being myself and everything I am.. and to be quite honest, this is the shit I’m here for. To show up. All of me.
I am actually talking about a TV hosting demo (and I am also an actor) but I haven’t found any hosting subreddit so I am asking this here because it can be pretty similar. In my demo, I have a good variety of different hosting gigs: scripted, vlog, interview in person, interview with a specialist on zoom, three camera live, etc. However, the quality is not very good. I am not talking about my hosting skills but how it was filmed. It doesn’t show that I was working on the most professional sets because of the low quality, but it shows that I have experience and skills. Do you think it is better to have an “okay” demo until I can find something better or is it better to show nothing at all? Thank you!
So recently I became friends with an actor I met on a short film set. He’s been giving me great exposure and has given me a great opportunity in a really unique YouTube video with lots of exposure. Would it be too much to ask him to refer me to his agency?
Does ur agent know each time you decline an audition on Actors Access?
Hi! so recently I've been to an audition (should mention this was my first audition ever) for a series and I've made it past the first round and I've got a callback for a chemistry test with some other actors and since then it's been about 2 weeks and they asked me to send some photos to see how I fit with other actors, anndddd then yet again another 2 weeks pass by and no word until the producer messages me and says that I didn't get the main role, at first I was kind of bummed out by it but not too much but now I'm realllyyy bummed out by it, and I've seen the producer post the other actors on their story and I don't recognize anyone I've been with at the chemistry test so I know they didn't get it I'm feeling really bad about myself, is it supposed to be this way? kind of curious just so I can prepare myself for the future
Hey everyone, I'm an actor in Los Angeles and I recently signed with my first theatrical agent. With episodic season approaching I want to make sure I'm absolutely prepared to receive co-star auditions and actually booking those roles. I've been in Los Angeles for the past 1.5 years and this will be the first pilot/episodic season where I am represented.. so I really want to make the absolute most of it. What can I do to ensure I receive as many co-star auditions as possible between August and November and how can I ensure I win some roles? Thanks!
hi I'm norjia and I wanted to ask what would be a fair rate for me to charge a client? I am not a professional voice actor (though I am good at narration) and I'd have to guess it would take about 4 to 5 hours of recording and editing time, depending on how much work it's gonna end up being. I'm a bit slow with regards to editing though, I do most of the processing during recording so stuff like EQ and compression as well as a noise gate are already applied when finishing the recording. it'd be for a video of at most 15 minutes in length (going off of the conversation with the client stating they were working on shortening the script to about 10 minutes) ​ I use the Rode NT-1 hooked up to the Rode AI1 and sit in a full vocal booth I had to build myself fitted out with 60mm thick Rockwool and black fabric on the inside and some hard plates on the outside. so quality in terms of audio is definitely present. the only thing I'd have to take into considerations is my pretty obvious non-English accent comprised of a mix between Dutch and German given all of these factors, what would be a fair rate? last time I got over 100$ for an hour of recording and editing which, back then I already thought was too much for a meme recording based on a niché game. ​ sorry if I sound too formal or weird in any way, I'm not used to Reddit and its community.
Hello everyone! So I need to know this because I’m most likely moving out to LA to continue my career acting, dance, and personal training. I also teach acting and dance classes so that helps too. That being said, I’d like to know how many jobs you worked initially to get your SAG card.

So, just a little backstory, I live in NYC. I have a bachelor's degree in opera performance and will be beginning a second bachelor's in accounting in the fall. My first degree is in the performance field, however, it won't lend much help to voiceover since it was primarily based on singing and languages. I know the former will definitely be of use down the road. Another thing is that it allowed me to gain a lot of confidence and comfort performing in front of people. When I return to school in the fall, I plan on using the free resources on campus to gain some acting experience. There are a few productions that my college performs throughout the semester, so I'm hopeful to learn by being surrounded by more experienced actors. In the meantime, do you have any tips? I know things are a bit weird due to the pandemic, however, here in NYC, it seems like things are nearly back to normal. Thanks!
