    HELP: The Tedious Task of Picking Self Tape Takes

    Do I need a naturally-distinctive voice?

    I don't have a naturally 'distinctive' voice, a la James Earl Jones, Richard Kind, Will Arnett, or even the VOs from the Headspace app. Now, I know the former are celebrities so that's a different ball game, but what I mean is mine isn't (naturally)...

    Auditioning Actor - New Term

    You know, there is a "working" actor and a "non-working" actor. What about the actor who is in the in-between. I feel like we should normalize the consistent SAG-AFTRA full budget production auditioning actor as "auditioning actor". That way people outside...

    Should I tell My agent about this?

    I just got my first LA agent a few months back. I don't get sent out by them very often, and all the things I've booked, I booked on my own and give them a cut of the money. For the last three years, I've done Universal Studios Horror Nights as a scare actor...
