Actresses with deep voices (voice acting, film, television, YouTube, Twitch, etc.)? by BJParks • last post Mar 12th
Hi all, I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to ask, but do you know of any women with deep voices currently in entertainment? I've heard quite a few voice actresses with lower/"huskier" voices (Emma Stone, Scarlett Johansson, Katherine Hepburn), but I'm more looking for contralto/deeper tones. Deeper than (for example) [Dolya Gavanski](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjAJ5ocMWpU), [Avalon Penrose](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_EVm2ZiPSU), [Jennifer Hale](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Cw8VQXK7qw), but a little less than deep than [Shohreh Aghdashloo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGcUB55muSw&t=42s) or [Kujira](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylo-ZbDqHoY) Maybe somewhere around [Kathleen Turner](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1X5uSpcjf38&t=97s)-level or a little deeper Thanks! P.S. For any future viewers of this post, [TVTropes](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ContraltoOfDanger) has a pretty nice page with voice actresses with deeper voices, but not many have the range I'm looking for
16 Year Old Inexperienced Voice Actor unsure where to start. by Osukuru • last post Mar 12th
Hi, I'm Connor, 16, and I've just got a HyperX Quadcast; sparking my own interest to do/try voice acting. The thing is, I'm entirely unsure of where to start or if I even have a shot in this kind of community. I've casually recorded my own voice reading over things like Tumblr posts, and fake commercials using my own scripts, yet I know nothing of how to edit, what programs to use, and what websites to use. How do I make a portfolio? How do I \*make it\*? I'm dedicated to this idea. Thanks for reading, if you've got any tips or direction you can give, that'd be greatly appreciated.
need some advice by mostlypizza21 • last post Mar 12th
So i’ve always had a dream to be an actor. It faded in school as I got into sports. For the past few months all I can think about is learning to act. I’m 22 and have no experience. I didn’t do theater in school, no headshots, nothing. I’m going to be living in Pasadena CA later this year with my girlfriend. I figured being closer to LA would help a lot. Am I way behind? I feel like without any experience, I won’t get anywhere. I am just struggling to get things going at all, don’t really know what to do. I’m non binary and I feel like having somewhat a different look will help, or that’s just what I’m telling myself. Any tips? advice? what did you all do if/when you were in a position like mine? Anything is appreciated.
Nyc agent question for nyc actors by mraladdinsirwat • last post Mar 12th
Hey guys. I’ve submitted to 100 agents here in the past week and zero response. I have a good reel, i confirmed the quality check with a lot of people. I just booked a ny theatre festival as the lead, and I booked a voice acting role in a video game last week.I’m in an acting class where I consistently get good feedback. Agents open my email and don’t click on my reel. I have an email tracker. How the hell do you get an agent here? I don’t have connections. I’m also Caucasian and early 20s make so that might be why ?

Questions as a Stand-in by TheSkorpion • last post Mar 12th
I was bumped up and I think I've picked up on the basics, good people around advised me and the crew and gig is awesome. So I'd like to learn quickly and excel even. I've looked at some old Reddit posts and about to watch a YouTube video but I have a few specific questions, Thank you in advance. \- The Actor is slightly shorter and had a scene where he hang hugs over a lady from behind. As I'm not can't replicate this over the stand in lady, **I was told to hunch / lean, It was awkward for me physically but I think it got the job done, any advice for such next time?** For example hugging or kissing scenes, like with the masks it'll be fine I think but should I expect anything? ​ \- The Actor rides a bike as a BMX expert hobby, He slides around into frame. I was asked to replicate by running and sliding on shoes, But **should I mention next time** that **I can also** ride a bike? Actor also skates and long boards, both I can also manage. ​ \- The Actor has a cool, chill, whatever if it's cool vibe, and often has the whole vibe, posture, facial direction, leaning on things, hand in pocket, on a wall etc. **Should I replicate this** if it's done the majority of the scene? Or Should I just stand straighter? \- As Stand-In, **Where should I stare at?** General face area of the Stand in? \- As Stand-In, **Should I take notes?** Is that tacky? Should I pretend I have enough IQ to remember this all? ​ Thank you all.
Headshot-Age Range-Character Type Feedback by AutoModerator • last post Mar 11th
Use this thread to post your headshots for feedback, get info on your age range/type, find good headshot photographers, ask any questions you may have about headshots. If you are posting a DIY headshot for feedback, and not just a snapshot in order to get feedback on your age range/type/etc, it is advised that you do at least some basic research on what actor headshots look like--composition, framing, lighting. You will find a Google Image search for "actor headshots" to be very helpful for this. Non-professional shots are fine for age/typecasting; please keep in mind that one picture is a difficult way to go about this. Video of you moving and speaking would be ideal, but understandably more difficult to post. For what it's worth, the branding workshop at SAG-AFTRA recommends a five-year age range. That's inclusive, so for example 19-23, 25-29, 34-38, etc.
