Do you usually send in two different versions of a self tape or just one? by nacho__mama • last post Nov 30th
I had an acting teacher tell us to always send in two different versions of the audition. But how would you even do this on a platform like Actors Access/ Eco casting where you can only upload one video? I guess you could just put them back to back on one recording. But I would wonder if the casting director would even realize there's another one coming up or take the time to watch it.
I think I want to be an actor but I don't truly know. by Clikkks • last post Nov 30th
Hi, I am 20 years old and am stuck in life but I think I want to be an actor. Each time I watch a movie or tv show I just think about acting. I don't know what it is about it that draws me to acting like that. I don't know if it's what I know I want to do or what. What should I do and how do I know it is what I want. ​ I am also in a bad spot in my life. Currently have no money and still live with my grandparents. I also have major social anxiety and get scared and shy when I talk to many people. And I don't have any drive. I feel tired all the time. But ya what should I do and how can I get the drive I need to start something.

Reposted Breakdown by cr0wnedprince • last post Nov 30th
This might be a dumb question but it's mostly out of curiousity. My agent got me a pretty big audition and while she said I did great, I wasn't expecting much and mostly forgot about it. But today I just saw that role posted on the actor facing side of AA and was just wondering if that means they've definitely moved on from me? The other roles in the previous breakdown weren't there either so it seems like this is the only role still left to cast.
Backstage.com question from casting's perspective: How does audition scheduler work by Ekublai • last post Nov 30th
Hey all, I'm new to casting via Backstage and don't really understand how their audition works? When I create a audition with unscheduled applicants, is it my responsibility to schedule applicants and put it in the applicants's court to request a reschedule or has creating the audition alerted them that I want them to audition and given them the power to request a slot without me adding them to the schedule? Very confused. I want the actor to pick the slot they can fit into their day during the day to audition. Much thanks in advance.
Looking for a female voice actor to voice a Mermaid in a student film. by craze1122 • last post Nov 30th
We are searching for a female voice actor to play the role of a computer-generated Mermaid in our student film. The film is set in England so a South east English accent is preferable but any British accents are accepted! The premise is: a fisherman goes to a beach where a fabled mermaid is known to live. She is a mysterious entity he believes will be able to bring his wife back from her death at sea. She lures him toward the water and unbeknown to him prepares for attack. Ideally, we are looking for a deep, rich voice but would be open to hearing all types of female voices. As we need to begin the process of lip syncing the mermaid to the dialogue we would like to try and arrange to have the lines finished by the 7th of December latest. As we will also be animating to the voice, we need footage of your face preferably with a range of emotion. We know this is a big ask and if you have any issues with it, please let us know early, the footage will not be shown anywhere and will have its sole use in animation reference for us. The piece consists of 4 lines from the mermaid and so we would be looking to pay £40 for our voice actress. Our voice actress will also be credited in the film which will be submitted to multiple film awards and seen by major Film studios. We look forward to hearing all applicants!
Am I a jerk for recasting an actor after we’ve already shot? by DarthKanyeW • last post Nov 29th
I’m a writer/director currently working thru an edit of a micro short film shit this summer. Everyone put so much work into the project, but am going through the edit now and we are planning to do a re-shoot of a scene. One of my actors, let’s call her Shailey, is only heard though her voice the entirety of the project. Shailey was really difficult to work with during pre-production, while she put a lot of prep work in, she was not good at communication. Several times I had to reach out to follow up from things she said she’d do and never happened. It felt like pulling teeth. Once I was doing rehearsal with her and we broke halfway thru, Shailey had an appointment and said she’d be gone an hour, would let me know when she got back to finish the character rehearsal. She never reached back, went to the movies that night, and I never heard from her for two weeks. It was a frustrating experience. Shailey’s character is only heard during the film, a conversation with our lead on-screen talent. I’m editing and planning a pick-up shoot, i feel like I should re-cast Shailey’s role. She has been paid already, but I don’t want to deal with communication (pulling teeth) during prep like last time and her performance was off, I know I can re-cast with a better talent. As I’m a director, I don’t want to hurt Shailey, but I am spending my own money on this film. I don’t want to deal with a flakey actor.
Help me find this play by satansdragon • last post Nov 29th
It’s a play within a play I did in high school. Basically this director is trying to put together a school play but all the actors are terrible whilst at the same time there’s a school prom going on. I remember I played the character whose motto was rise above and she was a black character. She was the directors assistant. I think her name started with a M. Like mitsy or something.
Voice actors who learn foreign languages: what techniques from voice acting have helped you with imitating foreign phonetics? by 58king • last post Nov 29th
I am someone who learns languages, and one of my interests is sounding as close as possible to a native speaker. Obviously skilled voice actors are very impressive in what they are able to accomplish with their voices, so I am wondering if anyone has seen any cross over into language learning? Are there any resources or pearls of wisdom from the voice acting community which you think would be useful for those who are in the language learning community?

What is your advice for someone who want to be an actor but is too shy? by grumpycoffeee • last post Nov 29th
I've always dreamed of getting into movie acting, but I'm extremely shy,awkward and easily embarrassed (also scared that I'm not good too).The uncertainty is also an issue. I took an acting class, but when they gave us the certificate, it turned out to be more of a scam - we never got to actually work with lines or speaking, there was a grammatical error in the certificate,we were promised to be extras in a movie, but suddenly, there were roles only for 2 people from the class etc. What are your tips? (PS also in my country people in my age group are mainly "casted" as s*x workers or women for the actor to have intimate scenes with, so there's always the "tall, attractive, good looking etc. " requirement.)
Does anyone lose interest in acting because of the industry? by CarNo5059 • last post Nov 29th
I had aspirations and interest in acting but over the pandemic I've suddenly lost it or have no desire to enter the film industry anymore. Mainly because of male actors who mistreat and cheat on their partners, dodgy or misportrayed women, dodgy execs and always building a narrative, racism, etc. Also, I feel like movies nowadays have really sunk in story quality. I like writing but I don't know if I can commit to writing scripts. I'd still like to continue singing, but I wonder why I suddenly lost interest or joy in acting.
