Voice Actor Looking to Play Villains

I absolutely love playing a bad guy, anything from a deep gritty voice, chaotic evil, manic cold and calculating. I have quite the range and I'm up for anything! I have time to do a few projects for free so PM me!

I'm an actor and when I play a sad character I get too into the role and end up being sad myself.

Is there any way to stop this from happening?

Should I become an actress?

I’ve always been interested and curious about acting but my parents never let be because they never thought it was realistic. Now I’m 21 on my own. Yesterday I took a free trial acting class and I really liked it. We did this commercial practice and it felt...

Anyone willing to watch a tape of what I’m using for a college audition for feedback before the actual day arrives? Looking for people who will be BRUTALLY HONEST! Either dm or comment!

Thank you all so much! I feel like I’m a terrible actress but I also have terrible anxiety so a brutally honest person who will tell me if I suck would be amazing!

Martha Graham's Quote on Judging One's Own Creativity

I had an experience last week on a set where I was frustrated because I couldn't tell how I was doing. All I knew for sure, was that the goals I set for myself were accomplished during each take (which is really all that an actor has control of during a...

Does submitting after 6PM decrease likelihood of submission being seen?

Hi, I submit alot to Actors Access on projects that aren't student films and I assume are more competitive. I have tried to maximize the algorithm by adding slate shots, including a reel, etc. etc. However, I'm wondering how much time plays a factor in...

Can I have 1 on 1s with CDs when represented?

Is it worth it to pay for acting lessons from a well-known theater in my area, if it means I might have to do it all over Zoom?

Basically, with the pandemic being a dick and my having genetic vulnerabilities that make me nervous even though I'm vaxxed, I don't know that I would be able to attend these lessons in person once the case numbers start going up again in my area. It's been a...

Crying because of a scene, but not because of the character itself

As an actor, does anyone else find themselves being immersed in a show/film, and crying at an amazing performance, but sometimes it’s not just the performance that makes me cry, but the idea of acting in that moment, the idea of reaching into that deep place...

Probably the Greatest Sentence to Sum Up the Method

If you are going to impersonate an accent, please please do your research and listen to authentic native speakers.

I know this is probably common sense for a lot of us. I can't tell you the number of times how often I come across someone's profile including they can do 15-20 accents and it is so far off the mark. I just kinda cringe when I see a lot of folk saying on...
