I know smoking weed inhibits performances, but what about if the character is supposed to be high? Does it make it more authentic?
Hey there, this is a quick question that I am probably overthinking but I just wanted to see if I could get anyone's advice: I got an audition from my agent today on Actors Access, and the casting directors request a selfie of me taken today. I took this and sent it to my agent, asking if I should sent it to the casting director as well (because I know it can be unprofessional for the actor to contact casting directly) but it's been a few hours now and my agent hasn't responded. I want to make sure casting gets the photos as soon as possible, but I don't want to send them directly if it would make my agent look bad. Should I go ahead and email casting directly or wait to hear back from my agent? Thanks!
Hello to all professional voice actors who are making a living from this. I just wanted to gauge what experiences other people doing this from 9-5 have. I am a working voice actor who has invested everything into it from the beginning of 2021, I had done a few things before, when home studios where non existant but only put the money into a home studio recently. I have managed to get a few decent jobs such as webex, bentley, oppo and a few others and I am on basically every pay to play site. Im finding it so difficult though to make it full time as I thought I would be good enough to at least make a couple jobs a week as auditioning constantly. But even with constant auditions and with the credits I have I find it difficult to make ends meet. Does anyone feel the same or have any insight to what I could do better? This has been my dream since 12 years old and I am doing it but it is so hard sometimes.
My partner is an actor. He’s started taking more parts that require him to travel to other countries. This is new and I’m wondering what systems people have for when their partner is away. Obviously I know he’s EXTREMELY busy on set, I won’t be offended if his schedule changes or he can’t speak to me at the moment. And I know there are millions of actors with spouses, so how do you guys try to have that feeling of closeness while apart?
When I worked in casting, I would look at the special skills to see if there was anything that stood out to me. Now as an actor, I love to look at other special skills to find a new hobby to try!
Actors in Sydney particularly! I was wondering how many auditions does your agency (if you have one) will they send you in a period of time (3 times a week, once a month etc)? Note I’m in a minority ethnic group so if you are as well would love to know!
Growing up I’ve always envisioned myself with fancy cars and living a luxurious life like most people do haha. I’ve always been really interested in movies and more so recently acting. Every time I see a film I always ask myself if I can do that or how would act if I was an actor in that scene. Unfortunately I feel like my anxiety will get in my way of pursuing this dream that I have. Many people see me as very extroverted but I feel like when all the attention Is on me I’m always worried I’ll succumb to the pressure. Anyone have any advice of some small steps I can take to get more comfortable and eventually going to an audition?
When pitching yourself to an agent, should you or should you not mention a successful actor that they represent? It wouldn't be as a fan letter, of course, or in a cocky "I have the ability to surpass that actor" type of way. It would be more so as an "I admire this actor's career, therefore, I respect you because you made it happen" message. Would that be flattering or creepy? I don't want them to think that I only want to join their agency in hopes of rubbing shoulders with this actor. It's going to be worded casually. I basically want to say that I acknowledge their reputation in the industry, I found out about them through this person's success and my marketability is on par. Should you steer clear of "name-dropping" other actors in your pitch unless it's in the form of a referral or an accomplishment that relates to you? Is there a way to gracefully compare yourself to another actor and make it your selling point, not something that is a flaw?
TLDR: I've wanted to be a voice actor since I was a kid. Finally starting to watch vids and read blogs on where to start, and hopefully find a way to afford a mic soon. Warning, I may ramble and have a few errors, and I'm sorry in advanced, I'm a little excited. Hello everyone, I hope you're doing well today. For context, I've wanted to become a voice actor for years, and the last couple years, specially with Covid, it's really struck me to start getting into it. You don't chase dreams sitting on your ass, and I need to learn that. I'm starting off with a few videos I found on Youtube, and I'm going to find a way to afford a decent mic, but that might have to go on hold for a bit because bills. Once I have a mic though, I intend to submit demos and try to get some traction, but I want to watch a few more 'get started' videos before spending any money. Wish me luck, I'm still very new to this, and I don't know where to start other than Youtube and Reddit, but I'm going to start watching the videos. Even if I move at a snails pace because life gets in the way, I'm starting! Have a good day.
