Hi, I'm in the business of creating PDFs to help actors in the beginning of their journey. I have a PDF on how to get representation that I'm willing to give away for free in exchange for a testimonial that will end up on my website. You must be ok with your first name and last initial going on the site, in addition to any comments you may make. Please pm if interested. Thanks.
I wanna be an actor but idk where to start so what should i do?
Hey guys, I’m a 16 year old looking for actors in the Cambridgeshire area. I’m currently working on a horror film named the crawling. If anyone is interested send me a dm, if your around that area. Payment isn’t included.
I'm wondering if it's typical for actors to file an unemployment claim after working a couple of days on a SAG job. Does anyone have any experience with this?
So if an actor books a Union commercial and makes $10k, the 10% commission is $1000. But if an actor books a non-union commercial and makes $2500, the agent could get $500 from the actor and $500 from the agency fee, so also $1000. So then how do actors know their agents are pushing hard to casting to get their actors in for the better paying Union job when the lower paying non-union job brings the agent the same amount of money? Hard to make a living doing the work when the agents aren’t looking out for the actor’s best interest, which is pretty similar to what the writers fought against.

I notice actors are always photographed at social events like parties/bars/ restaurants/charity events…is this a requirement of the job??? What if you don’t want to do any of this would it affect your career???
Hey, for some reason my photo is not uploading to actors access. It doesn’t give an error code or anything. I thought it was my computer so i switched, but I’m getting stuck. When i browse and select a photo and hit upload it goes to 100%, but never shows the photo or an option for continue. I can sit like this for hours with no change. What am i doing wrong? Or what did i miss?
I was on a call to my partner, I told her I was about to do a long 30 minute recording of one of my stories, and if she could please not interrupt me during this time. She said ok she will go to sleep. Apparently she wasn't really paying attention. 10 minutes into my reading, i got a couple of loud Facebook dings from her, but I was willing to let that go. Then 20 minutes in I got a loud and long call from her. I...was....f\*\*\*\*\*\*.....furious. Love my partner to death but god did she p\*\*\*\* me off this time. And then it hit me: you really have to put a lot of energy into getting into character, and getting the momentum going. When someone carelessly interrupts, all that effort is wasted, and you then have to go back and do THE WHOLE THING FROM SCRATCH. So yeah I finally understand why actors like Christian Bale would crack if some fool spoiled their scene during a very intense take.
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.
My daughter had a self-tape audition recently. 2 days ago we were asked for an availability check and told that she was getting sent for network approval. In your experience, how long does this take? Outside dates start in 2 weeks and we’d have to travel. Her agent said it’s possible they’ve send 2-3 actors for approval. We’re excited but also not wanting to get hopes too high. Thanks!
In a scene study class now. I'm in a room full of talented LA actors. They're all so great. I noticed after several weeks every Thursday night would be filled with anxiety. I had a convo with another girl in my class and we discussed why we put so much pressure on ourselves. It's because we 1.)want to do a good job in front of the teacher and 2.) we are performing in front of 15 of our peers. It's a great, supportive class, dont get me wrong. If I have a bad night in acting class, I will replay everything I did wrong in my head, cringe at myself, wonder what people thought of me... etc. I'm never like this in auditions. I usually just do the audition, maybe thinko about it a little after and move on. But acting classes have been stressing me out lately. Thoughts?
A month ago I got the news that I was being considered for the lead role in a new series on a streaming service, after two years of no work and very few auditions. My agent said that the director and casting directors really enjoyed my audition. I controlled myself as much as possible but I cannot deny that I had high expectations – my agent told me that it was virtually certain that I would be on this project. ​ Today I received the news that in the meeting with the artistic and the marketing team of the streaming service they decided on another actress for the role. Despite the team's praise, I feel very sad and I'm fighting the urge to disappear, honestly. Any tips on how to deal with this feeling? Edit: I can't help but think that popularity was a deciding factor in choosing another actress in my place, but maybe it's silly to think that
I'm mixed, and all he submits me for is black roles. One of my white friends told me he submits him for black roles as well as white (he is not black passing, it's an attempt for my agent to gain profit from erasing diversity from a project just so one of his actors can be hired) I cannot do anything about this. What I can do is ask him if I can go out for white roles, which I have heard other actors have asked their agents to do (Zendaya, etc.) and since I am actually white (half) I feel some legitimacy (especially after finding out he's pulling this shit on black breakdowns.) How do I go about asking him to submit me for white characters, and what should I do if he refuses?
