I'm a fan translator, and the characters I usually translate are theater kids. This time, I'm really stuck on how to localize a line. Note that these are all just rough drafts, and translated more literally. >**Tomoya:** Ahaha. More often than not, he overshadows the lead despite being a supporting actor. That guy like…

I'm a student filmmaker looking to recruit other students at my high school who act in theatre for a talent agency. I'm looking to make a short film which would take multiple hours to shoot - should I try reaching out to the students and ask whether they'd be interested in acting in the film for no pay but a share in t…

I worked really hard to even get to a point where I get auditions, and the slow drip, the inconsistency / infrequency, the stupid ass co-stars the bad writing, it all just feels like a scam. How many actors are spending their time not working a full time job (because this truly doesn’t allow you too) putting their all…

Based on various videos I've watched about voice acting, I was under the impression that mouth noises were something to be solve by the voice actor during recording, not by audio engineers. However, I often listen to live podcasts, and I never hear mouth noises. I can't imagine the podcasters simply make no mouth noise…

Who are your favorite actors to point to or whom people bring up when they talk about actors who "made it big with no experience"? For example, people highlight that Emma Stone dropped out of high school to move to LA "without any acting classes because she was *that good*". This isn't to disparage Emma Stone, who is a…

Anyone else have random Haters from their acting videos? I mostly post gaming content now, along with other things for promotion, but for whatever reason I've attracted haters again off an old audition tape.

Can a non-union voice actor also do union work? Because I know that union actors aren't allowed to do non-union work or something like that but is it different the other way around? I would assume that non-union voice actors would get paid less.

I know they have relationships.

I guess this question is more for the one's who have interned/worked at a CD office.