I’m so exhausted mentally. I got an audition the other day and worked on it a lot. I then selftaped it two days ago, and didn’t get satisfied until like 25 takes later. Though, it was solid all the time, I’m just very critical and want it near perfection (yes yes I know perfection doesn’t exist). I sent it to my manager, he liked it but gave me some directions and so I retaped it the morning after (another 20-25 takes before satisfaction). But it was worth it because it turned out really good. He then gave me just a minor direction that I was confident I would get in just one take. I got home after a 14 hour work shift and was excited to film it and get it over with, but all of the sudden I was terrible. I had become a robot. The natural and organic flow that I had had previously was completely gone. After like 1 hour of trying, I gave up and went to bed. I woke up 3 hours later and tried again. This time I was, if possible, more than terrible. Every single word and life in the scene was nothing but fake. It was all bad bad acting, no real connection anymore. It took me literally three hours to finally marry that little last note he gave me with the full scene without any of it being absolutely horrible! And tbh, it was kinda by chance I even made it happen, literally thanks to the step by step directing from my poor roommate who was helping me tape it. She literally had to tell me facial expressions to make for it to look real. I couldn’t believe myself. That is not acting! But it worked out. I’ve felt like a horrible actor all day because of this. But then I look back at the first version and second version that I taped two days ago and yesterday morning, and I was actually really relaxed and truly in the moments in those takes, so I kinda feel like maybe I’m too hard on myself and maybe this kinda thing happens when you tape a scene 100 times over two days. Has this ever happened to any of you?
hi! a small management company posted on their Instagram that they were accepting extras and commercial actors to be signed. I submitted but I’m not sure if I should sign? I think they are just signing anyone, is this typical practice for extras and commercial management? Their emails are copied and pasted. They don’t ask for fees, just fees to pay for online casting websites which I believe is okay. I’ve read the contract and it looks good. However, they seem legitimate. (Howell Management) Moreover, I am also a full time student so im not sure I should sign if I have limited availability, and maybe I should wait until after studying. However, I don’t think the roles would be huge anyway since they are extra and commercial roles. This would be my first agency, so I apologise for being a little cautious. Thank you!
What do you recommend for a beginner actor? I've been considering bartending and being a nanny. I'm very introverted and get burnt out if I don't have enough time to myself so I feel a bit anxious that I won't be able to pull it off...
I'm almost always on my period, a bag of nerves, frustration, anxious and honestly just an emotional wreck. My skin also freaks out as a result so I look terrible both on camera and in person. I have hardly anyone to turn to to record self tapes with me which I really stress over because my mum is impatient and gets angry after like 2 takes and anyone else I ask is too busy as I don't have any reliable actor friends. I feel like it's so unfair getting people to self tape especially so last minute. If it was an in person audition at least there's a guaranteed reader and I don't have to go round scrambling and feeling so desperate for someone to so kindly take their time out to help me. I found out today and only have tomorrow which I've had to take the whole day off of a course I'm doing just for a bloody tape. I'm really not okay. Been trying to make a go of acting as a career for over 3 years now and the last year has been pretty useless and now coming out of it, there's so much unreasonable pressure with the deadlines.
So I've primarily done all theatre up until a year ago. Ive done ALL the self tapes this year and all have varying quality. I tried taking a few classes on better self taping and getting all the tech with limited success. Either way in general I feel like Im stagnant in my progress as an actor, especially in film. I want to get better, but I'm struggling with exactly what else to do I haven't already done. Even in theatre I see my friends get cast in stuff, or asked to do stuff and I always feel like im on the sidelines which makes me think I suck and then feedback loop. I dunno just looking for honest, helpful advice.
I was thinking of having a stage name/ partial stage name, nobody in the industry actually has my surname, its just my first name is very common and already used by a few actors, so thats why I was thinking of changing it. I actually plan to just use my FULL birth name, but for the last couple days, I was thinking, why not use a stage name or a partial stage name ... so, it would be ( ??????? + real surname) If I am changing the first name, should I just change the surname also (EX. Vin Diesel : Mark Sinclair ) Or just change the first name ( EX. Tina Fey : Elizabeth Fey ) I understand having a catchy stage name can help you in the beginning of your career (or at least it used to help you "stick out" in the past years) but what do you guys think of stage names nowadays ? Is it still worth doing? Or do you just come off as "trying too hard" ( I personally think using any type of stage name its trying too hard, but I also may be too critical/judgemental on that thought and thats why I want your guys opinion on it)
I know LA, NYC, and Chicago are prime locations. But does anybody know anything about the boom film in New Mexico? Is there really a thing such as a “must live here to be an actor” place in this digital era?
