Self Tapes are..... a lot by rantingrainbow • last post Feb 3rd
I'm FINALLY out there as a professionally working trans actor, and oh my GOD, I heard stories about making self tapes, but I had no idea just how much they can royally suck sometimes. Right now, I'm trying to find a better ring light, but I'm not sure exactly what to get. Any tips on getting used to making self tapes, or getting off-book quickly???
Voice actors/actresses for a new animation channel on youtube by Gutokenji • last post Feb 3rd
Hey guys! I'm looking for voice actors/actresses for a new animation channel on youtube based on animes. In fact, I already have a monetized animation channel, but all the videos are dubbed in Brazilian Portuguese, so I already have more than 20 videos available to be dubbed in English on the new channel that I'm going to create. The videos has 2-4 minutes each (average), and I see great potential to grow on the platform with the English dub. Regarding remuneration, I will be more than happy to compensate the voice actors/actresses once the channel is monetized, to be negotiated with each voice actor/actresses for each animation. In other words, unfortunately I'm not able to pay at the beginning, but we can negotiate a fixed amount, in a single shot via Paypal, conditioned to the monetization of the channel, but I have no idea of a fair value for it in USD. Thank you all for the attention and I will leave here the link of my animation channel in Portuguese for your reference and data regarding the channel below: Youtube: 13,000 followers, Total views 1,600,000 [https://www.youtube.com/c/GutoKenji](https://www.youtube.com/c/GutoKenji) Tiktok: Followers 40,000, Total views 1,400,000 [https://www.tiktok.com/@guto\_kenji](https://www.tiktok.com/@guto_kenji) In addition, Facebook pages and groups shared my animations totaling more than 3,000,000 views and I was featured in articles on news sites of games and movies in Brazil. All the above data were obtained in 10 months since the opening of the Brazilian channel. If you like animes and a have a good voice for it, please send me a message. Beginners are welcome too! To community moderatos: If this remuneration format is not accepted, I ask you to kindly remove the post and I apologize if there is mistakes in my english text.

I got rejected from acting school, what now? by Daniel-is-a-Bastard • last post Feb 3rd
So, I (18) just want to be an actor, a musical one would have my preference, but I got rejected from acting school, they didn't even tell me why. And "the next best thing" just doesn't feel right, I was thinking visual art, but acting keeps being all I want, but I feel like I'm too late. I started relatively late with acting classes (11-ish), and I quit after two years, which devastated me because "I had to focus on school". Biggest mistake. I feel like I'm too late now, I have no connections, and I only recently started singing now that I have enough money. I still feel like I can't even do musical classes because of 1) I don't have that money and 2) I'm not even good enough for that. So what now? Is there still a way to the stage for me? And what now?
Convention Agents? by rosencranzand • last post Feb 3rd
So I can't find much info on google so I thought I'd try here. You know how known and relatively well known Animation and VG VO actors go to conventions to sign things, do panels? Does any body have any info on: 1) What is the lowest level that a "Convention agent" would consider someone? Can you think of an example 2) Can you name some agents that do this kind of thing? Thanks!

Older podcast episode in regards to the show but it covers voice acting with a professional who’s been in the industry. https://www.podcasttheway.com/l/the-voiceover/ Description copy and pasted: Today's guest is Don Grant; a professional voice actor whose work has even appeared in Super Bowl commercials. There's a lot to discuss in the profession of voice acting, from the technical to the historical. In this episode, he shares his perspective that comes from decades of practicing and performing. Tune in to learn more, or you can always just tune in to hear my voice outclassed for an entire episode.
Discord made for NYC Filmmakers (and actors!) by Vabrynnn • last post Feb 3rd
Hey all, In this pandemic it has been hard to meet others and I thought it would be nice to create a discord for creatives in NYC. This discord is intended for hobbyists to working professionals. I have made channels for every major industry department, eg: actors, G&E, costume, etc. and there are more general channels for filmmakers trying to talk shop! The intention is to also have this discord have regular meetups so that we can meet each other in person. This is a brand new discord so forgive me if it needs a little touching-up. But I'd love to have anyone interested join! The link to the discord server is below. [https://discord.gg/kz9G8QBG](https://discord.gg/kz9G8QBG)
Talent Agencies in Toronto by meinai88 • last post Feb 3rd
Hello fellow Toronto actors. I have been take classes since October and I am thinking of submitting to agencies for represention. However, I don't have any experience just some training so I was wondering what are my chances of being accepted by an agency. Two people that I know from my classes were just accepted to AMP Talent who are in the similar situation as me. I did some research and found out that AMP is not listed on the Actra site but has good reviews on goggle. Would joining an agency not on the Actra site wise or should I submit to ones on Actra site. Thank you all for your advice.

Tips on getting signed by an agency (networking) by Anywhere______ • last post Feb 3rd
Agencies like UTA, ICM, Innovative, and CAA and more seem to be referral only or email. And I feel that sending an email won’t be effective at all since I imagine these agencies get a million emails a day from strangers everyday. I know that referrals come through connections but it’s tough for someone like me for example that has no ties to the industry whatsoever. Any networking tips for people that wanna get industry referrals and contacts to get further ahead? I get that talent has a lot to do with someone’s advancement in their acting career but it seems like the actors who get good work are all signed by good agencies and are well connected. How does one become well connected? :/

Acting Authentic by Skdang • last post Feb 3rd
I feel like I over act. People tell me I'm not, but when I watch my self and compare it to people on tv or actors I like I don't feel like I'm over acting. I know I shouldn't be thinking about acting and just be, be the character, but I feel like even when I am I don't seem natural when I watch myself. When I try to not over do it, it looks full and unexpressive. Any advice? Thank you!!
How much more advantageous is it for an actor pursuing film & tv to be living in LA versus anywhere else? by penguin_reddit • last post Feb 2nd
Specifically talking film & tv, and taking into consideration the changes in the business due to the state off the world (self tapes being the norm, etc.). Is actually living/moving/being based in LA as important as it once was? Even more?

Acting Courses by MathematicianLeft07 • last post Feb 2nd
I live in a place where acting is messed up even the most renowned actors here are absolutely mediocre, the acting schools don't teach any specific technique all they teach is how to get better at expression, how to maintain voice In a scene basically doing everything to make a scene look real rather than getting out of your head and immersing in a scene. I want to learn and I know there are online acting Courses too, so all I want to know is what are some great acting Courses available online? Any help will be appreciated.
