Recently got an email from a Chinese company saying they are looking for voice actors. However I am not sure if it’s a scam or not. The email they used matches the website but the pay seems really high?? Maybe because it’s international. However, everything else seems legitimate. How should I know if it’s a scam or not…

The title basically says it all. I am an actor (20F) in Los Angeles and I want to audition for “Romeo and Juliet” at Antaeus Theatre. To be honest I am not as well versed in the theatre scene in LA as I am with the film world so I don’t even know how to start with this. I signed up for open call info from Antaeus, but…

Perhaps some of you can answer this question for me. I have been doing background work for a few years now. Through this work, I have be able to join SAG. As soon as I became eligible I immediately joined. However looking back on it, I feel that was a mistake since I have been struggling to find work both in background…

Hey Folks, First time posting here. I'm someone that's always wanted to be a career actor but got sucked into the mundane expectations of 9-5 life because it was "safe" and "right". Well I'm 31 now and I did everything right, and it led absolutely nowhere except being a less passionate and creative version of myself th…

Hugely disappointing, yet another company falling to greed. Many of us paid $650 for a lifetime license. Now we will have to pay ***$145 a year*** on top of that just to stay current. The sick part is, they built version 4 specifically so it cannot connect backward to version 3. Every studio that upgrades is now a stud…

To the African American actors, do you find that you see more roles for commercials geared towards us in some cities more than others? For example, I wondered if given the demographic, Atlanta would have more opportunities to submit. Are there any other cities where you see more roles for us than others?

Hi! Sorry, I am not really good at Reddit. I haven’t been able to access the Actors Access app or website for at least five hours now and was wondering if it’s juts me or if other people are also having that same issue? It just doesn’t seem to load.

So I’ve been with my current manager for roughly six years, and overall they’ve been great. We have a solid relationship, and over the years I’ve booked mostly co-star/day-player roles while working with them and a couple of commercials. My agents have generally been the ones getting me into the room for the bigger opp…

Hello fellow voice actors, I'm a trained actor with solid experience, but until now I've always worked live, on stage and in front of an audience.

Before you ever step into an audition room, casting directors have already met you online. Your headshots, demo reel, resume, and casting profiles work together as a digital storefront. In a database of thousands of actors, that storefront decides whether your name gets clicked. The foundation is your marketing materia…