Do productions apply filters on an extra when their face is shown on camera and they have skin issues?
I am a full time employee at Amazon corporate (in finance) but I would love to be a background actor on a movie or TV show. I said comedy above but I am not opposed to anything else. I really have no acting experience but when I saw an ad for that Ms Maisel was looking for background actors, I did not think for a second and applied. After looking into it more, I messaged someone on Reddit and this person told me to go to the Facebook page for Grant Wilfley which was something I did not even think of. So, I did that and I submitted my "application" and offered to fly wherever on a moments notice. I did not hear back but I would jump at the opportunity to do this. I am not looking to get paid for this, I want to be on camera though. To summarize, this into a question, how do people get acting roles? Is it an application where you just wait? Did you figure out some way to get the role? I just want to try this out.
I am taking a short summer film appreciation class and need to recreate/act out a short movie/tv scene. The problem arises, however, when I am out of town for training and thus need to complete the project inside a hotel room. I don't know anyone in town and am most comfortable just acting out a solo scene. I was told by the professor to try to find a scene with one actor that also takes place in a hotel room. This seemed like a lazy solution from their end and I don't anticipate this being an easy project to complete. I first thought of this scene from No Country for Old Men [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q07EbZrYVSs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q07EbZrYVSs) but hotels to my knowledge aren't really designed with central A/C like that anymore so there isn't a vent I can open. Thank you in advance for any help.
Hey acting Reddit I started my acting journey a little over a year ago I can’t believe it but it’s actually coming together more than I could ever have imagined and it’s all thanks to this sub! The amount of things I’ve learned on this sub have made me the actor I am a year later! I didn’t even think I would make this long term but now it’s apparent I want to go full time acting In the near future. Anyways this is a bit of a rant but holy shit thank you to every single person who has ever given me feedback, replied to my post, given words of advice, encouragement. Thank you from the bottom of my heart this has been a great year for me, recently I acted in a short film Friday and I was just like holy shit what a year! So again thank you from the bottom of my heart to every single person who’s helped me in this short journey, I hope to be doing this forever so I really appreciate everyone in this community acting truly has been amazing for me this year!
Yeah, I know that's such a generic title so I'll explain what I want to know. I (M23) live in Italy and I'm working in a sweets factory. I started working right after finishing high school because I needed money. Now it's been like 3 years since I noticed that I like cinema and mostly the acting part of it, so I basically decided that this is the only thing that I want to do in life and that would make me finally happy. That said, my problem is that I have literally no experience with it and I'm also afraid to go to an acting school because they're not cheap and the money I saved won't last forever. So I wanna know if there's someone of you who started late, risked it all and how it worked out.

Hi friends, i´d like to know some tips for acting Hamlet. I read the book, but I´d like to know about your perspective of Hamlet´s temperament or some reference actor. Thank you :)

Hi! I am going to be the lead in a new show. I am passionate about privacy. I use two step apps/phone number where I can. I have been reading this thread for a while and there was a similar thread with another person who worked in entertainment. The issue is that I don't have a ton of money to afford an assistant or making an entire business in my name. But I do still want to maintain my privacy. I am an adult and live alone. I am not close with my family at all, so I am concerned about tabloids reaching out to them or hackers/fans trying to hack their accounts to get to mine. How can I protect my info even if my family doesnt?

