Union work while being non-union by Ukkeliboi • last post Jan 26th
Can a non-union voice actor also do union work? Because I know that union actors aren't allowed to do non-union work or something like that but is it different the other way around? I would assume that non-union voice actors would get paid less.

auditions actor access by sunnyastrosun • last post Jan 26th
when do casting directors usually message you back on actor access for auditions? i recently submitted for a project and been waiting to get the audition portion. When i’ve submitted for other projects they usually responded in 4-5 days lol so also why do they take so long?
Seeking VAs for Small Animated Production by Nate_Oh_Potato • last post Jan 25th
# Introduction I am currently working on a mature cartoon titled **"Intercontinental Drag Racing"**. *(I label it as "mature" simply because of some of the swearing and occasional violence in it, though it's nothing too extreme.)* I am currently looking for voice actors to play the roles of main and side characters in the first episode, which is in production. Because of the minimal (and just about nonexistent) budget, the positions are unpaid, but the main characters will have recurring roles if the show continues. **The synopsis:** In a dystopian future obsessed with drag racing, Rho, an orphan racer from the inner city, strives to win the two billion dollar grand prize from the world’s first Intercontinental Drag Race in order to save his home city from its downfall. Each episode aims to be around 18-22 minutes total, which is a similar length to a lot of other mature cartoons (with the best example being Rick and Morty). Below are the characters being cast for the first episode. Included with each character is a "celebrity actor" choice, which helps to better understand what kind of voice we're looking for. # Characters List **RHO (16-18)**, an orphan racer from the inner city. Full of optimism, constantly battling discrimination and loneliness. Refuses to use deadly weapons during races. Japanese. Male. ***Celebrity actor choice: Ryan Potter.*** **LODA (34-38)**, the leader of the city's gang and head of the drug operation. Holds a grudge against Rho for thwarting the gang's plans on multiple occasions. African American. Female. ***Celebrity actor choice: Taraji P. Henson.*** **SPARKS (18-22)**, the youngest member of the gang. Extremely energetic and over-the-top. Always ready to use his electric weapons to gain the edge in races. Male. ***Celebrity actor choice: Zeno Robinson.*** **HOLT (40-50)**, the oldest and most intimidating member of the gang. Adopted a tough/abusive personality after facing a childhood full of trauma. Will fiercely defend fellow gang members, but will never admit to it. Male. ***Celebrity actor choice: Brad Garrett.*** **BUSINESS MAN (20-40)**. Minimal speaking lines, but quite a few "noise" lines. A simple character but vital to the opening of the episode. **WORRIED ANCHORMAN (30-60)**. Speaking lines in the beginning of the episode. Self-explanatory character. **EAGER NEWS ANCHOR (30-60).** Speaking lines halfway through the episode. Self-explanatory character. **TOUGH GANG MEMBER (22-40)**. Challenges the gang's leadership at the end of the episode. Minimal speaking lines. If you're interested in any of these characters, or would simply love to lend your voice to the project, leave a comment or shoot me a message! Anyone interested in the main characters will be sent a portion of the script to audition with. Thanks for reading through all this mumbo-jumbo! Have an incredible day!
What happens to actors who are the subject of a very significant negative news story early in their acting career? by aandAction • last post Jan 25th
[https://www.vice.com/en/article/qjpx7m/wealthy-couple-rodney-baker-charged-for-flying-north-to-take-vaccine-meant-for-yukon-first-nation](https://www.vice.com/en/article/qjpx7m/wealthy-couple-rodney-baker-charged-for-flying-north-to-take-vaccine-meant-for-yukon-first-nation) [https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/great-canadian-gaming-ceo-yukon-covid-vaccines-1.5886734](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/great-canadian-gaming-ceo-yukon-covid-vaccines-1.5886734) Just curious. Ekaterina Baker has been active for what looks like two years, doing mainly small stuff (although from her [IMDb bio](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm9698063/) she appears to have ambitious aspirations). Curious whether she gets dropped from her agency or is able to find representation/work after this. Any thoughts?
Let's share interviews/press things! Here's one I did recently, woo! by cavenator • last post Jan 25th
Like all of us, I've had a rough year in this industry. I only auditioned a handful of times, and I got dropped by two agencies. When I was offered the chance to be interviewed for a blog, I had to say yes! Any other actors do some press recently they'd like to share?! I'd love to read up!

SAG-Aftra in a Band by AfterAndroids • last post Jan 25th
If I am an actor with a SAG-Aftra membership and I am in a band, do I have to have a waiver or SAG-Aftra participation to be in my own music videos? It might make it a little more complicated, but I'm just wanting to make sure I am not crossing any lines before we start production. I am not a member of AGMA or any other musicians union.

