Hello everyone, I have found myself in a strange yet fortunate predicament and would like some advice from other actors, if I may. I have been lucky enough to get an agent who is putting me forward for work, not as often as I would like, but nonetheless does. This agency is not particularly well known or 'big' but they took me on without much experience so for that I am very grateful to them. When I signed with them, I was also suggested by another actor whom I met on a job to approach his agency. This **second** agency is bigger and more well known, but they said initially they could only offer me a commercial contract. I said ok sure, why not, and signed with them for a rather large commission on their part. Since signing, I have not booked any work with them. My predicament is that now this second agency is willing to offer me a full acting contract with better terms, but they want me to be exclusive and therefore drop my first agency. I am reticent to do so because I can't figure out what their angle is, why would they want me to be exclusive? They said on the phone that it was because it looks more professional to be with one agency and people will take me more seriously, but I have no idea if this is true. I should note that the reason they are now offering me an acting contract is because I am on 'Spotlight' the UK casting site which all actors kinda have to be on to get anywhere. Does anyone have any idea why they would be suggesting this? I can only assume it boils down to money and presumably they don't want another agency potentially benefitting from their work? I certainly don't think its because I'm anything special! Any help would be **really** appreciated. Thanks!
In [2018](https://www.reddit.com/r/acting/comments/8bpw52/young_adult_pilot_bookings_2018/), [2019](https://www.reddit.com/r/acting/comments/b9a7p7/young_adult_pilot_bookings_2019/), and [2020](https://www.backstage.com/forums/working-actor/young-adult-pilot-bookings-3-9809/), I made lists of young adult actors aged roughly 23-33 who booked leads and series regulars in pilots and straight-to-series shows during pilot season and grouped them into the most common educational and training paths based on *what I could find* of their backgrounds. Then I compiled those numbers into a [three-year study](https://www.reddit.com/r/acting/comments/g306qr/3year_totals_young_adult_pilot_season_bookings/) to conclude the project with a note that I might do it again at some point in the future if I saw what appeared to be a significant change in casting trends. I saw no such change, but I did notice some assertions that the study was out-of-date and no longer relevant because the pandemic had changed literally everything. So, I took some time to test those assertions and found them to be unfounded. While overall casting was down due to fewer pilots being ordered, the balances in the educational and training paths in this age range remained within normal limits with no new trends being apparent. Trends in diversity could be a different matter, but I will simply post those numbers without further comment. As I've said previously, this is in no way intended to discourage anyone of any starting age, background, or financial means; but, should rather serve as a reference for inexperienced kids who come here to ask questions about the different pathways into the profession. When I was coming along, opinions were plentiful and often emphatic, but factual bases for them were most often scant which is why I have found this worth doing.

If the deadline for an audition is 1 week away, but the actor submits 6 days before the deadline closes…and the audition shows up in “active eco casts” throughout that whole week, does that mean that the actor is still being considered? Or does it just mean the deadline isn’t up? On the flip side, could it disappear before the week is up if the actor is no longer under consideration after submitting their self tape?
I’m starting to get more paying gigs outside of my state (paid, but not always travel included) and wondered what any other traveling actors do to save money or get reward points. I know that these things can be tax deductible, but I could really use a strategy that allows some savings up front as well. For example, do you only fly with a specific airline because of their rewards? Do you go with a specific hotel because of their partnership with a credit card you have? Literally, any advice that could make this poor actor less poor while striving to live his dream would be much appreciated.
Okay so I kinda need to elaborate on my status of what I am, I am a part time worker in a retail store and I am also a college student as well. I always wanted to be some type of an actor but I realized I get way too nervous about being the main focus so I feel like being an extra is more of my calling. Although I feel like I am kinda busy at times but I feel like I can open my availability to be an extra on the side. I do worry that there may be times where I will be busy if I get any emails about bookings with school and my work. Has anyone dealt with something like this and should I give it a try to be an extra, I do want to be part of that experience so I'm hoping I can just do this on my spare time. Sorry if this post was hard to understand? I just don't know if I should try at this time or just wait later on. I don't want to quit my job currently and I obviously can't quit school, I just hope there is a way to squeeze this in and probably do this like over the summer break, winter break or just whenever I will have free time.