The script takes place as if you are an Elder Heinrich the Lion of Saxony / Bavaria *(disposed and 56 years old), and the script is formatted as if it is you, The Lion - is speaking in his later years to the viewer at a taverns table, as he goes over more a-less the features of the Mod I am creating for Crusader Kings III. The audio itself is going to be accompanied by a video and used together to advertise the free to use, non-profit mod, which will also shown off at a virtual event showing off large community Crusader Kings III modifications in order to raise money for Charity. Link to info about that: https://modcon.xyz/index.php/charity. The video itself is a stylized feature overview style trailer and is around 800 words written, calculated words to speech online for a time around 6 and a half minutes, but can extend to 8 minutes max. The reason for wanting a German, is I was hoping for a more authentic German accent to fit the character but to also be clear enough English speaking that most English speakers would be able to understand. I was aiming to pay around 50 dollars CAD, but i am willing to go a bit higher if necessary as I've not hired a VA before.
tl;dr: I shot a season of a confidential huge new series on a huge streaming platform as the lead, but haven’t booked anything since. I’m a 20 year old male actor who’s been acting professionally for about three years. I was cast as the lead in a HUGE project that will be releasing on a HUGE streaming service later this year. I am under NDA and it is very confidential so I really can’t say much else about it. I shot from January to March on location, and am now living in Los Angeles. Before I booked this role, I was going out for small co-star roles, maybe getting three to four auditions a month MAX. Now, I am going out exclusively for series regular and recurring guest stars and am auditioning sometimes three to four times a WEEK. This sounds great but I have yet to book anything since getting off of my show back in March. My manager is ecstatic at the tapes I’m sending in and is telling me that I am acting 100x better than when he signed me and that there is nothing I need to change, and I believe him because he is not a small time manager at all and represents MAJOR actors in the industry, and has always been honest with me since signing me a couple years ago. I’ve been invited to participate in workshops and classes with very large casting offices and the instructors have all given me tons of praise on both my acting and appearance and pretty much no critique on my performance while giving the others in the workshops tons. Everything points to me doing everything right, but my booking rate since shooting my show has been about 35-0. I don’t understand what is going on? Is it because I was suddenly thrust into casting offices to audition for series regular with only “Lead in Confidential (Streaming Service) Series” to vouch for me? I’ve been called back only three times, but I’ve noticed the same casting offices are starting to call me in more often. I just don’t know how to feel. I was catapulted to the very top of the industry with my show, and once it comes out it could very well be a career launching pad, but for now I just feel like I’m failing. It’s hard for other people to relate to me when I share my doubts about this because they just say “Dude c’mon, you just did that huge thing, I WISH i could be having your problems.” and I feel completely alone. Others from my cast (We were all plucked out of different pockets of the world as non union actors because they wanted to introduce new actors for the series) are working a lot, albeit in small non union projects since none of us have been forced to join SAG, but my manager deals exclusively with SAG projects and so that’s all I’ve been going out for except for the few non union roles i’ve gone out for on my own. Seeing them all working, even though it’s student and low budget short films, just makes me sad because I’m itching to be on set again, and it makes me question whether the path I’m on is the right one. My manager has said “You went right to the top as a lead in a HUGE series, I want to keep your momentum there and keep you on that SAG series regular level, so we are going to hit that hard.” This may be all over the place but I’m just sitting here in my apartment wishing I was on set again. Any advice? Am I doing something wrong? Do I just need to be patient and have faith in what I’m doing?
I am auditioning for an acting job as a « ghost » telling stories to people at night in my city. That is a dream job that I really want to get. They invited me to one of the performances, which I really appreciated, but I feel like it ironically went wrong. The actor was pretty cold towards me. I thought it was interactive (since I have been asked to improvise at the audition, other ghost stories are interactive, and I had similar acting jobs that were very interactive). But when I made one small appropriate joke (that made the whole group laugh), the actor ignored it and moved on to something else. Okay, it seems like it is not interactive... Later in the performance, she asked for a volunteer. I raised my hand but she insisted on picking someone else. No one wanted to volunteer so she had to pick me. She ask me a question as part of the story: « Why were you arrested? » and I joke « For showing my ankles » (as the story was set when this was forbidden) everyone laughed but she quickly said that I was arresting for stealing instead. Okay, I am going to shut up even when it seems interactive. She kept interacting with other people but me. At the end, I wanted to compliment her, saying that I loved her performance, asking for how many years she had been doing that, that she was a great model for me before my audition, etc. But she seemed pretty cold. I told her I was sorry for participating in the performance, saying I thought this was interactive, but she said « I wanted to focus on people who actually paid. » I thought I was invited to actually enjoy the performance, no one told me I didn’t have the right to participate... And on my other similar interactive acting jobs, I love when my colleagues interact with me, that makes the performance way better, I didn’t know it was inappropriate in that setting. I feel like the actor didn’t like me and might mess up my chances of getting the job by saying I took too much place during the performance... Did I really screw up my chances? Was I being inappropriate or was she being cold? Why doesn’t she like me? What can I do to fix this? I would be really upset if this ruined my chances at getting the job...
