Directing an African American voice actor... by deafness • last post Jun 27th
I recently recorded a couple spots for a TV ad that is directed towards African Americans. I hired an African American voice over actress and I felt she did a really good job. My superiors on the other hand, could not "tell that she was black". They now want me to try and re-record the spot and see if she can sound a bit more ethnic. As a white guy, I'm pretty lost as to how to request something like this. What is the industry standard for directing this type of work? Is there a right/wrong way to go about it? Would like to hear what you all think. Thanks in advance!
In need of opinions by XigbarTheRevenant • last post Jun 11th
Probably a bit off subject for this sub, but I was wondering what voice actors/actresses people would REALLY enjoy seeing at conventions, also bands if you feel like adding those, just any guests really. Also if anybody knows any other subs I could use to post about this please help if possible :D
Looking for some advice from semi-established/established voice actors/actresses by gijinkaa • last post Jun 11th
Hey voice actors and actresses of reddit. Like many others, I'm an aspiring voice actress who's 20 years old. I'd like some advice on the next step to take in furthering my VO journey. So far I've taken 1 6-week course in voice over. In that course I met in a group for an hour once a week. Besides that I have a handful (~6-8) of private 1 on 1 voice over lessons. I have clean, professional-sounding recordings from all of those. Unfortunately I've hit a roadblock and I won't be able to continue private lessons for a few more months. This year I wanted to finish private lessons, do headshots, create a website by the end of August or September, and begin applying to agencies. I also wanted buy a nice beginner mic to use at home when not out doing jobs by the end of the year. My time frame is going to be messed up majorly by my setback. I don't want to create a website until my lessons and demo are wrapped up. I'll probably bump my headshots up to next month because I have nothing better to do, I guess. I don't want to buy a mic yet and have it sit in the corner. I practice when I can but I still feel like I'm wasting time because that's all I'm doing. (I'm aware practice is super important but there are other aspects as well I feel like I'm missing.) What's the next step I should take? I'd love your advice.

Tips for selecting photos for your actor's website? by icandrownoceans • last post May 10th
How do I know which ones to select? Obviously, I am going for ones where I am engaged and in character. But do you have any other suggestions on how to narrow it down? CD's and directors, what do you look for? Actors, which have you found to be best?
What is the best platform for creating an actor's website on your own with little skill to do so? by icandrownoceans • last post May 9th
I have an eye for design but am, by no means, a professional web designer. I can't code or anything like that. I want a website that is clean and simple but has some character/quirk to it. I can't afford more than $10-20 a month. The cheaper the better. Any tips???
