Hey actors! I’m really just getting started in this crazy business and excited to see wherever it takes me. I’m in my 20s and in my 3rd month of classes. When did you start feeling like you were good enough to start auditioning for roles, even just background work? Or even feel like you could call yourself an actor?
Hello, all! I am relatively new to the VO community, only having begun in January of 2022. I have a simple home studio and I have been producing auditions for work over the last 7 or 8 months. During that time, I have been utilizing Voices.com for my auditions and job search, submitting auditions and looking for work. In all this time, I have only yielded 2 jobs total. While I am extremely appreciative of getting a paid start to my VO career, I’d like to branch out and find new sites/places to search for jobs, auditions, and the like. I’ve done some research, but it seems like no two blogs or sites agree on the best places to start. So, I wanted to reach out to people in the community directly. I know that getting started in voiceover is difficult and I need to distinguish myself from the crowd, but I’m looking for a good avenue to do that. Where is a good place to look for work as a beginning voice actor? Are there hubs or sites like Voices.com that yield similar results? What have you used in the past? Any tips and tricks? Thank you!
I am an actor who recently joined sag-aftra. I am currently trying to get representation. I have all the materials like headshots resume a reel, and I have an extensive resume + training from college. (I have only done professional/paying work since I graduated about a year ago. But have been acting since I was in elementary school.) I have been submitting to many sag-franchised agencies over the past month and am continuing to do so. I haven’t heard anything back yet + have only received about 5 views on my reel when I have submitted to many more agencies than that. For NYC actors, what agents are you with? Any thoughts on the best ones for someone in my position? How long did it take for you to hear back after submitting? Did you even submit or did you get signed some other way? Did you follow up or get in contact some other way than a general submission? Lots of questions but any advice or thoughts would be so much appreciated!
Been feeling so stuck lately and hopeless after a reputable CD told me this is just what it is. I signed with my first agent Jan 1st of this year, 10 days later had an audition for a co star and booked it. The show just came out and was the most watched streaming series for Hulu. I havent had an audition since January 10th. WTF? I'm nyc based but I'm submitted in LA as well as NYC. I got a submission report, and I'm getting submitted daily (even to Telsey who booked me in January) and I've never had an audition. My agent knows im frustrated and suggested new pics, but I just got new pics before I signed with them in December. I'm looking into new headshots but they are so expensive and it feels like throwing spaghetti at the wall right now. I thought things would get easier, but I feel like even less of an actor this year than when i was unrepped and doing student films for free. I dont think im owed anything or im some future movie star, but I thought I'd at least start getting an audition a month or something. Its also been such a weird experience having people congratulate me and ask whats next (or even be surprised I still work at restaurant) cuz they think im way more successful than I am. Has anyone gone through this? I'm looking into new headshots and maybe some casting director workshops but I just feel so defeated. Happy to send my AA account for feedback to any professionals who think they could help.
Hey there, I'm an aspiring actor and I stay in Michigan. I was thinking of saving to move to L.A but before I leave my family and friends to peruse my dreams (I have a job I can take with me anywhere btw) would it be possible to stay in Michigan and do this and get roles for out there? Or would it be wise to move to cali instead. I know backstage exist but would that be enough? Thanks for any advice in advance
Use this thread to post your headshots for feedback, get info on your age range/type, find good headshot photographers, ask any questions you may have about headshots. If you are posting a DIY headshot for feedback, and not just a snapshot in order to get feedback on your age range/type/etc, it is advised that you do at least some basic research on what actor headshots look like--composition, framing, lighting. You will find a Google Image search for "actor headshots" to be very helpful for this. Non-professional shots are fine for age/typecasting; please keep in mind that one picture is a difficult way to go about this. Video of you moving and speaking would be ideal, but understandably more difficult to post. For what it's worth, the branding workshop at SAG-AFTRA recommends a five-year age range. That's inclusive, so for example 19-23, 25-29, 34-38, etc.
