Hi everyone! I'm REALLY hoping someone might be able to shed some light on an issues I've just started having with my Rode NT1-A and Focusrite 2i2 set up. It's picking up some static and I cannot figure out where from! Tried unplugging and restarting things. Nothing in the booth has changed. I'm a voice actor so would…

Backstory: I was a part of an agency when I was a lot younger, but I left due to reasons. I’m doing theater at school, and I’ve done musicals pretty much every year, but I want to transition back into on camera acting. Should I wait until I become apart of another agency to make a social media profile for acting? Edit:…

Hi fellow actors! Need some motivation here. Pre Covid I started to finally book work, felt excited about where things were going, and after the pandemic happened everything feels different. I have no motivation and feel like things will never go back to how they were which makes me feel so discouraged. I used to inspi…

Hello, I’m looking for a pilot script writer that can properly format a pilot I’ve written for myself. I have 3 day jobs and don’t have the time to learn formatting techniques and I’m willing to pay you. Any services / references you like to I’d love to hear about! Thanks!

I've been hearing through the grapevines that a lot of theater actors have been doing Zoom theater (and also that it's obviously not ideal). I'm primarily a film actor, so I don't have many theater connections. I want to branch out into theater, but I don't see any auditions for theater productions on casting sites any…

Hello!. I have a quick question, so I just got a work permit fee from Actra on a recent set I’ve been on and I was wondering if I’m supposed to pay it or not since I’m a non-union actor. Or is that a permit for joining the Actra apprentice program since that’s what I got it with?

Hi there! I am a doctoral student working and I'm trying to get in contact with voice actors who also work a different full-time job (i.e. 30+ hours a week).

When I was sorting my thoughts for this week's update, I realized that I should have apologized earlies for the lack of acting notes I had included in my previous weekly updates.

My agent (I’m with a modeling agency) emailed me asking if I was free this week for a speaking role for an industrial. I told her I would check it out and see if I’m interested. After checking out the script, I wasn’t too interested as it seemed like it for one of those new hire office videos for employees. I told her…

I have a limited series pilot and some actors in mind that I would be adding to my pitch deck. Because I am still in the pitching phase, I am fine getting just soft yeses. But how do I got about soliciting the actors I am interested in? None are A listers or even B. One is an upcoming black actress and the other is a g…

I’ve noticed that actors (often B or C list actors) lean away from using profanity on social media, and when videos get released about them indulging in substances such as cannabis, it’s often leaked and followed by a profuse apology explaining that it was a dumb, one time thing (When that probably isn’t the case). Do…

(Not sure if this is the right flair, sorry if not!) I wanna try my hand at voice acting, I think VAs play a big part in creating the magic that gives characters personality and that in turn they play a big part in bringing the characters they voice to life! I really admire the work of Voice Actors for that reason so w…

Hello! I’m an actress in the U.K. and have a couple of meetings next week with some American managers. Do you have any advice for what I should prepare? What’s good to wear, makeup, and what kind of questions may they ask? They are reputable with some pretty well known clients. Thanks so much!

I’m very interested in acting. I’ve taken classes and I’m in my high school drama department. I don’t think my parents would ever let me do anything on screen, but this morning I saw a casting call for a tv show. It’s with a pretty well known competition and I fit the description perfectly. I know I probably won’t get…

Afterall most of the Oscar winners started in theater or do just as much live theater as they do in movies. Not to mention even in the debut roles in movies, many experienced theater actors (esp if they come from Broadway or England's theatre scene) are already praised in their first ever movie role such as Timothy Dal…

So I'm 15. Sophomore in high school taking choir (concert and jazz) and drama. And I have a unbreakable appeal to the art of cinema.

It seems to me that many subpar performances get rave reviews by the general public simply because they like the character or liked the movie/show; and on the flip side, many great performances are overlooked simply because people didn't like the character, the person, or the movie/show. Like the term "amazing acting"…

I was born, raised, and will probably die, in Australia, and voice acting has been something I'd love to pursue.

Some thoughts for discussion on theatre's current dilemma. Trying to recreate theatre using a camera based medium isn't one of Zoom's obvious applications.
