Young VA, looking to get started. Need advice. I have a deeper voice than corpse and a lot of people have told me I should get into VA

To my biracial actors, how do you feel about auditions for "full" minority race characters.

I'm half Caucasion and half Korean, and I very much look like it. In a room full of white people, I definitely look not white, but in a room full of Koreans/Asians, I look white af. My agents and manager get me a lot of auditions for roles that are obviously...

Are multiple takes standard (without having to ask)?

I've hired five voice actors from Fiverr. The first three all read each line 2 to 4 times. It was not written in their advertisements that they would do this (nor did I request it), but I was very grateful for it. However, the last two only did one take. The...

Creating Your Own Footage?

I’ve booked several commercials but only three costars and zero film. The funny thing is, it’s a catch 22: you need a reel to be seen for theatrical and you need theatrical credits for a reel. I’ve heard of actors writing and filming their own materials, but...

Losing a Job due to Covid, anyone else?

So the title says it all. I got booked for a project and it was background role and NU, but the payment would have covered my rent and most of my basic expenses for the month. I tested positive for Covid (fully vaxxed and boosted) a week and a half before the...

Wasn't paid residuals for a SAG-AFTRA project which ran for a month. Now what? Is there a late fee?

Basically booked a radio spot, got the session fee, then - nothing. Look sometimes these things don't run. But months later I had this feeling in my gut that it ran. I don't know how to describe it other than that. It was just an intuition. I used personal...

Are there any actors here who are signed to a Los Angeles market but don’t live in California? Do LA agencies sign people who don’t live in Los Angeles? How’s it working out?

Pretty much what the titles says. I’m just curious, if LA agents even consider people who don’t live in the LA market.
