Have a meeting with a talent manager... what should I expect? by EntertainerBusy3132  •  last post Jan 23rd

Hey all! I recently participated in an open call, and was lucky enough to be contacted by a reputable Los Angeles Talent Manager who set up a meeting with me! I'm curious if there is anything specific I should expect other than us getting to know one another, and me asking her a few questions... should I expect to perform? I have experience with agency meetings in the smaller market that I'm a part of, but am not sure how greatly agency meetings differ from management meetings. I'd love to hear from working actors who could give me some perspective! Thanks so much.

New VA Looking for Experience by Bungalowbear  •  last post Jan 23rd

Hey guys, just posting to say that if anyone needs a voice actress, you can PM me! I am new so I don’t have a demo, unfortunately, but I have a few auditions that I could send to anyone who needs it! I can do voices ranging from Barbie to Catwoman; I have a pretty good voice range. If you need a certain type of voice just let me know and I will be willing to do the best I can! I can also do a good British accent and Southern. I’m working on my Australian and Brooklyn accents, so with a little practice those will be more I can do. I am looking for any experience I can, whether it be for films, audiobooks, or video games! I am open to all VA and VO work. I am also a singer, if you need that for anything. My vocal range is soprano for my high range and pretty low alto for my low range. Please PM me if you need my voice for anything!

The dream of becoming a Childhood Actor by MichaelVerce  •  last post Jan 23rd

I’m 15 I live in the EU. My parents are Vietnamese. My dream have always been to be come an childhood actor in an American movie, but there’s 3 problems. 1. I don’t live in the US, and my English is only okay. 2. There’s barely a demand for Asian roles, let alone me being from Vietnam. 3. I don’t where or how I’m gonna get started. I do have some acting experience, from participation in school theaters. But that’s about it. I wish to pursue the career of being a childhood actor, but I’m pretty certain that I should just forget about it. I would like some advice.

Acting Classes - Abusive Teachers and Casting Directors by Citygal123  •  last post Jan 23rd

I've been in and around the acting community for the past 12 years. During lockdown I've been reflecting on some of my actor training and classes. I've had some amazing, encouraging teachers and have dealt with some lovely casting directors but I've come across real bullies aswell who abuse the power they have. I've had a teacher roll up a newspaper and start whacking me violently with it to get a performance out of me, I've had teachers humiliate me in front of other students. I've had a casting director scream at me in an audition room saying how horrific I am and if only I could see how horrific my audition is. I've had an old agent say to me it's 'fxxin ridiculous that people say to you, you have a career in this industry'. I've been on the receiving of so much of this type of behaviour. I used to think that in order to be a successful actor you had to be 'tested' in order to survive and to develop a thick skin. Pre covid I had an actor friend crying her eyes out at the treatment she and her classmates received at a casting director workshop. I've heard of some classes where people have come out suicidal from the humiliation they received. I've also witnessed another friend of mine having a panic attack after coming out of meisner class. I wish I could go back and tell my younger self that this behaviour is not ok and to step away from those abusive people and classes but it is so difficult when you're trying to pursue your acting dreams. What are other people's experiences with abusive acting teachers/casting directors/agents?

I just dropped out of my first play, and I actually...feel really good about it. by badguywindow  •  last post Jan 23rd

I got the role really quickly. I auditioned once, a last-minute audition, and was told I got the role one day later. I had never had any acting experience, and I got the lead role. But I read the play, and it felt like a pity hire. The character was trans, and I was the only trans actor to audition. So, after some consideration, I've decided to drop the play. Completely. I'm done. My first ever play, with a lead role, and I dropped it. All because I was anxious and I hated the fact that I really wasn't chosen for the role but, instead, because I was trans. I'm either a fucking idiot or valid haha. But I feel better and less anxious already.

