Hey Peeps! Hope your week is going well, today we are talking about what? Of course its voice acting but more specifically its some tips for intermediate voice actors, as the things i cover may seem simple because they really are. But head knowledge is different then practise. Alot of good voice actors make these mistakes and the end result is less than stellar performance. Hope these videos help you!

Hello! I'm a 25(F) in Los Angeles and I'm Native American. I have long hair right now because I think it will help me get cast easier. I would really like to style my hair differently because I think it will make me happy but idk how it will affect my casting! I have long length hair, no bangs but I want curtain bangs and a shag cut, almost Joan Jett layers but keep my length. Do you think it would ruin my casting ability or should I be fine? Here is a more current photo( I'm in the green shirt and red fence background) vs the hair style ideas I have: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1ZQ6PmswbqR30x2xYfyfPLPrPkDbKFd2o Please help! I've been wanting this haircut for months now but I don't want to ruin my casting chances
I’ve been wanting to post kind of showy pictures like this https://www.instagram.com/p/CMggHWbncfX/?igshid=1rb9qrdx6r18o or this https://www.instagram.com/p/CMfusa2gv44/?igshid=19mfaid7zq3dd or this https://www.instagram.com/p/CM0TTemM4jZ/?igshid=e0mckawh3oyd on my Instagram. I’m a firm believer in women being allowed to show their bodies and it’s a form of confidence for me. Currently the only people who follow me are people from college and who went to high school with me. However, I feel like that might make a bad impression if I’m trying to pursue acting and someone in the industry looks at my page. I should also mention that I’m 18. My acting age range can be around 13-22 or something (I’m 4’11 and can look younger or older depending on what I wear. I’ve had people mistake me for being in 6th grade but also people mistake me for being 21 when I was 15) I see a lot of professional actors post them, like the people I linked above. But they are already successful actors and celebrities not to mention they are like 25 & 28. What do you guys think? Is it ok for me to have posting freedom and be myself or should I try and keep it “family friendly?”
I'm an actor with a couple locally-filmed TV credits to my name [(IMDB)](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm8413371/?ref_=tt_cl_t3). To make a long story short, I'm about to finally move out of my parents house and in with a friend nearby, and I might be starting a full time job at a warehouse. Basically, my goal right now is to get some experience living on my own while I save my money before I finally head out to LA (ideally by next year), and I just wanted to know any other steps I should take first. I'm sure there's a lot of similar threads, and I have been reading plenty of advice online, but I just wanted some feedback that's more specific to my situation. I'm trying to do things as carefully and responsibly as possible. \- About how much money should I save up? I have a decent amount saved up, but probably not enough. \- Is it possible to get an LA-based agent without living there? I know that used to not be the case, but maybe things are different now with COVID? I unfortunately do NOT have a real agent now. There's only two in my area; one isn't taking on new talent, and the other has turned me down several times over the years (I've also tried agents in neighboring states to no success). \- I'd like to pursue more gigs here, but I am worried about balancing them with a full time job, although I don't realistically expect to book much, if anything. Is there any advice on that? Hell, where can I find gigs outside ActorsAccess (which has few opportunities with no agent) and Backstage? Also, none of my filmmaker friends are filming short films or anything now due to COVID. \- Would I be better served by going to Atlanta for a while? A reputable casting director did suggest doing so, but most of the roles cast there are bit parts and nothing outside the area, and I feel like I've wasted enough time already (it took many years just to get to this point), and would prefer to be auditioning for at least somewhat bigger roles. \- I know I should continue to take classes, and I'm okay with virtual ones, as long as they're not expensive. Any suggestions are welcome. \- Is there a way to make meaningful connections before I head out there? \- If there's anything else I should know (and I know there is), please let me know. I really appreciate anyone taking the time to respond. \- For the record, [here's my reel.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKB9F9qjMZQ) I know it's very far from perfect, but this was indeed the best footage I had.
As someone from England i feel as if there are less opportunities than if you were from America where it feels most of the best roles have been and will be. I wondered if anyone knew about how successful British actors got there break and got to America. Did they all live there in the first place or did it stem from successful British roles that got them noticed?
