Getting started by Chalicus • last post Apr 20th
Hi there! I used to want to be a voice actor when I was a kid but never really followed up on it. I still practice voices for DnD and other things but I’d like to start recording seriously. I have a blue yeti mix and access to a recording studio. Is there anything else I should look into?

American accents? by toastiemangoes • last post Apr 19th
hi I'm a young aspiring actor hoping to make it big one day but I realise that my accent is sort of thick. it's not thick for where I'm from but it seems important for most TV and movies to have an American accent. so I'm wondering on some tips to help with my accent. I'm from the north of Ireland I'd that matters.

Can you be both an actor and casting director? I have an opportunity to be a casting assistant. by dramaticunt • last post Apr 19th
Hey everyone. Is it possible to work as a casting director but also be able to work as an actor? I am talking about professional actor and professional casting. There is an opportunity for me to work as a casting assistant and I do enjoy casting very much. I am not sure if there is anything that prevents you from doing so? I have seen actors who are casting assistants, but never have I seen casting directors yet.

What do actors mean when they say “I did a lot of homework.”? What’s the homework? by blueregional • last post Apr 19th
I’m a 20 year-old college student who wants to become a Hollywood actress. by mayukha1999 • last post Apr 19th
No point to give an unnecessary introduction, so I’ll get to the point. I’m 20 years old, an Indian living in India. I want to become an actress, I love acting, I always loved it. I have no idea how to become one, because I’m not interesting in acting in Bollywood films. I don’t know how to get hold of an agent, and it’s probably too late to start trying anyways. But still, I want to try asking y’all once. Any suggestions? Any way for me to find an agent? And how in the world do I find an agent or an agency that’s reputed and known? Someone give me a few insights
Is there a term for the phenomena where a male voice has its “higher” noise and also the deeper “from the chest” sound? by Supes_man • last post Apr 19th
I’ve really been noticing this happen when comparing my own voice to others on different types of headphones and phone speakers. When listening on AKG studio headphones (with as flat of a sound curve as possible) my voice recordings seem quite deep with a lot of bass. Deeper than many other male voice actors I will compare with, there’s a lot of low end rumble that I know comes from the chest. But when listening on tiny laptop or phone speakers, my voice sounds sharp and higher than those same other actors I’m listening to. Is there a term for this? Where there’s a mainline “spoken” range and then an underlying bass?

Advice for child actors by Treezie03 • last post Apr 18th
My kid is very interested in extra work. Are websites such as FameStreet useful at all? How safe are kids having their photos on sites such as these? Is there a place where jobs are posted without having to pay for membership? Any advice would be appreciated. I’m just trying to be a good parent in an industry that appears to be crawling with scams
Can you be an actress/actor if you deny to do any love scenes? by PassinbyHI • last post Apr 18th
Love scenes include light kissing to sexual scenes I thought about pursing a career in acting, but this always held me back especially because my family is religious and I have morals that I would like to keep.
Voice Acting Coaching for Cartoons? by chrisredfieldu • last post Apr 18th
I want to find a voice acting coach or teacher, preferably - female, lower-ish voice (Laura Bailey), mainly does cartoons - offers coaching I can see myself voicing cartoon little boys the most, like idk Timmy Turner or anime boys like Ash or Naruto. With training, I could see myself voicing other zainy characters or doing death screams. I could see myself spending all day screaming and fainting. I mean that’s already been my life for a while and that was unpaid. Any names come to mind? I reached out to some famous voice actors who offer coaching on their websites months ago & both didnt respond, so I figured they were not serious about coaching.
Voice dubbing Question by Sand_Hanitizer_ • last post Apr 18th
Hi, I'm not an aspiring voice actor or anything. I'm not even a part of this sub. I'm just an individual who is curious about something related to voice acting. If a VA knows multiple languages and is dedicated enough to the role that they play, can they voice their characters again in a different language for a voice dub meant for another country?

Possible AMA? by IndyO1975 • last post Apr 18th
Hi there. I am an IFP Gotham Award-winning independent film producer. I’m originally from the US and am now based in Europe. I’ve been in the business for 27 years and producing for 13 of those years - everything from films to music videos and beyond. I even produced a live event for First Lady Michelle Obama. I was thinking, since we’re all in quarantine, of doing an AMA and thought it might be interesting to offer the perspective of a producer for actors. Would any of you fine young thespians be interested in something like that? [View Poll](https://www.reddit.com/poll/g3lv73)
Anyone Have Advice on Classes? - Dallas and Austin TX by CheeseLousie14 • last post Apr 18th
Hello, and I hope you who are reading this are well and healthy! I am a complete newbie here. Complete newbie! I'm graduating in May from my university and relocating to Texas for a job. There are so many more resources in the state of Texas for actors than my state has to offer, and I think I finally want to start and take a class and maybe even submit to background work? But I have a few questions for fellow Texas actors and actresses - or even from all over! Does anyone have any recommendations as far as classes to take in Dallas? I understand things are pretty limited right now due to the virus but are any classes in Dallas offering remote classes online? I was looking into the Austin area, is it crazy to drive to Austin for classes? Again, I wasn't sure if that makes sense, but I would be willing to make the drive for great classes! (From what I understand from Google Maps it's around 2-2 and 1/2 hour drive not including traffic time). Has anyone taken the MasterClass with Natalie Portman online? I was just looking for all resources right now due to this whole pandemic limiting everything. My last question is this, I've been looking into Backstage at their remote casting calls, as a newbie, amI crazy to submit for them? Or would it be beneficial to submit for them and gain that experience? Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this and if you choose to respond! I appreciate all of the advice and help this page gives! Thank you!