I've been seeing an ongoing uptick on this sub that in a business that now relies mostly on remote auditions, actors can live wherever they want and still present themselves as local hires. My opinion is actors can *audition* wherever they want, but unless they're very well established, it's best that they're local. I live in New York City, and last year, I had my first recurring role. It was originally a one-day costar like all of the other previous network roles I'd booked, but was asked back to play the same character in another scene several episodes later. I had been booked for this second shoot date two weeks in advance, but the with a week left to go, I got a call from an AD after 7pm, who apologized about the late notice, but was I available tomorrow? I said yes, and they explained that I was actually in a second scene that had been overlooked because I had no lines. But for continuity, it was important for me to be there. An hour later, a Teamster had picked me up at my apartment, and drove me to set in another borough to get a covid test, and the next night, I was on set, shooting my new scene. I could have said no, I wasn't available to be picked up in an hour or to work the next day, and it wouldn't have been my fault. But as a result, that would have endangered my appearance in my first recurring role and instead, another actor may have gotten the part as it was originally written as a different character. Instead, I was available, and with a recurring role under my belt, I'm now auditioning for guest stars and more recurring characters. Shooting schedules are unpredictable. They change at the last minute, new scenes are written, switched around, a series regular may test positive and they have to rework what scenes to shoot next with little advance notice. Meanwhile, airline flights are cancelling at high rates because of [staff shortages](https://www.axios.com/2022/06/19/airlines-flights-staff-shortages-delays-summer-vacation). So if you have to travel a long distance to be a local hire, there are risks. I have found that when I've leveled up in my career, it was often due to a congruence of timing and luck. Whenever I slate now, where I live, or where I'm based, is one of the questions I answer, and it's likely because so many actors are submitting for local hire roles when they aren't technically local. Sure, actors may be able to *get away with* not being local for local hires. But I don't think that's the same as actors being able to live wherever they want, at least when they're vying for roles that don't pay above the base + 10%.
A year ago, I got cast in a lead speaking role in a series of commercial. I am not an actor in any way shape or form. I was asked to audition by the basically the luck of god and got the part. Got paid entirely too much money. A year down the road and I'm curious if this at all qualifies me to get another acting job. It was a lot of fun to do the shooting and it'd be cool to do something similar. That being said, my intuition is that since there are thousands of actors with actual training and background, my resume would be basically worthless. Is that the right read of the situation?
Hey, So long story short I’ve been an actor for around seven years. I’ve been in a few things successful the first two years with a lot of callbacks and a few bookings. The last five years I’ve booked two things and virtually next to no callbacks. I’m honestly not sure what changed i don’t feel like I’m acting any differently. I still get auditions but no bookings usually. I need advice on that but also i don’t know if I’ll explain this right and this might be a part of the problem. I have really low energy. Like obviously i want to act natural and like me in real life. My normal essence is very low energy a matter of fact type of vibe. I feel like some people are really outgoing and have this little ball of energy inside of them bursting at the seams. I don’t have that. I’m very much almost too relaxed. I try to fake it but it’s not authentic and the camera picks up on that. I’m worried I’m not booking because my “normal” is very boring on screen. Any advice on how to fix it or if i need to or how to harness it.
So if anyone needs a male voice actor like me comment on this post.
Any aspiring actors who wanna talk about movies, tv shows, theatre, and acting in general.
I just got a gig to play a Jamaican gangster for a video game and the client was worried it'd be considered racist to hire me to do it. Even though I passed the audition and I'm a character actor, I can do it no problem, even though I'm British/Spanish. Since when did it become insensitive to act another accent? Also there are NO Jamaican actors in this city so they really don't have a choice. But, it's acting. We are 100% of the time pretending to be something we're not. Why is this even a thing.
Hello fellow actors, I was recently in an unpaid short film where I was the lead. The film is coming out sometime in September. I was wondering if I can add the credit on my IMDB page when the short film comes out or if the director has to do it. The reason why I am asking is because I talked with the director about the credit and he told me he doesn't know if we will be getting a credit on IMDB through him. The film doesn't have a page on IMDB yet and don't think it will. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hey yall. I need a monologue that I'll be performing in two weeks, and I have spent the summer (intermittently) reading plays looking for one but haven't been able to find one that I really connected with. Last night I just started looking online out of desperation and found Tom's monologue from Neil Labute's Fat Pig and really liked it, but I'm worried that since I was able to find it online, it might be an overused one like Actor's Nightmare or I Hate Hamlet. Is that the case...?
