feeling overwhelmed by multiple auditions i need to do. do you guys have any tips or advice on how to handle/deal with multiple auditions (time management and etc)? by annaleecage • last post Sep 18th
hello fellow actors. i am just starting out. i am looking to build my reel so the past few days, ive just been submitting to several student film castings and commercials in hopes i can get footage and build my reel in the process. i now have 4 pending audition invite, and there are about 3 prescreens that i am also planning to do. that's on top of checking casting sites daily for any other projects i can submit to. am i doing too much? i feel slightly overwhelmed and just all over the place with managing my time, memorizing sides, filming, and balancing that with my day job as a flight attendant. in my head, since i am still starting out, i feel like i should apply to as many oppotunities as possible. mainly student films for now. do u guys think i am going about this the right way? do you have strategies/hacks on managing your time in between auditions and your day to day life? would love to hear your thoughts. thanks.
Character Demo is finally done, need honest feedback! by FionaAudronVO • last post Sep 18th
So I finally finished my character demo! I don't really consider myself a character actor and prefer to stick with just boring ol' voice over work, but through being on Fiverr and just getting booked for random things I've sort of been pushed more and more towards character acting. Also every once in a while I see a posting here or on twitter that fits my voice and am like "gee I wish I had a character reel to send them for that part". That's all to say that I truly don't know what I'm doing lol I spent the last 1-2 weeks on this and I've wildly oscillated between thinking "I am so proud of this and didn't think I was capable of this" and "this is the cringiest thing I've ever done and this should never see the light of day" so your honest feedback is appreciated. Thanks! [Fiona Audron's Character Demo](https://soundcloud.com/fiona-audron/character-reel/s-wUVUaLO6dP0)

Where to find a coach to help me improve talking voice? by Wubadubudu • last post Sep 17th
I don't really plan to be a voice actor, if anything the closest activity I'd like to try would be casting my favorite games (Starcraft 2 and Rainbow 6). But I really want to hire a voice acting coach or a similar professional to help me improve my talking voice because I always thought I had a bad speaking voice. I feel like I'm annoying to listen to and people say my voice fluctuates a lot. And I don't like the fact that whenever I'm stressed, my voice goes high. Also, some people say I get too intense sometimes and people get the false assumption that I get angry a lot. I really don't get angry but I think people get that impression because of my voice. I want to have a nice sounding voice for conversations and I want to have control over how I talk. Anyone have any advice for me? How do you guys find your coaches, for those of you who partake in the service of those professionals?
Is it a bad idea to get SAG Vouchers from a background job? by Pearlet2 • last post Sep 17th
Hi all, I got asked to do a background job (I have an obscure trait that they need from a few background actors). I would get $ and a SAG Voucher, and this would be my 2nd voucher (earned another in 2019 for a commercial). I don't want to shoot myself in the foot and limit job opportunities in the future, but I also don't know when I will get offered a SAG voucher in the future and don't want to "miss my chance" to get a SAG voucher. Although, not sure if this is even a valid concern. I'm very green, only done commercials and print work until recently. From my understanding, if I get a SAG Voucher, I can only do so many SAG projects until I am a must join. Much like most actresses, I want to eventually get principal roles. So, I don't think it is smart to potentially make myself a must join if I am **not** in a place where I can book principal roles on a SAG-AFTRA project? Would appreciate some insight! ​ TLDR: Is it a bad idea to get SAG Vouchers from a background job?