My last seizure was on Sunday, April 11th, 2021. I've had PLENTY of seizures this year, and I've been thinking about becoming an actor. What happens if an actor has a seizure while acting in a TV show/movie? I wonder because I heard that "seizures are unpredictable".
So I've been recently reading and learning about the ActingClass subreddit and saw that it's claimed to be a free class for all actors. However, since actors post their dialogue or self tapes and get actual feedback from the teacher, does this mean that it's enough to put as a class on a resume? Or does it have to be a paid one on one class in order to count as actual experience?
Hi, I want to become an actor (preferably on film and television), full time. Obviously it’s very very difficult to peruse, so I’m not saying it’s easy. However I would like someone to give me some tips on how to do it. I have this app named Backstage, which shows auditions all over the world. I was thinking the best option was to start with local productions and build my resume and go towards like that. I know this isn’t the best option for a full time career so I’m obviously going to need an agent. Anyways, what would be the best option for me at the moment during COVID restrictions. I live in the UK. Thanks all.
Check out the new subreddit r/ActingStories so hear about funny, crazy, on set or audition stories from actors trying to make it in the business.
I was thinking about doing it at university but feel like I’m too late help
I'm very curious how actors in the IMDB Star Meter range of 2,000 to 10,000 get most of their bookings. I'm sure huge stars like Ben Affleck and Aubrey Plaza must be directly sent offers constantly so they can usually just choose from those. For famous actors who aren't the very top of the Hollywood elite, how do you think they get most of their roles? Do you think it's mostly through their agent being contacted with a direct offer? Do you think it's mostly from their agents submitting them to casting calls on Breakdown Express? Do you think I made the range too big, so that the top half book differently than the bottom half? Do you think it's from a different method I haven't mentioned? P.S. I'm sorry for using the IMDB Star Meter rating as a metric for this. I know a lot of people don't like it, but it was the best way I could describe actors who are famous but not mega-superstars. Actors on a similar level to Danny Pudi, Elizabeth Henstridge, Linda Park, Wade Williams, Robert Knepper, Beth Behrs, Jonathan Kite, etc.
Hello everyone! I live in South America (but also hold a European passport), and since the pandemic pretty much murdered the tiny acting/theater/TV/Film industry we had in my country, I am currently considering moving somewhere else where I can truly work in my field of choice. I've studied acting before and have also been working as an actor for several years, but it wasn't my Major at University, so I'm also thinking of applying for a Master's in acting or an acting-related field (I'm very academically oriented). My first choice was always London because of my European passport, but Brexit has made my plans considerably harder. So I am now considering the US and Canada, particularly Texas (Austin-Houston area) and Toronto, because I have contacts there who could house me (and I really need all the help I can get! Remember, I'm an actor who has been living for over a year in a country where the pandemic left no work for actors lol). My question is, what do you guys feel about these cities for studying acting and working in the field as well? Any Universities you'd recommend? Also, do you have any info on good cities/Universities in Europe (other than the UK)? Any input/advice/help will be greatly appreciated! I'm only now starting to plan this out so I'll definitely come back with a lot more questions. Thank you!
To anybody currently living in Australia that’s pursuing acting successfully or that feels is doing more than the average guy or girl (idk how to word this): Run me through what you did to get to the point you’re at. I’m currently only taking private lessons but know I should be doing more. Or at least, I know deep down that I should at the very least be auditioning for things while taking lessons. Even if I’ll fall hard on my ass while doing so. I don’t really even know how to find auditions without paying to keep a profile up somewhere... I don’t know where to go from here. I’ve been taking private lessons for maybe a few months now and don’t really know where to go from here. I can’t just take lessons my whole life without taking extra steps to get my name out there if you know what I mean? I’ll likely never stop taking lessons. I just know I’ll never get anywhere if that’s where I remain; doing lessons and nothing else. I’d love some advice if anybody has any? Being paid to work doesn’t bother me. I don’t care what I work on. I’ve always had this idea that I should take any opportunity I’m given. I guess I kind of just want credits to book better things or so I can at least get an agent or something. Idk how this stuff works. I feel dumb just writing this. I have no idea how to find an agent either honestly haha. I’m panicking a little as I’m typing this too because I know I’m not doing as much as I should be, and I’m worried about not ever getting anywhere with acting if I don’t go straight for the mark. Thank you so much in advance! I’m 20 btw, in case anybody also wants to share. I’m sure it all kind of helps to know. No pressure, only if you’re comfortable. Thanks again.
