[PAID WORK] Saints Row (2022) Fan-Dub Project | Sergio (Panteros Gang Leader) by KingOfHearts22 • last post Apr 29th
CASTING CALL: Saints Row (2022) Fan-Dub Project PLATFORM: YouTube ROLE: Sergio (Panteros Gang Leader) GENDER REPRESENTATION: Male PAY: 100 USD in full, however since this is a fan project done on free time for almost everyone, we pay in parts and what we work on at that time. Any payment will be given before any work is started! If you take this role starting payment will be 25 USD SUMMARY: Sergio may be a big ass mother fucker, but damn he whips up a good “Sopa De Fideo”. The uncle to Neenah, he’d taken her under his wing after the unfortunate passing of his brother. Neenah being the lost and young teen she was, joined up with Sergio and his Los Panteros. In fact Sergio was just the role model she needed to get her act together. A hard working loyal man, who always put his family first. And after the former leader of the Los Panteros was murdered, Sergio stepped up. Soon the Los Panteros was his family, and with Neenah by his side they were destined to run the criminal world of Santo Ileso. However ever since Johnny and “The Saints” came into the picture, things haven’t been the same for old Sergio. And if there was one thing Sergio preached, it’s that you never turn your back on family, never. Ideally we’re looking for someone with a manly gruff Mexican flair or accent to their voice. If you’d like to see how the original voice actor portrayed the character, please feel free to YouTube any cutscenes with his character. We are not looking for an exact match at all, so please feel free to send any voice demo or request a script to read off for the audition if you feel like you are capable for the role!

[PAID WORK] Saints Row (2022) Fan-Dub Project | Gwen (Marshall Private Military Captain) by KingOfHearts22 • last post Apr 29th
CASTING CALL: Saints Row (2022) Fan-Dub Project PLATFORM: YouTube ROLE: Gwen (Marshall Private Military Captain) GENDER REPRESENTATION: Female PAY: 200 USD in full, however since this is a fan project done on free time for almost everyone, we pay in parts and what we work on at that time. Any payment will be given before any work is started! If you take this role starting payment will be 60 USD SUMMARY: You either do as you're told, or you're no use to this Captain. Gwen being the former Sergeant that led the platoon Johnny was under while he worked for Marshall Defense Industries. Death is unacceptable to Gwen, no good men will fall under her watch. At least that’s her goal, but seemingly the unmeasurable task of making sure another’s child makes it back home safe weighs on Gwen’s conscience more than most in her field of work. She’s always carried a motherly demeanor with her, despite how tough the woman usually is. You gotta ask yourself why she’s so concerned with the lives of her soldiers in the first place, when most would see them as collateral… If you’d like to see how the original voice actress portrayed the character, please feel free to YouTube any cutscenes with her character. We are not looking for an exact match at all, so please feel free to send any voice demo or request a script to read off for the audition if you feel like you are capable for the role!

Audition material makes no sense by Prestigious-Dark-341 • last post Apr 29th
hey all -- i'm a struggling actor, trying to make it (and by it i mean just get whatever jobs i can find, really) and recently i've been shortlisted for an audition for an original, site specific play. the only problem is, i have genuinely no idea what the audition material is saying. it's not a monologue, written in the "you" pronoun, and i'm just at a loss. i've been reading this material over and over, and i can't seem to understand it. i've emailed the company but they're telling me to just "follow" my creativity. any advice? should i give this work a pass? here is the text i have to memorise and perform, word for word: **With a nat 20, they splashes themselves with cola and the pop rocks of their body (yells, boom) and this aura of flame forms around them, The leaves of the peppermint trees catch fire, as they rage, they level their hammer and go for this guy’s head, he swings out of the way just in time for Dippins to clip his jaw, he is knocked down. As his jaw goes slack on his head you and Dippins smell a stench of stinking cheese.**
I just started working with an agency in LA that was listed on that guy TruthTeller's top agents in LA list.... I'm wondering what to expect? by anonactor123 • last post Apr 29th
does anybody remember that backstage user TruthTeller that used to make lists of the top agents in LA, top acting school, etc.etc. well he had 6 tiers for agencies in LA and I just started working with one in the 4th tier and I'm excited because it's (seemingly) a huge step up for me. I've have reps in NYC & ATL and mainly tape at co-star level, sometimes guest star, once in a blue moon something wildly huge. my reps are all very low level. I've read for about 80% of the CDs in ATL & NYC, in the rotation for many, 6/7/8/9/10 tapes for a bunch. I'm at like 187 tapes for tv/film in the last 2 1/2 years, lots and lots of repeats and like 9 pins. however this new agent in LA is a step up from all my agents so far, and I'm new to LA, so I'm hoping I will start getting into more LA rooms and perhaps for bigger things in addition to the rooms I already tape for some what frequently for cds in NYC & ATL. right now my tape frequency has mostly fallen to shit because of the strike and everything, but before that I average 1-2 tapes a week for co-star and above. Hoping the addition of this new better LA agent will increase that since now I'm being submitted to LA CDs more as opposed to primarily NYC & ATL. can anybody speak to what it's like to "level up" with a new, seemingly better agent like this? this agency has been around for like over 30 years and has had a lot of series regulars over the years as well as some super iconic actors when they were earlier in their careers.