I’ve been searching for weeks now, and the only lessons are for youths 18 and younger, or private lessons. Private lessons are really helpful I won’t deny that, but I want to make friends and form an acting group through meeting people and private won’t help with that much. Does anyone have any tips on meeting new people who may be into acting…outside of acting?
I'm searching for a narrator for a short animated film which is nearing completion. The work will involve the recital of a poem which is written in the style of gothic horror literature, similar to The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe or, The Rhyme Of The Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The story is set in a coastal village within the UK and while it has dark undertonesand is unsettling it does not contain explicit or especially graphic content. We ideally are looking for an older male, with a rugged and robust voice. British accents are very welcomed. Ideally you will be able to add natural depth to the role, though we will give instruction on pacing and mood. As a loose approximate it will involve recording around 6 to 8 minutes of narration. The position is paid and we are happy to discuss your rates. You will also be fully credited when the film is presented at short film festivals, unless you wish to remain anonymous. If you think you would be suitable I'd be delighted to hear from you! Please feel free to send me a dm, any samples welcome, I'm happy to answer any questions you have. As stated in the title this is a small independent art project so you would be working directly with the creators. Thanks for reading!
is anybody a texas based actor? how do you like it/whats been your experience? i’ve heard texas is one of the up and coming acting states so please give me your thoughts!
Every software engineer I know hangs out in [Hacker News](https://news.ycombinator.com/); anyone can post a link to a website (news, articles, etc) and there's a lot of value in the well-moderated discussion. Is there such a website, but for actors? There's this subreddit, of course, but the focus here seems to be about asking questions, requesting feedback, sharing successes, not so much on sharing and commenting on industry news.
Looking for any recommendations of cities that have quality professional theatre companies in the state of Georgia. Thanks!
Hi friends I’m currently at a bit of a crossroads, I had the opportunity to have a full time 9-5 job for 9 months, suggested to me from a family member who works at the company, and my current casual job is closing down . I am an aspiring screen actress and just wrapped on my first feature film (which won’t be out for another year) and I’m awaiting it for a decent showreel. As it is only a temp job I said I’d do it but I feel my past self screaming nooo as I’m 26 I have managed to avoid a proper job so far. Is this a trap? Will I get used to the money and stay working there, and will I have any time or energy to be an actress during my time there . Find out in 9 months on my Reddit I suppose . If it wasn’t working with my family member I’d be able to be sick for auditions ect but I don’t want to let her down
So I follow this sub not so much because I'm a professional voice actor as I'm a learning content designer who frequently does my own voiceovers. I also work abroad and travel a lot. I'm here to ask about the best small gear that I can travel around with. I have a 1 foot by 2 feet collapsing plastic box that I add cotton to for a noise reduction space, and that fits well unto my luggage without taking up much space, but I wanted to ask what microphone is both lightweight and durable for moving around a lot. I'd like my budget to be $200, but I'd do up to $500 if it's worth it. Any thoughts? (Sorry if this doesn't belong here)
Title says it all - looking for some recos on photographers that are really good at capturing an actors essence, and making some really cool headshots. I’m the Toronto area would be best. Thanks!
