Need a site to find voice actors for free work by gibbbehh  •  last post Dec 19th

That title sounds horrible lmao Im trying to make a MCU style intro and I just need a bunch of different people to say 1 line so I can overlap them. I checked in r/recordthisforfree but it seems like a pretty dry sub. Would any of you happen to know of a active website I can go to and post a advertisement on?

I think i’m a good actor. Maybe I have what it takes - unfortunately by TryingMyHardestNot2  •  last post Dec 18th

I’ve lived a fucked up life. I had to act in order to survive. Not in a professional sense but as a literal way to survive. Act like you’re happy. Act like things are okay. Act like you like people. Act like you love. Act like you know. Maybe I do though? Maybe I am though? Are there any famous actors who’ve come from fucked up lives that made it? I can be anyone I want to be. Especially if I can relate to them. Where do I start? I have access to NYC and I could always move to LA. The difference between me and many is that acting wasn’t a choice for me. It might be now in a technical sense but I’m starting to believe that it’s one of my strongest skills and I’m thinking of pursuing it. Who knows, maybe I suck at it. Which would be ironic and hysterical but something tells me my ability to fool everyone in my life, even the closest people to me, might mean I’m better than I want to be. I love film too. But fucked up roles would suit me best.

Will Anti-Depressants Make Me a Worse Actor? by Zakaroo_  •  last post Dec 18th

There was a post about this from 8 years ago, but there's a lot more people here now as well as different medication so I thought I'd ask this again. I got prescribed for 150mg of Wellbutrin daily and I'm super worried that it will dull my emotions and make emotionally connecting in a scene harder. I'm already not very sensitive to emotions compared to most actors. I'd love to hear about anyone's experience using anti-depressants.

Question about pricing by StillAssistance  •  last post Dec 18th

Hello, I want to ask a question... Due to personal reasons (Reasons I do not want to disclose) I want to ask if some voice actors (not all) accept rev share as payment? Again this is for personal reasons.

Beginner Voice Actor Looking For Advice! :D by Adamanos  •  last post Dec 18th

Hey everyone! I'm Adam, I'm 17 years old (18 in 2 months) and and want to begin voice acting in a somewhat professional setting. Ever since puberty hit, everyone has been telling me that I have a great voice and that I should pursue voice acting in some form. If I had to describe my voice, I would say relatively deep (nothing crazy like Morgan freeman or something, haha) and slightly raspy, but still sounding like a teenager/young adult, with a standard American accent. I've made YouTube Videos in the past for fun and even accumulated 10.000 subscribers so I know a thing or two about video and audio editing. About two months ago I set up a Fiverr Gig to try to get into voice acting, however I only ended up getting one client. Does anyone have any recommendations on how I could start voice acting (semi) professionally and actually get clients? I would appreciate any advice! :D \[If you are interested, I use a scarlet 2i2 audio interface/microphone + a pop-filter to record my voice.\]

NU commercial contract advice - rude to ask for intended usage/buyout before officially booking? by ComfortableSecurity1  •  last post Dec 18th

Hello! I'm a non-union actor without an agent on hold for a digital promo spot. The pay is pretty low (a couple hundred), and the audition didn't state the intended usage or the buyout terms up front. I probably should have asked when I sent in my callback audition, but kept assuming they would tell me at some point during our correspondence! Now they've asked me to hold a few dates, and I still don't have full information on the booking. Would it be inappropriate to email the production company and ask for intended usage/buyout information before they've officially booked me? I don't want to be rude or seem like I'm assuming I'll book it, but am also worried that they'll finalize the booking very close to the proposed shoot dates and that the contract will be problematic, and I'll have to pull out last minute - which also doesn't seem like a great look. I've considered trying to contact a commercial agent to help with the negotiations, but for a deal that's only a few hundred dollars I'm not sure they'd be willing to work with someone they don't rep. Or is that untrue? I did research on the production company, and they seem legit otherwise. Any advice would be very welcome, thank you!

Help with Characterization of a Role? by azzyvin  •  last post Dec 18th

Hello! I was just casted as Angie from The Wedding Singer and was wondering if any actors/actresses had any advice on how to properly characterize her so I can get a head start over our Christmas break!

Concerns as a Trans actress. by MarTheCutie  •  last post Dec 18th

Hello, My name is Marilyn, and I'm a 17 year old trans girl. I came on here to talk about something that's been concerning to me. I've been researching locations of some of my favorite shows and I saw a few filming locations that were anti LGBT. So I wanted to ask, in the event that I end up in a series like this, would I **have** to travel to these countries? Would they replace me if I can't? How much do they care for my safety? Thanks in advance!

This will be long-term and I am looking for someone who is reliable and ready to work. \*\*Don't apply if you only do voice overs in English If this sounds like you please let me know how much you charge per 1000 words, I look forward to working with you.