Brazilian Actor by Oscar Calixto • last post Apr 28th
Hello everyone!
My wife has an absolutely uncanny ability to identify voice actors by queenofcheeses • last post Apr 28th
My wife enjoys a lot of animation fromany different genres and media, and she has this crazy ear for voices that just blows my mind. She has literally identified voice actors from single words, and, even more impressively, screams/grunts/other non-verbal noises. It's absolutely insane and to me it seems like a superpower. Is there anything she can do with this?? I know this is a weird question, but I didn't know what other community to ask!

How To Find Friends/Readers To Help With Auditions by bmwyeah • last post Apr 28th
Hey all, Newer actor here, taken a few acting classes and gotten in a few student films. My biggest hurdle to auditioning is having another person to read lines during a self-tape. I have done a few where I record the other lines, then play the recording while I am taping my character, but the timing is usually a little off and they can probably tell it's my voice for both characters in the scene. I recently moved to a quiet rural town for work, and making friends has been very difficult. Everyone here already knows everyone else cuz they grew up here and aren't looking to make new friends. My old friends aren't interested in filmmaking whatsoever, so I feel weird asking them to help. How can I find other actors/film makers near me, or find actors online and we can trade off reading for each other's auditions?
Commercial Acting Class Recommendations Plus getting a commercial agent advice by ambitiouspikachu • last post Apr 28th
Hey all, Going to start commercial acting unrepped soon. I only have money for one commercial acting class. I've narrowed down a few. ​ 1. Killian's Commercial Acting Class- This one I've heard the most and got the most recommendations. I know a person who got an agent at the end. 2. The Commercial Class with Alyson Horn. 3. Hey I saw your Commercial 4. Allyson Horn Casting I was tempted to do Killian's as I'm paralyzed by decison analysis and it seems like the class where I could be seen by agents after the class, but I wanted other peoples opinions. ​ Also I have decision paralysis about getting a commercial agent as well. I've talked to a few actors in Los Angeles and they've told me they've gotten results through sending their packages through 1. Actor's Access- 1 friend got a commercial agent. 2. LA Casting- 1 guy got a film/tv agent and got co star roles on CSI. 3. Repunzel- (formerly Agent Blasters) My friend got it based on just a standup comedy reel and headshots. And he's had success in booking a major commercial. I'm leaning towards Repunzel as I have a light resume, but a killer standup comedy reel and decent headshots, but it's expensive. Unless I do the commercial acting package only ($97) and not the film/tv and commercial acting package. ($167) Or maybe I should just do all three services and consider it an investment. I guess I just need more advice but I'm going to submit starting next week. Advice please? :)
How does one give voice direction? by NatorGreen7000 • last post Apr 28th
Sometimes the voice actor will ABC a line and I always ask them to record an audition line instead of just sending me some previous work. Twice I sent a powerpoint with the full script next to a panel from the animation in addition to just a script with there lines for context but for full season that doesn't make sense. I can't give someone 260 page powerpoint.
How does one achieve GREAT acting? by Gaivnion • last post Apr 28th
I know acting isn't "acting." Acting is doing; its behaving. I think I act realistically, but how do I make it great. Is it all in just the practice. The more I do, the more I get better sort of thing. I've read the books by Constantine, Adler, Meisner, and Strasberg. I have analyzed Brando. I've watched Michael Caine's masterclass. Nothing has really been ground breaking to me. Then certain actors will kinda do a 180 and say, "I just am" or "There's not a process for it." I heard similar from Bill Nighy. Is it easier for older actors to give such a performance? Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Bill Nighy. Old and great, of course they were good when they were young too. I presume; don't know bout Freeman lol. It's been a while since I watched someone young who was star studded. Been a while since I've seen such a great performance in general to be honest. Leonardo Dicaprio was a star studded fantastic actor even as a young guy. Will it take me years to achieve greatness in acting. My favorite acting teacher that I watch on YouTube is John Windsor-Cunningham. He has said that he has only seen two great instances of acting. I simply don't know how to become as good as them. Continue acting? More reading?
Would it be more beneficial to join an acting class/school or just jump straight in. by SkylarDeLaCruz • last post Apr 28th
I recently appeared in a short film by chance and greatly enjoyed it more than I thought I would, now I want to get into acting for more or less the fun of it since it was such an enjoyable experience. I’m just wondering if it would be better to join an acting class or try and land roles already. My experience is 1. I appeared in a film when I was 8 years old(small role) 2. 3 years of theatre arts classes in middle school.(monologues, improv etc) 3. Appeared in a small short film this year Despite all this I don’t feel like a good actor, I’ve only played small roles and can’t cry on command or anything cool like that, so I’m wondering if it would be better to take classes to try and get better at the craft. Or do you not need too much experience/education to get started already? I’m not planning on being the next Sarah Hyland or anything, just find the experience fun.
How Pending Writers Guild Strike Could Impact Talent by Matthew Gross • last post Apr 27th
Below is a link to the Vox article regarding the pending WGA strike which is most likely to take effect May 3rd. SAG-AFTRA and DGA are going to renegotiate contracts in June; therefore, this could be a nationwide mega-strike. Plan accordingly!
