dealing with ageism by cr00ps • last post Aug 25th
I'm 26 years old and just started my acting journey. I plan to go to drama school soon. By the time I graduate I'll be 30. I'm not sure how many years after that it'll take to get a big break. Or if I'll even get roles. As a WOC I'm also at a big disadvantage. Hollywood doesn't look upon older women kindly and since I'll start my career properly only in my 30s, it's even worse. I'm so scared of aging and how I'll be perceived due to it. I'm considering not going into acting all together. I know many people get their big break in their 40s, but they started in their teens and 20s too. They spent years building up that foundation. I'm already so behind. It's only recently the tides have been turning for actresses and even then, progress is SLOW. What kind of roles wilI be playing 20 or 30 years from now? Will I even be in the industry still? What's my place as an aging actor? If I started earlier, I wouldn't give any of these things much thought but for my age, I should be much further along.

[PAID] Casting Black Voice Actors for WAYWARD SAINTS | Southern Gothic Horror Comic Dub | 1911 Mississippi by Academic-Offer-3011 • last post Aug 25th
Hey everyone! I’m currently casting voice actors for **WAYWARD SAINTS**, an original Southern Gothic supernatural horror comic set in **1911 Mississippi**. I’m producing a **voice-acted comic read-along / comic dub** of the opening sequence of Issue #1 and am currently looking for actors to bring the main cast to life. The story follows **Robert “Job” Johnson**, a young Black man whose life becomes intertwined with **Delilah**, a mysterious woman who is far more than she appears. *Wayward Saints* blends **Southern Gothic horror, folklore, supernatural mystery, dark fantasy, drama, and romance**, with themes surrounding faith, love, trauma, friendship, and the things that answer when prayers go unheard. For this first production, we’re casting: **Robert “Job” Johnson** \- Male Young Adult **Delilah** \- Female Young Adult **Ezekiel “Zeke”** \- Male Adult **Aurora** \- Female Young Adult **Eli Booker** \- Male Young Adult I’m especially interested in **Black voice actors** for these characters and performers who are comfortable with Southern dialogue and vernacular. You do **not** need to force an exaggerated Southern accent. Natural, believable performances and chemistry are much more important to me. ?️ **This is a PAID project.** ? Flat-rate compensation by role ? Payment through PayPal, Cash App, or Zelle ? **Audition deadline: October 1, 2026** ? Remote recording The opening scene is actually one of the lighter parts of the story: friends drinking, joking, teasing Job about Delilah, and generally giving each other hell before the larger story begins to unfold. The comic itself eventually deals with mature subject matter including **racism, racial violence, trauma, religious doubt, death, and supernatural horror**, so please keep that in mind if you’re interested in potentially returning for the characters in future installments. If you're interested, character descriptions, audition lines, payment information, and the full casting details are available here: [Audition for WAYWARD SAINTS on Casting Call Club](https://www.castingcall.club/projects/wayward-saints?utm_source=chatgpt.com) Feel free to audition even if you haven't done a comic dub before. **I'm looking for actors who can make these characters sound like real people sharing a room, not people reading speech bubbles.** Thanks for checking it out! ?️
Does Anyone Miss In-Person Auditions? by Jackie Letkowski • last post Aug 24th
Personally, I miss being "in the room" with the actual casting director and other members of the upcoming project. There's something magical about the interaction when you meet. Does anyone else agree? Or are video auditions too convenient to pass up?
Why I Accepted a Local Hire Audition That Would Pay Me Less by Aaron Marcus • last post Aug 24th
I just accepted an audition where I'll be earning a lot less money than usual — no per diem, mileage/toll reimbursements, hotel accommodations, and a five-hour drive each way. Here's why I said yes anyway. - and it was a smart business decision.
Should I move to NYC or stay in LA? Actors help! by dipsydoodleeater • last post Aug 24th
Hello! I’m a 27 year old actress and moved away from New Jersey in order to pursue acting in LA. However, I just don’t love it. The community doesn’t feel strong, the culture is so different from the east coast, and I’m so far from my family. I’ve done a couple gigs and love my acting class, but find that I’ve been so unhappy since I’ve gotten here that I don’t have much motivation. Other factors: \-I am currently on workers comp from an injury, and am running out of money. I will have to find a new job soon, and finding jobs here is next to impossible. I feel like I’m broke, unhappy, and far from my family, and it’s just not worth it anymore. BUT of course I have doubts and “what ifs” and a million different voice in my head saying the same thing. Any advice would help!!!
Greatest number of revisions you've ever had to do? by RefrigeratorFar2211 • last post Aug 24th
As a voice actor, I've been very curious about this! While revisions are considered a normal part of voice acting, it may be easy to feel discouraged or not good enough. With this in mind, I'm curious to know what is the highest number of revisions you've completed for a client during your voice acting journey?

