I'm new to acting and want to be an actor someday. Any Tips? by Tony__________Stark • last post Oct 7th
I'm 14 just getting into acting and I've fallen in love with it. I have signed up for theater class, preformed in the latest play and have been in choir for 4 years with multiple solos. Do you all have any tips that I should know getting into this field?
Multilingual actors: If you have English sides with your other language word/name in them, how do you pronounce them? Correctly in your other language or with an English accent? by fakezzzfake • last post Oct 7th
For example, I have sides, the story is in English, but I'm talking to a Russian character named Ekaterina Petrova. I speak Russian and I could pronounce her name fluently in Russian or I can pronounce it with an English accent. Have you ever had this happen? What did you do?
Joker voice actor needed by Legitimate_Mango_733 • last post Oct 7th
Hello everyone, I am a Lego stop motion creator by the name of Silly Boy on YouTube. Here’s a link to my channel if you’re interested: https://youtube.com/channel/UCAae8MbTTuSSqR9m1cgqqKw My newest video I’m working on will be a short “A DEATH IN THE FAMILY” video depicting the death of Jason Todd. I’m almost done editing but need a voice actor to play the Joker. If anyone would be willing to help me out that would be amazing. It’s not too many lines and it would really help me out. Unfortunately I can’t offer any money but will obviously credit you for your work at the end of the video. I was hoping for a more Mark Hamil sounding performance but as long as it sounds like Joker it will be fine. Thank you! Have a great day
Has anyone gotten a callback from the jv8inc a24 pilot call yet? by sunseteon • last post Oct 7th
I saw they made a new post for one of the characters, which I'm guessing means they've found their actors for the other characters?
ADVICE NEEDED. HELP PLEASE. by Abstract_Corduroy74 • last post Oct 7th
I recently got cast as Borachio in my college theatre production of Much Ado About Nothing. I was really gunning for the role of Benedick, and I was convinced that I was going to get it. But instead, I feel like I got the short end of the straw and now I’m VERY disappointed. In fact, I’m rather PISSED. I have so many questions, none of which I feel like I should ask the director. The director is someone with whom I’ve confided a lot of my insecurities and struggles with acting in, and I feel a bit betrayed. To add to the injury, a couple of years ago she said she could see me playing Benedick. So this is kind of like a jab in the heart a bit. I have been in almost every mainstage show that my university theatre department has put on the past three years I’ve been here, and the director has even told me that she believes I’m one of the most consistent and reliable actors in the program they have, and I’m a senior. Now, this makes me feel sick to my stomach. Now, I feel upset and angry. I feel like punching holes in my wall until my knuckles bleed and throwing stuff across the room. I don’t understand why she cast me as BORACHIO. BORACHIO!!! What could she possibly have seen or thought to make her think “I’ll put him as Borachio instead of Benedick, even though on his audition sheet, he said he was trying out for Benedick, ideally.” I was hoping to get Benedick because I wanted a challenge, but one I knew I could do, and one where I could do some things I’ve never done before; play a kind of character I hadn’t before. A Shakesperean lead. Add some new skills to my toolbox that will greatly help me become a better actor. I’ve never done Shakespeare before. But now I have to play a Shakespearean drunkard, which seems like a role that will add less of a challenge and not as many skills as Benedick would. If I was cast as Benedick, I know I’d care a lot about the character, but now that I’m just a Shakespearean drunkard, I don’t feel like I care about THAT character. I was also looking for some opportunities to be more dramatic. I’ve been doing that for as long as I’ve been in college. But every time I audition for something dramatic, I’m either put into a role where the kind of dramatic moments I was hoping to tackle aren’t there, or I’m cast into a role that just requires me to be “The Comedic Actor I Always Am.” While I am in a constant inner yin and yang battle of thinking “I’m a good actor, I do just what I need to do in my roles and I’m getting better” vs “Why am I not as good as I should be? I should be putting on better performances and being a better actor than I am”, I feel like my director has just taken the talent I have and just threw it into a place where she won’t have to worry about it doing anything wrong instead of giving it an opportunity to blossom even more. Rehearsals begin in three days. I know I’ll just swallow my anger, confusion, and negative feelings of unfairness and just do the work because that’s what I always do, but I feel bad that I feel the way I do about this. I feel like an arrogant, conceited, spoiled brat with an inflated ego just blowing things out of proportion because I didn’t get my way, but at the same time, I feel like I have a right and justification to feel what I do. And I don’t want to be an arrogant, spoiled, actor. I know I should be grateful, and to an extent, I am, but I can’t help but feel…bad. And I don’t really know how to get over all this crap and just embrace the damn role and experience. I know this must be what all actors go through, and I’m no different. So be it. I’m still going to pursue my dream of acting. But I’m just not used to caring so much about something only to get the short end of the straw. Does anybody have any advice, affirmations, or words of wisdom to help me get out of this rut? Thanks, everyone. I appreciate you all.
Self Tapes Should Be Paid (Rant) by GameyLannister • last post Oct 7th
This is a rant because I am tired of this industry and how they treat actors. This new age of self tapes is ridiculous. Basically we are expected to setup lights and camera and PROVIDE THE READER and edit the damn thing and submit it to casting!!?? These are all things that casting is supposed to do … and guess what?! They are saving money on all of this! They save money on the audition room, receptionist, camera operators and readers. So here’s my opinion: pay people to self tape. Give us some money so we can pay our readers (or buy them some beer). It doesn’t have to be a lot, like $50 then that would stop them from just spamming people looking for submissions. Also they should pay per page of self tape. Let’s end this insanity of the 10 page audition sides. You want 10 pages, you better pay for it. Also, give us more time. Did you not know you were making this movie until two days before? Okay rant over.