Hi all, If you’re not aware, Georgia’s recent legislative action to restrict voting access has caused quite a stir. One of the most well known consequences is Major League Baseball moving their All-Star game from Atlanta to Denver. Most recently Will Smith’s movie Emancipation has pulled out of the state (https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1263814) I know Atlanta has been growing as a film/TV hub over the past decade, but will this all be reversed by the political climate? How are you feeling Atlanta actors?
Is there anyone in the casting community that can speak to this? I'm noticing this trend only snowballing. It is rare I see a US actor going overseas and getting parts but I am noticing the opposite is very much true. Do you have any intel as to why this is happening? I know (especially from the reels I have seen) it is not solely based on talent but whom your agent is. And also there is just something 'less threatening' about a black actor from London v. US? It's concerning to me as someone that has been born here bc despite how many roles I've booked and gotten praise for performances I'm trying to figure out what to do to make sure I can still work. Harriet Tubman was an awful movie but the actress was great - but I couldn't help thinking of how many other actresses (US) could've done just as strong of a job if not better. Please advise.
I’m an American Actor with an agent in NYC. I was offered management rep in LA. I’m 24, and I have a few guest star credits.. but I definitely want to build more credits/a better reel before heading out to LA. It’s a city saturated with actors. There’s a ton of work in Vancouver and Toronto. I also LOVE Canada. Has any American actor ever successfully transitioned into the Canadian market? What is the process of obtaining a visa like?
Im curious, as i today was in an acting class type thing, and i didnt actually talk but was preparing to talk because i believed i was. We ran out of time though, regardless, at first i was really shaking, this is what happens when the anxiety hits for me. I start really shaking and hearing my heart and not knowing where to put my hands. So i just decided to try affirmations for once, combined with box breathing and im shocked to say it really did work, my anxiety went down significantly, to the point where it was barely there and was probably just nerves at that point. It made me feel very normal. I was just thinking ‘i’m confident’, ‘i have to do this to move further in my career’, ‘this isnt embarrassing’, and i visualised myself being confident speaking. Who wouldve though such basic advice would work? But regardless, my question is, do actors further down the line have to do this too? I understand they’re more experienced, but is it normal for actors to have to do these 3 things before an audition? Because if not then do i really have a chance of being a professional when ive got such anxiety issues? I believe its my calling honestly, its the only career i can see myself absolutely loving. Please help me guys, and if you have any more confidence tips id really appreciate it! Anxiety sucks, but i can learn to deal with it especially with you guys’s help, thank you so much!!
Is there a difference in how they’re perceived by the industry in terms of talent level, professionalism. I ask because I’ve heard various views this from industry pros, CDs, etc. I personally think LA actors are challenged a bit more as far as competition, and have heard it’s easier for them to adjust to the southeast market vs southeast actors adjusting to the LA market. I think Atlanta has a great selection as well as far as quality but would love to hear more views on this.
I wanted your opinion on this. I'm an unrepped actress in the LA market and exclusively use Actors Access more over LA Casting. I love Actors Access and I get all my quality auditions from there. LA Casting, in my opinion, is kind of trash. Nothing but music videos looking for "Gorgeous Models", prank videos, and testimonials. I do get the occasional commercial audition from there, which is the only reason why I keep the service around. I got new headshots recently and uploaded about 7 of them to Actors Access. Payed around $70. LA Casting charges $25 per photo, unless you want to pay a monthly fee for the unlimited package. But once you stop paying that extra monthly fee and transfer back to the regular paid service, those photos disappear I heard. I don't update my headshots enough, to keep paying that fee over and over every month. Am I doing myself a disservice by updating my actors access with new reels and photos, way more then my LA casting account? Don't get me wrong, my LA casting is updated, but the variety of headshots and reel clips aren't as prominent on there as they are on my Actors Access account. Is anyone in the same boat as me?