My first time ever on a TV set I went to the bathroom with my mic on and I was HORRIFIED! Filming again soon and it has been a while, what are some basic things I need to know. I am mostly a theater actor so cameras do, at times, give me the heebie jeebies. Also I am working on a pretty fast paced TV show and don't know quite what to expect. I am guessing no rehearsal time, but would love to hear other people's lessons from set and some need to knows. Best, lil amateur green actor scared of the big screen
I mean people who work steadily but aren't like industry titans like Mark Hamill
Hi all! I have seen actors in my time who have two agents listed on their website/profile - one UK and one US. I have a UK agent and I’m not really in a position to fly over to the US frequently for auditions so I hadn’t thought much about this but I am hugely interested in booking roles in the US. Does anyone have two agents, know at what point this becomes a reasonable thing to do and any advice on how you’d secure a US agent if you’re based in the UK? Thanks!!
There are multiple singing and dancing shows but as far as I know, and I could be wrong, there's never really been one for acting. Which I find a bit strange, since singing, dancing, music, and acting are the main things under the performing arts umbrella. There was a reality show called *It Factor* that just followed a few struggling actors, including Jeremy Renner, but it wasn't a competition, more of a documentary. I dunno, shower thoughts I guess, but given the wide range of reality garbage that we've seen over the last couple decades it's odd to me that none of it was an acting competition. Or am I totally forgetting something?
Seems decently priced and known but would like to hear from actors that may have actually worked with him. The program https://www.bookfromtape.com/ The Master of Self Tape (the one I’m looking at) https://www.self-taping.com/
Iam 17,and I got rejected from my dream drama school 2 days ago.They basically told me that they saw I had talent and that I wanted it,but that they rejected me bc I played my pieces in the same “tensed up and defensive” way and that I need to learn how to let go of my script and just act what I feel in the moment. I actually get their feedback,but now it feels like my whole idea of what acting was is gone.Whenever I prepare a piece I always make up this whole story around it to keep in mind when iam acting,but it doesn’t work as well with pieces where something happens that I haven’t experienced before…So I get what they are trying to say,but at the same time I don’t know what to do with it.I tried performing my pieces in the moment today,giving into all of my natural impulses. That actually went well,but without some background story in mind I feel like iam directing my words at nothing and like its less realistic as a result.I think I need to connect the “as if” to the “act what you feel in the moment” but I don’t know how to??When I act in the moment without a backstory and when I try to keep a backstory in mind that I don’t relate to I just get this heavy feeling in my chest and my acting feels forced.I don’t know what to do anymore.It feels like someone bombarded my house and all the structure of it is gone.Shitty metaphor ik but that’s basically what it feels like. Iam also starting to get worried that I don’t have enough “life experience” to be an actor…One of the judges told me I was “too young” and that I needed to get to know myself and live life or something like that…Iam starting to think that he might’ve meant that I haven’t experienced enough yet and that therefore my acting in certain scenes lacks realism bc I haven’t experienced the thing iam acting yet?? Idk what to do the other candidates that got admitted where literally my age and I doubt they have experienced stuff like the hamlet/Phaedra pieces we had to perform??I’m just really scared that if I don’t gain more life experience I’ll be rejected again and that it will stop me from being a good actor… Does anyone have advice for me?Is this a common problem??
I just moved from a southern state to New York to pursue my goal of being a professional actor. I graduated last year and I’m ready to work! I’ve mostly done theatre work but I want to break into film + television work. Ive only been here for about a month now and I feel so overwhelmed because there’s just so much going on all the time and I don’t know where to look/start. I did my senior showcase and we sent our submissions out to agencies across the US and four or five agents told me to reach out to them when I moved to New York and when I did, no one responded to me. I knew that would be a possibility, so I’m not too upset about that because that’s just the business. I have an actor’s access account and a Backstage account. Could anyone give me some advice about to how to start getting auditions/work in the city and some advice about how to navigate this new city? i’d appreciate anything at all. Thank you!
