Does your rep get you feedback from casting directors?

I smirked at this when (long overdue) reading Jenna Fischer's book "The Actor's Life" - some great insights for all levels in it but when she writes to get feedback from Cds from your reps...do your reps do that for you? ​

So I have a big audition tape due in a couple days and the sides that have been given to me are pretty lengthy. I’m worried I might not have time to memorize everything for the tape. Another actor friend recommended I use a teleprompter app to read off of and...

Has anyone heard back from Disney Showcase NY?

Has anyone gotten an audition from them? I know people in LA did a few weeks ago, but I don't know anyone in NY who's heard back which is odd since some of them are great actors with good agents that I would've expected to make it past the screening round.

YouTube channel asking for narrators said my price was too high. Should I let this opportunity pass?

So I saw a YouTube channel that I follow asking for voice actors. I sent my audition in and he liked my voice and said they could do it for their next video and see how the audience responds. Then he asked for my price. I told him I could do $100 per video...

Is being "indie" fair justification for paying voice actors less?

I hope everyone is doing well. Recently, it seems as though most paid auditions out there stipulate one of a few things: 1. "Please send your cost per line or word" - a manner in which the VO industry doesn't operate as far as I can tell, and a way of saying...