Dear actors and actresses. I ask for your help on a subject that might be of interest. We have an anonymous online-questionnaire about opinions on autistic portrayals in a selected number of films and TV-shows (e.g Rain Man, The good doctor, Atypical, and Music). It takes 5-7 minutes. I posted the same survey on a group for screenwriters and had a lot of good conversations on the topic of screenplays with characters with autism (and other conditions). I will respond to all comments you post here. The team that is conducting the study are: Professor Anders Nordahl-Hansen (Norway), PhD-candidate Stian Orm (Norway), Associate professor Michelle Dean (USA), and Professor Sue Fletcher-Watson (UK) [https://nettskjema.no/a/autism](https://nettskjema.no/a/autism)
Hi so some voice actors trill their r's and is that a genetic thing for them because I know I can't do it.
Every time I mentally take a break or mentally step away from acting, I tend to ask myself...why don't I just be an agent? To put yourself in my shoes, you would have to be in your mid 30's to early 40's , that's really who this question is targeted to, its just, when you're in that age bracket, your priorities/life/ and especially your health CHANGE completely compared to when you were younger. So, that's why the "agent route" comes to my mind, and NOT because I think the grass is greener on the other side. **Is there anyone else (preferably in that age bracket) out there that has considered or might be considering going the Agent route ?** I would honestly be happy with either of these careers (Acting or Agent), of course when I was in my teens and 20's, I thought I had "all the energy in the world and nothing could stop me"...but then I got older, and older, lol (so this is why this post is more directed to the older ones out there on Reddit) ​ *\* this is just an added thought...I have always said that acting was my "dream"...but i think I just wanted to be in that Hollywood/mainstream environment... I think that's why I don't have a problem considering becoming an Agent...*
Hi- I get the email notification for Actors Connection classes/seminars, which usually rolls in at about 11am everyday. I'm wondering, does anyone know what time the classes become posted and available for enrollment on their WEBSITE? Is it the same time, or earlier? Thanks.
So I am not into acting whatsoever but my friend is and she asked me for a ride to go to a audition but when we got there it wasn't what I expected at all. It felt more like they were trying to hire for a MLM, having a conference about how hard it is to get auditions and having a actor tell you the same stuff for 3 hours, the "auditions" were getting everybody in a big room one at a time stand up and say the line they prepared. She seemed really excited about it but as a 3rd party I'm worried I'm seeing through the facade. Has anybody done this? have you heard of it? Is it worth the money?"
I’ve always dreamed of becoming a professional actors despite being a isolated Brazilian dude. And one of the most stereotypical skills an actor must have is the ability to cry, right? More specifically the ability to invoke emotions. So for the past 3 weeks I was determined to learn how to cry… like a pro. I researched both physical (blinking, onions etc.) and emotional methods (Meisner, Emotion Recall...) to do so while experimenting all of them with myself. I think the result is something that can be useful for the acting nerds like myself ahaha. If not, at the very least is somewhat funny. The whole process is documented in video here: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\_OlyNQ9Gf4U](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OlyNQ9Gf4U) Please tell me what you think! ;)
Thanks for helping!
I’ve applied for a few roles through Mandy.com but it seems like the video I uploaded (demos) aren’t actually attaching to the application? It’s just my pdf CV. anyone know what I’m doing wrong? When I apply for a new role - all the previous files are there but then when I view my applications only the pdf is downloadable. It’s really frustrating if I haven’t actually attached what I’m meant to.. anyone know what I’m talking about at all?
Granted I only just received training last summer and I have almost no experience— but some others in that boat who graduated with me got agents, and almost everyone got an agent in total. I’m really stressing out!
New voice actor is this any good for narrating and such?
I'm an international student in the US on my f1 visa. How would I go about pursuing acting in the US? I know that Kunal Nayyar (the famous actor who portrayed Raj Koothrappali on the CBS sitcom) got himself a work visa after he graduated on his F1 visa. Would I be able to do the same? Any help is greatly appreciated, Thanks!
Best places to meet casting directors and other industry folk? Especially for something that has just landed in LA wanting to make connections and get a referral to a good agency?
***HEY!*** I was wondering if any aspiring actors wanted to follow each other on Instagram and possibly form a group chat where we can support one another, give advice, tips, network, etc! Preferably anyone at the ages of 13-20. **BTW**... I'm 17, a black girl, and live in California
We are making a fan game based on Avatar The last Airbender (you can see footage in the post history for this account) , and we are looking for a voice actor to play the role of a caster. Everyone on the team is doing this for free so there is no pay.
I am a German actor and want to get into game VA(localisation). But I have no demo material whatsoever. I was wondering if someone knows sources for videos like cutscenes, trailers etc. Which I can use to record my voice on an upload them to my home page. So basically free to use an edit or even public domain videos.
