Being a POC actor in Hollywood... by Bourbon_Lake524  •  last post Mar 29th

Being an actress is my lifelong dream but lately I’ve been thinking if I will book jobs once I really put myself out there. I’m very insecure with how I look and the prejudice against POCs aren’t really helping my confidence. I used to view Hollywood as the poster-blonde-blue eyed-tall girls land and I’m not that. For years, I’ve struggled with internalized racism. “Why do I look like this?” “Why is my bone structure not as pretty as theirs?” “I wish my hair is blonde/red”.. All of this took a toll on me and this turned me into a more insecure person. Lately, Hollywood is becoming more diverse. Casting more POC, even having an Asian as a lead character. I feel like this slow progress is a good thing but I think there’s still a lot going on behind the scenes. There’s still a lot of POC actors struggling with racism they face. Obviously, I have not experienced the extent of the prejudice they’ve faced but I’ve dealt with some racism in the past. I even used to tell my self I’m hispanic passing. People of color struggles with booking jobs because of the look requirements. Now, I don’t know if this is really true but I get the feeling that it is. I think that people of color, especially Asians, has it harder because most TV shows and movies don’t cast Asians for big roles unless it’s crucial to the plot. Anyway, rant over. I’m just hoping that POCs can really be fully accepted and seeing some POC movie/TV characters gives me hope for the future. I know that achieving this dream will be tough and I’m prepared to face judgements but I just want to be able to act whether it be for a blonde or brunette character. I hope this made sense. Let’s work hard for our dreams <3

Looking for a voice actor for my short stories by reallawsonray  •  last post Mar 29th

Hi all, I write horror short stories for my website every other week and I'm looking to expand from just the website and twitter to YouTube as well to attract a larger audience. I am planning on having the audio narrations and a sort of slideshow of spooky pictures (I'm not the best with iMovie), more so people can listen instead of read the stories. I don't currently make any money doing this, so I can't offer payment for the role. I am more looking for a partnership in developing my writing and a "coworker's" voice acting. If profits do come out of the YouTube videos I'd of course split that when the time comes, I was thinking 50/50. You can find my short stories at lawsonray.com. Please feel free to reach out to me if you're interested.

What do you put as the subject in an email to a casting director? by careyin  •  last post Mar 29th

Basically I wanna email a celebrated theatre casting director who is casting for a musical I’d be great for. I’ve written the email itself but I’m unsure what to put in the subject. (Say the CD is called John Smith) FAO John Smith - Actor Submission (OP’s name) Or, Actor Submission - OP’s name Or something else? If it helps I live in the U.K., it’s a British casting director.

need feedback on voice narration by Holioo  •  last post Mar 29th

i just started a week ago and i need feedback on what i need to improve on. heres the link [Testaudiobookmaster by junesr | June Junior | Free Listening on SoundCloud](https://soundcloud.com/june-junior-511214084/testaudiobookmaster) &#x200B; here's is the excerpt from the book which i typed out becuase i couldnt copy baste " Length refers to the duration of a speech sound achieved without change in its phenetic quality. Since vowel sounds and continuant consonant sounds (nasals, the lateral consonant sound and fricatives) involve a single articulatory position, they could conceivable last as long as a breath can last. The same is true of the glide from one vowel element to another in the creation of a diphthong sound. The lengths of speech sounds are governed by phonetic laws of which most people are unaware; however, an understanding of these laws is essential to the student who wants to speak without a regional dialect or to the person learning to speak English as a second language. Since the lengths of the sounds in a language are the very essence of its rhythms, knowing about them is invaluable for both the student of oral interpretation and for the actor endeavoring to enter the rhythmic life of a character. In this book, and in any general discussion of Spoken English, length refers to the duration of sounds in proportion to one another, rather than to their length in real time. No one is actually going to time the length of a sound with a stop watch. Bear in mind also that even in persons whose speech conforms to one standard of pronunciation, there is a good deal of individual and contextual variation in sound-length and rhythm. In Spoken English, the rules for the length of are many and complex, depending on stress and on what sounds follow within a word. In general, all sounds tend to be... " My questions are: What parts of my speech do i need to work on before it can be comparable to a real "narrator" instead of a random amateur? how much more time should i expect to invest in practicing voice acting before i can expect see any opportunities arise this hobby?

Where do you get cast as a background actor? by ADeathCalledSusan  •  last post Mar 28th

Is there a website or something you would recommend? Or do they post on [Indeed.com](https://Indeed.com) or something? Thank you!

How do actors write letters to celebrities? by lovetempests  •  last post Mar 28th

I’m not talking about fanmail but more like, how Carey Mulligan sent Julian Fellows letters when she was 18 to ask for him to help her start her career and guide her. Or other cases where actors say they sent emails/letters to celebrities or other established industry folks who could help them. First of all, how the heck do you get them to reply? I can’t imagine most celebrities being interested in replying. Secondly, do these people get the celebrity’s private email/actual address to write a letter to? Or send Instagram DMs? Or through their agents? It’s something that’s always baffled me as I’d be too anxious to message Phoebe Waller Bridge and ask her to mentor me or even give me advice.

Do entry level / independent agents exist? by Spydertek242  •  last post Mar 28th

Besides acting I am also a low / no budget filmmaker on the side. I can post a breakdown on some boards advertising for a student DP, Editor, Composer etc looking to build their reels and resumes. Is their an Agent equivalent? Someone to scan breakdowns and submit resumes, clips, and headshots to suitable role breakdowns and setup auditions on behalf of an actor? I know they couldn’t negotiate the contract on behalf but are there entry people who help with the legwork for a fee / percentage and experience?

Looking for any actors (or anyone interested) in participating in a short series project I am working on for fun. by mauriciofcost  •  last post Mar 28th

Hello everyone! My name is Mauricio, and it is my first time here (I love how supportive and empathetic most of the people here seem to be of each other). I am making and acting in one episode of a short series I am writing on my own for fun, and I am looking for a couple people who might be interested in joining. Voice recordings (and video recordings - if any) will be totally remote. This will be for fun, and I intend to share it on the Internet when it is ready. I would be happy to talk more to anyone interested! \- Mauricio.

I have some acne scars and it makes me very self conscious as an actor. I wish they showed more actors on television and movies that didn’t have perfect skin!

It’s a very easy part, only 4 lines, and of course I am willing to pay for your services. Please contact me either here or email me: cole.simp32@gmail.com if interested
