How Do The Seasons Work With Commercials? by StoryPupil • last post Feb 17th
I used to know it, but now I've forgotten. Is it Jan - May the slow season? Advertisers cut back on spending starting in January through March and I believe that affects commercials overall. Also, a bit unrelated. But how many of you think commercials are worth pursuing? I sometimes question my interest in it. It's like, I like the idea and the challenge behind it. Money isn't a motivator. But I can't but to think of all these actors who've never landed a single commercial role and they've been auditioning for them for years.
What is the methodology for developing different voices? by khashi1975 • last post Feb 17th
I'm not just talking about strange non-human voices but accents from different cultures. How do actors learn to do different accents? Is that the same way voice actors will go about learning to do them?
Any recommendations for small to medium agents in the UK? by Carlton_Banks212 • last post Feb 17th
I'm 22 currently in a professional theatre show having just filmed two short films for showreels. I had one year of professional training and am now looking for the next step into getting work as an actor. Any advice would be appreciated as I know some people say to hold off getting an agent while others say its worth getting one to add to your acting cv. Many thanks
Always dry throat and stuffy nose, doc can‘t find anything related to it ! by amig00s • last post Feb 17th
I just went to 2 different actors to take a x ray of my throat, thyroid and nose & all of them said that they are healthy and in super condition, How can it still be that I have a nasal thin voice that gets super dry and tired after singing/humming for some minutes? I have this symptoms for about a year now, and it makes it really depressing as I’m a musician… Any help/tips?
Am I the Only one who wonders why Komi Can't communicate isn't on Behind the Voice Actor website? by WhiteDarkness20 • last post Feb 17th
I could do it myself but I don't exactly know how to add a page or add the character on the voice actor's page, and I'm wonder if anyone this community know how to do it and it bothers since Fandom.Com wiki page is more active and up-to-date with the characters and who voices them
Can some one recommend any good acting coaches in NYC who are not that expensive? by sha29Q • last post Feb 17th
So I’m an actress in NYC, I have trained at HB studio back in 2017-2018 and Identity Drama School online training from 2020 -2021. Although, the online training was great, I really want to get back into in-person training, but I also feel I need an acting coach to get a more one on one experience. Can someone recommend an acting coach to me. Who is at a reasonable price

Doing an audition when not SAG or SAG-E yet? by actionj32 • last post Feb 17th
Just got an audition request for a guest-star role on a television show that I have submitted for multiple times! However, when they sent the audition, in the instructions it said in all caps… “IMPORTANT INFO: MUST BE SAG-E OR SAG”. I’ve seen different opinions on still auditioning in hopes of getting to Taft-Hartley, but since I am not SAG-E or SAG yet and those were their specific requirements, should I decline the audition, let them know that I am not SAG-E yet & thank them for the opportunity or should I still submit an audition? (FYI I am not currently repped so I’m not able to talk to an agent or manager……yet
Mastering the Craft: How to Become an Exceptional Actor in 2023 by Dotavcomics • last post Feb 17th
Becoming an actor is a dream that many people share. It’s a profession that allows you to express your creativity, evoke emotions, and entertain people. However, becoming an exceptional actor requires more than just talent and passion. It requires dedication, hard work, and a willingness to continuously improve your craft. In this guide, we will explore the steps you can take to become an excellent actor in 2023. Step 1: Build a Strong Foundation Just like any other profession, building a strong foundation is crucial in the acting world. Start by taking acting classes and workshops to develop your acting skills. Look for reputable acting schools that offer comprehensive training in various areas of acting, such as script analysis, improvisation, and voice and speech training. Consider joining community theatre groups or student films to gain experience and exposure. Additionally, read books and watch movies to learn about acting techniques, methods, and theories. Some recommended books include “An Actor Prepares” by Constantin Stanislavski, “The Power of the Actor” by Ivana Chubbuck, and “Respect for Acting” by Uta Hagen. Watching movies with outstanding performances can also provide you with inspiration and learning opportunities. Step 2: Create Your Own Work In today’s competitive acting industry, creating your own work can give you a significant advantage. It allows you to showcase your talents, gain exposure, and develop your skills. Create your own content, such as short films, web series, or sketches. You can also write your own monologues or scenes to perform and share online or in workshops. Additionally, consider collaborating with other artists, such as writers, directors, and producers, to create projects that showcase your talents. Joining or creating a writing or producing group can help you network and find potential collaborators.

