Hey everyone I am new to the subreddit, growing up I took multiple acting and improv classes as an adult I have 2 years work experience as a scare actor where ive gotten to do lots of character development and voice acting. I have been told I have a very good facial structure and jaw to act or model I am getting headshots done soon, but what should I do from here? What should be my next step from trying to transition from a scare actor to a real actor? Any advice is appreciated friends!
Hey everyone I am new to this subreddit and am intrested in doing voice acting the past two years Ive been a scare actor and it has provided plenty of opportunities to get to voice act for certain characters for example mine tonight had a very deep southern Louisiana accent and I nailed it where should I go from here to get proper training and gettinv started looking for roles? Any advice is appreciated!
I've been struggling my whole life when it comes to reading and i'm really struggling on the theory side of acting. i'm 5 weeks in my Acting course and It's a 3 year course squished into 2 years. I've booked in to see a psychiatrist about it. I'm just worried that this medication will effect my performance Long term as I'm committed to doing this fulltime for the rest of my life! I've also done a complete detox from distractions like Social Media, Gaming, Youtube etc.. for about 10 weeks hoping it'll help me to concentrate but i'm still struggling.. :( Just wondering how anyone elses experience with ADHD that's in this field. Thank you
Ok, let’s be honest headshot disasters are pretty common – more so than you’d think. I'm a headshot photographer in London and I talk to casting directors on a regular basis, and in that time I’ve heard about several headshot disasters that occur over and over again! In this article, I’m going to explain 6 headshot disasters to avoid and how doing so will improve your opportunities for more auditions and more work. I thought it would be a good idea to go over some of the most common headshot disasters here. 1. – Headshot Disaster no.1 – Your headshot doesn’t look like you. 2. – Headshot Disaster no.2 – Your headshot is a bank and bland. 3. – Headshot Disaster no.3 – Face acting / overacting. 4. – Headshot Disaster no.4 – Distractions – background, jewellery, clothing. 5. – Headshot Disaster no.5 – Too much comedy. 6. – Headshot Disaster no.6 – Too much sexuality. And as you read these disasters ask yourself these questions about your headshot; * Does my headshot look like me as I am now? * What’s the message my headshot is sending? * Could it be better, what can I improve? * Is your headshot dated, are your clothes, hairstyle and style of photography old-fashioned? * Am I connecting with the viewer, are my eyes alive? ### Headshot Disaster no.1 – Your headshot doesn’t look like you! [How's that for a toupé?](https://preview.redd.it/qsfomxb2jzw91.jpg?width=267&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0639304a33791424254ef8204139962de7976791) I’ve heard this time and time again, the number one complaint from casting directors is; when an actor walks into the audition room they don’t look like the headshot they submitted. Wow! Can you imagine that? What a waste of time, both your time and more importantly the time of the casting director and their team! A big no-no! Why do actors do it? Well, there can be many reasons from laziness in updating their headshot, to not being aware of how they look now. And, a real or more likely, imaginary concert about the way they look. I don’t look 30 anymore… and the resulting fear they’ll be no more opportunities anymore. What a load of rubbish, there are acting roles for every age! As a headshot photographer for almost 30 years, I’ve dealt with just about every possible insecurity known to men or women when shooting headshots. I’ve had men whose hair is thinning on top ask me to fill it in and give them a lush head of hair. Men and women who wanted to look younger, less haggard or less tired. I’ve had requests to remove double chins, wrinkles, bags, and scars, you name it and an actor has usually asked to have me ‘Photoshop it’. ### It’s not fare The wear and tear of everyday life has an effect on the body, late work nights, too many parties, excessive drinking and smoking all leave their marks on our faces – it’s who we are. We should be happy about the way we look, it reflects the lives we have lived. It’s all part of our very own characters and therefore our castability. One of my jobs as a headshot photographer is to advise my clients on how to achieve a successful headshot, sometimes that advice can be tough to hear. But it’s tough love – I want you to score more auditions and book more work. However, knowing who you are and accepting your look is key to a successful headshot and can sometimes be tough to accept. But when you do it opens new doors and opportunities. You should embrace who you are. Understanding who you are as an actor and accepting the roles you are suitable to play based on the way you look is a big step forward. Shooting headshots to suit those characters and those roles will ensure you are pitching yourself at the right type of roles. It’s also helping you to avoid some of the more common headshot disasters. Therefore roles you are more like to be asked to audition for. Make sure you avoid the wrath of a casting director by submitting a headshot that looks like you do, not your younger sister or brother. Look out for Headshot Disaster no.2 coming soon.