The Competition by GundamAC197  •  last post Dec 17th

I just saw a post on Casting Call Club requesting "Meticulous Voice Actors" for an AI character voice library. Doesn't list a link to or name of the company's site, but the username who posted was "\[name\]\_at\_replica". Googled "Replica AI," and found them: [https://replicastudios.com/](https://replicastudios.com/) Listening to the demos, some of these are pretty terrible but there are more than a few that are passable--good enough that if you dumped them in behind a bunch of sfx and music most people wouldn't second guess. Just thought this was interesting--there have been a few posts here regarding people's opinion of AI in VO work, but I wasn't sure how many people had heard what they were up against.

Legendary Voice Actor Tara Strong Voice Directing New Movie With Walk off the Earth Funded by NFTs by GobbleGuy88  •  last post Dec 17th

Hey guys! I am a fan of the VA world AND the band Walk off the Earth so this cross-over is amazing to me. I heard about this project that the band Walk Off the Earth is doing that’s super cool. They’re making a movie that’s funding itself one frame at a time with NFTs and casting all supporting roles within their Discord community! A few days ago they announced that TARA STRONG (yes, THAT Tara Strong) is going to voice directing everyone in the movie which is totally nuts. The director is super legit as well - looks like he's done multiple big-name animated features. Just wanted to share as I know there are lots of people on here looking to break into the VA/animation world! I don't think you have to purchase anything to audition, so could be a good opportunity to get involved in the pro-voice acting world. To join the community, go to Tara's Twitter thread linked below or google "The HolidayVerse Discord". Here is a link to Tara's Twitter announcement: [https://twitter.com/tarastrong/status/1470458197223825413?s=20](https://twitter.com/tarastrong/status/1470458197223825413?s=20)

I have found a website for voice actor agents…. by BobsBurgerLove  •  last post Dec 17th

What are Some Acting Performances You’ve Really Enjoyed Watching This Year Whether It’s TV, Film, or Theater by gregieb429  •  last post Dec 16th

It could be a scene, episode, or a whole show or movie. A few that pop into my head because of how recent they are: The Roy siblings in the Succession Finale Rachel Zegler as Maria in West Side Story Mark Duplass as Chip Black in The Morning Show (Season 2 Episode 8). There are several other great actors on that show as well Another one that comes to mind is the Steve Martin elevator scene in the Only Murders In The Building Finale

Just starting out. I have some questions and need some advice <3 by Still-Programmer-346  •  last post Dec 16th

Hey there. Long time lurker. I'm in Australia, I've done a few short courses and I'm still pretty new to the career. I have an agent and I do go to an audition every 2 or 3 months (TV commercials only). So far I have not landed a gig. But that's cool! I'm keen to pursue this further but I miss having a full time wage and having that security. The older I get the harder it is to accept a self inflicted low-income life. The only well paid work I'm qualified to do is office cubicle related (yuck). I'm currently not working much and facing a fork in the road. My question is: Is there anyone out there who managed to balance going to auditions and became an actor while working full time? Or do most people have a casual job or save a huge nest egg before committing full time to acting? I'm also considering auditioning for a performing arts school. But it's full time study for 3 years. The cost is astronomical and they are incredibly hard to get into. My question about this is: Is it reasonable to try and become an actor/land gigs by grinding for student films, building showreel, self teachings at home and/or more short courses? Or will the 3 year bachelor be that significant of a difference? Studying full time offers even less work opportunities. I'm trying to be realistic and would appreciate any input. Thanks for reading!

Headshot-Age Range-Character Type Feedback by AutoModerator  •  last post Dec 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.

How do I do get in stage acting? by ChristineEliza  •  last post Dec 16th

A year ago I was in college for my first semester in theatre and it didn’t offer me anything. Also I have been trying to get to any acting stuff since I was 9 yrs old. I then recently read about Keanu Reeves and found out. He just got into stage acting first. Somehow and started his life as an actor there. The only thing I ever got to do is background/extra work since 2011. I only want to be in speaking roles.

Getting over voice anxiety is kind of a pain by realSpillerSoda  •  last post Dec 16th

So I'm trying to record my voice for some Youtube stuff, and right now, I'm just trying to get over some recording anxiety. And it's a real pain in the ass. I hear my recordings and you can pretty much hear the nervousness in my voice. No energy. I tried to psyche myself up and put more energy into my performance but not a lot changed. Don't know if it's because the audio is unfiltered or just my emotional state but hearing it is just painful. I look at the recording time. My segments total to like a minute and I'm nowhere near a quarter of the way through the script I've been told that I'm a good actor and it's not like it's completely new to me, but I don't know. I just don't have that confidence that I used to have. I've been putting this off for a long time (you can thank college for that) and I want to just get it done, but maybe I should take it slow after all, just to regain confidence What is the best approach to this? To just do it or a little at a time?