Normally I would never do an acting class online but since I have left L.A and do not have any plans to return anytime soon I have been considering it. I'm only interested in acting on camera classes where I can record the scenes. I was thinking it might be fun to do a scene study class where I could meet a fellow actor and we would rehearse via Zoom outside of the class. I got high recommendations for Doug Warhit and Robert D'Avanso (I hear there is like a 2-year waiting list for him) Wasn't clear from either of their websites if they are doing online classes. Open to recommendations.
By make it, I mean who don't get a sufficient living from acting alone. i know how unlikely it is to make it, but i truly believe in myself and believe it's my calling. what are some tips you can give me to make sure im in the minority? its what i truly want to do to make a living as unlikely as it is, i want to get as close to that as possible. not speaking on fame, we all know how unrealistic it is to want that as actors. so please let me know, i appreciate any advice, i love my craft and pray that everyone reading this becomes successful in acting too if that's what you want :)
• plotline • in a dystopian world where artificial intelligence has caused a civil war, everything goes downhill when the prince of the royal family Haruka attempts to take his life and a mysterious man with a mask saves him during his attempt to rob the castle. Once he’s taken to safety, that’s when an outbreak of a strange illness breaks out and it’s up to them to find the culprit. Meanwhile, the two royal clans find themselves at war. It's about a man (Kasai) who's seen as a cold blooded killer who saves the Prince (Haruka) from taking his life, although their clans are at war. That's when Masahiro the main villain comes in and wreaks havoc, the Yaocho clan summons the Namahage and the two are thrown into a match where people have to fight each other to survive and there are trials. It's a life or death plotline and it has lots of action and suspense For now it’s unpaid because my family is having financial issues but if it became successful, there would be a contract where you would get a split of the revenue from the show the character Haruka has already had his role taken Kasai’s personality is very dark, sarcastic, and his voice is husky and dark as well. He has a deep tone He’s 19 years old and known as a killer He’s the second lead role, the supporting roles get casted later on Asahi is the third lead role, he shows up during the trials and from then on is a main character. He has a funny personality and his voice is on the boyish and airhead end Yua is a girl, she’s very shy and soft and sensitive. She has a very high voice, think loli and she appears at the same time as Asahi. She’s a supporting character Masahiro is the main villain, he has a demonic voice and is a hybrid between a demon and a human His personality is mocking and rude, he’s also full of himself The King is another villain, he’s an old man and has the voice of one, he’s abusive and cruel. He’s 60 years old
I’ve been considering applying to Yale’s graduate program in the near future and would like to know how hard it is to get in if you’re already a professional actor. I’m aware of how expensive it is, which is why I’d have to wait a few years to save some more. So in terms of auditioning and being accepted, how hard is it? I’m a foreign actor and believe this experience would give me connections that perhaps I wouldn’t be able to have in a different scenario, but I’m not sure it is a guarantee of better opportunities in the industry. Also, is it possible to balance study and work? Or once you’re in such a handful program, it’s impossible to audition? I’d love to get some wisdom from actors that went to any top school or has friends who did.

So I learned that on Actors Access you can pay extra to submit a headshot and resume to agents and managers for representation. Has anyone tried this? I’m curious if it’s worth it or not!
I live in Vancouver and it’s been on my bucket list to be an extra. I’ve worked closely with Hollywood studios in my day job (anti-piracy) so I want to experience a set and to be able to say I’ve done it. Anyway, this is become a reality next week. I’ll be dressed as a military officer. I’m fretting that in my headshot I had just had a haircut and had very short stubble. Currently I’m a week away from needing a cut and the stubble is closer to a beard (trimmed, not scruffy). Should I cut my hair? Should I shave? Thanks!
I've been writing a film, but I need actors. I'll probably just use my friends, but note, none of my friends care about film or filmmaking. Meaning, they have no acting experience or interests, and they probably won't take their roles that seriously. What's something that I can tell them that'll maybe make their performance a little more convincing, or what's a directorial technique that might make a bad performance seem a little better.