Hey everyone, so I’m an writer/actor/comedian and I had a meeting with a great, well-known agency about a month ago after a friend referral and sending them some tape/scripts. The meeting went super well — their head of comedy told me it sounded like I was “knocking on the door and just needed help kicking it in”, and their lead theatrical agent said she definitely wanted to send me sides to put on tape to send back to her. Also, the vibes were just solid. I felt like we really hit it off. I left the meeting and sent thank you notes. After a week, I hadn’t heard anything, so my friend who they rep and who recommended me nudged them by emailing them to thank them for meeting with me. The theatrical agent told him it was their pleasure, I was adorable, and she was “definitely gonna send him something to tape!” That was three weeks ago now. Haven’t heard anything. I emailed her this week just to see if she wanted me to tape still/check in… nothing. Is it time to move on? What’s going on here?
Have any actors in LA done substitute teaching as a survival job? If so, did you go through a temp agency or approach the schools directly? How did it work out in terms of flexibility and pay? I'm hoping to find something where I short term sub and agree to the job in the morning and pick my days so I'm free to go to callbacks when I need to. How competitive was it to be hired?
I need some advice. I’m 13 and want to become an actress so bad. But I’m extremely shy. I cant even act infront of my parents or even sing. My parents know that I want to become an actor. They believe me and support me but they know that my shyness will not help me at all. I told them I want to take acting classes and they agreed at first. So I signed up. And literally the day that I have my first acting class I ended up not going bc my mom yelled at me saying “the acting industry is hard! You cant even act in front of us and you expect your gonna do it in front of random people! I am the one paying for your classes and I don’t want to pay for it if I don’t see results!” So here I am… literally crying in my room bc idk what to do anymore. I’m taking theater in Highschool but it’s literally summer break rn and I wanted to take classes since I have nothing else to do. I don’t want to have to wait till Highschool. Tbh my family isn’t the typical family people expect. We are the type of family that are not rlly affectionate. Like me and my siblings have never even hugged EVER or said I love you. We are all about humor or whatever. Like I don’t even think they realize this but my family is SO JUDGY. Like the reason I don’t do anything infront of them is because I know I’m gonna get laughed at. If I express my self the tiniest bit I get made fun of. And they ofc my mom yells at me because I don’t act infront of her. Like does she not know how hard it is. It’s like she thinks I don’t want to show her I wanna become an actress but I DO! It’s just my family is so judgmental especially when it comes to the entertainment industry. It’s always “nursing” “military” but never “actress”. And since I’m still 13 they probably don’t even believe in me no matter how many times they say they “support me”. They are so bipolar I swear. It’s like when I say I wanna be come an actress they immediately think of me being “famous” and that’s what makes them say they “support” me. But once they realize that I have to take acting classes and get headshots they immediately change their mind. My family is so confusing. Anyways I need advice so if you guys have any. Feel free to respond. Thanks.
In my opinion I think they should cast more voice actors then celebrities because when they do cast celebrities the voice does not fit the character and can end up being annoying.
I've been thinking about the current systems in place for becoming SAG eligible. I see a lot of good and bad points to the current system when it comes to principal performers. When it comes to background actors, however, I think the system can be improved. Since the union does seem to be interested in finding ways to improve this sort of thing, maybe it's worth discussing some possible improvements. Maybe in a decade or so there may be a better system in place for new people if we talk about it now. The current system for becoming eligible via background vouchers is to collect three vouchers from jobs worked on SAG projects. The problem is, whether or not you receive a SAG voucher when you work on a SAG project seems to be almost pure luck. You could work 3 days and become eligible or you could work 300 days and not. It's pretty similar to the loot box system used in video games. You might collect 300 vouchers in around 120 days worked "on average" but there's no reliability to it. Do you have any ideas on how this system could be improved? I would think that maybe there could be a new type of voucher that you always receive if you work non-union background on a SAG-AFTRA project. If you collect enough of these vouchers, say 100, you become eligible that way. I don't know what the number would be. I just used 100 as an example. the real number could be 75, 120, 150, or anything really. I guess ideally they'd want the number to be whatever keeps new members becoming eligible at the same rate they do now. In my idea, this new voucher would replace the old one. Alternatively, the new voucher could be used alongside the old one. In that case you would need an exceedingly large number of them to become eligible. At that point it would just be to make sure someone doesn't devote many years to this and happen to get shafted by never becoming eligible. It seems like it makes sense from a producer's standpoint. Under my system, if you book a SAG background actor you'd know they had at least x number of days experience. This seems fair to me. Anyone have thoughts or ideas on the subject?
