I’m wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to use social media effectively for business. I’ve had some minor success with generating leads just by commenting on production company posts, but nothing compared to what email marketing has done. Looking at the pages of other voice actors with more followers than I,…

Hi! I'm only sixteen, and aspiring to join the film and acting industry here in the next couple of years and milestones of my life... Which leaves me with a world of questions, and the internet at my fingertips. And I've learned to use that to my advantage. Watching loads of shows I like, and then searching the web for…

For those of you who've done background acting in LA, how would you say union background acting differs from non-union. Obviously the pay is different (seems to be substantially different) but what else are the other differences? Are the background jobs different (ie, I'd think you might get more funeral scenes or role…

Hey fellow voice actors, IDEA: Hey Fellow voice actors, so I just started a YouTube channel about self-improvement, art, and filmmaking.

Is this mainly based on headshot matching character idea or do they take skill level into account or other materials such as a demo reel, previous credits, etc., into account? In other words, is it likely for a newer signed actress to get brought in for Series Regular roles without demo reel or even previous credits?

Hey [r/acting](https://www.reddit.com/r/acting/), The concept of 'competitive art' is inherently a bit lame - but since self tapes have become so important recently, I thought it could be fun to throw down. No entry fee or anything. I'm up for judging - if someone else wants to judge with me, I think two could work too…

Been auditioning for the past year during covid. Started off with great auditions, consistently 2 or 3 a week. I’ve booked 2 commercials but have only even gotten one callback for a TV show.

So I've been reading acting techniques and some say acting is giving your all in regards to emotion and feelings and so you have to use yourself and your instincts and give it your all.Somewhere else i read that you cannot use your personal feelings that it might go out of control. I personally feel like using my emoti…

I moved to LA a year ago to pursue acting. COVID of course put a pause on it, but its coming back around. I keep hearing grumbles saying that I should have moved to Austin or chicago instead because LA isnt THE place to try to become an actor anymore. Now im getting paranoid like I made the wrong choice.

This actor looks vaguely like Scott from the band Pentatonix. He has very short grayish blond hair and big bulging blue eyes. I think he is an action actor. Sorry if this is vague, I know exactly what he looks like but nothing he is in or what his name is. Thank you!

I posted a few days ago about how I had my first commercial audition in over a year and absolutely blew it. I’ve never been angrier about a performance. A day passed with no word and me still feeling like crap, and then I received an email. Now the email wasn’t a confirmation of booking. It was my agent letting me know…

After dedicating ten years of my life to acting and trying to get better, I understood that my success was not based on my skills. Too often, it is based on having the right look, having a lot of followers, being a real police officer/nurse/exotic dancer (even though they are not actors), living together (due to covid)…

Just as the title says, in the last 1327 days since I've signed with my agent, she's gotten me 17 auditions. That works out to 1 audition every 78 days. Of those 17 auditions I've gotten 6. I feel I'm a competent voice actor. I'm baffled as to how I've had so few auditions. However I've never had a voice over agent bef…

How do you get over a fear of a potential real bullet instead of a blank bullet?

I’m not looking to move to America just yet but I’m wondering how Canadian actors take that next step. I was talking to another actor who moved from Canada to LA with not much credits.

I'm a beginner actress with a Russian accent (I have a couple of years of classes but no actual work in my resume). And because of the accent, I think I will be rejected at every audition.