Possible Scam Casting Call by DaWizIV • last post Feb 16th
I signed up for The Mandy Network the other day and within the next day or two, someone reached out to my via text message saying they found my number on the site. They told me they are looking for models/actors for an upcoming commercial project. They said they would be sending me a check that covers the costume and fees for the project, but that I still need to send measurements as well as a photo of my driver's license. It seems okay to me so far, but I wasn't sure and wanted to know if anyone has heard of Tram Production as well as any tips or advice on how to be able to spot casting call scams. Thanks! Edit: Here is the website they sent me: [https://www.tramproduction.eu/](https://www.tramproduction.eu/)
Demo Scripts - Commissions Open by Matthew_Archer • last post Feb 16th
Hello voice actors of Reddit! I've opened commissions for demo scripts for character, animation and video game reels. I've been trained as a script writer through uni and I've also helped produce several reels. I work with you directly, samples of your voice, what you're wanting to showcase as a voice actor or voiceover artist. I also provide 72 hour (or less) turnaround time. If you are looking for a script writer, please let me know. I do work with budgets and am currently trying to make a bit extra so my fiance and I don't lose our house. Please reach out to me if you're in the market.
Some very personal tiny advice by Someones_Ex • last post Feb 16th
If you're planning to do a demo reel, please (PLEASE), try to start by speaking normally in your most natural voice... don't rush into a frenzy of over-acted cartoon characters with music blaring in the background. You should try to open up your acting range a bit, even if your only goal is to voice anime or Saturday morning cartoons. Let your natural self help you add a bit of uniqueness to your candidacy (just in case, God forbid, someone is looking for something other than a pirate-sounding baritone or a screaming yandere schoolgirl). I've just listened to at least half a hundred voice acting reels and I'm going bananas with how ridiculously difficult it is to know what the actors really sound like and how far their acting ability can go beyond screaming in a parody. I believe this tiny change could expand your possibilities without closing any door (and it would be a great help for those looking for something different).
I have a bad feeling about this audition. I don’t know if I should cancel or if I’m being over dramatic. by maddiemarcicatherine • last post Feb 16th
So I (19f) am a newer actor, I have some experience but not much. I was recently contacted over Instagram by a man who was casting a tv show. I looked it up, there’s already an IMDb, trailers and things like that and he said they are just finishing up and he was casting a small role just added in. He said the show was gonna stream on multiple platforms so I was super excited and accepted. I received the sides and they are very sexual (groping, making out and sexual dialogue like saying he’s my master and stuff) which normally wouldn’t be a huge issue for me but I looked at imdb and the person I’m being sexual with is the guy who is casting the project and he’s 55, I feel guilty saying I feel weird about it since clearly the show is real but I just feel really weird about it. Are age gaps like this common in smaller productions? Edit: I also just feel like with that age gap there would be a reason they were looking for someone so young. But by reading the full script for the episode it just doesn’t seem necessary which also threw me off. But again I’m very new so maybe this is more normal than what I’m making it out to be. & it pays 100.00 a day, seems pretty low budget based off of the trailers but he said he’s in talks with Netflix which is what made me want to accept

Headshot-Age Range-Character Type Feedback by AutoModerator • last post Feb 16th
Use this thread to post your headshots for feedback, get info on your age range/type, find good headshot photographers, ask any questions you may have about headshots. If you are posting a DIY headshot for feedback, and not just a snapshot in order to get feedback on your age range/type/etc, it is advised that you do at least some basic research on what actor headshots look like--composition, framing, lighting. You will find a Google Image search for "actor headshots" to be very helpful for this. Non-professional shots are fine for age/typecasting; please keep in mind that one picture is a difficult way to go about this. Video of you moving and speaking would be ideal, but understandably more difficult to post. ​ For what it's worth, the branding workshop at SAG-AFTRA recommends a five-year age range. That's inclusive, so for example 19-23, 25-29, 34-38, etc.