So why is it that someone who doesn't even wanna be an actress/model are the people who ends up getting the big break as in getting selected after auditioning, but the one who grinds the hardest just to even get an audition that's not ended up as a scam get's no offers at all or either they just end up getting scammed by someone con artist portraying to be the real deal?
We had a very interesting Town Meeting over Zoom last evening, here in Vancouver. Enough with allowing the current self-tape audition situation to continue much longer. Unions are readying themselves for their new Master Agreement negotiations. We should let our Unions know that this system has caused irreparable damage to our careers, has added too much work to Agents and casting Directors, is borderline illegal and anti-contract law and things need to change. If we continue to let it slide, it will (has?) become the norm. Our Meeting was attended by both ACTRA and SAG/AFTRA actors, agents casting directors and Union reps. If you would like some details on the talking points, DM me and I'll forward you a PDF. Let's all contact our Union, remind them of what we want and push back on Producers to do things ethically.
I wanted to get other actors opinions on this. I already post about projects I’m in A LOT, because I obviously I want the project to do well. However, I’m currently signed onto a project that is expecting actors to post the crowdfund link daily. I’m not a producer. I am an actor. That’s what I signed on to do. I also don’t want this 1 project to overshadow other projects I am working on. I’ve already posted the crowdfund link in my own way multiple times. I’m just a little annoyed that I’m getting constant “reminders” to share the link. I’ve never had this issue with crowdfunded projects before, it just feels very poorly planned to rely on just the actors to generate that funding.
Curious on how many clips is too much/too little and what others have on their Actors Access in terms of reels and clips.
As a child, I always had an inclination for performing, and I was charismatic, quick-witted, extroverted, cute, etc. So, as a result, and based off of the advice from many people who were close to my mother and father, they (my parents) decided to try and get me into acting and modeling. I ended up auditioning for some Disney Chanel shows, some movies with big time celebrities, and I also did some modeling for a couple of companies. Unfortunately, I never got anywhere with the acting, as I would apparently (I was quite young when this was happening so I have a poor recollection of it) get cold feet and falter during the auditions, so my parents and I just seemingly gave up. Fast forward 10 years later: I haven’t read a script or done anything acting or modeling related since then, but my interest in it has been reignited. However, despite my still being in possession of the same attributes I had when I was younger, I fear there may be a serious roadblock that would prevent me from becoming an actor — never mind a successful one. I have always been a natural story teller and have always been good at imitation, but I am completely unable to feel emotion — specifically sadness. I’m sure not being able to convey genuine sadness would be a red-flag for aspiring actors/actresses, and I don’t know how I can go about remedying my stoicism. I’ve heard that some actors utilize their sad memories to evoke emotion, and tears, but I am physically unable to do that. I can acknowledge that I’ve had traumatic and sad experiences, but when I try to delve into and relive them, it’s like my brain has set up this coping mechanism that inhibits me from being able to do so. So, what do you guys think? Is there anyway I could get past this? Does the likelihood of me becoming a hired actor seem bleak? Edit: I am 18 years old, if that matters.
So I applied for a really interesting sounding role on Backstage, and they got back to me today about moving forward in the process! However. I suddenly remembered to do my due diligence (I know) and look up the company and the people involved. I found a trailer for the project online. Oh boy. It is not good. The sound mixing is all but nonexistent, the filming quality is so bad that it's almost like found footage, but clearly unintentional? The actors are awful too. It seems like they are entirely untrained. Their performances are either lackluster, or over the top and completely pushed. There is no way that this project is going to be worth my time. How can I gracefully duck out of this?
