My resume...hit me up for any projects by ThePureBloodIdiot • last post May 9th
So far I'm a dry child actor. I've been in about 5 musicals, a web video and an advert. To enhance my skills, I joined my lower school choir for about 4 years and have performed on many concerts, live audiences and even a music video. I've done voice over like ONCE (remember that web video). I was doing another project. A short drama reciting but Covid came and it got cancelled. I've been searching and searching for projects but as soon as I want to hit apply, I get cold feet and brush it off or you need things like a video reel, which I don't have yet. I don't think I'm ready for an agent though. Just wanted to get this off my chest.
Auditioning for closure by boltimeticgiraffe • last post May 9th
Hi! I'm a 14 year old who has always loved acting. For a long time(until I was 12), I lived in a small town that was as far as you could get from Hollywood. I've always dreamed of acting professionally. I've been the lead in school plays and musicals, but I've never done anything professional. I'm going into high school next year and I've decided I want to be a lawyer. Not because I don't want to act, but because it seems out of reach. When I was younger, I'd tell myself that I'd be in a movie by the time I was in 8th grade, that I'd be famous. I realized later, the love of acting has nothing to do with wanting to be famous. It was just the ideal, perfect reality sold to me by watching way too many interviews with child actors. Anyways, I'd become content with only doing school and community plays and was moving on from this dream when I saw that there is a casting happening for the Percy Jackson book series(my favorite by far) I match the open casting call requirements roughly enough and I had to audition. If I actually got it, I might not want to uproot my life and move to LA. That's not what it's about. It's about gettin closure on a dream. I want to be able to look back, a decade from now, and say that I tried. That it wasn't meant to be. I couldn't live knowing I didn't try.
What other classes should actors attend besides acting. Ex movement, yoga etc? Thank you by npiloco14 • last post May 9th
Just a Question by LarryTheSpaceMarine • last post May 9th
I am by no means a voice actor. However i do like to make funny voices or just change my voice in general to make a joke or when me and my friends are playing a roleplaying game. I am having trouble with deeper voices as they can make me gag and even sometimes

I want to be a voice actor but I do not know how to do more then 3 voices and one of them is my own voice

Being a H***** actress must be so weird by ShuyaTheTrap • last post May 9th
When to submit yourself to agents? by adventuring_princess • last post May 8th
Hey fellow actors and actresses! I’ve been in love with this art since I was a kid. Community theater, musicals, show choir, play for the parents - the works throughout the years. I took an acting class in college and some others here and there. I’ve been with a talent agency for about 6 years. I’ve gotten small background work and a couple of commercials through them. That’s all they really book anyhow. My question is...at what time should I go ahead and try to submit to bigger agencies that may get me better auditions? I ask because I’m not a seasoned actor...but I don’t feel like I suck either. Thoughts?? Do I just go for it? Or wait years to have a solid reel for student films?
Learning how to voice act in English even if you have a rough accent? by anxietyfam • last post May 8th
Hey everyone. English isn't my first language and I have a pretty rough accent. I want to learn how to voice act but I'm not sure if I'll be able to do that without showing my rough accent. Putting aside accent specific roles for a sec, do you think you can become a voice actor even if you don't have a standard, clear English accent?

Voice Actor(s) needed for 3 short lines. by Saber-Strike • last post May 8th
I'm on the midst of posting a really goofy meme and I need one or two voice actors to voice Garfield and Jon. The line for Garfield is only one word "Lasagna?!". I'm looking for someone who can voice like how Lorenzo Music voiced Garfield. There are two short lines for Jon Arbuckle. I'm also looking for someone who can voice this character like Thom Huge. If anyone is interested in this and are able to voice these characters (with a good mic), let me know! For payment I can't do anything too crazy. This is for a small YouTube video and its just three short lines.
What sites offer free job listings? by SaucyIV • last post May 7th
I was wondering if anyone knew of sites that allowed you to post job listings for free. I'm currently looking for an actor to take part in a short YT video that can be done online (paid). The gig is incredibly easy and should take less then 30 minutes. I'm not really interested in purchasing a membership as I just need 1 actor for the task and then I'll never need it again. If anyone has some recommendations that would be great!
Can I Be My Own Agent? by AmetrisB • last post May 7th
Hi! I am currently an actress based out of Canada and have been having a hard time getting an agent. The reason for this, I think, is because I am not willing to act in scenes that require nudity, sex, or kissing. I usually tell agents this during our first meeting and as a result that is very hesitant to sign me and I have not been able to get an agent for a while now. I still love acting and want to pursue it despite the restrictions I have for myself. Is it possible for me to be my own agent - if so, how? Can I sign up for services (Breakdown services, Casting Networks, etc - all the stuff agents use) as my own agent - how does this work? Thanks!

