FEEDBACK REQUEST: cover letter to a voice over agent by Psychological_Leg • last post Jul 22nd
To whom it may concern, I'm currently represented by <agent> for screen and stage projects. However, since she doesn't submit actors for voice over roles, I was wondering if you're currently looking for more voice over talent? If so, I've attached a copy of my voice reel, headshot and CV to this e-mail If you've come this far, I really appreciate the time you've taken to read this message Thank you Kind regards, <name>
Does anyone have any tips to get into voice acting? by vxna • last post Jul 22nd
I’m a new voice actor and I’m really eager to start. I didn’t want to buy a mic yet until I know all the details about what would be the best mic for a beginner. So I have a couple questions: 1) What mic is good for a beginner? 2) What sites would you recommend to start? 3) Any tips on general? 4) Any tips on demos and recording them? I’ve not been able to figure them out. Just some stuff about me. I will always have to work from home. I’ve been looking into how to set up a proper studio, but I’ll be moving soon and something temporary will have to do for now. Secondly, I’m bilingual, but I can only apply in English, since I’m not good enough in my native language to accept work. Also, I’m a teenager, so I can apply for voice acting roles for teenagers. Honestly, I’m all over the place here and would really appreciate some help. I’m really confused right now and any help would be appreciated.

Leaving Social Media as an Actor by June_Etoile • last post Jul 22nd
Recently I was career 'coached' by a famous podcast acting coach that made snarky remarks about me not being more 'astute' at instagram. For me, if you are a good actor, you are a good actor. I've achieved guest stars and more not with vanity posts but with putting in the work in the room. I'm never going to be the pinup star and I get that. My question is IG and others are making me sick to the soul. It's unhealthy and it's obsessive. I don't want to be a part of it really. Is there anyone here that left social media altogether and has been doing well? I figure hell if they want to look you up they will find your email address. I don't care about followers, most of them are bots anyway.
moving to Chicago? by gberry31 • last post Jul 22nd
some of you may have seen my post about trying to decide on moving to Atlanta or LA. from that i got a few suggestions to move to chicago and try to build my resumé some more, get an agent and/or get SAG-E before moving to LA. i was just wondering if anyone had any insight on moving to Chicago as an actor? obviously i won’t be moving until it is safe to do so and i’m aware that the market will be different now and any knowledge about it will be from pre-covid. thanks in advance!
Submitting self tapes early to an audition woes by irepMiami • last post Jul 21st
So I currently live in Orlando Fl and I’ve been told that you should always submit your self-tapes to actor’s access as soon as you possibly can. Casting directors often start watching self tapes as soon as they’re brought in and if they indeed find someone then you will be out of luck if waited closer to the deadline to submit. I’m having a very tough time trying to be fully prepared and memorized as well as trying to submit as early as possible to give myself a chance. Does anybody have any advice? Thanks

Looking for advice by avomeroglu • last post Jul 21st
Hi all, I’m an aspiring actor in the U.K. I have had a few stage roles and short film roles. This was mainly during my time at University. I have finished now and I would really like to see where I can get with it. I was wondering if anyone would be able to advise me where I might be able to find roles? I’ve looked at websites like starnow and FameStreet but I’m not sure in terms of committing to a membership payment. I would really appreciate any help. Thank you!
Self Taping Auditions by louisasnotes • last post Jul 21st
I had a problem with the prospect of doing this, so hopefully this post may help others looking forward to the prospect of doing more of this. Now that the industry in my city is coming back, remote auditioning has suddenly become the norm. I always felt a frisson of fear when this was mentioned prior to COVID, and now my fears have come true. I have had to learn three different platforms, upgrade my phone, work on technical situations and still free myself to be relaxed enough to actually perform without any feedback. In the last week, I have delivered three auditions via different methods, and two positives have come up. My partner really doesn't mind reading for me. Now, 'we' have an audition, not just me. I am no longer alone. Secondly, we have already come to a working relationship that means I can learn my sides, then talk to her about delivery of reader lines, my character choices, etc., and ready the camera for action. She ensures (believe me!) that I am DLP, and we dress-rehearse 5 times before actually punching the record button - something that you wouldn't normally have the opportunity to do. I have a 2nd eye toward costume choices and I use props because - unlike auditioning for a CD in her room - I have the props to hand. The result is a comfortable, challenging experience, way more human than an 'in person' audition and I'm always happy with the results (in this small sample size.). I'm an old fart, and I know of lots of actors like me secretly terrified of technology, change, and the prospect of acting without anyone there to say 'Good Job', and give me hope of booking the gig.
Hows LA Casting Looking? by CaliforniaStoked • last post Jul 21st
Hey everyone! Los Angeles based actor here! I cancelled my LACasting membership when this pandemic first started, because of the lack of breakdowns. I still have my Actors Access account, since I already paid for a full year, and I submit to maybe 10 breakdowns a week that fit my type (I'd submit to about 25/30 pre pandemic for reference). My question is, how is LACasting looking these days as far as number of breakdowns? Is it worth it to sign back up for $18 month, or is it still pretty dry? I'm not able to login myself to see, since my account is deactivated. Obviously everyones type/breakdowns are different, but I'm just looking more for a comparison of now VS pre pandemic, as far as your personal breakdown submissions go. I can afford the $18 a month, but I wouldn't feel like it would be worth it if I'd only be able to submit to 5ish castings a week, especially since I've always had more luck with Actors Access. Thanks! Also, if anyone is my type (Female, 16-24 range, white, SAG-E, LA market) and still using LACasting during this crazy time, id love for you to chime in!

Are student films worth it? by _ellies • last post Jul 21st
Im (17 y/o) an aspiring actor and dont yet have any acting experience (or an agent). Ive seen a lot of casting calls for student films recently on backstage.com they are obviously not paid and non-union work. All the castings are for london, uk and i live around 300 miles away (6hour drive). Is it worth auditioning for these as i would have to pay for travel/petrol and accommodation which would leave me £1,000+ out of pocket?