Hey, I really want to get to know actors aroung my age, so we can grow and experience tings together! and yk be there for each other and share tips and just general acting stuff with each other. im 13 btw :)
I (19F) was recently cast in my very first professional theatre production, which is Much Ado About Nothing. As you may have guessed by the title, I’m understudying for the first time ever as the part I wanted to play (Hero) but I’m also acting as the only female ensemble member and the Sexton. We started rehearsals two days ago, and everyone’s been really nice, but… I hate being an understudy. I can’t even mince words; I hate it. My director has the most rigid definition of what an understudy should be that is possible, and I just found out that I am being given literally no leeway in how I play this character. Every line, every inflection, every expression, every movement, every CHOICE is the actress’s choice and all I can do is be a shallow copy. This is especially painful for me because literally my favorite part of being an actor is getting to know my character and choose how to play them. I express emotions I’m never allowed to express through my characters—they’re almost an escape for me. This show is literally sucking everything I love about acting out of me. I would try to distract myself by putting as much as I can into the scene I have as the Sexton, but when I asked my director, she praised the “bold choice” I was taking—and proceeded to completely misunderstand the take I’m putting on the character. I’d correct her, but she likes the take, so now the only place I had to express myself has been taken too. I even discovered that I’ll have to dye my hair (I knew that going in, I still have the remnants of a dye job I did in January and I was open to getting it dyed) but it’s been implied that it’ll be her hair color instead of the one I was planning on, and I may even have to get a tan, which I’ve never done before. So I can’t even bring my own skin to this show. Nothing in the show is me, and because I’m the only non-named female in the cast I stick out horribly among the rest of the cast (especially since my costume is extremely different from all the other female characters, almost like they’re rubbing it in). I’ve cried four times in two days about this and I hate the feeling I have being the silent backup, not even being given a single rehearsal for this character (our schedule is really tight) or allowed to ask the actress for any help. Any advice for how I could handle this without completely ruining what shreds of mental health I have left would be really appreciated. (By the way I’m aware that this sounds really ungrateful and I really don’t want it to be because I am very lucky that I was cast, since I’m the youngest cast member and I flubbed my audition. I’m just asking for help to manage my emotions because I want to bring as much professionalism I can and I’m trying to leave my personal feelings out of it).
Howdy all, Posting for some advice. I’ve been working full time as an actor and model in Chicago, and wanted to know what some smart next steps would be. I already have representation in Chicago through a relatively large agency. I book modeling gigs often, and have been slowly racking up short film lead credits and a single TV costar credit. What’s next? I feel like Chicago doesn’t have much on the TV/film side of bookings - do I look for representation in LA or NY? If so, any recommendations? Would appreciate some advice.
I (f21) am interested in becoming an actress. I am currently in my 3rd year in college, and have always had a passion for acting. If anyone is familiar with the process of being able to act (small roles probably) on television.
I was wondering if it could help you score an agent more easily if you have a big audience on social media (not like millions of followers but let‘s say about 5k-80k) since at the end of the day it‘s a business and every actor is their own „brand“ and if it could make up for not having that many credits (I know you still need to have training of course and be at least decent at the craft). Sorry if that was not grammatically correct since English is not my first language
Hi Voice Acting! Long time lurker, part-time voice actor, but only on a very amateur level, (you might have heard me in Hong Kong children's English curriculum or two). However, my regular job has just given me a rare opportunity to do some live work with a few substantially talented voice actors in the industry. I'll be directing them in recording some voiced dialogue for a game that we've been making. I've directed kid's theatre, and I have a passing idea of how to direct my own voice. But I want to get the most out of our limited time with these actors, and just as importantly, I want to treat them with respect. So can you tell me what you appreciate from a voice director when you are working on a project. Anything I can do to be more clear, more helpful, or at the very least less frustrating and get the best out of good voice talent? Anything I should absolutely not do?
I received an ecocast last week and was told to submit via email, which I did over WeTransfer but casting still hasn't downloaded it. My gut is telling me not to follow up with casting but when I mentioned this to my rep she said "we sent it to casting." It never went through them or Actors Access. I told her that and she never responded. Anyone have any advice? I'm so frustrated.
I’m studying at a pretty prominent acting school in Los Angeles and another actor and I got to chatting after performing a scene. We’ve been studying for a long time. I’ve been acting since I was a child, got my theatre degree, and have been studying ever since college. I’m 29 now. Our feedback for the scene was that we were missing the “life” and we were missing the “realism.” Basically we acted really well, but it didn’t read as a slice of life. The feedback was good, but we walked away frustrated. I feel like we don’t talk about how much the quality of your training matters. I’ve trained for YEARS and this is the first time I feel like my acting is getting better and I have the opportunity to grow. I have always felt like a good actor because up until now, I’ve booked a lot of amateur stuff (short films, commercials, non-union plays) and I have a lot of training/schooling under my belt. I’m saying all of this to say, you can have 20 years of “training” and still not be great. That’s the hard truth. Really look at your schooling or class you’re in and assess if you’re actually learning. Consistency matters too. I’ve wasted a lot of money to be in the same place until now. Try different classes, read different books. And don’t let your ego make you think that because you’ve been studying for a long time—you’re a fantastic actor. Training means nothing if it doesn’t translate to the real world. You don’t want to be a professional student, you want to be a professional actor.
