Actors Access Glitch? by AromaticTrade7947  •  last post Nov 21st

I do not have an agent or manager but I logged on to my AA profile and on the home page it says “congratulations your AA profile has been successfully connected to your talent representative”. Has anyone who is unrepresented had this happen before? Should I be worried that my account is like hacked or something?

How to express emotions when in real life we can speak pretty cold and emotionlessly? by PawneeMifflin  •  last post Nov 21st

I noticed there are some people who speak without any facial expressions or tonal shifts... Some however speak with such richness in every word and their facial gestures are always so lively. I noticed I can sound pretty monotone and it doesn't really match the intention or meaning of the words being said in my day to day life ! If I were to take that to my performances (which I inevitably do), it would come off as poor delivery, monotone, and an actor who's not connected to his words. (Which are criticisms I have gotten and I myself find very true when viewing my work). I have been able to project and connect at times, but it's not something habitual or "natural" for me ALL the time. TL;DR: How do I go about connecting emotionally when my own life isn't enough to rely on for those habits and reactions?

If you HAD to chose between one kind of representation which would you chose? by RoyalMannequin  •  last post Nov 21st

This is a hypothetical question. I am interested in knowing which of type of rep most actors prioritize. Feel free to explain your reasoning in the comments - would love to read it! EDIT: In keeping things somewhat equal - this would assume that the manager rep also submits their actors on breakdowns/projects. [View Poll](https://www.reddit.com/poll/z1b0bm)

HB studio and Barrow Group by No-Stick8964  •  last post Nov 21st

I have heard the HB Studio scene study classes are somewhat better than those at the Barrow Group. Is there someone here who has taken classes from HB studio/TBG that I dm to learn more about your experience? Also, at the end of the day does the studio you attend matter a lot in building skills as an actor? Like is there a huge difference in whether I attend HB or TBG?

Can someone explain to me like I'm 5; Why streaming-era residual checks for actors are less than decades before? by penguin_reddit  •  last post Nov 21st

How to tell a voice actor im commissioning that it doesn't sound right? by Responsible_Parking1  •  last post Nov 21st

I hope this is ok to post here. I'm an artist and I wanted a custom script read out by a VA I found online. It's for a game I like playing and making fan art for. He's voiced many of the characters in the past, and I've listened to most of them (He's very good!). However, the script I needed read included a character I haven't heard him voice yet. When I asked for an example it wasn't accurate (the voice was too high, the accent was off), and I felt like I couldn't correct him. I do commission work, and when a client asks for it changed, it's easy to do. But how do you tell a VA that they aren't voicing a character well enough? I feel like a jerk but I just can't figure out what to say. ​ For people who do paid VA work, how would you prefer a client tell you this? All help is appreciated

I had the most exciting time doing a commercial and it all makes the journey worth while by synthmylife  •  last post Nov 21st

I recently was in a commercial and after doing this for as long as I have, it was such a milestone and it was so epic that it reminded me that all my work that I put into training, workshops, headshots and everything in between, as well as all the gigs I've had in the past, worth while. Believe me when I tell you, if you just keep going and never give up and keep reminding yourself that one day good things will happen, they will happen, and when they do get ready for success. It's one thing to fail and you get used to it, but it's equally as difficult to handle success. Remember this. If you're 100% devoted to acting, your agent, casting directors, clients and all the connections you've made will KNOW this. I've been doing the acting thing for most of my life but only recently have I been able to have pride of where I'm at and it's been keeping me afloat.. Just keep it up and do a great job wherever you go. Once you develop a great formula for auditions and it works, don't change it, keep up with what you're doing if you are getting frequent call backs. Learn as much as you can from each set and make sure you inform your agent when you're wrapped and remind them how much fun you had and how much it means to you. Your agent will continually keep working hard for you if they know how much it means to you. Don't get me wrong, you need to be financially smart. Also if you're working a full time job- a real flexible job, you need to keep yourself available for gigs that are on the horizon. Availability is key. I know it's really difficult not knowing when your next gig will be, you just have to be really financially smart and determined. You need to have a great support system and circle of care as well. It's a difficult journey, lots of rejections and lots of unsure moments of where you're gonna end up or what you're going to eat for the next couple weeks. if you play your cards right and you keep trying to better your skills, honing your craft, like I said do a GREAT job and treat EVERYONE with respect, life as an Actor will be easier trust me. Don't be a negative person on set as well - people can feel that energy and sense it and it really works against you believe me, I've seen it first hand how it affects so many people. Your attitude is everything, when you keep it POSITIVE, people will want to jump on that train and be positive with you. In a world filled with so much suffering and pain the best thing to do is put a smile on your face. Bring joy to the people around you, be proud of what you accomplished so far even if it's just small things. Things don't happen overnight, it's a constant run of the gauntlet - every experience builds you as a person and as an Actor so make sure you experience real things in your life too! That's all I wanted to say and I hope I can inspire you with my words, even though they are so few, I really hope you go for your dream, even if you think it's a pipe dream - keep hitting that pipe baby and things will flow eventually. With so much love for you fellow actors, -Julian

[Voice Acting Critique Request] Two versions of an audio drama — Whistler Mountain is Haunted by mediamusing  •  last post Nov 21st

I was the writer on this YouTube audio drama and, as it's my first project with the actors, we recorded two versions. We are looking for feedback for other similar audio projects going forwards. If any of you are voice actors or interested in audio drama please let us know what you think! Which do you prefer? How could the acting/drama be improved? [One Version](https://youtu.be/M7VzlICzmnU) is with American accents. [The second version](https://youtu.be/vNV7cLYfCpQ) is with a British accent and slightly different production. All feedback is very welcome as we strive to improve. Obviously I'm not asking that you listen to both versions all the way through, but any critique on what you can listen to would be very welcome!! You can also read the original NoSleep story (i.e. the script) as I know some filmmaking subs require this: [Whistler Mountain is Haunted](https://www.reddit.com/r/nosleep/comments/wzqzy7/no_one_knows_what_really_happened_up_whistler/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) Thank you for reading! :)

Looking for voice actors (phone messages, podcast intros, youtube intros, ads) by Appetizer81  •  last post Nov 20th

Hi, I'm Alex and running an EU-based audio market. For our expansion to US, I'm looking for voice actors, that are speaking english natively and are willing to do contract work for our customers, typically smaller and middle sized companies and media agencies. Right now, we only sell customized phone messages, but want to expand our voice artist area towards podcast intros, youtube intros and also commercials. I'm following this sub for a while now, since I'm doing some commissioned work myself on my platform. **What are the rates?** Right now, we're paying around 28$ per phone message text. Rates for podcast intros would be around 50$ (not live yet). Typically, our customers order between 1-3 phone messages per order. Our typical customers are situated in EU, but we want to address american customers as well. **How it works** Customers can choose from a selection of voice actors and music, to create their unique phone message. When a customer has chosen you for a phone message, you will get an email with a briefing You have a recording window of 5 workdays. After delivering the recordings, we will mix and master everything and send it to the customer. If no corrections are necessary, you will get your money, via Paypal or Bank Transfer. If you have more questions, I will try my best to answer them. Since this is a new area for our company, I'm happy about every feedback.