Issues with touch by barfingclouds • last post Jan 25th
Hello there, I’m a male new actor, late 20s. I have issues with touch but it’s not from ptsd or sexual abuse or anything. I’m often very uncomfortable with it and don’t know how to do it naturally. I’ve seen in acting classes people spontaneously do stuff like patting someone on the back as they’re walking by. Stuff like that that is normal for people. I don’t know if I can organically do that kind of stuff. I’m also bisexual which gives touch with anyone an extra layer of complexity. Anyways I’d love to hear from others who have maybe had a similar issue as me and what they’ve done about it
What makes a great actor great? by TheVagabondStache • last post Jan 25th
Business side of acting: a few questions. HELP! by lexsynia1 • last post Jan 25th
Hello! Soooo I have a few things I'd like to get more info on from more experienced actors or people from all sides of the biz. Sorry if some of these are difficult to answer! Background: I'm 24F (can play 17-26), Native American (but submits as ethnically ambiguous), 5ft 5in and average build and learning more about my type as I go along. 1- I recently signed with a boutique agent in LA and I'm super excited (my first agent!). I've signed up for a few casting websites and I'm looking at gigs of course but I'm curious what more I can be doing? So I have an agent, when I'm looking to submit, do I tell my agent every time I submit or can I do a "weekly update"? 2- when watching movies/tv, how exactly do you learn from watching someone's performance? What exactly are you looking for and how do you use it? 3- Another Redditr in r/acting talked about having an "aesthetic" as an actor. How do you decide this? Also, how do I brand myself? (2 in 1 question sorry ) 4- THE BIG QUESTION: How does this game work, and how do I play it well? While success is relative, I want it so bad. I want to be here in this industry, I want to do well. I want more than anything to be considered a somebody (hopefully soon) in this industry. What would you say is a key to get there?
signed with a pretty decent small management company and I’d like to know the tactful way to be assertive about advancing my career by peacebewithyou99 • last post Jan 25th
I know they have relationships. I know I am new to them, I know I may not have enough credits for the agents they do have relationships with, so maybe I ask them to help me get somebody closer towards my level? Should I be expecting them to do this on their own? I know that’s what a good manager does. I don’t want to come off annoying and like I’m expecting too much to happen too fast but at the same time you don’t get a trophy or a prize for being afraid to push things, years will pass and nothing will happen if you are not assertive. I just want to work. I signed with them a month ago, I’m kinda surprised they haven’t gotten me any auditons yet, considering my other lower level reps have since the new year. They did mention trying to get me a read for a role on a popular show shooting in their market. While I wrestle with the thoughts of what’s appropriate somebody else is being brave and doing what they have to do for themselves. I just don’t know at what point do I let somebody else entirely steer the ship... I’m still trying to build my ship... and I dont want to shit the bed. Also, when a “bigger” actor has multiple reps, how can you ascertain which one of their reps got them that role? I feel like we do all this research and its not even accurate. all these hidden hands.
Is James Gandolfini as Tony Soprano best acting performance of all time including both movies and tv? by Uros098 • last post Jan 25th
I have seen a lot from Marlon Brando,Al Pacino,De Niro etc.I saw Bryan Cranston's Walter White.They were all brilliant,especially Marlon Brando and Al Pacino. But there is no performance that amazed me like Gandolfini's portrayal of Tony Soprano. We are not talking about quality of movies and tv shows from these actors(they are all great).We are just talking pure acting.
What Do Casting Directors Send to Producers when they Shortlist their Actors? by nancysong74 • last post Jan 24th
I guess this question is more for the one's who have interned/worked at a CD office. I realized that the producers/decision makers probably don't have access to our full Actor's Access profiles...so what materials do CD's usually send to accompany our tapes? Also I'd like to know how the CD's share the tapes. Is it through DropBox or some other sharing medium. Is this also why having a professional website/ IMDb profile with all your headshots is important?
Is it Worth Getting IMDb Pro as a Rookie Actor? by nancysong74 • last post Jan 24th
I recently did a short film in which one of the cast members decided to add their part to their IMDb credits, so there was a profile created automatically for me. Now that the casting landscape as turned to digital, actor's IMDb is inevitably going to be searched up by CD, producers, directors. So I was wondering, is it worth buying IMDb Pro to up my game? I never booked anything professional so all I can add are my student film credits. Please let me know your thoughts, thanks!
I'd like to get in touch with some UK actors. by FingersToKeyboard • last post Jan 24th
Hi. I'm currently planning on starting a youtube channel in order to build a video production portfolio. I want to start doing freelance work as well as potentially apply for jobs. So I need some content under my belt. It's something I've always wanted to do and I beleive in my ability to do it if I just get the ball rolling. My idea for my first project is to write a bunch of short scripts, perhaps 5 pages or so. Just short conversations between two people exploring various moments in human relationships. Conflicts between lovers, general discussions with family members, comedic exchanges between friends, people giving each other advice. Anything and everything that people might talk about. I want to focus on human interaction in all of it's forms, condensed into short 5 minute conversations. Actors of all ages, races and genders are welcome. I will be starting this project at some point in 2021. I'm based in Birmingham so the ability to travel to Birmingham would be essential. However depending on ideas and scripts I may go to other places. Of course Covid is a bit of a pain so we'll have to see how it goes. Given the brief nature of the videos I plan on making, shooting wouldn't take more than a day. I plan on having scenes already set up and lit a certain way to give a professional, cinematic feel. And I will absolutely pay you for your time. Hopefully it can be a mutually beneficial experience and add to not only my portfolio, but yours as an actor as well. I'd love to get in touch with some actors here in the UK who might be interested in being a part of this sort of thing. And even though starting this project is probably a little way off yet, it'd be nice to at least get in contact with people willing to take part so that I can contact you when I'm ready to shoot. ​ Thanks very much! Liam.