I moved away from my favourite casual/short course acting school and am half tempted to try to recreate it. It was a place where you had to submit your CV to do any of their courses and workshops and I loved that concept because it meant that it wasn't an awkward mix of newbies and experienced actors. I got to work with a brilliant dramaturg, had working actors as teachers, and did some great accent classes. So for those who are currently working/auditioning, what sort of class would be your ideal class to join? One that challenges you? Keeps you fresh for auditions?
I am making a show/ series on YT called "Vodka County" I need voice actors for main character Vodka and the background characters if anyone wants to for free Dm me
I have a screenplay that I have submitted to a producer who is keen on the piece. I have already indicated that I intend to play the lead. This, will most certainly be one of many obstacles to getting this over the line. Now, I am a professional actor with plenty of experience but I'm far from being a named actor. I am also naive when it comes to approaching producers hence my question. Is it a good idea to have a few workshopped scenes ( self tape/ rehearsal studio) on the ready should they come back and have reservations on my casting?Or is this amateurish etc?(Let's aaume the acting is good)
I’m planning on finding representation in LA is there any agency’s any of y’all recommend for a actor starting out? Specially for theatrical representation/ commercial
I'm hoping to get some suggestions for a scene from a theater play. The criteria I need to meet is: * 7-10 minute length * 3 male actors (It's ok if a given actor plays more than one character, but there needs to be an obvious point for the role swap). Actors are 20's, 40's and 50's, but it isn't a huge deal if they have to play something outside their age group. * Each actor needs to have significant stage time - that is, the 3rd can't be a single incidental character (them playing multiple characters over the course of the scene is fine) * Public domain or available very inexpensively (educational use only - not for performance) This is for an acting class assignment that requires a 7-10 minute scene with 2 classmates who are both male. I can find scenes, but finding matching length is a challenge and I simply don't have the breadth of play knowledge to pull ideas out of thin air. I was able to find some interesting duologues when it was going to be just me and one other actor, but an additional actor was placed in the mix and now I'm struggling for a fit. This isn't for production use - it will be an in class only thing. I do not, however, mind paying a small fee for a script I know will meet the need. At the moment, my only candidate is a scene from A Midsummer's Night Dream, but we'd like to go with something more modern. Suggestions are appreciated!
Basically the title. On the day I wrapped my two day shoot, an actor friend told me to prepare myself for potentially being cut from the episode. Without giving away too much detail, it’s a small role that adds fluff to the episode but isn’t entirely necessary for the overall plot. I’d maybe get 2-3 minutes of screen time. I guess I’d just realistically like to know how often a cut like this happens. The episode I’m in was also supposed to have aired a few weeks ago but was pushed back to a later aire date, so now my thoughts are really running away with me about re-casts and re-shoots. I’m also still not credited on the IMDb for the episode, although other guest stars are. This was my first legit credit and I was so excited about it. I know this is a reality of this business and I’ve been preparing myself for the worst. It’ll just be a huge bummer.
Despite being called in to audition for roles , will casting/production not move forward with an actor with no representation who has a good audition?
Would acting be good preparation for this field
Guys this is not an usual question here… but I just want to hear the opinions of my fellow actors and actresses.
Hello actors! I am part of the Cinematic Arts and Production Club at UC Berkeley and I am looking for talent for one of our upcoming short films titled "To Bits". The film is about a med student who is overwhelmed by work, school, relationship, and the failing health of his father to the point where he LITERALLY begins to fall apart. \*This is an unpaid gig that is not for profit (food and snacks will be provided though!). We are a group of passionate filmmakers who would love to work with equally passionate actors from the Bay Area. Please check out our casting call on google forms for more info! tinyurl.com/tobits2022 Feel free to comment any questions!