1. What does an avail check really mean? I read a wide variety of numbers from 5-20 actors being pinned for a co-star on a network tv show, for example, to only 3 actors being pinned. What is the truth? 2. If you've been pinned / avail checked by a CD, what does that mean for the future? They must be aware of who you are at that point, yes? Do they just basically keep you in the rolodex of their mind when the right role pops up? Or, in the case with my reps, they are still submiting me repeatedly, so getting repeat audutions that are not callbacks are not so much casting seeking me out so much as casting say "yes, ok" audition when my reps submit me 3. If you're getting repeat auditions from CDS, like you have gotten 3/4/5/6/7/8/13 auditions from them for over a period of months or years, that has to be a good sign that your acting is on point yes? Or maybe you're acting is not on point, which is why you haven't booked yet? Or, again, casting is just so lazer specific that you just haven't gotten the right role yet. But 13 times? What gives?! 4. Why can't casting show producers other tapes they have of you from other auditions? Wouldn't that simplify the casting process so much and cut away so much unnecessary auduitioning and save everybody so much time? Like it's kind of crazy to audition for like more than 5 different co-stars, in my opinion, like you know what you're going to get from an actor. You can imagine them saying a different 2 sentences based on all their previous work! Or am i crazy? 5. I was pinned for a small suppporting role in a high profile directors feature last summer. I thought i would start getting more auditions from that CD all the time, or something like that. Nothing really happened. FInally got another tape from that same CD almost a year later, for a 3 episode recurring guest on a killer show, so that was cool, but there has to be some sense behind this, some reasoning, why this role as opposed to others, why not anything in the past 12 months? or is it really just random? 6. If some offices give me auditions for primarily co-stars, and a few other offices give me tapes for larger roles, is there any way to capitalize off of that? target certain materials or cater materials towards the CDs differently to be appealing for both co-star+ above at the same time since all kinds of eyeballs are on my materials? 7. For those of you who auditioning for a lot of CD's for a long time, before booking your first co-star... when you finally did book that first co-star... did the rest of things sort of "catch up", since you had already auditioned for so many CDs for so long prior to finally booking? Like a snowball effect? I can't imagine things not increasing in pace once I finally start booking, like more auditions, more bookings, etc. if it doesn't i really just don't understand lol. 7. More to come as I think of them! thanks guys. i thought it would get easier as i "go" but i'm just getting crazier instead.
Howdy! I’m just hoping to hear some successful or generally happy acting-related stories from fellow trans actors right now. I just moved to college from my hometown where I was really struggling to get cast because of a transphobic director, just to be rejected from a community theatre that claimed to really want a diverse cast— And then released the cast list with a statement that two male *ensemble* roles were still TBA Performing is genuinely my one true love, and it would be nice if… I was allowed the chance to do so instead of being stashed away until there aren’t enough cisgender men to fill the principle spots. Anyways, my frustrations aside, PLEASE tell me about your LGBTQ+ wins recently, I need to know that there are trans actors out there that are better off than I am, ahah.
Hello! I’m a young-ish actor located in massachusetts and am going to start taking more classes. I’ve done quite a few plays since i was in fourth or fifth grade, one musical, and some theatre workshops / classes. I’m more interested in the film / television side of things now that it’s becoming more accessible, and was wondering what types of classes would be suitable for the level im at. (scene study, camera work, general introductory courses, etc) thank you!
We can discuss details in the DMs of my account
So, I have noticed a habit that I have. I have ADD, so that might factor into this as well. The habit I have is sometimes, I’ll get bored with a show that I’m doing, and even if I’ve got a decent-sized part in it, I’ll just hit this phase where I’ll think about another show or something else I could be doing. It could be anything; stage combat, guitar playing, painting, acting in another show, etc. And I worry that it’s taking me out of being enthusiastic about the current show that I’m in. Not to say that it takes me out of the moment during scene work. Maybe I’m just overthinking it and making myself anxious. But is this usually a common thing most actors face?