What do actors like from their directors? by Southern-Feeling1545 • last post Aug 24th
Hello! Little bit about me, I'm a senior film student. A couple years ago I began to learn how incredibly difficult acting can be, and after talking with actors and taking some classes myself to better understand your craft, realized how difficult working with directors can be. To any actors on here, I'd like to hear what you look for in your characters, and I guess more specifically, what you'd like to know about your characters FROM directors/writers. What kind of details and aspects are important? What do you see in scripts that help you connect and create your performance? Thank you!

21 wanting to start an acting career by prettyxflower • last post Aug 24th
Hey guys ! I’m 21 and I’ve always been passionate about acting but it’s not something that I’ve pursued until now. I’ve been doing a lot of research in regard to different acting schools etc. I know that a lot of actors tend to get their breakthroughs later on in life while having prior acting experience. I know that acting has no age limits and you can always learn, however my concern is that there are people my age that have prior acting experience while I on other hand do not. My question is, am I still capable of becoming a successful actress regardless of the age that I’m starting to learn at ?

Resume With Zero Current Experience by _teacher_teacher_ • last post Aug 24th
Hi, all. I searched the site for similar posts so I hope this is not redundant. I am trying to get into acting and am working on building my profiles on Actors Access and Casting Networks. The problem is, all my experience - which does include a documentary on Amazon Prime - is over 10 years old and some is even close to 20 years old. So obviously not what I want to put on a resume. I am starting an acting class in September and I've seen on other posts that I should include that. I'm just wondering what I can do so my resume isn't essentially blank. I would like to audition for some theater roles, however, living in Chicago, I'm finding it difficult to find roles that aren't also needing some history of experience/a resume. Any advice would be very helpful, and not just limited to resumes! Headshots, demo reels, monologues, etc. TIA!
Help picking managers! by Apprehensive-Hawk-67 • last post Aug 24th
I am a new actor and somehow I landed offers from a couple of management agencies. I'm torn between four offers: DBA Talent Advanced Management Entertainment Lab Mattie Management Summit Pictures and Management To preface most of these agencies are looking at me as a development client, like they really want to build me into something because I have virtually no credits. I'm just looking for the best to do that!

Is Magna Talent still operational. I have heard from several actors repped by Magna that it has ceased to exist but they are still on IMDB. Any clarification would be appreciated
Is it fun? by Silent_Swordfish5698 • last post Aug 24th
I never really got into acting because every time I tried it was in front of hundreds of people being put in the spotlight. I realized that in VA that all of that spotlight is taken off of me, my face and physical features. I just want to ask… to all the voice actors out there, is it fun? do you believe its worth it?
Sound of Music ECC 8/24 by Noneqbaby • last post Aug 23rd
Looking For Actress by pvoxdon • last post Aug 23rd
Hey, I don’t think this will get a proper response but wtv. I’m looking to create a satirical video channel that will be conducted like a podcast. It will satirically follow the ideologies of the very extreme right and “red pilled” community. I’m looking for a white woman, conventionally attractive, and willing to wear tight clothing and show her print, yes I know it sounds crazy, but if you’re interested you will play the role of a “dumb” bimbo-like character, that agrees to everything the podcast host is will say.
Scared of publicity? by TrainingBusiness2851 • last post Aug 23rd
Has anyone ever held themselves back from getting into acting because of a fear of publicity? Since I was a kid, I've always loved acting, and the art behind filmmaking has always interested me, but I have also always had OCD. Part of this gives me the worst intrusive thoughts. One being that I am a terrible person and if I were to ever be famous, the world would shred me apart, which is weird, since the only problematic thing I have ever really done is probably be mean to a friend once by accident in high school, which was probably around 4 years ago. I get scared because I'm not perfect, I have made mistakes and will make mistakes in the future. I am totally content with that fact as everyone is human! Everyone is able to change, atone or forgive; however, I swear actors are not seen as human. What if the public uses any small mistake to their advantage? When I see how many people make up things about actors, or even just the smallest thing, such as not smiling at a fan on the street, makes them problematic, it honestly puts me off. (Which is frustrating because there are plenty of celebrities high and low tier who genuinely are problematic and still have traction.) I am interested to know if anyone has ever struggled with this idea or thought at all and still continued to pursue their dream? (I'm new to this subreddit, and I have read through all the FAQ and Rules, and I am pretty sure this does not breach any of them!! I apologise if it has/please remove.)