How to get an agent? Are there smaller LA agencies for voiceover? Is there ways to book animated work that don’t go through an agent? by noiselesspatient • last post May 7th
So, I’m in a weird position—I’m in a top MFA program for Acting and I think I’m a very good actor. I’ve done podcasts and audio projects and have made an animation demo—I’ve figured out how to translate my acting skills to an audio medium. I feel like I’ve done all the things you’re “supposed” to do to have a career in this industry. But I have no idea what to do next. In TV/Film and Commercial, it seems like there’s a path: you go to school, you sign with a small agency, you book work for a few years, you move to a bigger agency. But in voice acting, it seems even the smallest roles on every animated project are repped by the same 10-or-so big agencies (CESD, Buchwald, DPN, etc.) that seem to be competitive to be repped by. I’ve been sending my demo to reps (mostly because I figure worst case scenario they trash it and forget my name in 10 minutes). And I just don’t know what to do next. Is there a Backstage or Actor’s Access-type database for animation work? On Voices.com, voices123, and Casting Call Club, it seems to be very focused on smaller commercial and promo work, and the few animated projects seem to be YouTube fan films, etc.—is there a site I’m missing, or is this a subset of this industry you truly need an agent to work in? I don’t know. I’m just lost and any advice would be helpful, haha. Is there something I’m missing?
Voicr actor needed for student research (NY accent + Southern accent) by asiansama • last post May 7th
I’m doing a project for a psychology class in school and I’m looking for a male voice capable of pulling off a New York/Brooklyn and a standard Southern accent. The script isn’t any longer than 30 seconds. Would appreciate the help! I’m offering $15 for just two reiterations of the same script in the two accents. Thank You!
Advice by lapsrrodgers • last post May 7th
So, I'm an actress; however, I don't have much experience in VOICE acting (I've voiced characters for someone's radio plays a couple of times) and I'm doing another one this weekend, but I don't really like the work I've done before (especially the first recording). I don't sound animated enough. The person I first recorded with SOUNDED like a character while I sounded like a person (if that makes sense). My voice seems flat to me, no roundness. It made me cringe tbh. I was wondering if anyone could offer any advice? VA is the ultimate goal for me as an actor, so I really want to get better at it with the opportunity I do have.
How to “make” a reel? by playapixie • last post May 6th
Hi everyone. I’m an aspiring actor in my early 30s. I don’t have any representation or professional experience but have spent a lot of time working on my craft and training with some wonderful teachers over the past few years. In one of my acting classes, I’ve heard classmates mention that they’re “shooting their real” or “having their reel made”. I always thought that a reel is something that gets created over time with experience? Basically it sounds like they’re hiring someone to produce/direct footage just for a reel. Is this a thing? I am based in LA and would love to know if anyone has had experience doing something like this, how it went, and some recommendations for someone who would be able to help me in this way. I have acted in some student films and shorts but none of them really turned out well enough to showcase my talent. Would appreciate any advice you have! Thanks for reading.
Creating A Stage Name? by AmetrisB • last post May 6th
Hi all! I am an actress and am looking to create a stage name since my legal name sounds quite foreign. I am just wondering what all the complications of creating a stage name are??? When accepting a job, do we need to inform production of our stage name, etc?
Please Don't Tell Me All an MFA is Good For is Teaching by jenwe331 • last post May 6th
I am trying to research grad school programs (specifically, MFAs in Acting), but when I speak to other actors the only input anyone has seems to be, "Well, don't get a Masters unless you want to teach. You don't need an advanced degree to act." Which isn't helpful at all when what I'm looking for is information that isn't University endorsed propaganda about what makes their program great. But I also feel like MFA Acting programs are so niche, most of the grad school groups (here and on other social media platforms) aren't really informed at all. if anyone has any information on any of the URTA schools in particular (especially the big land grant schools that I will have to really sell my fiance on because she isn't too keen on living in the middle of nowhere red state as the brown half of an interracial lesbian couple, and I really can't blame her for it) - what are their pros, their cons, do they pay or offer scholarships, how much time will be spent on stage vs in the classroom, are they affiliate with any professional theatres, what does the student body look like (do they have a variety of ages and ethnicities or are they all in white and in their 20s)? Or if you know anyone who can help... please point me their way. I am so burnt out on looking at University websites. And all the blogs that hit on the same top 5 schools again and again and again (I don't need Backstage to tell me Yale is great). Thanks so much.