After a horrible year I got to do my first audition! by mildhot-sauce  •  last post Jan 23rd

The last year and a half I was forced to live with a psychopath. A person whose only goal in life is to ruin my life. Little back story this man is my abusive "brother". He has made my life impossible to start. At age 18 I was SUPPOSE to be a radio DJ at our local college and he went out of his way to make sure I didn't THEN goes on and yells at me that if I don't become nothing by 23 he will kill me. He did go to prison for a while and that's when I got started on auditioning. And that's just one of many horrible moments. I should state I am very poor and pretty much forced to live at home with my mom. I'm also a care taker for her so I kinda can't leave, yet Fast forward to present day. I talked to my best friend and we made a voice over booth. We converted a closet into one. Its not the best but when your in it your ears get a odd feeling. Yes I have to go back home to that horrible stain of a human every few days to check up on my mom. But he's left me be since he's got back. But just to hear him laugh watching tv, or hear him talk about crazy government conspiracies is absolutely maddening. my mom told him what he did (he was a drinker, has no memory) and realized the damage he did. I will never forgive him and frankly his prison sentence should have been much long! I did some auditions on casting call club. It was a very emotional moment. I spent the last year mentoring a few other rookie voice actors. Some were able to actually get jobs. it really hurt. Of course I was happy for them but I missed the feeling of auditioning. I missed the people and looking for fun jobs. There were days where I wouldn't talk. I counted once. It was less then 20 words one day Now that I have that ability. I've been working out. I've been much happier. I'm constantly relearning my technique and technology. And yeah my first audition was very garbage but at least I CAN.

Voice actors needed for Upcoming Animated movie! by DF_Dante  •  last post Jan 22nd

Got scammed by acting agency: help by Aggressive_Age6433  •  last post Jan 22nd

Hello guys. I signed to an acting agency couple of weeks ago that sold me overpriced headshots ( $770 ) + other craps they make you believe you’re getting for free but in reality your paying for ( like a day acting class ). That being said. I paid an additional $175 to have 2 scenes recorded a monologue and a couple scene. Since I am paying I found very weird that I wasn’t able to pick my own scenes but that they decided this for the actors. My couple scene tho was going to highlight the other actress giving me only couple of lines to deliver: if I am paying for a product that it’s supposed to promote me and sell my talent I don’t see why I am paying to be a supporting actress? When I called and explained the situation Iv got shut down and basically got couple scene annulled if I didn’t want to do it their way. I decided I am not gonna show for the monologue as well. They make you pay everything upfront tho and sign a silly agreement that you understand you’re not gonna get refunded for pre-booked payments ( but they also tell you can’t get scheduled for a showreel session unless you pay upfront (?)... I know that I fucked myself signing but is there a way I can get my money back? Maybe because on the agreement it shows that the $175 would be for the editor to put your scenes on YouTube and stuff but if I don’t shoot the material than where the money going ? I tried to call and send emails but they are gone to ignore me. Please help

Female Voice Actress by Choby11  •  last post Jan 22nd

Hi there, I’m looking for a voice actress to work on my 40 second skit on my debut EP. This is a passion project and everything is home-made, so I don’t have a massive budget. I can offer very little, and 100% royalties from the skit. PM me for details if interested. Thank you.

Can you be an actor in Utah? by miso_tofu_wakame  •  last post Jan 21st

I got an opportunity to move there. But it’s not near the big cities like salt lake. Closest big town is St George. I tried looking up agencies there, didn’t see much? Could my agency find me stuff out of state like Las Vegas? Is that a thing? I’ve only ever acted (commercial) in Columbus Ohio. They found me stuff in Cleveland but never out of state. Am I dwindling my opportunities if I move there?

Headshot-Age Range-Character Type Feedback by AutoModerator  •  last post Jan 21st

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.

Any advice for younger new actors based in Toronto? by mykumouse  •  last post Jan 21st

Hey! I'm a pretty young aspiring actor (17 y/o) and I had a few smaller gigs when I was really young but then kind of fell out of acting. Any advice as to how I can get back into it? Maybe mainly advice on reels and agencies would be helpful, thanks in advance!