I recently auditioned for a series regular role. They gave me plenty of time to do so, about five or six days from when I got my AA eco cast request which was nice. But after I submitted the audition the deadline was extended. They’ve extended the due date twice already lol. Now normally I try to move on right after an audition because at the end of the day my job is done once my self tape is sent. Booking is a bonus. At least that’s how I try to look at it but it’s easier said than done. But every time I get a new eco cast from my agent this other project is in my pending submissions on actor access so it’s kinda hard to not think about. Just wondering if this is normal. This is my first time auditioning for a project this big so I’m not sure what the usual standards are.
So I recently asked about the Actors Connection Fast Track program. Just sat in on a seminar about it and wasn't too thrilled with what I heard. So now I'm trying to figure out what my next move is. I want to enroll in some sort of acting class. I have experience (graduated with a BA in musical theatre) but didn't get as much training as I think I personally needed during college. I want to shift away from MT towards straight theatre/film/TV. I've looked at a few different studios so far but I really don't know which one to go with. If it helps I'm looking at doing online classes. So far I've looked at: The Barrow Group, HB Studio, Lee Strasberg, Stella Adler, and Atlantic Acting School. If any of y'all can share some insight or direct me somewhere else I might not have thought of that would be great. Thanks!
I'm moving to Atlanta on June 1st to pursue acting as I've just finished my degree. Does anyone know of any good headshot photographers that they would recommend? Additionally, I've already found a ballet studio and a few acting classes I'd like to audit and hopefully sign up for, but if anyone has any good recommendations please share! I've visited a few times but will still be relatively new to the city. Also, if anyone is looking to make more friends, I'll definitely be in need of some as it is just me (21F), my bf (22M), and our dog! Please reach out!
So I've been in a show recently and I love my roles. I love the cast too. But my mental health is terrible. I was at a psychward during rehearsals and then got my meds suddenly changed. I'm experiencing terrible withdrawals from it. Heavy mood swings, inability to concentrate, terrible depression... I can't get in character. I can't act at the best of my ability as usual. I can barely last rehearsals cause I'm exhausted. Tech is later this week and shows the next. I just don't know what to do. If I should endure this or drop late in the game? I don't want to ruin my chances of never getting accepted into future shows with this company again due to dropping so late. But at this point I also think they wouldn't cast me cause I'm just a weak actor now. Staying at home makes my depression worse and my parents keep telling me to get out. Legit just don't know what to do. Please help.
It's been strange for the past few months. I've been working on 3 shows (one of them is done at least, thank God) and plus work on the side and college, I really feel like I overworked myself, so that could be the reason. But acting was something that was a safe place to let loose to me. But past few months, the passion has been turning on and off, but it's off most of the time. It's starting to feel like a chore and I get so stiff and uninspired on rehearsals. I'm just going through my lines while worrying about what I'm doing right or wrong and not really feel what I'm saying. The director also wants us to improvise a lot which is really not one of my strengths, never has been. I like to plan carefully because it takes me a bit to really get in and set myself free. But that's not a good trait for an actor to have. I also feel like I developed a small ego problem, which adds fuel to the fire. I'm starting to take director's criticism to heart and though I try not to show it, it fills me with such a burning rage and I hate that and that makes me even more angry. Sometimes I'll really get into the rehearsal with the right energy, but one harsher criticism and boom, deflated and I'm beating myself up for not being perfect all the time and can't stop thinking about everything I'm doing wrong. Last year, I was doing amazingly. This year, it's like I hit a brick wall. And I love performing and acting. I don't understand why I suddenly can't let myself relax and enjoy the ride, so I wanted to see how you guys dealt with those kinds of problems.