I have been acting for around month and my instructor says the class is going to be doing a scene in front of an audience soon. When I act, I always feel like my emotions look fake and my movements are not realistic. I am EXTREMELY nervous that I might mess up and embarrass myself in front of everyone. How can I quickly improve?
For my actors out there. How hard was it for your to find your tribe or community of actors? The ones you hang out with on a daily basis. Do auditions with, run lines for auditions, and maybe go to class with. Being in LA can become a lonely journey, and I am having a hard time of finding people that I can really connect with. How would one go about finding actor friends to climb the ranks with?
For me, Better Call Saul pushed me over the edge from daydreaming about being an actor to actively trying to pursue a career in it.
Was surprised to say the least when I logged into Backstage days ago to see the pop-up message they were now partnering with Starnow...always thought Starnow sucked lol but I was like whatever. But now this is really starting to suck because I think this partnership is bringing in more scams/scam posts are more easily slipping through the cracks. Like 2 days after the partnership started I get an email in my inbox from someone on Starnow saying they invited me to apply to this casting call. Except it's a modeling casting call for a "virtual shoot" not caring if you have no modeling experience with a pay of 1500 dollars for 2 hours of work. Now I know literally NOTHING about modeling, I'm an actor, so I have NO clue what typical pay is or anything so, maybe a bit naively, I was like 'oooo money! I'll send in my headshots and full body pics as requested and if something comes of it I'll look more into it' A day later I get the "congratulations!" message and am like 'oh cool welp I guess it's time to put in the research now'. Everything in the message looks fine at first glance to me...they're not asking for any money...not asking for bank info or ssn's to pay you...it's a new virtual thing where they'll send you the clothes rather than it being at some creepy persons house or anything... But then I research a little more and some things don't entirely make sense...the casting director on this project is supposedly Cindy Tolan, I've never heard of her but with a Google deep dive I see she's casted some serious projects (Batman, West Side Story, Straight Outta Compton, etc.) and my first thought is instantly okay ummm yeah maybe this person isn't who they say they are. Why would someone with such big projects under their belt reach out to ME? and then, they seem to be a movie casting director, I'm not entirely versed in if the 2 worlds ever cross but why would a movie casting director also be casting models in projects? So lastly I'm like okay the congrats email I got has the classic no-profile-pic-profile-pic, let's see if the emails match up. I search online for Cindy Tolan's email and while not much comes up, there are 2 sources that say it's [ctcastingoffice@gmail.com](mailto:ctcastingoffice@gmail.com). The email I got is from [ctccastingoffice.com](https://ctccastingoffice.com). Thought they were slick lol. Almost forgot, the icing on the cake is y'know how Backstage now lists on the top of casting calls how long the person listing the casting call has been a member and how many jobs they've posted, and sometimes a verification? Well Starnow is doing that too now and the casting call I got invited to apply for says the person joined March 2 2022 and has 2 jobs listed, and is not verified. When deep diving everything on Google earlier I got sent to a page on some other random casting website I've never heard of before with a casting call of the exact same content this one is, from the exact email and people, but listed from March 2 2022. Meaning that must be the other job listed on their Starnow as well. I find it hard to believe the real Cindy Tolan team would have made a Starnow just this year only to list 2 projects of the same exact nature lol, or make a Starnow at all for that matter. I don't want to believe it because it would be REALLY nice to have 1500 dollars, but even the pay alarmed the first red flag in my head originally because it seemed like so much...not even sure how they were gonna scam me, but never got this close to even dipping my toes into the trap of a scam before Backstage started partnering with Starnow. Anybody else having any similar experiences? All very disappointing
I work out of a city that isn’t NY or LA but have found some success here. I’ve shot for network and streaming shows that were minor characters, but the work is yearly and over time I have a resume that is longer than most of my peers here. The issue is all my lines are small background characters that honestly are blink and you’ll miss them types. The last role I shot for did have me across from an Academy Award winning actor so that was nice having a scene with them and the experience was great. The thing I’m trying to ask here is what should I do here? I want bigger roles but those typically get taken by people from out of town, flown in from LA or NYC. Also, maybe I’m just not ready? I don’t get many opportunities with plays during COVID so I know I should turn there to hone my craft, but also I have friends who have management out in LA and even other agencies in my town have offices in Atlanta and LA as well So my options are to me * a) just keep doing what you are doing and work on your craft by seeking plays and classes. * b) seek out management in LA (5-10 credits on network episodics. SAG-Aftra and also a POC should help, right?) * c) seek an agency with offices in LA or NY along with my town. I really don’t want this because I have had the same agent from when I started and while there are flaws, I do feel that as long as I’m auditioning and booking why jinx it? Thoughts?