Any advice for an adult actor who has to play a 'smart' 10 year old boy on stage? Its difficult to find a middle ground between well-educated and childish as some of the dialogue is quite mature for the age. I assume its mainly changing energy levels etc but any other advice is appreciated! Thanks
A while ago I got cast in a play at my drama school. At the point that I was cast, the play itself hadn't been written yet, it is newly devised and we only new the subject matter. It sounded really promising though and I was really proud of getting the role! As the weeks went on we started rehearsing, got the script etc....and the play sucks. Like, it's really bad. But I've accepted the role, I really love the people I work with and so it's ok; especially as an actor at the start of my career I know that I can't be too snobby and I wouldn't leave a commitment. We were supposed to perform in May but it was incredibly badly organised (nobody was advertising that it even existed we hadn't even rehearsed all of it, the script kept changing etc.) and we ended up having to move it to September. The director has big plans; after the performances she wants to try to get us into local festivals and more. Unfortunately I have been ill since March. But I was determined to go through with it. But I'm not getting any better and so I'm seriously considering leaving the play. I'm not contractually obligated to stay and I wouldn't be the first to go; it's just that I've really gotten close to the actors and the director there, we're friends and I don't want to disappoint them or be known as a bad friend and a bad actor for just abandoning the play. The only thing keeping me there is them, and potentially being seen by teachers, agents etc. who have been invited and could potentially cast me in their own stuff or take me on. But the play itself is still really bad and if I do go through with it my health might take a turn for the worse once again. I don't know if it's worth doing. A friend advised me that technically to my knowledge I signed on to something that was supposed to end in May so it's no longer my responsibility to stay but I don't know.
Whats up guys, Hope this isnt a bad question. I don’t have a reel just yet but i want to shoot a monologue for practice and to have it ready. I’ve seen a lot of other AA actors my age (24) do the same fresh prince monologue ( my dad doesnt love me scene) so I want to try something completely different than others. I want to be able to try something that shows a whirlwind of emotions but that fits me and can really show what I can do. Any advice?
For those considering an MFA or even just continued training after college, please be meticulous in your research of certain organizations. It is imperative that you understand what you are getting yourself into, especially if, like myself, you are putting down your own money to attend said institutions. I specifically want to \*\*WARN\*\* students/actors/writers/directors/ AWAY from the "Actors Studio Drama School at Pace University." Here, you will certainly not be getting your bang for your buck. You will be spending your entire life paying off an education that is not respected in the industry, nor an institution that even CARES about you. Let me start off by saying that there ARE some great teachers at this institution and there are classes in which great training will be presented to you, HOWEVER, great institutions go beyond this, they foster diversity, a safe place for artists, present opportunities, they respect their students, are transparent with them, hornet with them, invest in student's futures, have an amazing leadership that can be trusted... these elements were not found at "ASDS at Pace University." The root of The Actors Studio Drama School's problems (it's disrespect for students) begins with the school's only purpose of being a money making machine. This money making machine is to the benefit of funding Pace University and its parent institution "The Actors Studio." Students are promised a finalist status after their graduation at the historical Actors Studio, which is a huge selling point for the MFA program. However, The Actors Studio is critically misguided.... the members are rude to students and alumni, the "maternal" figure of the studio ( an Oscar winning actress) is a belligerent bully who especially enjoys going after young women, and the acting space is NO "safe place," let me tell you, it is toxic, vile, and that stage is used for intimidation more than "artistic exploration." Also, if you have attended the Actors Studio Drama School (a school that pays for that institution to stay alive) they mock you for having gone "to that school!" The hypocrisy is WILD. So... imagine if this is your parent institution...the ego, the mistreatment of performers, and more is going to trickle down into your CASH COW...oops, I meant "school." Further, PACE has no interest in the school and does nothing for it. They tried to take the three year track and make it into 2 years to save money for themselves... and were confused when students demanded "black box rehearsal space." The new Chair of the school is a hot mess who lies constantly and does not think students deserve the truth or common decency. You don't get to perform in a full play, NO single play is EVER put up except in your repertory season, which they have been trying to shut down or drastically minimize since 2021. It's all about saving money. I honestly could keep going on and have so many examples of how students have been disrespected and flat out LIED to.... but really this is a warning, do not waste your money and above all, your precious time. I want all actors to THRIVE and unfortunately there are so many institutions willing to exploit your eagerness to be an artist. Do your research (not just google, but asking people, current students, etc) All the best, A concerned artist <3
If anyone else out there uses actors access does it randomly freeze the listings sometimes? Like my breakdown services hasn't been uploading new projects for a couple days now it randomly just freezes then a couple days later it starts back up? That can't be a coincidence even across all the different coasts. Can anyone explain? Thanks!