Voice Actresses needed for low budget student film (Less than 200 Words) by KDRosas • last post Mar 11th
I'm in the process of creating a short film for my college film class and I'm in need of two female voice actresses to voice two female characters. (It's real low budget, naturally, and I'm looking to offer $15 but negotiable and will be put on youtube as it's the easiest way of sharing) Character A: has around 150 speaking words and I imagine her voice to be on the calmer side. Character B: has less than 100 speaking words and has as more energetic and outgoing personality. (Bonus if you can voice this character with a FRENCH or BRITISH accent but that's not necessary) PM or email at mcynk.aramids.kdr@gmail.com if interested
I did it: I enrolled in an acting class! by Obabeta • last post Mar 11th
After few months of thinking and thinking of what my life path is, and few weeks after that light bulb in my brain turned on with "actress" written on it, I enrolled in a local acting class. I'm looking forward to it. It feels right in my gut. It makes me excited as I haven't been in a couple of years (early mid life crisis?). I just wanted to share with somebody who can understand!
Should an actor in NC seek representation in GA? Are there any talent managers, not just agents in Atlanta? by nacho__mama • last post Mar 11th
At this point in my career I don't really want to be pursuing commercials anymore or anything that is just for money. I'd like to focus on quality projects. I've done enough short films but I'd like to get even a small speaking part in a feature film or TV show. I have representation in NC but the only thing my agent has to offer are commercials usually a long distance away and there's nothing going on here with television or film but sometimes they will send me something happening in SC. I know everything is happening in Georgia but are there any talent managers to help me actually find what I'm interested in and not just things that make money? When I lived in L.A I worked for a talent management company. They are very different than talent agents. Perhaps I should look in NYC too? I am of course willing to travel once things go back to normal. I'm hoping auditions will be more online and it won't be such a problem that I do not live in NYC or Atlanta year-round.
Question for you fine people by xXBIG_FLUFFXx • last post Mar 11th
How many of you are actually earning as a voice actor? When did you start VA and how long did it take for you to get an agent and actually earning? And lastly, how many of you are full time VA and can support yourself? I'm just curious.
Best Place to Train as a Beginning Actor/Musician? by MedjoolQueen11 • last post Mar 11th
I've graduated from high school shortly after the pandemic. I've been practicing my craft both in acting and performing arts (poetry, music, dance) via workshops, comm. college classes, and some local group jam sessions, and would love to move somewhere that has good opportunities for acting training and music connections. I know, LA is the best bet, however the only thing I can't get past is car ownership combined with rent, is it worth it overall? Because of this, Chicago has peaked my interest and after some research, I feel like Chicago would be a great place for both acting training and a diverse place for musicians while keeping expenses low. My overall goal with acting would be in film/tv, although I keep seeing that theater training is essential for a great actor. I currently live in Tacoma, about 40 mins away from Seattle. What do you think, Chicago or LA? Are there any actors who are musicians or artists as well, care to share your opinion?
Is a theater degree worth it? by Graciec287 • last post Mar 11th
So I have to choose my college soon and I am stuck between going to a school where I can study theater intensely and get a BFA or go to a school where I get a BA in theater and BA in something else. I absolutely love acting but I’m worried that if I don’t make it as an actor my theater degree will be useless. Will I be okay if I have a BFA in theater and a minor in something else, or should I go to a less theater intense school and double major?
Hustling up work and bringing it to an agency by pppnyc • last post Mar 11th
Any of you have ideas or experience in hustling up work and bringing it in to the agency? I'm a New York actor. I've got two agents vying for me, and will likely sign with one of them in the next week or so. That decision is making me crazy, but I'm sure my gut will tell me what's right. Getting an agent is when the work truly begins. It's a partnership. I want to make things happen, and make my own opportunities. Any ideas? Tactics you used in the past that worked?
I may have an animation project in the future that would require voice acting: by No_Significance_573 • last post Mar 11th
I would just like to know in advanced how would i go about asking for voice actors? Which platform is best? Its not a professional gig or one I would put in my portfolio, so would compensation be part of the discussion? If so (no prob!) but how would they charge? Do they email me the recordings and I just provide the script? Etc.
Best way to contact/hire a voice actor to be in my next live stream via Twitter? by MindsEyeTHPS • last post Mar 11th
Title (kinda) says it all. Specifically I would like to have a voice actor of a particular game/cartoon be a part of my (next) live stream on Twitch. I am going to use **Twitter** to try and make it happen. Would I mention that VA in a tweet? What should I say to them that they have enough information that they'll even consider responding? How do I make it short 'n sweet? That VA only has 1K followers on their Twitter, and lacks a checkmark, hence why I see the chances of such response (and even that next live stream) more or less medium to least high. Not to mention the last time they were on Cameo, they were only asking $50 for such a shoutout, hence why again, there is some potential that it could happen (as they are potentially B, or even C-list, so they must not be as well known, and may be mid-to-low profile, despite having been in a well known cartoon). On a side note they have been posting frequently again lately. And yes, I already know which VA I have in mind, and I know unless (a 1 in 1000 or even a million chance) they follow me, I can't DM them directly via Twitter's DM feature.
Acting agencies in Australia by Relevant_Fix716 • last post Mar 10th
I'm about to turn 18, and want to start my acting career. I live in Australia, and want to be an actor more than anything in the world! I can't imagine my life doing anything else. I have been acting for as long as I can remember, in school production, and some other performances out of school. I was wondering if anyone on this knew any good acting agencies in Australia? I would appreciate it a lot :)
