A friend of mine has developed an hobby for voice acting, he in fact just did his first voice acting of a comic, but of course due to not having a female va to work with him he has to put a bot on female characters, I wanted to look for female vas that are still beginners like him but I'm not having much luck so far, a…

I started studying at a legit LA studio. The teacher is good, but some red flags: there is a lot of discussion about stuff that doesn’t have to do with the scene work in class. The teacher is a working actor who auditions a lot & talks a lot about their auditions and plans/networking on social media w/people casting th…

Hey folks of acting, I graduated and got my Associates degree and now I’m looking for a place to receive my bachelors degree. I have a list of schools but I recently met a professor at the New York Film Academy in LA and was told that it’s a good school. Other actors, what are your thoughts on this school? Pros, cons?…

I recently applied to a talent agency and I peaked the interest of two separate agents. As a young Asian actor I had a refreshing chat with one of them, who also happened to be Asian, who really seemed to understand my goals and expectations going into a potential working relationship together. This agent is fairly new…

How do you guys deal with not connecting to a character? There are just some characters i feel effortless portraying and some I need serious work to "get into". Is that what everybody deals with no matter how gifted of an actor they are? Is there anyone who can do it all? What is versatility?

Howdy! I recently got my lip pierced (snakebites) and I have been wanting to get into the acting business, will my new piercings infringe on my chances? I don’t see many actors/actresses with visible face piercings aside from nose

It's for a story I'm writing and I wonder if a similar scenario exists in the acting world: The director asks the story's main character to swap their role of playing the hero to the villain of a play. The director knows that the main character remembers the entire script of the play, so he knows that they can pull it…

A local community theatre had an actor get sick with Covid during their tech week for a play. They called me to ask to step in and I rehearsed with them for a few days and then performed one night (until the original actor was able to come back). How do I credit this on my resume? Should it be listed as an understudy?…

Hello, to all. I have always admired individuals under a profession that allows bending their tones and practice voice expressions. I always notice an actor’s dialogue delivery first or a news presenter's speech skills. The exercise of admiration has now led to a conscious effort of observing at least a single detail a…

There are some big ones that are not TAMAC, and you have some smaller agencies that are part of TAMAC. Like let’s say a smaller agency is part of TAMAC, but the star meter for their clients start at the 25000+. Then you have a big, reputable agency that’s not TAMAC, but clients start at 1000+. I know starmeters are not…

While this AI can’t mimic human emotion it’s unreal how accurately it can replicate speech itself. I absolutely despise this because I’m scared of many jobs becoming obsolete due to AI. It’s so annoying. Will voice actors be completely unneeded in the future because of developing AI?

Obviously it's a good way to show off your own talent, but it's almost a cliché at this point. Wouldn't it better show off your acting skills to have someone to play off of? Aren't most people more likely to see a multi-person show than a one-man or one-woman show? It may be easier to write for just yourself, but it al…

Hey, I have some self tapes i did that i need to submit through actors access. I’ve never submitted through them before. Bare with me! In the instructions it says to separate the clips.

So I'm new to Actors Access - I have good student/semi-professional footage for a reel/clips (I've already uploaded a few), and I have headshots that will do for now (next on my list) Question though - when submitting for theatrical auditions, I know they generally prefer monologues from plays. Is this the norm on Acto…

I’m new to voice acting and I had the thought that I had no body interested in the same career as I am, and maybe I can possibly find someone to talk to about everything there is voice acting, and maybe make some lifelong friends along the way so I think it would be cool if I made or possibly joined a group chat with o…

I read a book about the Stanislavskij method in my youth, but can't remember the title and wonder if anyone perhaps know what book I'm thinking about. It's written like a fake diary and is about a couple of actors rehearsing 'Dead souls' by Gogol. Does it ring a bell for anyone?

Does anyone know anything about breaking into Bollywood as a white female actor from the US? I’ve seen white actors in other groups say they’ve had some success in Bollywood and it got me thinking.

Should I go through every single agent in an agency? Is there a quicker way to do it? Also i can’t seem to find anything about specific ages or breeds needed? Should I look at their past works and see if I fit with the actors they’re representing? Thank you so much for all the help!

The creators of the short film made sure to promote all the actors on their social media, so that was nice at least. However, I thought that this role would have more screen time. Turns out it's mostly voice acting in a phone scene. Should I tell them I've changed my mind? Is it worth it for the experience?