Looked through the past posts on this but haven't seen reviews on Lesly Kahn, Margie Haber, or Stan Kirsch in the past year--I was wondering what people's perspectives on these studios were, especially the zoom versions of the classes, and if there's any other studios that would be worth checking out for an on camera actor.
It seems like if women don't get their big break by 25, they have no chance.
***What does it mean to be an actor in the modern age of social media and content creation?*** That's what a new video podcast I'm working on aims to figure out! It's called The Digital Actor, and we're going to be going over all kinds of things like TikTok, YouTube, and Twitch from an Actor's POV and how we can use these platforms to get ourselves and our work out there. Find the introduction right here! [https://youtu.be/qjoUVXTCRoA](https://youtu.be/qjoUVXTCRoA) It's also available most places your podcasts! Just look up "The Digital Actor."
I have done alot of research and have yet to see an openly lesbian/only liking girls actress who wasnt butch/masculine or with short hair who was extremely sucessful or well known. I am very feminine but a lesbian. I believe i have acting potential I’m not out out yet but close friends and some family know but no public gf. Should i keep it this way until i land some gigs. Acting is truly the only thing i have ever wanted to do in my life and if that means hiding in a closet for 5 years to get there so be it. Honest advice only! Thinking of pretending to be bi as that seems to be less of a career killer then lesbian
i'm new to LA and in my early 30s. i feel like my entire life i've been surrounded by amateurs who don't take it seriously at all, and in turn make me feel like something's wrong with me for taking it seriously. i have low tier reps and i audition semi-consistently, pins, repeats from casting, etc. I was accepted into a master class with a reputable scene study teacher in LA and i'm starting that in September so i'm extremely excited to hopefully be around actors that are ahead of me, to get to watch them perform, learn from them, and hopefully develop new friendships. I really want to find other actors around my age, or older, 30s / 40s / 50s that are serious about their craft, rehearse on a regular basis, do all the things your supposed to do on a regular basis. all i seem to find are really young people / people that prioritize going out and getting fucked up and / or basically everything else EXCEPT working on their craft. basically people that call themselves actors but aren't actually actors. it's honestly incredibly disheartening. If i had the money i'd take classes 24/7, but i don't. So I need to be careful how I spend it and be specific about the choices I make / things I do / people i surround myself with. I found a group the meets regularly, but it's primarily a writer's group, and even the actors there are not really at the same level where they have reps and are auditioning for things, and there's just such a big disconnect, not to mention bitterness and resentfulness from them regarding the business. these are not the kind if people i want to surround myself with! i just dont know how to find serious people! Does anybody have any ideas for meeting likeminded people who take it seriously?
