Similarities between martial arts and acting arts by AJDon82 • last post Apr 26th
The similarities between practicing martial arts and practicing the art of acting never cease to amaze me. Take this quote (unlikely to have actually been from Bruce Lee but still very relevant.) It can be applied word for word to our study and implementation of acting technique. There are so many schools of acting, and just like the various schools of martial arts, many contain valuable techniques and insights, but perhaps not everything will be applicable to each practitioner. Therefore, we as performers need to study widely, and find what works best for us as individuals, based on our own needs and the situation (script) at hand. Similarly, not everything we learn will be relevant or indeed work for us. One vital skill for actors (as it is for martial artists) is to identify what is working and what will hold us back, and discard the latter. Finally, the most special and important aspect of art - what is unique about us as artists and how we can manifest that in what we do. In martial arts, we start (in the classical styles) by learning patterns and then eventually move on to how to apply those techniques But along the way, the discerning artist will bring part of the themselves into those techniques and adapt them into something that is truly their own. And that's what the most successful and stand out actors do. They don't simply read the lines they are given, but inject the words and scenes with something different, something of their own experiences and souls, that lets you feel that performance, that moment, and lets you remember it for a very long time. The uniqueness that the best of the best bring is rare, but it's what any artist should be aiming for, no matter who their audience is.
Denver actors: is it possible to have be a full-time actor in Denver or other similar markets? by Less_Ad_7881 • last post Apr 26th
I’m discussing moving here from another area and have already done some research and had some suggestions on good studios for classes and agencies to apply to. My question is just that: best case scenario, is it possible to make it full-time as an actor these types of markets, or would I be destined to only finding sparing, low low budget projects and school shorts or need to move again?
How can I improve my ability to talk for long times without my voice feeling terrible afterwards and being exhausted? by niclaswwe • last post Apr 26th
I am unsure if this is the exact sub for this type of question, but my guess is that Voice Actors have experience with this topic. Basically, when recording long audio sections for my videos, I always end up quickly losing power and stability in my voice, while generally getting heavily exhausted in the process, beyond the voice. What can I do to improve this? Take more breaks? Specific training? It feels really bad knowing that I will be extremely tired after just around a 20 minute recording.

Let's not complain by love_acting99 • last post Apr 26th
\*note\* This is not judgmental, aggressive, or ranting, I am merely trying to be optimistic and bring something to our attention I've seen some people complain about film/TV work sometimes. Guys, I know it's more technical than stage acting (and theatre is wonderful), but at the end of the day it's still acting. We're still doing what we love. We love telling stories and playing characters that intrigue us, and that part doesn't change across any medium. And film/TV can be just as creatively fulfilling, especially with a lot of the *amazing* writing in TV I've seen these (I'm also an aspiring screenwriter so I'm picky with this stuff but there is a LOT of good writing in many series these days) And the indie film industry is super good too! And yes, waiting around is a part of the job, but a lot of the times if it's a good day we're filming at a faster pace on the film or TV show we're currently working on and/or we have more to do that day in general. Also, film/TV provides us with an opportunity to tackle new things every day. Is it hard to film out of order? Hell yeah, but there are techniques that can help us stay present even when doing so. And a lot of times in TV you go through one audition process for a role that appears in many episodes (whether it was written that way or you were added in more because they liked you!!) My point is, yes theatre is wonderful, yes we have more control as actors, and yes it's where I got my start, and yes I absolutely love it, but we don't have to look down on film/TV. In fact I hate it when people do. Film and TV can be just as exciting. They each have their pros and cons, and we need to acknowledge that. Just try to be positive. You're not going to hate every single experience you have in any medium, but you're not going to love every single one either but that's normal guys. Each experience you have is different and that's what's beautiful.

Anyone heard of VOICES.AI a subsidiary of VOICES.COM ? Is this a wind up by VOICEOVERVANDEEN • last post Apr 25th
Have you heard about voices.ai ? A newly formed subsidiary of voices.com ? This has got to be a wind up right??? a miss timed April fools joke? Because with blog posts like this I don't think they have our best interests at heart, no mention of ethics, or copyright, or rights etc....

Gather Data Find text or audio samples that use simple language, like children’s books or transcripts of conversations at a grade school level. This data will teach the AI how to speak in a similar style. Gather a large dataset containing text or audio samples relevant to your target language style and domain. This dataset may include transcriptions, dialogues, or other text/audio content. For an AI voice, you’ll need both text and corresponding audio data. Preprocess the data by cleaning it, removing noise, and converting it into a suitable format for the AI model.

Question( Might be stupid) by DAVini13 • last post Apr 25th
Keep in mid that I'm young and just curios about the acting world(bc I want to be an actor). I want be an actor like on screen stuff but also a voice actors. I watch videos on YouTube about how to be a voice actor but in the videos they talk about Indie games , commercials and audio books(not saying I dont like that type of jobs) but I just curios abbot how do I get auditions for big names company like Ubisoft or Supermassive . I get that you have to work to get to that level but if you get to that level to you just get the auditions or is there something else you have to due. Also how do on screen actors get voice acting roles. For example Paul Zinno. He is not a famous actor or anything like that but I saw him in a game called The Dark Pictures Anthology : House of Ashes and his voice acting was so good after looking at his IMDB he mainly dose on screen stuff( he did due a few dubbing jobs tho) so dose he have a separate voice acting agent besides his on screen agent? Sorry if I sound stupid( I probably due ) but again I am new to studying acting/voice acting so pls don't get mad at me

Looking to network with NYC based actors of all levels by bboyneko • last post Apr 25th
Looking to meetup and run scenes with other aspiring actors. Hi guys, I'm a SAG-AFTRA actor who used to act and audition a lot when he was way younger, abandoned it all to focus on a tech career, then got inspired to jump back in after the pandemic. I'm currently in Long Island City. Basically I'd love to network with other actors of all levels who want to run scenes, polish monologues, read for each other etc. I'm currently taking courses at Russell Acting Studio in Manhattan. I also am super into craft beer and video games.
What to do by gottablastislost • last post Apr 25th
I am a 16 year old boy who is in love with acting and movies in general. It is my dream to be an actor, but I live in a very small town in Texas that has no auditions, agencies, or really any market for acting in general. This fact bothers me daily, and I was wondering if there is anything I can do to still pursue my dream despite this. ​ I live about an hour and 45 minutes away from dallas

MFA Program Decision by Willing_Ad7941 • last post Apr 25th
I was accepted to the Actors Studio Drama School at Pace for the fall but tuition is so expensive. Even with a decent scholarship I will still pay $35k before cost of living per year. Looking for anyone’s advice if it is worth it to go. Any insights on the program or if it’s worth it to live in NYC. I auditioned for URTAs on a whim this year while I was finishing my undergrad (BFA MT performance) and got accepted to more schools than I expected. I would be curious if auditioning again and for more schools next year would be worth it but I’m afraid to pass up this opportunity. Also any thoughts about the program specifically. I see it listed as a top school on some websites but on others it seems overhyped. They also claim a lot of alumni that went to ASDS when it was at NYU (pre 2006) but don’t seem to highlight their more recent alum. What’s the deal?
Agents? by Wolfjflywheel- • last post Apr 25th
Soooo ever since I got the lead in a play in 5th grade I have been acting in plays and obsessed. I have a degree in Sociology and I just hate social work. I live in Hawaii and the agents and agencies here are pretty horrible. I never tried to be a film actor but honestly I think it’s the only thing I can do. I have no idea how to start and want one based in LA which I heard isn’t unheard of when you live in Hawaii or other places. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. Please help I actually wanna try but just never knew how too and honestly don’t think I can do anything else.