I auditioned and was offered a large supporting role in an indie film in the UK. It is paid at min. wage per hour. But since my casting there have been a number of red flags and was wondering whether they are valid or me overthinking? Very little communication but occasional updates on instagram. Originally supposed to start filming in Feb but was pushed til end of March due to Covid and lockdown. New pencilled in dates for filming were coming around and had had no contact from them for almost a month. Emailed them ('production team') twice 10 days apart to find out if it was going ahead and got no response. 3 days before pencilled dates production emailed to say they had location issues due to Covid. Perfectly understandable but a little more of a heads up would have been nice. Replied to the email and asked if they had a rough idea of future dates . . . no reply again. But they were still posting on instagram. 2 weeks goes by and we suddenly get an email telling us there will be a photoshoot for global PR in 4 days time (Tue 13th) and will email a schedule later that day. Took them an extra day to email basically the same thing but telling us we need to provide our own tuxedos and make sure our hair is like our headshots (again the hair thing is usually not an issue) BUT we have been in lockdown, Monday will be the first day hairdressers are open for almost 3.5 months and they gave us no notice. Plus they are assuming everyone just owns a tuxedo (luckily I do) but still. On top of sloppy communication, the script is littered with typos. There's one in the first line ffs. If it were one or two I would brush it aside but there seems to be a lack of care throughout. It all seems very unorganised and they just keep 'dangling the carrot' with no real commitment to when filming will start and expect us just to wait. I feel I can't keep turning down crew jobs on much bigger films just to be in my first indie feature as an actor. There's a couple more things that have been bit of a red flag but the poor script and lack of any real communication or even response are the main ones. Opinions? What are some other red flags?
I heard that your supposed to let it flow naturally. But it’s hard because I wanna look convincing. I keep on judging my acting and saying “do this, raise your tone, don’t raise your eyebrows” etc. it’s good to be self aware but I think I’m overdoing and as a result can’t move last a few lines. I’m practicing at home by myself btw. How do you create the fine line between improving your take & nitpicking every small thing? It’s actually driving me crazy. Bonus question: how to cry? The most I can get is watery eyes.
Hello! I am an actor and I hope to be moving to NYC soon. I have been looking at the FILM life over there and I feel like it constantly goes back to LA. I feel like NYC has defenitely has been a theatre place although I have looked through Backstage so many times and there are a lot of film oppurtunities. Yet nobody talks about it. If there are any Actors in NYC that can shed light on what its like being a Film Actor in NYC that would be greatly appreciated. I havent seen anyone talk about it. I know there must be a lot of competition any tips? What are Agents like in NYC? etc. etc. anything you can tell us would be amazing. Thank you so much!
Hello, I'm not a voice actor, but I am trying to record a voice over narration. I read out the script, and a couple days later I needed to punch in to fix some parts. The problem is, my voice is like 2 octaves lower today for some reason. No matter how hard I try I can't get it to match the original recording It sounds like 2 different people lol. Well idk if anyone here deals with this but I hope I can get some insight
Hello, looking for someone to help me with a small project. I need someone to read a quick 1-2 minute thing for me. I've never used this subreddit before, and don't know the prices, but we can discuss that! Please message me. Looking specifically for a male voice, preferably someone that can do a NY accent, British accent, but not required. I would also like to hear some samples. Thanks! Looking forward to hearing from some people soon.
As an aspiring should you have social media? I deleted all my social media about a year ago and haven't been on since. I just want to know if its a must have for a aspiring actor?
For those who are unfamiliar..[https://corp.castingnetworks.com/la/concierge/](https://corp.castingnetworks.com/la/concierge/) I'm not looking for information about this service..I'm just wondering where they get the ever-fucking audacity to ask actors for \*$150 A MONTH\* for this bullshit...

