Seeking male voice actor for one scene of a student project by LegitimateDesign3  •  last post Jun 22nd

Hello! I am hoping I have found the right subreddit for this. I am looking for a male actor (who sounds above the age of 30) that would be willing to record one (very) short scene for my film project. This is unpaid because I have no money, but I'm proficient in Adobe Creative Suite so if you needed something designed or edited (presentation, resume, reel) I could help you with that in exchange for this scene. The character (Bento) is a sleazy, middle aged man who gives his best advice on women to his Xbox friend Kurtis, a teenager who needs help getting his ex back. Think: borderline incel who lives with his mom, but wholeheartedly believes he's a top notch guy. You don't have to have a nice microphone or anything like that because it's going to sound like a voice coming from a gaming headset. [The script can be found here.](https://imgur.com/a/Bnfla1C) If anyone would be willing to help me out, I would really appreciate it!

Equity Card for Internationals by Lour-55  •  last post Jun 22nd

So apparently you can only get an equity card if you're American, international actors can't get their equity card unless they have a green card. But there are Broadway performers who are internationals and don't have a green card, does anyone have an idea on how they were able to get their equity card without being American

Hey all, a pro looking for a little advice. by Phoenix2700  •  last post Jun 22nd

What's going on everyone! I'm a professional voice actor out of NYC and as you all know the pandemic has hit the area here fairly hard. Most of the auditions I'd been getting from prior to the pandemic have dried up fairly substantially from my agency, although over the last two weeks or so I've seen a decent uptick in emails. Since I've just been sitting around now essentially unemployed; I was wondering if any other professionals on here have any good ideas for other ways I can try to get some income in doing voice over work on my own time without waiting for agency emails. Should I be sending demos out to production studios and the like as well? I've had some people offer me this advice but I've always personally felt it's a little tacky considering I'm already represented by someone with connections to that larger sect of the industry. Additionally, does anyone happen to know any very reputable acting coaches that could be offering online training sessions via zoom or other platforms? I've been itching to get myself back into the groove of some good instruction lately as well. Thanks much everyone!!!

New website by mmrrreddit86  •  last post Jun 22nd

Hey guys, in the beginning stages of my VO career. Carefully deciding where I need to invest and where not to. Got some solid acting training, and will still invest in valuable classes with notable VO coaches. Looking to build more animation / character experience, as I’m primarily commercial ATM. I can sing as well, and am thinking I should make a singing reel as well? Is that necessary? Maybe it can’t hurt I just recently got my first commercial demo produced and have built a website to put it on and a little more info about me. I will attach my website here for feedback (be gentle, but honesty is welcome) : https://www.marlierodriguez.com I guess now it’s just a matter of consistently DOING. I dont have an agent and am not auditioning a ton of times a day because I’m just sourcing auditions online from backstage, actors access, and a couple outside people I know. I’m considering paying for Voices.com but DAMN it’s $500 a year which hurts my heart and I’m just not sure it’s worth it yet. What do y’all think

What should I do by Broke-Witcher  •  last post Jun 21st

Hey guys I know this might sound stupid.But could some describe to me the path one has to take to become an actor. Do I have to go to school and go through theater training? Should I just take classes instead? And what after I get ejected? Thank you for your answer.

How do you memorize lines? by Kahli_Elliott  •  last post Jun 21st

I'm an aspiring actor... looking to take some acting classes soon once it's safe to do so where I'm from. I've always wondered how do actors memorize their lines? I'd like to say I have a good memory. But, I've always been scared thinking what if one day I get a recurring or even a main role on a tv show & have to memorize your lines every episode/scene. Obviously, the bigger the character, the more lines to remember. How do actors do it? Also, how does it work for like tv shows, do you memorize the entire episodes script? Or just your lines? Or just the lines for the specific scene you're gonna film that day? I guess some of these might get answered in the class, but I thought to ask here first.

Austin, TX Community? by theguysmith  •  last post Jun 21st

I have recently moved back to my hometown in Texas after spending the last 6 years acting and filmmaking in LA. In August I'm moving to Austin and was curious if there were any Austin, TX actors on this sub who could recommend any theaters/companies, classes, or improv groups for me to sink my teeth into when I get there. I am an aspiring playwright as well, if anyone knows of companies who need originals. Thanks! :)

Looking to make a positive voice acting community by MYNERDTIME  •  last post Jun 20th

Hi im an amateur voice actor whos been lurking on this sub for quite a while and i just gotta say i love the positive attitude that a lot of people have on here as well as the kindness thats shown to up and coming amateurs and thought id post this. Im actually making a discord server that i openly encourage people of this subreddit to join if they would like to. The purpose of the server will be to get to know other voice actors and learn tips and tricks from eachother as well as discussing equipment or just your own personal vocal performances. If your interested in joining this little community im putting together just feel free to dm me and i will invite you to the server. The goal of this is to create a nice community where people can get together and practice their craft as well as recieve constructive criticism about their performances in a safe and postive environment

Can someone please help me to understand scansion? by markalocases  •  last post Jun 20th

I'm a young actor with a newly-found interest in Shakespeare. I'm particularly interested in Shakespearean meter. However, beyond the basic idea of iambic pentameter, I can't seem to understand scansion. Like how do I know if a foot is to be read as an iamb or a trochee? (Like how do I recognise the exceptions to the iambic pentameter rule?) Because I find a lot of the times my natural stresses may not fall on the stresses Shakespeare has intended. So how do I determine if a line is supposed to be read as iambic pentameter or as an expectation? Also, what about lines that fall short of the pentameter or exceed it?

Favorite character demos? by juniorwitch  •  last post Jun 20th

Hey friends, I'm updating my voice over demos this summer and I wanted to find some really good animation and character demos to take notes from. Are there any from well-established actors that inspired you? Which demos are your favorites? Thanks!

Getting Started in Vancouver/Toronto by bobabobabobabobaboba  •  last post Jun 20th

hi!!!! newbie here seeking advice. I’m a Chinese-Canadian turning 18 in two months, and I decided to take some risks and try to submit to some acting agencies since high school is now officially over. i still haven’t fully decided if I am going to attend UBC or U of Toronto (for humanities/film studies), and am also considering berklee college of music for voice (and take acting classes outside of college, but I don’t know a lot about the art scene in Boston. is it better than Vancouver/Toronto? Vancouver/Toronto would be cheaper since I am Canadian.) My family is in Vancouver, so if I do move to Toronto or Boston for school, it would not be a problem to come back for castings, etc. Toronto is also better than Vancouver fashion-wise, as I might also pursue modeling since I meet the measurements. I was wondering which city you would suggest for an actor starting out? I’d like to go to auditions while still staying in school, so it’s not too much of a gamble (but def open to taking time off if an acting opportunity comes up! though i understand that is very difficult.) i was wondering if you have any tips for submissions? i’m trying to do research, but what would you usually address/not address in a cover letter? and would a demo reel be okay if it is just me doing a monologue in front of a bare bedroom wall and a camera? i do have a couple from last year but they’re not great, and my looks have changed a bit from last year. it’s difficult to do more professional self tapes now with corona :( I don’t have a lot of experiences so my resume is quite sad, but i did attend NYU Tisch Drama’s Summer Program at Stonestreet Studios last summer, direct, write, edit, and act in a short film produced at NYU, interned at a casting agency here in Vancouver, am very involved in my school’s theatre company, and have taken in-school acting classes throughout high school, and am a classical trained singer. should i try to expand my skill set more before seeking a manager, or should i just go for it? sorry this is long, but anything would be appreciated! thank you!!!