Hi all! I’m a writer-director prepping a project soon. I have an incredible cast, but my lead actor has a couple moments where the lines she delivers doesn’t feel “real”. What I mean is that it feels devoid of emotional truth, almost melodramatic/wooden. As actors, what are ways a director can help make you feel more comfortable and encourage an adjustment to have delivery come across feeling authentic and not “wooden”.
My whole life (I grew up as a competitive dancer) as a performer and especially now as an actor, I’ve been told that I look like I’m thinking or that I’m too in my head and I need to let go. Any advice about how to achieve “letting go” or get out of my head? I’ve never been able to do it and it’s holding me back, especially with Meisner stuff. If anyone could advise about what it feels like to be in your head versus out of your head or what worked for you, it would be so, so helpful!
For my fellow older actors (*could apply to anyone though) who on a typical take medications before bed … —that if you take too late will screw up your next day —but you can’t take on time for a night shoot because the meds induce sleep… what do you do about it for a night shoot? I’ll probably talk to doctor about modifying or temporary changing. Any suggestions?
When it’s down to the wire and there’s only 2 or 3 actors for a role, what goes into that final decision? I know what that point that the directors/producers usually have their say, but how do networks and executives decide on an actor? Thanks!!
I’m deciding between a program offered here and a program offered at the margie harber school, but this one is a little cheaper. Does anyone know if the teaching is good?
I’ve been a professional SAG-AFTRA background and stand-in actor in LA off & on for 12 years. I’m starting to feel really hopeless since I’m not getting much work & it’s affecting my mental health and finances. As for me, I’m good looking (average to above looks) boy next door type & an 18 to look younger white male. I feel like I have decent photos on my profile and I have a calling service. I only get a few availability checks that don’t lead to bookings. I think I last worked only one day a month ago and my prior booking before that was a month before that date. Is it currently a slow period? I feel like a lot of stuff is filming and was picking back up. I was busier during the pandemic than I am now. I figured once restrictions lifted that more productions would gear up & more jobs would be opening up. I don’t know if my calling service doesn’t like me or what, but I want to focus mostly on stand-in work and they never book me as a stand-in. They always put me on bottom of the barrel background jobs that film far away or aren’t as good. And the last few jobs I’ve booked myself on and I feel they aren’t as useful anymore. I just don’t know what to do since I can’t change my default photo with Central since they aren’t doing updates. Does anyone know of a really good calling service that works hard for you as a Union member? I want to just do stand-in work but I don’t know how to get in that pile with casting. And I know calling services lie and say they don’t just put their favorites on jobs... but I feel they absolutely do. Do you guys ever send any notes or photos by mail or email to casting to be like hey I’m available for work, book me? I never did that but I just wanna get back on castings radar but I don’t know if it’s like principal acting where you mail postcards to background casting to get on their minds. It’s not like it was years ago. It was easier to get booked several days a week. Now I’m just struggling and I wanna give up completely & go back to school in something out of the entertainment industry. I just don’t feel good enough and the down time just eats at me. I don’t know if I can live with the stress of not knowing when my next paycheck is. How do you guys cope? I just don’t wanna be broke sitting around at home all day losing my mind :( This was always my backup job and guaranteed money since I used to easily get booked but for some reason I never get calls anymore.
i know there are a few well known actors and actresses who have never taken acting classes but how did they start?
Hello! I am a 20 year old actor moving to Albuquerque because I have done a lot of research on the area with Netflix and NBC moving in right before COVID I know production is just now about to start again. I would love to hear from other actors as well as others in the industry in their experiences in New Mexico? I just got approved for an apartment and will be moving in July 2nd. I’m also planning on signing up for acting classes at Sol Acting Studios. Please let me know what you think!
Hey! I’m new and am just realizing that I want to become and actor! I’m 21 and have put it off for a long time due to my anxiety and living in Kentucky. Finally I’m gonna try and pursue what I like doing and would love to meet people and hear about acting experiences you have had!
I was wondering about something just now. Let’s say that someone becomes this big time actor & they are going through something very stressful in their personal life. Interviewers of course keep bringing it up & the actor doesn’t want to do interviews anymore. Could that actor decide not to do most interviews & still get to keep their career successful? I notice that some actors do way less interviews compared to others & wondered how they set that up w/o their career tanking. I’d love to hear thoughts on this.
I’m represented by a pretty good agency who also represent some big A list actors and are very selective with who they work with. I’ve done a fair few plays are the Royal Shakespeare Company and have also worked doing short films. As of now I’m only 18 and I don’t know whether or not pursue the drama school for the experience, meeting new people and getting a degree or to carry on going to auditions, making money on the side and to not be in debt. I would appreciate any different perspectives. Thanks.
