Self-Tape VS In-Person Auditions

Recieved an offer from an LA manager. I am not sure why/if this actor is lying to me about their relationship to the manager?

What to include and NOT to include on a website?

Hi folks. I have had a website for a long, long time and have updated it a few times over the years. In terms of website content, what do you feel should be elements of a voice actor's website and what do you think would be excess or superfluous content?

Non-paying gigs asking you to travel w/o reimbursement.

Apologies if this gets a little rant-ey. So I’m at that awkward stage in my career where I’m taking a lot of no pay/student gigs in order to build my reel. For the most part the experience hasn’t been too bad, all things considered. Today I was offered a...