WeAudition Reader Experience? by underestimatedbutton • last post Sep 17th
Short version: I'm trying to get back on my acting game and feeling extraordinary rusty. I keep hearing about WeAudition and thinking that serving as a reader could help me get back in the swing if connecting with other actors while helping with *their* projects without having to have/coordinate my own. If you've been a reader on WeAudition, what was that process like for you? How involved/"stressful" (for lack of a better word) is it for the reader? How has it helped you (or not, lol) as an actor? Do you feel you've gotten enough value reading for people to make it worth the subscription? Is there anything I should know before I sign up? I know there's the ability to charge/tip, but I'm not really focused on making money from it, beyond maybe getting the subscription to pay for itself ;)
How helpful are book like these for aspiring actors? by throwaway29374765 • last post Sep 17th
I’m mostly referring to the two books below and any similar to them. If they are useful, in what way? And would you say one is better than another? https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/0801481546/ref=ox_sc_act_image_2?smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&psc=1 https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/0896762521/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&psc=1

Booked my First SAG movie and my Scene was cut Venting and using this space to talk to myself by TheSemiSeasonedActor • last post Sep 17th
In the Past 2 years I've booked 3 SAG Feature Films 2 Major Stream Series, and 6 Commercials. I've been incredibly fortunate. I can definitely say I know a thing or two, but I'm not here to act like I'm the shit or pretend I know everything. Cause I don't. I still have a lot to learn. I'm just here to Vent because I know this community understands. This industry really, really, really tries to destroy your self esteem in *many* different ways. Getting rejected on the daily, isn't really that big of a deal anymore. Getting avail checks, First refusal and not getting it doesn't really phase me. but there are some things that become harder and harder to swallow, the further up the ladder I climb. For example, I booked a good part on A Marvel Disney Plus Show. And My line was absorbed the moment I was about to step in front of camera. I had a huge callback session for a HBO series. I received so many compliments from the producer and director, but the role was booked by some other actor WITH THE SAME EXACT NAME! A Feature Netflix Movie I booked with a Star Wars Lead was canned because he stepped down during filming for whatever reason. And Finally, today, The first Feature SAG movie that I booked finally came out in Theatres, and guess what, I didn't make the cut, and it was a good chunk, it was a page of dialogue. I would be lying if I said I didn't feel embarrassed, hurt, pain, insecure and disappointment. My first reaction to why these things happen is that, maybe it's me, maybe I'm not good enough, maybe I suck. But if I really take a step back and put my emotions aside, There's a similar theme with all of these moments. **It's not personal.** Sometimes your line gets absorbed because it doesn't fit the creative flow of what is actually happening between the two leads. And it wouldn't make sense to add your line there anymore. The Lead bails out for whatever reason, that has nothing to do with you and it's not just you who suffers. It's everyone on production, Crew, the Director and Producer who has been writing and planning this out for years. Your part gets cut out because the scene no longer makes sense with the final product of how they want to convey the story. The scene I shot with the lead was so casual and nonchalant that it would diminish and lower the dramatic tension in the final cut of the movie. The actor with the same exact name booking it, that ones probably always going to haunt me, because I will never know if they booked the wrong guy. Anyways, I know It hurts, it stings, we do so much to bend over backwards to get these auditions in, while trying to balance our own life and mental health. Work these really odd jobs to keep our dreams alive, it's kind of difficult to not take these moments personally. and to understand this is all apart of the game, and not everyone's going to have the mental fortitude to survive. So right now, I'm gonna go eat some ice cream, play video games, walk around nature because I need to exercise self love and self care. Not self punishment. because I know, the next audition, and the next big role is coming is coming my way. peace.
Acting for videogames - Will the cinema-theater training work? or maybe I should try something more focalized? by pr00thmatic • last post Sep 17th
I am very new at acting, I haven't done it since high school (but I remember loving it! I am now 30 F yo) I am a game developer generalist (programmer, 3d and 2d artist) and recently re-discovered my love for singing and acting, and I'd like to use it in game development, I am currently going to acting classes, they are reaaaaaally slooooow, but that's all I could find in my country... As I can only use so few time to practice my acting I want to invest the time smartly, but I don't know how to do that! I am learning karate, and trying to do monologues (in spanish, since it's my main language), and I am terrible at it :C I am also reading the book An Actor's Work on a Role by Stanislavsky. Do you get better at doing monologues with the time? is there a smarter way of practicing acting for videogames? (preferably without acting classes, I can't find any and because of the pandemic it's even harder T^T)

Have you ever "faked" your way through a scene? by StudySafe1982 • last post Sep 17th
The actors I know are all self-described method actors; according to them, you have to feel sad to play sad or otherwise the audience will notice. But I'm not so sure that's true. I'm pretty sure there are tons of actors that do not emotionally prepare for their scenes. They go out and say their lines while going through the necessary motions to portray a certain emotion. They don't feel what the character's feeling - their sadness for example - but fake it by changing up their face and intonation in a certain way. For them it's all technical and physical. Do you guys know actors like these? Have you ever done it yourself?