Hi everyone, thanks for the support throughout the years. I was recently asked to be the lead in a feature film. The actor in me is on cloud 9 so happy! ... But it's unpaid and would mean I'd lose my job. I don't have enough saved that I can afford next month's rent to survive. Here's some defining info: - Unpaid - Distribution will be Amazon Prime - Camera quality looks horrible! Lighting is just flat. The lens choice makes it look like video not film - Filming will be for 2-3 weeks - Would have to give up my position at work - Would be my first lead in a feature film I feel like if they paid and it wasn't going to be the typical indie "14-16hrs a day" work days, I'd jump for it. Even despite the quality. But my rent needs to be paid, that's my worry. What would you do? Feeling pressured to say yes to it since it's a Lead.
New to the Bay Area and former SAG eligible, fortunate to make a living (not a wealthy living just a notch above starving artist) film and TV actor looking for any and all recommendations but ESPECIALLY acting classes. Just for context I’ve done features to commercials to short films to student films but have to start all over since leaving it years ago. I know it will take time, I’m eager just to get involved in even student films again. So any recommendations in the following acting realm around the Bay Area would be greatly appreciated: Acting classes/coaches? Audition postings (student films to professional. I assume some of the classics remain like backstage etc but what about new FB groups etc) Managers/Agents (I won’t be going for these anytime soon but figure asking now gives me goals) Forums and or networking events and groups (any group of event that I can start meeting others and networking) Thank you kindly.
Okay. I apologize if this has been posted before and I am unaware. I read the FAQ’s though and didn’t see it. I am an actor. I’ve been seriously acting for about 2 years now. I graduated with my AA in 2020. I’ve been taking film acting classes for about a year now in Atlanta with a really great studio. So, to pay the bills to support my career goals, I have been a server for quite sometime. I’ve been in the service industry for about 7 years now. Guys, I’m BURNT OUT. and when I say burnt out, I am soooo sick of… well… the public. What can I do? I want to have a flexible schedule without feeling guilty about having to potentially call out for an audition/role etc. I’ve been thinking about TaskRabbit, Hux, Rover and other independent contractor jobs like this. Can I survive doing these full-time? What do you guys do to support your career?
I'm a new voice actor, started in November. Was recording pretty consistently (for working full time) all though the winter, then may happened all the grass grew and for the past few weeks very time there's a break in the mowing, I start to record only for a different mower to start up. Also AC's have been a problem. Do I just need to keep doing retakes? or build a better booth? Is there a secret?
I have ADHD, and I look dead behind the eyes. All the time. Even when I'm not acting. I got made fun of for it in theatre school; people would say I always 'looked high'. And it's true; I can't seem to override this distant, spacey, childlike thing. I have found ways to use it. One of my roles that I got the best feedback for was a young autistic girl. I also think I made great use of this odd quality in a recent-ish project. But I don't want that to be my whole thing. I did have a problem with mentally checking out during my scenes a while back. I could feel it happening, but I couldn't seem to override it. I've gotten better at it over the past few years, especially now that I've been diagnosed. I started Ritalin for a bit last year, and I did notice I looked more present on camera. I also used to break a lot, and now I have less trouble with that. I'm still in the process of getting on the correct dose of Vyvanse (new doctor). I still have moments where I struggle with properly listening to the other actor (and I think getting the hang of it will be tougher for me than for most people). But even when I think I'm listening, even when I'm focusing so hard on my actions (or so I think), I have that dead look. Actors with ADHD (or other neurodivergences), have you ever noticed this in your acting? Were you ever able to overcome it or work with it? Are there techniques, tools, or schools of thought you found particularly useful? I'm thinking Meisner might be useful for me, but it's hard to find classes for it in my area.