Hi! I've made a little movie that has a bunch of folks on a bus and I found I needed some people talking lowly in the background to get some "bigger feel" for the universe we're in. I need this ASAP so either male or female. Script below. Supposed to be a Mexican person. FEMALE: Hello father (papa, etc)! I made it, I got into Los Angeles, it's crazy out here. I can't wait to see you and the family again. How much I miss Michoacan (Tijuana, Rosarito, Mexico City, Cuernavaca, one of those cities). Father, so many fake as fuck people here though, lots of money making opportunities though. I got a job doing housekeeping for a rich white family. It pays $250 a week! Anyone can make that out here too. Maybe I'll be an actor too? hahaha. Oh, gotta go, this is my bus stop and I'm going home. Love you so much! MALE: Hello father (papa, etc)! I made it, I got into Los Angeles, it's crazy out here. I can't wait to see you and the family again. How much I miss Michoacan (Tijuana, Rosarito, Mexico City, Cuernavaca, one of those cities). Father, so many fake as fuck people here though, lots of white women with fake ass titties too, but lots of money making opportunities you know? I got a job doing construction. It pays $250 a week! Anyone can make that out here too. Maybe I'll be an actor too? hahaha. Oh, gotta go, this is my bus stop and I'm going home. Love you so much!
Use this thread to post your headshots for feedback, get info on your age range/type, find good headshot photographers, ask any questions you may have about headshots. If you are posting a DIY headshot for feedback, and not just a snapshot in order to get feedback on your age range/type/etc, it is advised that you do at least some basic research on what actor headshots look like--composition, framing, lighting. You will find a Google Image search for "actor headshots" to be very helpful for this. Non-professional shots are fine for age/typecasting; please keep in mind that one picture is a difficult way to go about this. Video of you moving and speaking would be ideal, but understandably more difficult to post. ​ For what it's worth, the branding workshop at SAG-AFTRA recommends a five-year age range. That's inclusive, so for example 19-23, 25-29, 34-38, etc.
This voice blows my mind and is such a great choice. I think I bought the phone just because of that voice. It is so insisting, straightforwardly fragile and demanding at the same time. I really need to know who it is. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FT3ODSg1GFE&t=2s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FT3ODSg1GFE&t=2s) Thanks for your inputs!

Matt Harrigan, writer and voice actor for some adult swim shows, is currently trending #1 on behindthevoiceactors. i checked his profile and he's not in any new stuff, so why is he trending? https://preview.redd.it/ym2r39ktdew91.jpg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fe32f7fef16048dbc6e707c03848c529a6b50ce4
I am starting out with acting (and that is what I REALLY would like to do) but I also have an interest in casting. Would it be bad if I were to do both? Is it a conflict of interest if I put myself out there as an actor while also being a casting associate (something more part-time). I currently have minimal involvement in both but I was just curious bc I appreciate the art of both disciplines but would never want to jeopardize my future as an actor.
I’m looking for someplace that runs seminars where actors can get in front of agents and managers. I know ‘pay to play’ situations are a little sketchy, but I’ve found some helpful information from them. I know Actors Connection is legit, but they operate mostly on the east coast. I’d like to meet a manager on the west coast. For context, I’m a Canadian actor who’s looking to get representation in the states. I’ve studied in NYC for a bit, but it’s been 7 years since I’ve lived stateside. I’ve met with some agents who were interested, until they heard I was Canadian. I met a Canadian actor who regularly works both sides of the border, and she advised me to find a manager first.
Hi all! I’ve been encountering a good amount of voice over auditions that aren’t very clear about how they’d like the tape to be recorded. When a film/tv audition doesn’t give specific instructions, I always just default to a simple slate followed by a single take of the sides with an off screen reader, as is standard. Is there a “standard” way of doing a VO self tape? Is it necessary to have a reader? Do you still include a slate? I intuitively figured a WAV or MP3 would be the correct format, but the more that I think about it, with modern smartphones, a video is actually arguably an easier process to record/submit (this is for studio work, not work from home, so actors’ aren’t required to have their own audio equipment). Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!
So I’m about to be 26. I worked as a server pre pandemic but now I’m a freelance independent contractor. I teach kids. I don’t get benefits from it. Does actors equity have insurance? Does SAG?
Boy boy, where to start. Hi I’m an arab actress. When I watch tv, the only thing I see are white people or mixed race. I never see any of my ethnicity. This doesn’t give me any hope. Really unfortunate. They could’ve casted a beautiful unknown arab actress for chani in dune but instead they casted zendaya and a bunch of black and light skinned people for the fremen. and this is the problem that we are facing, we arabs and Mena actors are replaced with light skinned people or Indian bc hollywood still sees us as the same. It really frustrates me.