Is it easy for an actor to remember who they worked with over the years? by Desert_City_Lights • last post Oct 6th
For example, for those that have been acting for decades, would they remember a crew member or actor they used to talk to during the filming of one movie 35 years ago? If so, how common is it to remember, stay in touch, or even forget people throughout your career?
Headshot-Age Range-Character Type Feedback by AutoModerator • last post Oct 6th
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.

WeAudition slow for anyone else? by BitterRabbitKid • last post Oct 6th
I love the resource, use it as an actor and reader all the time. Of course the site has some flaws but no need to get into that here. As a reader, I've been getting \*zero\* requests suddenly? I have about 50 positive 5-star reviews and whenever I logged on I would usually get at least one request in a sitting. There are multiple professional credits attached to my IMBD and I have reasonably priced (or maybe not??) reader rates ($5/15min, $10/30min, $20/hr). I leave my beacon on all day long and for the past week and a half it's been literally crickets. Am I missing something? Maybe just a bizarre coincidence? Would love to know if anyone has any tips to get more readers, as I really enjoy having this tiny little side source of income -- grocery money!!

I am looking for a female voice actor who can record a 7 paragraph script speaking as a elf. I also need a male who can record the same script speaking as a dwarf.
I really want to become an actor, but I'm not sure if I will enjoy the process or if I actually just want the reward. by RareComputer8021 • last post Oct 5th
I have always loved watching movies and I wish that I could be in those worlds that the movies create. Like, I want to fight goblins, fly on the back of a dragon, use magic, become a superhero, survive on an island, and get lost out in space. So I thought that in order to be in those worlds, I could be an actor. My parents are skeptical because they think that I might just want the reward of acting (like being famous and making lots of money), and this is fair because they don't want me to waste my time on something that I don't actually love, yet I think I actually do love the process of acting but I'm not sure. What do you guys think? What could I do to figure all this out?
Should I stick with my Talent Agency? (Chicago) by flash217- • last post Oct 5th
I'm a part of a boutique agency in Chicago. In the last 5 months, I've had 3 theatrical and 8 commercial auditions. Is this too slow? I'll note that I am a relatively new actor so that may be why and I should just have more patience.
How do I get more audition call-backs for lead and supporting roles as a new actor? by An-Actual-Vampire1 • last post Oct 5th
I live in Los Angeles and have been acting for two years. I use Backstage and Central Casting but have gotten way more background roles than any audition call-backs. How can I get more roles for lead and supporting? I have professional headshots and a demo scene, as well as one IMDB credit. What else can I do to get more roles? My current goal is to get an agent but I feel like I need more demo scenes before applying. I've been lead in about 3-4 scenes, all student film material but I don't have the footage.
SAG-AFTRA actors: vibe check? by nondescriptmammal • last post Oct 5th
Hey all, I've been in the union for 10 years now; I've learned more about what happened before I joined, and I've seen a lot happen to the VO folks of the union since joining, and it is hard not to be angry. Voice-over is rarely treated like a full-fledged career in the union, and it usually is approached more from the lens of "This is something fun you can do when you're not booking enough on-camera work!" The reason I'm posting is because of a talk I joined last week. They offered a panel discussion on how to get into live-action dubbing. I'm already somewhat in that world, but I thought it might be good to learn some more names and faces. I stuck around long enough to hear the MC ask, "What voice-over demo do you want to hear when you're reviewing actors?" and this casting director straight-up said "a live-action reel." I understand this CD is not a SAG-AFTRA rep, but it really summed up the union's attitude toward VO. It's just something to do on the side. I have no issues with more actors from outside of VO exploring it. I think it's great. But VO didn't even have its own department until 5-6 years ago, and we still don't have a ton of resources for us specifically. I'm looking for discussion on how fellow union folks handle this, what your attitudes are about being in the union as a principally VO person, and what you think we can realistically do about it. Cheers.