Headshot-Age Range-Character Type Feedback by AutoModerator • last post Sep 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.
Don't ever stop and it's never too late by somefriesmotherucker • last post Sep 16th
I just felt like sharing my acting story because i feel like this might help some of you I'm not where I want to be as an actor but the last few weeks changed a lot for me and I'm nearer to my goal than ever 9 years ago I had the change to act on a real stage in front of real people for the first time, it was so much fun that some part of me immediatly knew that this is what i want to become and what i want to do the rest of my life. A few years and more experiences later i moved to a bigger city but i was too anxious to even try an audition for an acting school. The thing is - i was unhappy. I knew what i want to do but was to afraid to do it. Finally, way to late in my eyes, I tried it. And i failed. I tried again and failed again. I tried 8 times i think, not just in my country, i also went to another country to try it there (I live in Europe). Unfortunatily with no luck. But the timed passed anyway and now i'm in my mid 20s and I always felt like it's way to late for me. Most people start with 20 or even 19 and it's way easier because the schools want young people. Well but i luckily I didn't stop and last Tuesday I got my "Yes" for an acting school in my city. I don't think I realized it yet, but shortly after they told me I'm in i almost collapsed. It's just unreal. What I realized a few months ago is this: i will be an actor, no matter what. The only thing that could change that is me stopping persuing my dream. You know? It will take time but eventually, if i don't stop, i will get where i want to be as an actor. So please, don't stop. Just keep on grinding and find new things about yourself, watch movies, read, go in the theatre if you can and keep in mind that age is just a number (i know I might be relativly young in this subreddit but still) Cheers! PS: [This video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVPxwh2UHOk) helped me so much, such incredible advice.
Anyone have Dyspraxia? by NewsThrowaway151593 • last post Sep 16th
Pretty much the only well-known actor who I can think of that has it is Daniel Radcliffe. If you're not aware of what Dyspraxia is...it's pretty much a disorder that ruins your fine motor skills. Kids with it have terrible handwriting, suck at sports, poor coordination. take longer to learn to tie their shoes, etc. Of course, one crticial component in acting is coordination. Fight scenes or throwing scenes, for instance, may be a significant struggle for dyspraxic folks. I'm pretty sure I'm Dyspraxic as it explains so much about my clumsiness in general and how I can't even play games like beer pong lol. Can any actors on here relate? I feel like this is a career and ambition-ending disorder, given how important movement is in this line of work.
How Does an Agent Deal With a Complicated Schedule? by FurmidableCat • last post Sep 16th
I am thinking of getting an agent after years of being self-represented. I used to get a lot of small roles from being self-represented, but I think I am ready for the next level and have someone submit me for bigger roles and give me feedback on how to be better. However, I already have tons of opportunities as a brand ambassador and host, which are well-payed jobs that I love, but that have a pretty complicated schedule that changes every week. I personally manage to work as an actor while dealing with this schedule that is very flexible, but I am not sure an agent will have the time to do this too. Being a host is as important to me as being an actor. I was thinking of maybe sharing a Google calendar with them so they’ll know if they can book me on something or not. Maybe an agent who also represents hosts will understand? Or maybe you have other ideas? How do you manage your schedule with an agent? If it won’t work for them, I’ll just stay self-represented.

Actors Access Plus Questions. by Iceycat1234 • last post Sep 16th
Hello, I've been searching for an answer, but I couldn't find one. I'm thinking of signing up for actors access plus account, and I'm wondering if the plus account will allow me to upload demo clips for free? I notice I can submit unlimitedly, as well as pictures are free, but I'm wondering what about a demo reel? Can anyone tell me also if the plus is worth the money you pay? ​ \- J