Headshot-Age Range-Character Type Feedback by AutoModerator • last post Apr 27th
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.
Actors, how do you cope with the fact that most of us will probably be stuck working a job we don’t exactly love but pays the bills for the rest of the life while we never get good high profile parts as actors? by Big-Comfortable8462 • last post Apr 27th
I’m not talking about “making it” but as in most of won’t do any acting work that’s actually watched by a lot of people or it’s something that people will care about. *your life. Correction to question
What questions do YOU have for working actors?? For my podcast "Actors With Issues" by iJuanAyala • last post Apr 27th
I've produced and hosted my podcast [Actors With Issues](https://YouTube.com/actorswithissuespodcast) for almost 3 years and I've gotten to interview nearly 200 actors, from Broadway stars and established names in TV and film, to rising stars who just booked their first major roles. What do YOU want me to ask them? Guests come on the show an open book and ready to discuss pretty much anything. We talk about everything from audition anxiety and imposter syndrome to what they don't teach you in acting school and the biggest lessons they've learned onset/onstage. Thanks in advance! Please check out the show, everyone shares such great stories and insight from their careers. There's something to takeaway from every interview!
Enhancing Scene Study for Actors through Technology: A Research Exploration by KKKKS-2162 • last post Apr 27th
Hello! I am Alexander Shen, a design student in SCAD, a junior product designer developing an AI-powered mobile app for actors. An amusing teamwork between my girlfriend and me inspired this project. My girlfriend, a passionate actress, often ropes me into being her scene study partner for casting calls and other acting rehearsals. I'd like to think I've got some hidden acting talent, but let's be honest – I'm not always living up to her expectations. Sometimes I feel like I'm just getting in the way instead of helping. As a product designer, there had to be a way for me to lend a hand to my lovely girlfriend and other actors out there. That's when I stumbled upon a video of Elon Musk using the MagicMic AI voice changer to imitate Morgan Freeman's iconic voice. It was mind-blowingly good, and I thought, "Hey, why not use AI tech to support actors and film professionals?" And that's how we got here! With your help and insights, we're looking to discover more ways AI can make life easier for actors, film industry folks, and people like me who get roped into being scene study partners:) **The app aims to revolutionize the scene study process by providing actors with a virtual partner or something that can adapt, respond, and offer real-time feedback.** This survey aims to gather feedback and insights from actors, acting coaches, and theatre professionals to inform the app's design, features, and functionality. Your input will help us create an app that caters to the needs and preferences of the acting and performance arts community. Your responses will be used for academic research, and the survey will take 3 minutes to complete. I would appreciate it if you shared this information with family, friends, and other groups with experience.

Is the industry slow in Texas ? Asking for a friend by Proof-Pollution454 • last post Apr 27th
Hello I wanted to ask any fellow actors located in Texas if the industry was slow there
Almost a high school senior, I need advice on how to get over a limiting belief by blackpink_fan101 • last post Apr 27th
I'm a high school senior next year. I've wanted to be an actor since I was like ten, never got to try it until I was 13. I did my first acting class and did theatre throughout high school and well let's just say I got the acting bug. I love it. I love becoming characters and collaborating with talented actors in scenes and performing and breaking down scripts and everything. And I really want it as my career. I'm just nervous about senior year because it's my final year in high school theatre (and regional youth theatres) and then after that I have no clear path. I'm scared because I want to be a professional actor so badly, I don't care about being famous I just want consistent enough work in TV movies and theatre. I don't expect anything consistent for the first few years, and I know that it will take a long time before I get consistent enough work for bigger roles (aka guest star, recurring, or series regular; lead and supporting) and even when I reach that point it won't always be consistent. I'm aware of all that and I still want it. I have goals but I know they might not be reached in the way I imagine at all and that's okay. I'm ready to take on these challenges. But I'm still terrified. What my brain has done is it's trying to give me a deadline. It's trying to say I only have like 4 years to make it and I hate that. 4 years is nothing! I won't achieve anything. I'm not doing this career for four years. I want at least like 30 years or something. I mean c'mon, I've seen hundreds of non-famous acting careers they're all like 28 years minimum. I want to stick with thi slong-term because I love it and you never stop learning and improving which I love, and also there are so many ambitious (but not fame or money related) acting goals that I have, which include but aren't limited to: * acting on multi-cam sitcoms * booking a Shonda Rhimes (or any other top writer) show * booking a lot of recurring or guest star roles that are unique and out of the box * be in some of my favorite musicals These are just few of many and as you can see they are goals that will take a long time to achieve and even when I do they're goals that happen more than once if you know what I mean. Over time as I do more gigs and I figure out what kind of genres and roles I like I'll be more specific but for now this is what I have. Any reassurance/advice on how to get over the limiting belief of time and how I can focus on my goals because I can't get excited or focus on these important things when I am haunted by a limiting belief. Also if you have any good advice on what I should do right after high school is good (I plan on going to college to major in screenwriting because I also want to be a screenwriter someday)