Lucas Talent, CUE, Premier Talent Management, Nuance Talent Management, Red Talent Management, Kirk, & Trisko also, a lot of the top actors have American agents as well. how are you supposed to know what specific agent got that actor their series regular audition?

I hope I'm in the right place to ask this- Hiya, I'm going to get straight to the point. I really, really want to do voice-over work as a carreer, and have for about a year now, and I want to start working towards that ASAP. I'm mainly aiming for anime and video games, which I'm sure isn't too uncommon. I've done prior research into classes, how to get started, and I do my best to practice as often as I can, but I'm slightly worried about causing complications as I am only 16 and I live in the Netherlands, and most classes that I've seen are aimed at people in America. Although not a lot, I do have some experience. I don't know if this important in this situation but yeah- I've had vocal training for singing/choir since I was 9, and I've taken multiple acting classes (both inside and outside my normal school) since I was about 11. To add to that, I just recently finished working on a reasonably sized theater production. I've also had one voice over job (it wasn't acting or anything major, I just had to read out some generic sentences for a voice detection thingy and record it on my phone), so I might as well mention that. For what it's worth, I'm also fluent in 3 languages (Dutch, Russian and English), but I do have a tiny accent on some words, and I want to know if that can cause some problems. I don't have any equipment, as I can't afford it, but I have been looking into setups. I don't want to make any expensive purchases until I've at least secured one class, though. I'm also a complete noob when it comes to recording programs and I've never used any before. I'm sorry for the long block of text, but I wanted to make sure I listed every possibly important piece of information. So, with my current circumstances, which step should I take next? Thank you for your time :)
When I was about 7 or 8 my mom sent me to tons of auditions for tv ads . I didn't really know what was going on at the time , I wasn't into acting , I got really frustrated when she took me to auditions , at the time I didn't know anything about how much actors make or how famous they get , I had a habit of biting my nails at the time I did it during auditions constantly , the people taking the auditions were surprisingly patient , they saw I was biting my nails and all that , I'm surprised they didn't kick me out in 5 minutes , I obviously didn't get any message from them after that I purposely acted badly coz I didn't want to do any more auditions or anymore acting , if someone had told me about the money and the fame of actors at the time I would have actually given the auditions properly Now here I am watching stranger things kids doing a load of interviews , going on Ellen and Jimmy Fallon and making more than I can count while I am 15, in school with nothing going on and uncertain about what I want to do for my future .
Hello everyone! I’m going to be meeting soon with a management company and I’m wondering what I should ask them before even thinking about possibly signing. I’ve looked them up on IMDbpro and their company meter is in the 2000, and the first 3 actors on their roster have booked ok roles, though it’s hard to say if it’s due to this manager or the agents they have. I figured I’d meet with them anyway because I need some kind of representation! So any advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you!
moved here, started some classes, getting headshots soon, no clue what to do next.. finding it hard to get any speaking roles or work... should i seek a manager or agent by sending in self tapes and stuff? feeling stuck and in my 20s so im taking my time but also want to just act and work.. idk suggestions for new female youngish NYC actors
So a agency is interested in my niece. I acted as a teen and into adulthood but I want to know if there’s anything specific we need to ask about before we sign. They’re a agency thats smaller but they’re actors book work. Considering how new my niece is I think a smaller agency would be a good fit for her for now. They’re just starting out their kids commercial division and she’d be the only Caucasian blonde for a while as they’re starting out with one kid from each demographic before adding more. They basically said if they like her personality and she can read a script theyd be very interested in signing her.
I've got an idea for a group of actors perhaps from Reddit. In the past I found that getting an actor friend, who's from the specific area where the character I have to audition for is from, to read my lines. I did a TV role where the character was not only from the same area as an actor friend's dad, but had the same job. I transcribed her reading of the lines exactly. She also gave me great insight as to how the character felt about his accent. In this case he was proud of it and would exaggerate it. I find the usual resources less helpful. Real people are self conscious and not saying the words you'll have to say. YouTube "experts" are pretty shaky too. I'm from MI and have some insight into the flat midwestern vowels and adopted southern accent peculiar to my experience growing up. An actor FROM Baltimore might be able to really nail down that accent line for line. Anyone know of such a group or interested one?
Like for instance, where do all of you guys live? Is it harder to find work in your city, or is it easier because of the internet? Are there any international places, like cities in the United Kingdom or New Zealand, that need voice-acting help?
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.
