I have a plethora of questions.

Hey everyone. Sorry if this post violates the server rules, I'm not entirely certain if it does, but I have a handful of questions about voice acting, as I'm in a bit of a strange position. I've wanted to be an actor for years, but now I'm starting to...

How to hire people?

Hi, I'm an indie game dev working on my 2nd game, and I'm considering adding voice acting to it once the script is done and implemented ( so, most probably in a few years ). However, I have absolutely no clue where I can hire people and how expensive it can...

Not sure if I'm actually gonna post this

I (14M) think I want to be an actor but I don't know what to do. I know I'd have to tell my parents to actually start doing anything, but I want to be sure that this is what I want to do with my life first. I haven't even tried much or anything like that yet...

Long self-tapes with short deadlines

I recently got a self tape tonight (Wednesday) with 13 pages, 3 scenes (roughly 4-6 pages per scene and the deadline is Friday Morning. I don’t know if anyone else is finding this, but I’m finding it really hard to learn long scenes in such a short space of...

Hard rule for takes. Don't stop!

I've been told this by casting agents and now in the time of self taping, I reaffirmed for myself. I stopped toward the end of a take cuz I thought I did a line with the wrong energy. Imagine my dismay when as I was editing, my partner and I both said "This...

Union v. Nonunion post-pandemic: pros and cons?

So this is specifically about AEA: but if anyone has insight to sister unions I’m sure it would be helpful to somebody out there too. When the pandemic hit I was a theatre actor with 45 EMC weeks, and an upcoming contract that would take me Equity at the end...

I am SO over seeing these types of roles for women!

I know men don’t get these breakdowns through LACasting, but for us girls, we are constantly getting “gold digger” roles to submit too. For those of you that aren’t familiar... it’s the “real women, not actors” videos, in which a dude approaches a girl and...

Any Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) actors on here?

Just curious if any of you identify as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)? Interested to hear how it intersects with your acting, if it improves/enhances it, or gets in the way? How do you navigate the business part of it like auditions, agents, etc?

Should I put scare acting experience on a resume.

I haven’t really done any acting stuff outside of school besides fright fest and hallow fest. Should I put my scare acting on my actors access resume. It’s basically interactive improv theatre but still, I’m worried people might not take it seriously at all...

Voiceover actor advice

I’ve decided to expand my acting career and tap into voice acting. What do you guys recommend as far as equipment and accessories? I know some microphones pick up certain ranges better than others so it just makes things a little confusing on decision making...

Rant: Crappy Low Budget Projects

I'm non-union in a small market and auditions have been scarce during COVID. When I do find auditions, the projects suck! I'm not even talking about the storyline, I'm talking about the dang script. So much is expected of us as actors (make sure to self-tape...

I have acting experience, no idea for what classes to take, and wanting to make a demo reel.

I had no idea what to title this exactly, so let me explain. I also apologize in advance if this is answered somewhere. I am struggling and have been for a long time as to what “classes” I should be taking for voice acting. I know that there’s plenty of...

Missi Pyle is such an incredible character actor. I feel like she flies under the radar and always knocks it out of the park with her roles, such as Galaxy Quest, Dodgeball, and Along Came Polly. What an awesome acting career!

When did you know it was time to turn Equity?

I'm an EMC actor who is currently sitting at 25 points. I've put a good amount of thought into when I eventually want to turn, but I don't think I want to do it super soon. My logic has been that I want to get a good amount of non-union/union credits on my...

Self-confidence: is it an illusion or is it a requirement for success as an actor?

I could just be seeing it wrong, so definitely correct me, but it seems like a lot of well known actors (and maybe successful people in general) believe in themselves and have a considerable amount of self-confidence. It could just be the social media effect...

Have you ever had a direct booking?

Have you ever gotten a direct booking without auditioning? I'd be interested in hearing about your experience. \[Note\] I'm not an actor. I'm just interested in hearing about it if anyone wants to share their experience.