Hello fellow voice actors! My name is Steele Bird, and I am looking to really step up my game and turn Voice-over and Voice-acting into my career. I finally have a day job that pays the bills while allowing me more time to focus on what the things I am passionate about, mainly creating content and VO. I was able to get my first demo done last year with some coaching, and I would like to hear some constructive criticism on how it sounds, I have long since upgraded my gear and I believe it may be time for another demo in the future (after some much needed coaching and classes). Also if there are any classes, seminars or courses you recommend for someone starting out I would love to see it. I have read through Dee Bradley Bakers, I Want to Be A Voice Actor! As well as taking some courses on Udemy from Peter Baker. [Here it is currently on Soundclound](https://soundcloud.com/steele-birdvo/voice-over-character-demo-2021), A professional website is in the works right now! Thank you all for your time!
Is this a decent going rate? Absurd? When I have looked online it sounds a bit higher than this but I’m new… “as you are new to voice over field, we will be able to offer $15 to $30 per 10,000 words of raw audio”
I gave up acting because I felt like my choice is between living where I live and acting and I’m sad… I’ve rejected so many artistic ventures in my life because they aren’t realistic and I’m trying to build a life. But sometimes I wonder about leaving it all and trying my luck in LA. I don’t want to continue a life without art but I don’t want to leave my country and do it all again
We all know how expensive IMDb Pro is and I'm not sure if it is worth keeping my profile up. I only have 2 credits. One being an indie, short film and one show hasn't even aired yet cause they just started few months ago. Is it worth it?
As an up incoming actress, I do love piercings and plan on getting tats, should I or do any of you have any reservations with getting tattoos or piercings and do you think it could hinder your career? Ps. I am not type casted as a punk or gothic type of person
I'm a really good actor, I have a strong reel, my headshots could be better, I'm AEA member. I've been emailing agents like mad and while they click and open my emails, nothing really comes of it. I did get signed with a manager who has only gotten me like 3 self tapes and they've all been completely out of my age range (I look teen-early 20s, they're 30s-40s). I also interviewed a couple of agents who only wanted me for commercials because "that's where the money is". Is there something I'm doing wrong? Is there a better way to be contacting agents? Should I be mailing them my resume and headshot instead? I'm honestly losing my mind. I don't think this sub is super active, but I'm not sure where else to ask. The industry seems to be underwater due to the pandemic even on a hollywood a-list level, but if there's more I could be doing, I would like to do it.
I’m a good actor alone or with very few people in the room but when it comes to actually performing the scene in front of an audience in class or for a tape. I just melt and loose all my skill and can’t get deep into the scene and connect with the other actor. I just forget pretty much all my skills and collapse my performance. It becomes suddenly impossible for me to focus. Am I alone?
im currently writing lyrics for the undertale soundtrack there will be no payment this is just for fun and will be uploaded to youtube thank you dm me if interested
My daughter is a SAG -AFTRA member and usually works in the US and Canada. She recently auditioned for an Indian web series that’s being produced for Amazon India, and is selected. The production team / business affairs in India doesn’t know anything about SAG so my question is, can I go and work for them or do I have to apply for any waiver or does Amazon India submit any request here in the US? She definitely wants to do this project but not by going against SAG-AFTRA rules. Any guidance or sharing of experiences is highly appreciated. P.S.: I will be calling SAG in the morning. Just wanted to check with fellow actors here since this may not be a very unique problem.
Through TAFTA in Australia, you can pay $250-400 to meet Casting Directors that promise to teach you skills on how to get noticed and build relationships with them over 5-6 hours. I'm wondering if anyone has done these sorts of events and if they're worth it? The casting directors are legit big names in the industry, but I wonder if they're just phoning it in for the cash and have no interest in the actors applying.
Hello! I was wondering if any of you could expand on these questions? 1. What are some red flags I should look for on a management companies IMDB? 2. What rank would a top management company fall under on IMDB? 3. What are red flags about their clients? 4. Most of their clients have a ranking of 25,000+ is that bad? 5. Many of their clients aren't actors but directors and writers? What does that say? 6. What questions were you asked in your meeting? I would appreciate any insight into how to read management companies. THANK YOU!

