On-Camera-Acting as a minor

Hi everyone! This may be kind of a silly question, my apologies Does anyone here have a link regarding acting as a minor? More in the sense of legality and permits and such. Can minors use sites such as actors access? Do you need some form of worker permit?...

Questions about technique and timbre (specifically grit and distortion)

As long as I can remember I’ve been fascinated by voices, pitch, tone, timbre, color etc…(I am also a musician) It amazes me how dramatically some VAs can manipulate their voice, especially those who work on animated programs. For example take someone like...

Is it ok to email a casting director about a listing of theirs on Actor's Access?

Heres the situation, if I submitted to a role on Actor's Access, would it be a big no-no to ALSO look up the CD and email them directly? Normally I would say no, but I've seen some CD's have open casting calls on their own webiste. Wondering if they would...

Does anyone else struggle with how to interpret praise?

This is a weird thing, I know. If someone says they like you and your work, you should just take the compliment, right? But I tend to doubt it's real. It's kind of a combination of a rough childhood and the nature of the business. I've been doing this long...

Is it more important to be represented by a top agency or a top management company ?

I would assume most actors prioritize signing with a good agent more so than with a manager. In fact, isn't the impetus for most actors signing with managers so that they can get referrals/meetings with agents? Correct me if I'm wrong. Or is it case by case?...