Hi, I don't know if anyone here is aware, but New Brunswick has no Media Industry. There's no TV Studios, no Voice Houses and no Movie Productions. It's all mostly independent stuff and it doesn't seem like the big Media Groups here (Stingray, Acadia Broadcasting, Maritime Broadcasting) are interested in doing anything. There's some stuff in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland but nothing here. Bigger Radio Stations won't hire new folks either, for anything. Is there any real future for someone living in New Brunswick to make a living off of Voiceover, or even in this Remote Age would I still have to consider moving to Toronto or Vancouver for bigger work? I'm thinking of doing a "Dramatic Reads" series where I have fun by doing uber-serious readings of Nursery Rhymes just to get my voice uploaded. I've been doing Voiceover for about 2 years now, though most of it has been unpaid stuff from Castingcallclub. I've been trained by Canadian Actors from Alberta and Ontario (Brendan Hunter and Deb Munro) and I have a semi-decent pro setup I'm just getting used to (Aston Origin in a Sound Blanket Booth, plugged into a Scarlett Focusrite, Audacity as the program). Though I think I need to upgrade it. I've been working at a Community Radio Station (unpaid) doing weather and News Reports since January 2022 and I'm doing my own show there now reading poetry and short stories from Local Authors. I don't get paid for any of this and haven't had a high paying gig in a while. A local animator in Saint John hired me to do VA work in a miniseries he did that will air on TV later this year, I'm going to ask him what other opportunities he thinks I might have now. It was a paid gig, but pretty low (not that I'm complaining). I still have my dayjob. I'm in my mid 30s too, so I'm not quite a spring chicken either. I'm just wondering if any of this has any future to it, or if it's just a Pipe Dream unless I pack up and move somewhere else where there are studios.
This is going to be strange: I'm making an independent low budget horror movie that will contain vignettes showing disturbing things you might come across online. I am looking to hire someone to make a very short clip of themselves shirtless doing a muckbang while crying (I know, disturbing but it is a horror movie after all.) The video can be filmed by the actor on their phone. I can offer $50 plus the cost of the food. It would look something like this: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xp5KzAZsxyY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xp5KzAZsxyY) Looking for someone in their 20s/30s who is bigger. I can offer more information on the film/my background upon request.
Hi! 20 year old actress here, relatively new as I only started acting about 3 years ago. I tend to usually only get small auditions, which is kinda a bummer because I find them really hard to do. (Though I'm still grateful to get anything) They usually are only 1 to 2 lines, and barley any directions on what I'm supposed to do before or after i say my line. My question is: how do I do a good audition with the little material that I'm given?
I keep seeing all of these actors that also are learning stunt work and I feel like I should probably do that? Is it important/detrimental to a budding career to not learn gymnastics? Also, any recommendations of good gymnastics studios for actors in LA?
I am a 13 year old content creator for Youtube and I need voice actors for my project. I'm looking for a person to voice a 36 year old named Norman Hunt, he is in a depression and normally talks in a very soft and slightly deep voice. He is a detective and does research on any unexplained phenomena for people. More info on the character will be given if you comment and ask to work on my project. If you want to know about other things I do, here's a link to my channel: [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZAzrY0DLqhKBv59JhCabnA](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZAzrY0DLqhKBv59JhCabnA)
Here we go, so ivebecame more invested in acting about 2 yeara ago, aiming to make it my life instead of a hobby and im currently enrolled in a Dramatic Arts school (college but for theatre purely not american so idk how to better describe it) The school has given me some contacts and alot of knowledge so far and i personally believe im becoming a decent actor little by little. However ive also been registering myself in casting bureaus and firstly they never allow me to put my specific ethnicity in. Being from Western Europe theres large groups of Turks, Morocans, Surinamese, Afrikans etc but the biracial community is quite small. And there frankly arent alot of light skinned afro-europeans. Each time i get sent a audition or a request for a selftape its always for characters that are either arab hispanic or african. I don't really look Arabic or Hispanic and have no cultural ties with em. And im often too white to play a black character or to black to play a white. I find myself in this weird grey area where i only have a small percentage of what i can actually take on. It might be just in my head but does anyone has any advice on how to navigate through this industry as a Black/white mixed person?
I am in school to be a chemist, then I wanna go to a Master's program for a cosmetic chemistry degree, but ever since I was young, I wanted to pursue acting, and I just finished my first gig as a background actress. Am I able to do both? And has anyone done something like this having a full time job but also wanted to do big acting jobs??
Or do they get paid per session? So say for example an actor was appearing in 8 episodes of a cartoon, would they get paid a free for each episode they appeared in or just for as many sessions it took to record all their lines ?