I'm a screenwriter, and I'm gonna get the chance to show my contact at CAA what I can do. So I'm dusting off an old project that I think is pretty funny. The thing is, I don't want him to actually have to read it or do any of that hard imagination stuff. So I'm cobbling together an epic pandemic-safe, remotely recorded table read so that this guy can just lazy his way through the story while he's in traffic. ​ "But Brian, why do I care if you get to pitch your stupid thing? What's in it for me? Great question. I can't offer you money or fame. Because you'll be working remotely from home, I won't even be providing the normal stuff like a bathroom. That said, this is a business of relationships, and I'm trying to put a team of funny people who can get projects rolling. If you think the script is funny, then you may as well submit your take, if for no other reason than to sharpen your comedy chops. You'll get a copy of the final cut of the audio when we're done, and you'll finally get to add some VO work to your resume. Also, I'll get you in and out in two hours, and we'll be recording remotely so you can do the whole thing in your pajamas. ​ Here's the show: A fraudulent banker is forced to atone for his crimes when a foreclosed property comes back to \*\*haunt\*\* him. ​ You can find the roles and sides \[here\]([https://talent.lacasting.com/DirectCast/ViewRole.aspx?crypt=gkpolhaoieooccndmfojfbgdgnmaieelfldd&fbclid=IwAR2vyhngcHns7eHIDcDHOzNsnmkeW3\_sxruTmR\_-UHPNvzowf4hfhvJcaEw](https://talent.lacasting.com/DirectCast/ViewRole.aspx?crypt=gkpolhaoieooccndmfojfbgdgnmaieelfldd&fbclid=IwAR2vyhngcHns7eHIDcDHOzNsnmkeW3_sxruTmR_-UHPNvzowf4hfhvJcaEw)). ​ \[Sides for Mike\]([https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HXoASB2CWRUy\_Pg1ytdcH6gCIpmIBomO/view?usp=sharing](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HXoASB2CWRUy_Pg1ytdcH6gCIpmIBomO/view?usp=sharing)) \[Sides for Shea\]([https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gyV91YcNcWDbB6w2hjsvb8ch6Iu0qPIB/view?usp=sharing](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gyV91YcNcWDbB6w2hjsvb8ch6Iu0qPIB/view?usp=sharing)) \[Sides for Harvey\]([https://drive.google.com/file/d/1myaZprBSsi7hwmkxWl0okKW2umDEIDcw/view?usp=sharing](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1myaZprBSsi7hwmkxWl0okKW2umDEIDcw/view?usp=sharing)) \[Sides for Malaxor\]([https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YSlS0sShM0NaSvY\_5FjU17hAdVnxv2mL/view?usp=sharing](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YSlS0sShM0NaSvY_5FjU17hAdVnxv2mL/view?usp=sharing)) ​ ​ ​ If you're down to submit, just send an audio file (preferably mp3 please!) to repossessedpreviz@gmail.com.

I'm just wondering if there's anything specific beyond the usual travel documents, or if there's a specific visa involved, etc. ​ Most of my search results have been about international actors coming to the US so I thought I'd ask where I might find that info. Thanks!
**NOTE: Link to download the app from the Google Play Store is in the comments!** If you're an actor worth your salt then you should already be intimately familiar with the idea of attaching *verbs / intentions* to your beats, or in other words **how you are going to get what you want** from your scene partner(s). This app serves as a reference to help you make stronger choices for your verbs and should be used as a complement to your scene analysis. The app features 300+ verbs and all are categorized by their general intent (loving, manipulative, etc). There are books which serve the same general purpose (e.g. *Actions The Actors' Thesaurus*), but the best part about this app is that it's totally **free**! There is a small ad at the bottom but it is non-intrusive. Let me know what you all think, I welcome all feedback!
Hi! As said by the title, I was wondering if anyone can be a voice actor. I want to try voice acting because of my love of videogames (League, Overwatch, Atelier, etc.) and I always really adored the voice acting in them. I think I don't have a great voice though.
If you haven't heard of him, he has done so much and helped so many, his 'audition ready online course' is so, so helpful to voice actors who want to understand their tech and not feel overwhelmed about eq, compression, mixing- the lot, and have their audio to a professional standard. I found his video on EQ and was hooked immediately. He helped me set up my audio chain and it made such a world of difference. He is one of the most respected audio guys in the industry and lives to help others. Anyway here is the link to the fundraiser if you are able to donate. Here is the EQ video that made me seek out this wonderful teacher. https://youtu.be/ltKUTjjESeQ Here is go fund me link https://www.gofundme.com/f/2c35trp8uo?member=9948558&sharetype=teams&utm_campaign=p_na+share-sheet&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=customer Thanks guys.