I’m applying for a child’s actor permit one of the requirements is for a parents signature and photo ID. What if you’re emancipated?
I’m in a really weird situation with them and was hoping to chat with some FL based actors to see if this normal/worth the hassle.
Hey NYC actors! I have a request for a voiceover self-tape and am still in the process of compiling my materials/equipment for voiceover things. I was wondering if anyone knows of any studios in the city that have cheap-ish rental rates for voiceover recordings, or if I could rent from someone on here and possibly use their equipment. Thanks!
I'm wanting to go into Voice Acting/youtubing/streaming/ and i plan on making a game which i definitely wont be able to afford voice actors for. I wondering what Microphone to get, all I know is the AVOID blue yeti's Yes there's YouTube videos on this, but that's One guys opinions that might be getting swayed by sponsors and stuff, and every video is saying different microphones. So first, What's a good budget one like <$150, and then what's a good one at a more normal price >$150<$800?
To be clear, I’ve got a BFA, and an agent and a manager. I live in NYC. I’m doing okay as an actor, getting some jobs here and there. I really just want to be in a war movie so bad tho you got no idea. like I just want to be in a ww1 or ww2 movie- what stuff can I do to pivot my way into a room where they audition for that stuff? Is there a particular CD in nyc that specializes in that kinda stuff?
Since it’s the digital age, it seems that nowadays you can land a role just by applying to roles through casting apps. I’ve heard of people get roles this way, but would having an agent be better for landing roles than not having an agent and just using apps?
My complete failure at getting paid work in this 'self-tape' era has now metastasized into depression over my career in general...and it started off so well. However, I now have a new lens through which to see it. In the Summer of 2017, having been back in 'the biz' for a year, got two theatre plays on my resume, a couple of Indies and being repped by one of the bigger names in Vancouver, I got three Hallmark/TV Movie gigs within 6 weeks of each other. I realized that the second one was Union, so asked for details of the other 2. They all were, so I had enough credits for Union membership, even though my Agent tried to discourage me. 5 years later and I have worked 3 days on set and in the last 2 years I haven't even had a callback. I have now heard anecdotally that Agents are getting kickbacks from Production outside of their usual commission for casting non-U actors in U productions (Damn Hollywood). It is clear to me, now, that the only reason I got that busy 2017 Summer was because of this reason. So, I have no skill, right? However, there are another 20 credits on my CV of Indie, theatre (some leads here, too.), web projects, etc. so I CAN offer something to someone. Just not anything that pays. Just something that is more than '1 line, 1 scene' appearances for a fee on a larger project. No appearances, hardly any CV entries of 'note', no career progression, just paying Union fees and doing passion projects. Perhaps it's all been a waste of time?
I'm looking for a voice actor that can do a male, seedy, criminal-like voice acting gig over the phone preferably a native English speaker. Most accents are welcome and accepted it's under 100 words. I don't have much to pay <$20 (If it's reasonable I can negotiate). Send me your Fiverr Links to ensure fair pay and etc. (context for the gig: A local drug dealer has lost his bosses stash and is reporting what was lost(in a defeated tone).) ​ Thank you to all who submit I plan on doing an entire series of this so future work may be available. Thank you again.
I need to do a pantomime in front of my classmates tomorrow for school. My pantomime outline is basically a skit where I kill a guy with a shovel and bury the body using the shovel. I’m a pretty decent actor so I decided to challenge myself but this is too much. I have already performed this in front of my class once and I hated my story and got a bad score for rushing through it. I need a new story that is between 1-3 minutes long and some actions to spice things up a bit. I have already tried doing many different kinds of stories, but because my outline is so specific I end up making it way too long and my audience (my sister) said it was hard to understand and keep track of everything going on. I only have one last chance, so I’ve decided to go to Reddit. If you decide to lend me a helping hand, then thank you so much!