Hello! This may be odd but I don’t really have anyone else to ask. I am a 25 year old NYC based actor. I have been offered rep by both Eris Talent and MAG talent. Very cool but I’m at a loss on who to go with Eris on the surface seems more prestigious but I like that mag has a smaller roster. I don’t have any major credits and my focus is just getting in the room Any experience or insight on either agency js welcome. Also I’m NY based If that helps Thanks!!!
I realize that I've just kind of let myself stop caring about what I look like and that's severely impacted my ability to get gigs. I'm not going to expound on anecdotal evidence, but I have plenty with direct ties to how I appear interfering with my jobs. I'm an efficient and hardworking actor, and sometimes I'm even good. But I never look a way that fits into a director's perspective. I'm losing weight for health reasons and that's going really well. But I need to cut my hair and start doing skincare and dress a little less like a tired punk and a little more like a hireable actor. Unfortunately, being a person of color with frizzy, curly hair nearly always requires some artistic legwork for a director around here to consider, but I'm hoping to compensate. How should I optimize my wardrobe and general look to make myself more viable for dramatic male roles in emerging/experimental work? I describe myself as a kind of scruffy brown guy with facial hair, fluffy almost shoulder length hair, glasses, and a stocky build. I know I need to get better shoes for auditions and start wearing slacks.
What does it mean when they say an actor lobbied hard for the role and how do they successfully do it other than auditioning?
I just wanted other actors' perspectives on this situation, especially if they're part of SAG-AFTRA--this was a major, Union production, featuring huge stars (fuckin' Michael Keaton!), that was finished--it had been TEST SCREENED already! And now it's gone. And most likely won't see the light of day unless people make a stink about it. It just rubs me entirely the wrong way. It's such bullshit, and so unfair, and personally, I feel it sets a dangerous precedent to have such a massive movie become a tax write-down. The cast and crew were promised their work would be SEEN. This shit was finished! I've seen some people go, "that's the biz", but...fucking no? I've been in the biz since 2006 and no, nothing like this has ever fucking happened. The closest thing I can think of is the scrapped Wonder Woman pilot, but even then, television pilots are designed to be uncertain. Actors on them know that going into them. This was something that was supposed to be a guaranteed release. And I'd bet you any kind of money that its lead, Leslie Grace, turned down opportunities that would've conflicted with "Batgirl", and her future in the DCEU. It is stupid. Outrageous. And I just want to find people that angry about it. Because I'm honestly fucking pissed.
I know the whole union vs non union situation is pretty complex, I've asked alot of people on both sides and they all given me different answers. So I just wanted to ask those who are in the union, once your apart of the union can you only do union work or are you still able gigs that would fall under nonunion like freelance work and buyout work (like anime apparently)? Because I've heard there's different types of union status of to accommodate all types of actors but I've haven't been able to 100% verify the validity of that statement.
So just recently I realized that this might be a trauma response. I know a lot of people feel shy while performing. But this one is somehow different. Do you know those school performances where you had to pretend you were someone else and act with someone else as you are an actor? Man, that was/is unbearable to me. I feel so ashamed that I froze. I just can't go on, I’ll laugh, I’ll say sorry, and then be replaced by someone that could do that. I mean, I could make a toast no problem, even a presentation. But when it comes to acting, as I said, I pretty much can't go on. A huge feeling of shyness washes me over. I feel like I’m being stupid. Does someone else feels like that?
I got two offers from agencies in Denver and don’t know which one to sign with. I am a fulltime actor and modeland Wanted to get anyone's opinion on Wilhelmina Denver and how good they really are. I know that Wilhelmina Denver is only an affiliate/satellite office with Wilhelmina International (which is the huge modeling agency brand) so I wouldn’t really be a “Wilhelmina” model, but I might have an opportunity to jump over if they ever scout me from Denver or something. Wanted to know how good they are at actually getting their talented jobs and stuff. The other agency I got an offer from is The Block Agency/Maximum talent. They have offices in Denver and Nashville and so I apparently would be submitted for jobs in both those states as well as states in between Denver and Tenessee (like the south and middle states). The added perk of them is that I would be able to submit for Atlanta film/tv/commercial. How good are they? Do they actually have a lot of contacts and do really well? Do they get their talent jobs?