So the whole goal with acting is to make what you’re saying seem natural right. What if you have a script that is terrible? Should a good actor still make the lines seem natural? Or are some scripts just so unnatural that even a good actor wouldn’t be able to make them sound good? I’d love to hear any thoughts.
I've heard of [Voice Actor Websites](https://www.voiceactorwebsites.com/), but I'm curious if y'all have recommendations for any other similar service providers?

Realistically... which one is more realizable?
I am a writer, and I am struggling to imagine a sound of voice for a particular main character. I thought I would hire a voice actor to read a few lines so I can get a better audio picture of him. However, I don’t know much about the business side of voice acting. I don’t want to cheat anyone, but I am TERRIBLE at business/pricing. How much would be a good amount to offer a voice actor for a few lines? Thanks!
Bizparentz, a long standing nonprofit dedicated to helping youth in the entertainment industry, has revamped their entire website and it is a wealth of information. Might I suggest the "How to Avoid Scams" page as a starting point!!! [https://www.bizparentz.org/new-to-the-biz/safety-and-scams/](https://www.bizparentz.org/new-to-the-biz/safety-and-scams/)
So I'm an Indian guy, still a freshman. I want to be an actor, I'm going to Drama, and I'm gonna continue to try to pursue acting as a career. My parents are typical indian parents: they want me to study even if I am pursuing acting. I'm 15, and I have a goal of submitting self tapes when I'm around 16-16 and a half. My parents say that even if I land a role, I gotta finish school, college and all. Their ideology is that I need to have a "backup" plan just in case acting doesn't working in the long term. They said that even if I become an actor, I'm gonna have a hard time landing a lot of roles. Not in terms of skill, but because of my race. To some point, I agree with them. You don't see many Indians landing too many "niche" roles in the Movie industry. Y'know, like action movies, comedy, sci-fi, etc. I just don't know what to do. I want to keep going forward with my goal, but my parents are right, to some extent. Any advice would be much appreciated, and thanks for taking the time to read all of this.
Hi everyone, Apologies if there's anything wrong with this post, as this is my first time posting something here. If there is, please let me know. This is a casting call for a short virtual, recorded Zoom performance called "Where the Light Gets In." It is a student-written and directed piece for an Introduction to Directing class project at the Claremont Colleges. Rehearsals will be once a week until the end of April. The performance will be in the first week of May. Sides can be found here: [https://docs.google.com/.../1pKaiXzAEU58i7drcIKXE.../edit...](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pKaiXzAEU58i7drcIKXEtdgkRu7tvqHOrD6VZa9tO1E/edit?usp=sharing&fbclid=IwAR1F1yEEorCBpCw2_cbXTQDwptWfZ2bc0JL4bOAgodKz-URM9RScJlp5PAw).No need to be memorized. Please send a video of your audition by 10 pm PDT Tuesday (4.13.2021) to [cfoster5539@scrippscollege.edu](mailto:cfoster5539@scrippscollege.edu) and submit this form ([https://forms.gle/WGZp6R6CpPMo2EYi7](https://forms.gle/WGZp6R6CpPMo2EYi7?fbclid=IwAR1R-Ht-2-ZWb0Gi-gJpGdxvETjJyEV9BZMbR3BpVTesVb317NayOEgQ-dk)). We will get back to you by Thursday (4.15.2021), and rehearsals should start by the week of 4.19.2021. Synopsis: The play centers on a woman in college and her relationship with her dad as she deals with lupus and other health complications. It opens with the two FaceTiming each other and her struggling to get out of bed. Character descriptions: Ella: (age: 18-30) a woman with lupus in her last semester of college. She loves music and has recently been told some terrible news. **Actors with similar lived experiences to Ella are highly encouraged to audition.** Robert: (age: 40 to late 60s) father to Ella. A light-hearted character who struggles with not being able to help his daughter while she is away at college. These are both paid roles, although I sincerely apologize because I am not exactly sure what the rate is yet. I hope to update this post tomorrow with that information. Please let me know if you have any questions.
