Acting tips for newer actors by Mrlollimouse  •  last post Nov 1st

I've been acting since I was a kid, but have been devoutly committed to the craft for the last 5 years. I went to UCI for drama, am seriously considering grad school for it, and have seen a wide array of skill sets in my peers. I've been involved in numerous plays, numerous short films, and have even made the LA times. Lately, with covid a lot has interfered with my ability to get active, and stay active in the community here, but I'd like to change that. I know this community is a great place for newer actors to come and learn and participate, and I know that I can help, and would like to in any way that I can. Starting this week, I'm going to start publishing acting tips (ideally continued every week) for an easy consolidation for newer actors and advanced alike. The first one can be found [here](https://avimicahbrown.medium.com/take-5-minutes-and-fix-this-acting-mistake-372c3c20c782). I also want to extend an offer to anyone reading this, that my DMs are open. If you have any questions about anything acting (or even screenwriting) related at all, and don't know where to turn, I'll do my best to answer with as much detail as possible (assuming I do in fact know the answer). More than willing to provide feedback, but those often take me a while because of outside work, and wanting to be as thorough in my responses as possible. I know what it's like. Best of luck out there. Edit: Apologies for the misleading title. I meant to change it before publishing, and am realizing now that I can't edit it afterwards. Please don't kill me!

Any Good Gender-Bending VA's/tips? by Awkwardukulele  •  last post Oct 31st

Hey y'all, I was looking for advice on how to switch your voice from masculine to feminine and vice-versa. I'm currently working on a project (hobby, not profit) and I'm trying to do as absolutely much as I can on my own. That includes somewhat-believable voicing of all the characters. I'm not looking to be stupendous, but I would like to be able to make it at least hard to tell what gender is voicing the characters. ​ One person I saw who's PHENOMENAL, as an example, is Yagami Yato. She's a female voice actor who generally voices male characters. (Warning: some of her YouTube stuff is 18+, so head's up) I'm looking for the reverse of that: I'm AMAB and looking to be able to do female voices better. ​ If anyone knows any tips/sites/links that may help, or knows of any VA's who are known for voicing out of their gender, please let me know! :)

Do you ever feel like you don't have an "actors" face? by brokenandtired1  •  last post Oct 31st

I was watching movies last night, like I always do and I was just admiring all the actors and I thought they look like they're supposed to be on the screen. Everytime I do my self tapes, I feel like I don't look right like I can't see myself with a main role (more as a supporting character) and I don't know why. I absolutely love acting and I'll do anything to work with the big dogs one day but I don't think I'm photogenic. I was wondering if anyone else felt like that, or is it my insecurities? Thanks for listening

Looking for a female voice actor, for a small game project. by illaboi  •  last post Oct 31st

Paid position, **but small budget**. For the time being she has only 4-5 lines but whoever does them will co-operate with me in the long run. NSFW is a necessity to be comfortable with. Also have some more characters who need voicing. You can send samples too.. It's for a game, preferably older women voicing. *(do I need to mention 18+)* Message here or PM.

Casting Networks extra/background actor submission process by NYC_1619  •  last post Oct 31st

Hi, I'm new to background/extra work. I just joined Casting Networks this week and Central Casting shortly before the pandemic hit. I have not gone on anything yet. I just submitted for an extra role through Casting Networks in my rush of enthusiasm before I completed my resume. Does it look bad to submit, then remove and resubmit within a few days? What exactly happens when you submit? Does it go into the casting directors email, can you unsend? Just afraid I blew it and am trying to fix it by resubmitting but I don't want to make it worse. I'm really excited about starting extra/background work! Thanks.

Warning to all actors - The Con "Queen" is Back by rosencranzand  •  last post Oct 31st

[https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2020/10/hear-the-notorious-hollywood-con-queen-caught-in-the-phone-scam-act](https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2020/10/hear-the-notorious-hollywood-con-queen-caught-in-the-phone-scam-act) for context. A friend was just conned, though luckily not of any money. His experience was quite traumatic however. All actors far and wide need to be aware of this, as well as all gig-workers (make-up, stunt-peoplet etc) who work in film/tv.

To self-teaching actors by bogo-being  •  last post Oct 30th

How are you guys keeping yourselves motivated during these times? I'm in a place right now where I can't really jump into classes or make a nice self-recording studio, so its been difficult to keep myself going at times or its all felt pointless. Anyone have any tips or tricks on how to stay ahead of the game in these times?

Question about Casting by ricktheactor  •  last post Oct 30th

Hey guys, Finally managed to chat cordially with my agent about why im not getting any auditions. She showed me my talent report and all the casting are denying her pitches of me. I recently dropped my union status to improve this, but still, im being denied basic auditions. My agent told me that this is due to not having any relationships with the local casting agencies (Toronto). Is this totally out of my control? I know obviously that it's totally unacceptable to email CD's, but how else do aspiring actors establish those relationships in a professional manner? Thanks for any advice!