I have local agents that submit me for local commercials and stuff, but I really want a NYC agent or someone who can get me co-star roles in TV shows. I am SAG-eligible and had a recurring role on a SAG series, a co-star role in two nonunion shows, and have had speaking roles in 5 feature-length films and some commercials. I have professional and updated headshots and a reel, and I always write a brief but professional cover letters the times I have submitted to agencies. I also tried to NYsubmit feature on Actors Access maybe 10 times but never heard anything. Does anyone have any advice? edit: title should have been high level agent
I read that I need to get a letter from my school saying I’m in good health and have good grades to get an acting permit. I have a couple questions for that. Can I ask my school therapist or does it have to be a principle or someone from the school district? Does mental health count or are they only talking about physical health? I’m in a smaller class for social anxiety, panic attacks, and cptsd and I’m worried if that would damage my application. There are only about 4-5 other students and a couple adults. I also have independent study so I don’t get to see my grades. Would that affect it? Thank you!
Recently, one of my cast mates and an actor who I’ve been in several shows with commented that I’m a very “technical actor.” He’s said this a couple times in the past. I don’t remember for sure if he said I’m the most technical actor he knows, but it wouldn’t surprise me if did. This one time, I said to one of my directors that I think I’d be good at stage combat, which she agreed to, saying that stage combat is very technical, which she said is what I am. Anyway, what does “technical” mean in this context? What does being a “technical actor” mean? Is it bad? Does it have any advantages over being any other kind of actor?
I am starting a full-time role at a remote company to help finance my life in LA. While looking over the offer contract, I noticed that they have a part about not being able to work/do business with any other entity unless there is written consent from this company I'm about to join--do you think I would need to disclose that I am signed with a talent agent and will be working when I can? I was not going to disclose my acting career at all because currently, I don't see it being an issue with the work being fully remote and fairly flexible hours. I would bring that up if and when it actually becomes an issue such as if I book a series regular role on a series and would not be able to work at all. ​ Actors with full-time jobs at companies, did you disclose your acting pursuit to the company your working for?
I really want to pursue acting (screen specifically) but I'm super lost. Some things I read say not to waste money on schooling, then other things I read say you'll struggle to find work without schooling. I've tried to have a look at casting calls but I have no clue what I'm reading. Then I see some people saying you can't get work without an agent but you also can't get an agent with no experience? Long story short - I am TOTALLY lost. I've been looking at courses at AFTT and Sydney Actors School... Is one school better than the other? Should I be looking at other schools? Should I look at schools in the USA? I feel so jumbled. Just thought I would reach out on here to get some insight and advice from the people who know way more about this stuff than me and actually have experience. There's no one else I can really talk to about my options. Family hasn't been that supportive as I'm in my mid-20s and I know in their heart they would prefer if I was already settled in a "traditional career". I've really tried to find a "traditional career" that makes my heart sing as much as acting and singing (I'm a BMus graduate and post covers online that do semi-decent, but nothing major) and I can't. And I think I would be really silly not to give it a real shot before accepting otherwise.
Ok this question is always in my mind , jogia played leon s Kennedy in resident evil welcome to raccoon city And received lots of negative opinion from people , some said no matter how much of a good actor you are, atleast you must look like the character So my question is how much ethnicity plays a role in acting such characters or comic characters do you think a white character can be played by another ethnicity ( important: this question is based on to get only logical feedback from you guys , this is not to create hate or something ) Thank you !
One thing I’ve realized is that I’m very good at unscripted scenes. I really don’t wanna sound like I’m bragging here, rather get you to understand me, but in my Meisner beginning and intermediate I was without a doubt the teachers favorite. Until scripted scenes came around, in which I dropped out for other reasons but my last two weeks was rough. Anywhere I’ve gone where I don’t need to worry about any lines to remember and can just live in the moment I essay at. But as soon a script with lines come in…I feel like I’m mediocre. I murder the scenes by rehearsing, rehearsing, rehearsing and then rehearsing a little more. The words are now nothing but robotic words memorized and the living has died. If I do cold reading of any type, such as table read where I’ve had time to work on the character, completely free from having to memorize, I’m great. I even got a role in a big movie off of that. But I would change all of that to be great at learning lines, trusting it and just live it out without overthinking or have murdered the scenes. When I improv, I don’t think about “okay next line is”. I’m more just truly in the scene, it’s the best feeling. I don’t need to think “oh that actor is gonna say something now that’s gonna break your heart, be prepared”-ish. Even if I know the improve scene is leaning that way, I’m still free and never worry about planning anything ahead. I take it second by second, taking everything in without any stress. I’ve done acting a while so it’s not a “with time you’ll get better” (which I do believe it’ll get better, but it’s been way too many years waiting for Godot). I manage to get away with it somehow when I get roles. But I feel like an imposter.