Hey everyone, I'm looking for two voice actors for my small project. I'm also looking for a casting assistant, a Caligraphy Artist (Occult symbols / runes), a Test screener / ''beta viewer'' / Reviewer. For those positions you can apply with your portofolio only. If you're interested you can find more information about each position & apply here: [https://www.castingcall.club/projects/voice-actors-needed-youtube-horror-web-series-arg](https://www.castingcall.club/projects/voice-actors-needed-youtube-horror-web-series-arg) **If you're selected, I will always pay you before you start working, so you can be certain you won't be scammed** Voice actors payment: 30 - 50 US dollars / hour worked or 10 - 15 cents per word; Keep in mind this is a small web series so you won't have more than 1 - 2 hours of work per month, at least until the series picks up. I prefer to pay via patreon. You can select ''upfront charge'' and you'll get the money the moment I send them. I'm also open to trying other payment options, but patreon is definitely the best, easiest option **A short description / logline for my story:** * A mentally unstable teenager is left to die in a vast, foreboding forest. Helpless and alone, he decides to team up with an odd, mysterious stranger in order to survive.
I just booked a role where I will be playing my violin, and potentially also mandolin and ukulele. Should I be getting any additional pay as a rental fee for using my personal instruments? Contracts have not been drawn up yet. They're some of the most expensive things I own, and I would hate for them to get damaged, especially since we will be working with community children as fellow actors. I've had my personal clothing and shoes rented from me before, but I don't know what the industry standard is with musical instruments. Is fine if it's not standard practice, I would just love to know either way. Thanks in advance!
Seeking actors and actresses who are able to shed tears in front of a camera. This is a paid gig and production will be done remotely so don’t worry about location, though we are based in Houston if anyone is wondering. If you are interested, simply send an audition tape of yourself looking directly at the camera and crying. Nothing else. Please no introductions or additional comments, as we will not consider any videos that include talking (unless you are talking to yourself). The video should be unedited and include the entirety of your process/buildup, as well as everything that comes after your tears (deep breaths, calming down, whatever you do to gather yourself). Basically, we want to see everything from the moment you press record to the moment you press stop. If you are recording an audition on your phone, please make sure it is in landscape mode (turned horizontally). If you have any questions let me know, otherwise you can send your audition video to the email listed below. P.S. If it takes you a couple attempts to cry, that’s okay! Don’t hit stop. We want to see EVERYTHING. We’re not looking for who can cry quickest or best, we’re just looking for actors we think are interesting. So send us everything. The more embarrassing the better :) loafgren@protonmail.com
Hi! This might be silly, but the only others besides me who seem interested in this show are other actors, so I thought I’d ask here. This show is incredibly hard to find and view. But, I’m looking for one specific episode! I’m trying to find Laura Linney’s episode, from season 15. And online, season 15 is the only one that’s fully missing from every website the show is listed on! Same with Amazon Prime, etc. So, does anyone here have any p*rated links or resources for the show or the episode I’m looking for? Any ideas? A girl will do anything to get her ITAS fix. Thank you!
Are there any German or French voice acting communities I could join? I'd like to start voice acting and I have been told I should really try it in English, French and German because I'm good enough to have conversations in English and French and German are my native languages which means I speak them really well. Where should I go for those languages? btw I'd like to voice act for video game mods because I think they lack voice actors and they sound fun to voice act for.
Hey I’m a Bay Area actor who’s looking to form more connections in the LA market before officially moving. I was wondering which studios, classes, or teachers are most talked about or reputed and what they’re known for. On the opposite note which ones should I avoid? I definitely need to develop my overall skills from auditioning, script analysis, character development and so much more and I really want to improve, but I feel I’ve exhausted most of my options in the Bay Area simply due to the quality of teachers and the skills of my peers unfortunately but still want to work on my craft in a meaningful way
Weeee, you found me!
I'm your buddy Bottie, I was hiding behind the scenes, but now that you've found me I'd be happy to tell you what I'm doing.
