I was on the Clubhouse app last night \[Great for networking with actors/directors, but extremely addictive app in general\] inside of an Actors meet up room. The moderators were some 10-20 year seasoned actors opening the floor for questions or advice from other actors. I entered the room as a moderator was telling a…

I'm thinking about hiring a voice actor for a part but not sure how to go about it. Does the number of lines matter? Like if there were only 8 lines.

I'm looking into good majors (preferably 2 years or less) for someone who is pursuing acting. Wondering if RTs scheduling and income are a good fit for someone who is an actor.

Scientist, researchers, chefs, artist, football player, chess player, mathematicians and so on, but being an actor, singer of success bring a lot of fame, maybe too much. because every…

Lately, I have been thinking a lot about filmmakers (screenwriters and director) and actors. If we compare these two, if someone has a great passion for both, which would you say is harder to be successful in and which one is having a harder time breaking into the film industry?

I was recently watching this Showtime series that Ben Stiller directed called Escape at Dannemora. The limited series stars Benicio Del Toro, Paul Dano and Patricia Arquette (who won awards for her work) and those three are uniformly great, but there was one actor who seemed familiar but I just couldn't place him. When…

This may seem like a silly question, but as someone who’s sort of just starting out and trying to get their feet wet, sometimes I feel like I haven’t “earned” the title. So what would one need to accomplish to consider themselves a voice actor officially?

Hi all! I'm brand new to reddit in general so please go easy on me haha. I'm represented by a small agency based outside of London, but their focus isn't really on Musical Theatre, which is what I want to go into.

Do u think top agencies CDs and producers like actors with specific training over others? Like uk or us training vs a 1-4 yr conservatory vs theatre vs BFA? Is there a point in training when you’re more likely to be noticed? I feel some known actors blow up in the middle of training and still aren’t that great

Hey everyone. So I’ve always wanted to act from a young age. I used to pretend I was an actor when I was little, (acting out fake skits, plays, etc.) Around the end of last year, I planned to start acting classes somewhere, and then try to get into a play, etc eventually. However, ever since COVID hit, I haven’t done a…

My ultimate goal in my life would be to get signed to one of the top acting agencies. Companies like UTA, CAA, or WME. Now on the websites I’ve send they don’t accept submissions.
