I’m a new voice actor and I’m really eager to start. I didn’t want to buy a mic yet until I know all the details about what would be the best mic for a beginner. So I have a couple questions: 1) What mic is good for a beginner? 2) What sites would you recommend to start? 3) Any tips on general? 4) Any tips on demos and…

So I currently live in Orlando Fl and I’ve been told that you should always submit your self-tapes to actor’s access as soon as you possibly can. Casting directors often start watching self tapes as soon as they’re brought in and if they indeed find someone then you will be out of luck if waited closer to the deadline…

I had a problem with the prospect of doing this, so hopefully this post may help others looking forward to the prospect of doing more of this. Now that the industry in my city is coming back, remote auditioning has suddenly become the norm. I always felt a frisson of fear when this was mentioned prior to COVID, and now…

Hey everyone! Los Angeles based actor here! I cancelled my LACasting membership when this pandemic first started, because of the lack of breakdowns.

So pre-covid I was planning on moving to Atlanta for a few years to build up my resume and get an agent, and then moving out to LA.

Not a big deal, but a question for curiosity sake. Are there any actors who are "recognizable names" or "household names" or things like that - but the actors are nonunion? I've seen a few casting calls for that and generally assume they mean more like "regionally well known in the indie circles" like how a local TV ne…
