So I feel im going to get scrutinized for this but, if i were to listen to a specific voice actors voice or character voice for an extended period of time whether asleep or while doing other things, would i sub consciously start picking up tips on how to imitate that voice or is that just a myth that is a lie? I am sorry if this is a stupid question i am just curious
I've always been fascinated with how actors sort of become their characters. That is what I first fell in love with about films. So I wanted to be an actor. So far though I've never been on set(because I either didn't get the part or if I did I couldn't go due to far location) or gone to acting classes(hardly any in my country). The only acting experience I have is auditions and my private monologue recordings in my room. So my question is, are those two things enough to know whether acting is what I like? Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think they are because auditions are more like tasks and monologue is like quarter of the full experience of an actor. So is auditions and my private monologue recordings in my room enough to know whether I like acting? And if they are not then what would make me know? Acting on set? Acting classes?

We had our semi annual Union Meeting via Zoom, this week, and announced some major 'gains' in our Master working agreements with Producers. All good news. However, the frustrating thought that has been trying to 'get out' over the last few months - that I thought was Pandemic Blues - finally shouted loud enough to be heard during our Zoom get together. My main aim is NOT to be 'part of the movie business'. Our city is a major filming hub. Right now there are over 20 Movie/TV/New Media projects filming. There are thousands of people and millions of dollars involved in the 'industry' and from the acting point of view, many people are trying everything they can to be part of it: Stand In work, Background work, Day Player, etc. As a Union we are in a multi-year fight with Commercial Producers across the country (and U.S. Commercial Producers filming up here. ) to go Union. However, to me, these great opportunities are not 'a match'. They are not what I would call 'Acting' in the way that I was trained to do it. I was trained as a Theatre actor in the U.K., so my view is different, from others. Yesterday I had another self-tape audition for a US MOW. It was awful - even as I was recording it, I didn't believe a single word of what I saying: It was a fairy tale with unreal people talking absolute nonsense. I want to act: This means inventing and working on complete, complex character creation with a group of other professionals over a multi-week period, then presenting it to others in order to explore hidden corners of the Human Experience and show them to people. You know.....acting. Day playing, or 'one line, one scene' characters in Movies and TV episodes don't do it. Over 90% of Movie and TV presentations you see don't fulfill this wish list. In fact, there's only about 20 people that you can actually name doing this for a living, continuously, in Movies, in this city. However, no-one goes to the live Theatre. It ranks alongside Symphony, Ballet and Art: Highbrow activities for the wealthy that couldn't survive without Private and Public funding. So, where to go to 'act' ? Or 'Is it Just Me' ?
I live in Seattle, WA and it’s super close to Vancouver BC which I hear is a good place to get my foot in the door according to my mom. I also visit family a lot on my reservation near Toronto Ontario Canada, I hear that place has great opportunities for actors and actress’s. California/Hollywood really is out of the question I just don’t have anybody down there to help me get around the city compared to the previous city’s I named. Definitely later down the line. But yeah if you guys could please offer some suggestions in which city you think is the best for a 24 year old Native American actor to pursue this career path. Thank you

Hello there! I’m new to the voice acting world and i’m looking for a platform where I can find voice actors. I don’t know if they are categorised spaces? Which platform is the best for finding voice actors? Do you have platforms for beginners?
Hello, I'm working on a short 2-3 minute video, and need a voiceover of someone with a deep voice. I want someone with a voice that's very masculine, potentially older, and be a perfect fit for this small project/documentary video. I'm willing to pay for your services. Please DM me and in your message, include a list of your previous work so I can listen. Thank you so much!
Hey Everyone, So I was just curious if anyone had any advice on how to make/build a resume revolved around acting/Voice acting. I'm completely new to the Voice Over field but it's something that I would really love to do, and I have acting experience already. I haven't done any major things out of Highschool and College but it is experience that I have, not to mention professors who have had their own classes or have pretty high degrees and have been in the acting field for a long while. I generally try to look at other resume's from voice actors websites and most of their things are very professional because they have had more experience. Do you all think it's okay for me to put the Highschool and College experience that I have onto a resume while I'm new and looking for other opportunities? Eventually I do plan to take on more professional classes and do auditions but until I have that kind of experience I'm not sure where to start on a resume. Thank you!
This has always held me back in trying to become a voice actor. I am from Trinidad and Tobago and don't think there's much work needed for such a specific accent. Therefore what would be your advise when it comes trying to get into voice acting? Would it be smarter to perfect a more American / English voice over "voice"?
[https://51u7h2pr.optimalworkshop.com/optimalsort/s2rbbfqk](https://51u7h2pr.optimalworkshop.com/optimalsort/s2rbbfqk) For a design school project I plan to make an app that will try to help artists, animators, content creators, voice actors, actors, etc. to connect and create bigger as they come together. It's some kind of an online studio, at home/ on hand. I guess. what do you think? will it work?
Hey, everyone. I'm an independent film producer and today, Saturday, April 25th, I'll be doing an AMA. Here's a bit of background: As a kid, I was interested in becoming an actor. I took classes and ended up doing some voiceover work but soon realized I wanted to be more of a behind the scenes type. I wanted to realize *my vision* rather than *help others to realize their*s. I started out by literally sneaking onto the Universal Lot after reading that Spielberg had done that in the late 60s, and I got my first ever job as a P.A. on an Amblin series. From there I spent a few years in production before moving to personal assisting where I got to work closely with such actors as Ben Stiller, Courteney Cox, Jack Black, and Christopher Walken. Next I moved into working for directors and learned everything from development through to press junkets and the release of a film under filmmakers like Judd Apatow, Peter Hedges, and Joe Wright and during that time, was able to dust off my voiceover skills and got to join SAG-AFTRA! I started producing shortly after that and never looked back. I am an IFP-Gotham Award-winning filmmaker, a member of the Producers Guild of America, and have had three feature films released. In addition to that, I've written for publications like Filmmaker and Moviemaker Magazines, taught at a number of film schools around the globe (and through online courses with [Stage32). I've also produced commercials, music videos, and a live event for the Obama White House. One of my favorite parts of the filmmaking process is casting. I truly love and respect actors and I've had the opportunity to watch and learn from some of the best so I thought it would be interesting to offer an AMA to actors of all levels from an indie producers perspective. So. If that would be interesting to you, come back to the r/acting page later today at 12pm PST/3pm EST/9pm CET and let's dive in! Thanks for reading and I look forward to chatting with anyone who's interested! (One last thing: I have opted to remain anonymous for a variety of reasons, not least of which is so that I don’t end up receiving tons of emails with headshots or from people asking me to look at reels - I always use a casting director so that’s who you ought to submit to anyway. All of that said, the moderator here has verified me and my credits so I’m hoping that will make everyone feel comfortable).
Hi guys, please remove if not allowed, I know how hard the industry has been after the three lockdowns, so I thought I’d try and do my bit to help. I’m a London based photographer, I would like to offer free headshots to anyone looking to refresh their portfolio/spotlight. No strings attached! Drop a comment below if you’re interested, and I’d be more than happy to send over my portfolio.