i have no experience in acting whatsoever but it’s something i’ve always wanted to do. i just applied for a local commercial yesterday as an extra just to get some experience on camera. i’m interested in taking classes and learning the basics. any advice for a novice actor would be amazing! (very novice)
Hi all, short time lurker ready to dive in! I have always loved acting but kids and work and other life stuff meant it is only since I turned 40 last year I have been able to really have a go. I have a few years of private lessons under my belt and two levels of classes at my local community theatre. I have done 5 auditions so far, and scored 2 roles - "Nanny Cook" in 101 Dalmatians and "Hatter" in a musical adaptation of "Alice in Wonderland". The writer/director of Alice walked the talk on inclusivity so I worry giving me a lead (the main bad guy) has given me a false belief in my abilities. I have noticed some shows I have auditioned for and not got in have had casts that are literally entirely under 25, and there are children playing adult roles when I really think that I am a better actor than then - I'd wanna be, being 25 years older! But it still sucks every time not getting a part and I do doubt myself while knowing full well I will keep going back for more because I love it. Apart from getting more lessons, any hints on dealing with not getting a part? The roller coaster of depression and hope is playing havoc on my not very stable mental health. Thank you!
I had my very first paid voice acting job over the weekend! The pay wasn’t huge but extremely fair for the amount of work I did. I’m one step closer to being a pro voice actor!
This question is targeted for voice actors for video games that acted in a video game that's old enough for a "HD Edition". For example, Grand Theft Auto, San Andreas is part of the trilogy recently released as "The Definitive Edition". My question is, are the voice actors getting paid again, even though this time around they did not do anything. The game was re-released but no new dialogue was recorded. However, if you look at the music that was used in the video game, all the music labels will get paid again for licensing their music for GTA. This can be for any video game that was re-made or re-released. [View Poll](https://www.reddit.com/poll/uw5gs0)
So I've been using Backstage for awhile to seek out different roles, but I want to cast a slightly wider net, and I've heard about Actors Access, Casting Networks, and Playbill. I was wondering if anyone knew any more websites/avenues of approach that would be beneficial to look into and how was your experience using them? Thanks in advance!
I want to get my finances in order better but I’d like to work with an accountant that can know the ins and outs of the entertainment industry.
Should I post a shirtless picture on IMDb? Will it help or hurt my career? Hello everyone I’m a meld actor late 20s and I’m a up and coming actor and was wondering what would be an acceptable and professional approach to showing off my physique on IMDb? Would shirtless pictures turn off producers and directors? This has been bugging me for a while and I don’t know what to do anything helps. Thanks!
I wanna be an an actress so bad, I have no prior experiences neither taken classes. Don’t have money for online classes or have classes near me. What can I do in my situation??
Hello! I’m looking to start submitting my resume and reels to talent agents in Philly and NYC who represent actors in the tri-state area (I’m in central NJ). I’m new to the east coast so I’m having a hard time figuring out where to start. I’m not a beginner… had almost 20 years of representation, on the other side of the country, with both on-camera and voiceover credits on national TV, commercials, and video games. I’m just looking for agency names and even ones to avoid. Thanks!
Because they can change their tonality and body language easily
Hi i’m so sorry i wasn’t sure where to post this and this seems like a decent subreddit to ask this in, but i was wondering how do actors move so silently? such as in Daredevil (pls excuse this example i’m currently binge watching it and it’s what sparked this question) and the main character when he’s in his persona and the other stealth characters all move so silently like are they doing something or is there like padding in their shoes? i cant seem to find anything on google either before anyone suggests this. an example is 4:50 S3E8 of daredevil when a character lands on the platform and jumps off, it’s just like really silent and i don’t think they tinkered with the sound to pull this off. Thanks! sorry for the horrendous formatting
If you live in Chicago and get into SAG-AFTRA, do you… ever travel for opportunities? I have heard of some actors who live in Chicago but also have a condo in LA. How do they make that work? Wouldn’t you need to fly out for callbacks? Seems like a bad return on investment. Would love to hear your thoughts and wisdom!
Hello once again voice actors of Reddit! So I am in the process of writing out my demo, and I had a quick question. I have heard that you should leave music and sound fx out of your demo, and just stick with purely your voice. I was wondering; though, if I have the skills necessary to incorporate those elements to make it sound like an actual commercial, would it be beneficial for me to do that, or am I better off using only my voice? Anything you guys have for me on this is extremely helpful. Thanks in advance!