I am a teenager (M14) who is gonna start theater even though people tell me i dont need it because i am talented, i have a nice face and love acting so i decided to do it to get better at it, but in my country ac4ing isnt very popular and wont get me far, what should i do? (Excuse me for any grammatical mistakes i may have made since English isnt my first language)
I am 21, almost 22, and I’m looking to stray away from the typical 5-day work week and do something different, unique, and impactful. Two of the major ideas that I brainstormed were acting and voice acting. I would love to become an actor, but quite frankly I don’t feel that I have the confidence to appear on screen (plus I am in a very rural area that does not have many opportunities). This brought me to research voice acting and I fell down a bit of a rabbit hole lol. To keep from rambling on too long, I was wondering if some of the more experienced voice actors could list their primary pros and cons to the industry and what makes it such a difficult industry to be successful in. If anyone wants to leave some beginner tips for me as well I would be very grateful. I’ve not had any prior theatre or drama courses, but I am in no way opposed to taking classes/courses that do not cost a fortune. Thank you all in advance!!
Relatively new actor here, just got on TalentLink / Actors Access this morning and got a couple of messages from agents and managers about representation. I set up a few meetings for later this week, but what should I expect from these? How do I vet agencies to make sure they're legit? What should I be looking out for when choosing my first agent or manager? For context, I'm 22yo and non-union - just graduated from college, only have a couple of theatre credits and one student film. I look young (range is 16-22) and am a minority. Currently training at a two-year Meisner conservatory in NYC, but don't know that many other working actors yet so not sure what to expect.
​ Howdy, sorry if this breaks the rules. I am an Australian Animator who is wanting to work with an Australian voice actor with is familiar with the AFL. I want to pay for this work but I’m unsure how to calculate the rates. I read the rules which say *PAID Work posts MUST include specific pay rates and terms. You must include the amount being paid, the currency, and terms under which you will be paying.* However I don't know what pay rates & terms are standard/ acceptable. I don't want to offer somebody 10% of what they are worth out of ignorance My script will be around 3 minutes, with 3 or 4 characters. Is there a rate calculator that I can use?
i feel like i just don’t have it “in me” to be a great actor no matter how much i try and train :( feeling dissatisfied with all my audition tapes and never hopeful they’re good enough to book a role. the more i tape and try to perfect it, the less organic it looks and the worse the tape gets. yet even my best tries aren’t good enough and I know there’s a spark missing in my performance
i'm a junior in high school and ive been thinking about the classes i might wanna take for senior year, and i was wondering if i should bother with any AP classes. im taking ap psychology and ap csp this year, was thinking about ap calc or ap physics for next year, but idk why i would stress myself out if i won't need it in my career as an actor? do i even take a math class next year? i don't have to if i don't want to since i have enough math credits already. i guess im just preparing myself for the chance that i change my mind and want to go a different career, even tho ive been set on being an actor since i was like 12
I know some actors have 1 legit agent and 1 commercial. Is it possible to have 1 legit in LA and another legit in NY?

Shes an l.a. actress who moved back home. She always has tons of new scenes to do. She doesn't say shes a teacher but only a coach. Shes usually very nice and accommodating... I asked if she does self tapes. She said yes. I go. She even invites me to do a free class on her. She ends class early to help me shoot. I say its no big deal i can wait or come back later. She offers it no problem. I get set up. I say i need to get my mic. She said phone will pick it up. She seems kinda like shes rushing me. We begin doing takes. Im having trouble connecting..she tells her friend, whos waiting for her (im guessing?)to be my person im talking to. Do a great two takes (as requested) and thank everyone and leave. I look at it later- The reader, another friend/actor, read it too loud and all you can hear is him. I email her explaining everything. Asking to pay half. Get an email two weeks later. She emailed back offering to record on her iphone.. I responded its fine. I ended up doing a new version at home. Can we meet in middle for payment? She said ok but i ended my class early for you and you were in it. So you owe me for class and taping session plus three people helped you..something close to 90. Right now im offering 30 because the friend who helped, wasnt part of the deal, the reader read really loud on camera, she obviously has no interest in actually setting up proper recording session. She seems like a well connected person and usually nice and very accommodating but this whole reaction from her is weird. Thoughts?