Not sure if this is the right sub for this but here goes, Anthony Hopkins may very well be the best actor I’ve ever seen. He makes every single movie he’s in better and he’s just fantastic.
Hey guys! My friend gathered a few others and opened up a discord dedicated to actors and connecting them to other members of production. They're pretty active in creating event's and provide resources for those who need very specfic or specialized answers quicker and often times simpler. Lots of neat people in here already! Take a look around. They weed out bots, spammers, and lurkers really frequently and want to keep those who are solely interested in their craft and advancing it. I found quite a few last minute readers in here and folks are mega responsive. Take a look! [https://discord.gg/qmTa2rfwjS](https://discord.gg/qmTa2rfwjS)
everytime i tell my family i want to be an actress i can just SENSE the disapproval and “disgust” when i tell them. it’s even worse for me because my brother is almost the golden child, he is heading towards being a surgeon. i dread anytime family asks me what career i’m going into because i hate dealing with their disapproval. i know i shouldn’t care and feel embarrassed because it’s my life not theirs but it’s not easy when i’ve grown up seeking validation all my life. i just want them to support me. they think it’s unrealistic and childish, they think i’ll just end up homeless. it’s so draining. i hate being compared with my brother bc even if they don’t say anything they like him more. i wish more than anything to prove them wrong but it’s so hard. how can i explain it to them in a way that’ll make them think “wow, i’m impressed” and not “what a disappointment”

I’ve seen this come up in this sub a couple of times when searching but have seen some mixed answers. Is it better hand in a self-tape as early as possible, (day or couple of days before the deadline) then it is send it just before the deadline? I’ve seen people say that CDs watch tapes before the deadline and can very well have made up their minds before the other tapes have been received and therefore might not watch the other tapes. I’d like to think this is false and that all tapes are watched after the deadline has passed, but we actors all know that it is a tough old world out there in our industry and 0 f**ks are usually given.
No matter what I do when I record i still sound like a bored high school er. Don't intend to become a voice actor but I wanna sound more expresive, to be clear when I'm shocked or angry or emotional. How can I improve?
Been in NYC for 5 years doing lots of non union film and theatre and taking classes. I do a lot of straight plays, Shakespeare and film/tv, and I'm EMC. Mid twenties, character actor (tech guy, gay best friend, sidekick, etc). I was getting really serious about leveling up in 2020 and then...well you know. So now I'm back on the grind, in class and gonna get new headshots next month. I really want representation now, cuz I now feel confident about booking work if given the opportunity. Are there any managers or agents that take on newer talent (im not new to acting or especially young, but Im still an early point in my career)? For example, I dont think Abrams would be interested in me right now, but maybe there's a smaller place thats more of a starter agency? It's been hard for me to discern which places are scams and which places are legit and just rep people who havent started really booking yet.
Hi all! I am not myself a voice actor - novice or professional - so pardon my ignorance on things that might be obvious. My wife is interested in breaking in to dubbing anime. According to her most/all anime is dubbed in the Dallas Texas area, and being the industry would require moving there. I work from home and wouldn't be opposed to the idea... however, I don't want to move their on the pure assumptions. My first question is do you really need to live in Dallas? Has the industry not moved to more of a record from home setup? Are there not studios in other locations? Are the gigs regular enough to bother moving there, or would it make enough sense to fly in when needed? My other question is even if you need to move there ultimately to do the work, do you need to move in to acquire the work? I'd assume there are casting calls or something that you could do from anywhere - or at least fly in specifically for - and they wouldn't require you live there to even interview you? ​ Thanks!
Weeee, you found me!