I'm an aspiring actor, and I don't know if I need to just be snapped out of my shitty mindset or what but I'm just not doing well. As a background, I'm a very masculine woman, and I've definetely wondered before if I'm trans which might factor into this, but I don't know. I was just thinking about what type of roles I want to play, and it's just not going to happen for me BECAUSE I'm a woman. What I really want to do is be able to play a Jack Sparrow type character, like a drunken pirate. It just doesn't bode well when a woman does it, I guess. I feel like the ony real option for me is to be a female actor and not to play the roles I want, or to give up. And even if I'm trans (Maybe) and end up transitioning, I'm not going to get cast for the roles I want to. Probably. Oh how I wish this could be easier.
Hi all, Not sure if this was the appropriate subreddit but I am a 30 year old woman living in Melbourne wanting to pursue acting. I haven’t acted in anything since high school so I’m getting back into it and wanted to join an agency. I’m working in hospitality whilst attending university for arts. Is Real People Victoria (a talent agency in Melbourne, Australia) worth it? I saw some of their reviews on Google where people were saying they weren’t getting any work and that they had to pay $100’s to get headshots taken. My goal is to be a working actress in New York City living comfortably. Thank you!
Hey everyone, I’m in my final year of university and I’m working on my final few assignments. Due to some factors outside of my control I’ve had to take extensions meaning I have two weeks to get my assignments in. I’m looking for around 3-4 voice actors for me to edit them a show reel. You could receive this for free I’m not charging at all it’s just to build my portfolio and for my university work. I’ve been studying sound and music production for the last 3 years and I’ve been directly asked to also attend the masters. If you’d be interested in this show real, you can direct message me here and we can arrange something for the next few weeks. Thank you to anyone in advance who would be interested in this!
Hi Folks Does anyone know what accent this voice is from? I hear this one all the time, from TV's to radio stations. My support worker Ian thinks this one is from Surrey. What do you guys think? [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1N8mfMcY7760OASSZqzpH4nggxBuHJ-f3/view?usp=sharing](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1N8mfMcY7760OASSZqzpH4nggxBuHJ-f3/view?usp=sharing) ​ There are many female voice actors who done work for Google, but the voice for the British version hasn't been discovered. I'm guessing she could be a staffer for Google UK, maybe!
I got some down time and decided to do my [Pilot Season list](https://www.reddit.com/r/acting/comments/g306qr/3year_totals_young_adult_pilot_season_bookings/) again to see if there has been any significant shift in the balance of casting in the young adult range due to the pandemic. There hasn't, but as usual, there are a few actors who don't show sufficient online info about their educational and training backgrounds to classify. Here they are with some notes I made about what I could tell; so, if you know them, know about them, or are one of them, please speak up or message me with their info ... **Gabriela Cartol**- The Resort - series regular - Mexican. Top of the age range with Spanish language credits going back to 2012. Did she go to University in Mexico or attend a conservatory? What did she study if anything? **Ali Hadji-Heshmati**- Lockwood & Co. - Brit. Possibly younger than 23. Headshots look like standard UK drama school showcase fare. Has IMDb credits that shot in 2019. Theatre and short film credits under "LUS." Is that an acronym for a drama or stage school? **Jayden Elijah** - Saint X - lead - Brit. Full name? Some instagram pics appear to be in the UK in an institutional setting. University? Course of study? CV on agency site doesn't show any drama school but that agency never does. Credits going back to 2011, so probably a former child star regardless. **Olivia Luccardi** - East New York - series regular - First network credits shot when she was around 22. College if any? Course of study? **Drake Rodger** - The Winchesters - series regular - Most training in Florida per Backstage. Can't tell age other than he seems to be in the lower half of the age range. College if any? Major? Full name? First indie credits were shot in Florida in 2018. Has studied at or with Cast Studio, Performer's Studio Workshop, Todd Sheeler, Andi Matheny, and Christinna Chauncey.
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.