Hey guys! So I just made the move to New York (yay!) and I’m looking into acting classes here. One that I was looking at is Actors Access, specifically the fast track program. Has anyone here done that program? Would you recommend it? Alternatively, what classes would people recommend? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, especially just on next steps on getting into the industry. Thank you guys!
On Apple TV+ actors have profiles kinda like on IMDb just less detailed and WAY less editable. It’s almost like they just appear. Anyway, my little cousin is an actor and somehow 2 different profiles have populated for him on Apple TV. His mom asked if I can try to figure it out bc I’m more “tech savvy.” And because he a new show on Apple TV+ JUST came out and he’s in it! But it’s not showing up on either profile, and his profile isn’t showing up in the shows cast (show is Amber Brown) and we think this might be why! Here’s the link to one of the profiles (this is the one we want to keep!) [https://tv.apple.com/us/person/beau-hart/umc.cpc.6vf5pzgec9s4ubc009d21ikkc](https://tv.apple.com/us/person/beau-hart/umc.cpc.6vf5pzgec9s4ubc009d21ikkc) And here’s the second one, the one we’d like to combine w the one mentioned above!

For me I have met a few at various cons * I met Veronica Taylor (the original Ash Ketchum) twice at SC Comic Con (2017 and 2022). She is one of the sweetest people I have met at a con. She loved my James impression when I first met her and she talked to me as Ash and May. She even recognized me when I saw her again this year. She is always happy to chat and even though she has not voiced Ash in almost 15 years, you can tell she still loves the character and the impact Pokemon has had on everybody. * Jason Marsden (Max Goof, Haku, Kovu, Tak, and Binx to name a few) was at my local con back in 2019 and had a panel with Tom Bancroft. He is super funny if you ever do get to meet him and I got him to sign a Max Goof print I ordered from Tom Bancroft. * Luci Christian (Uraraka and Nami) is another favorite I have met. She was at SC Comic Con last year and was more than eager to sign a digital drawing I made of Uraraka. She literally is Ochako in real life, she's just as sweet, positive, upbeat, friendly, eager, and talkative. She will love to chat with you for a while if you are too meet her. Definitely another actor I would highly recommend meeting * John Ratzenberger (Yes, that John Ratzenberger, the voice you hear in most of the Pixar movies) was an honor to meet, being a HUGE Pixar fan. He was happy to talk and answer a few questions at SC Comic Con this year. I even brought the Mack toy I had as a kid and got him to sign it, since Cars was my favorite movie growing up. * Last but not least, Kenny James (vocals for Bowser since 2005) was also at SC Comic Con this year. He has quite the sense of humor and told me about how he got the role. Also, he's with us all int the fact that he is not pleased with Illumination's casting for the Mario movie, saying it was, in his words, "a way to put butts into seats" and the only choice he was kind of ok with was Charlie Day as Luigi.
I know people always assume that booking the role is the only way you really know you're doing well. But not booking a role doesn't mean you are a bad actor (as it can come down to so many other factors) so how are YOU able to tell you are doing well regardless of bookings/jobs? What makes you know you are on the right path? Small ones for me: - getting auditions from the same casting director(s) over and over again. - my agent tells me she's excited to send my self tape in once she watches it, or just compliments it overall. - seeing your agent hustle for you by getting you big auditions (they believe in your talent and work ethic to handle such a role. It took some time before my agent started giving me bigger roles aside from commericals once she saw my improvement) - CD's ask you to audition for another role within the same show/film (they like what they saw but they want to see you try a different character to see if it matches you better) - getting a lot of hold/pin avails (although this was nicer pre-pandemic before they started throwing them out all the time as a covid safety thing) - being impressed with yourself. (I'm quite hard on myself so when I'm impressed/entertained by my tapes, I take the self validation as a win and a sign of improvement.) - my mom tells me :)
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.
