Gig by Stevie_B_D_HILLS007  •  last post Dec 1st

Hey y'all! I'm a ghost writer and a stand-up comedian (5 years), in these times I've lost the ability to work material out on stage. Which has lead me to write a comedy podcast. SO I NEED VOICE ACTORS! I have commercials about tactical dildos and guard cats. Or fake news like: Jesus and Satan are the leaders of: the Gay New World. If you want to read a script lmk, if you vibe well with a script- (I can write for a lot of characters) I can pay up to $75 a month for 30sec to 5min of voice work. I'm new to this so I apologize if the offer is insulting. I just want to support and grow with fellow artists. Hope to hear from you soon!

Ensemble vs Individual Recording? by GoldFire33  •  last post Dec 1st

My studio is working on a game project that will have extensive voiceover work. We are in the early stages of planning our approach to the voiceover, and one thing that has come up is if we should do ensemble or individual recording. Our cast is mainly 2 characters, so ensemble would be feasible from a logistics perspective. I also feel like it would be reasonable to assume we'd get better and more natural performances with the actors being able to play off each other in ensemble. However, I also suspect that ensemble is going to be pushing it in terms of budget. At best, it won't leave any breathing room, which could make things difficult for an indie project. Are these assumptions accurate? If so, is ensemble that much better that it is worth nearly doubling the budget for (though, maybe I'm overlooking something in my estimates)? Anyone have any thoughts or experience on this front?

SAG Short Film by NyersActor2010  •  last post Dec 1st

Hey All! Myself and some actor friends are all in SAG, and we came up with an idea for a short film and are eager to shoot it. Is it worth it/necessary to go through all of the SAG paperwork? My friends are all on board with just hiring a crew and shooting it non-union style, but since I'm a newer SAG member and haven't done something like this before I wanted to be sure it was safe to do so.

Actors Access sign up not working by Sabawoonoz25  •  last post Dec 1st

I have put in over 100 emails for it to register but every single time it says that the email is invalid, how do I fix this?

Advice? 1. It was down to me and another actress for series regular on a major tv show reboot found out they went with her. 2. On hold for a project with a major movie star known for his temper and I am terrified. by CuspChaser111  •  last post Dec 1st

1. was my first hold for series regular so i guess that's something but yes i am disappointed but i am also happy cd knows my work now and trusts me and they know my name for next time(s) - hopefully. my last role was a guest star on another show. but man sucks to go into holidays knowing that i didn't get it! 2. now i am one of the finalists for a project with a movie star known for his temper/dick-ish behavior (lol no it's not james franco but in that range) and i am TERRIFIED bc i respect this person's work a LOT but if I book it i am gonna be a nervous wreck! This star will also be directing it (so obviously he has already seen my tape) and again i respect his work so i am like uhh

Practice? by Flamephoenix109  •  last post Dec 1st

This is a question I’m sure many other actors have, especially during COVID. How can someone best practice acting on their own? I’m not really looking for small little exercises to do each day, though those would be helpful too. Mainly, I’m looking for a loose blueprint to follow where you can stick with a daily plan that allows you practice acting alone. This isn’t an easy question I know, so for any experienced actors on here, your feedback/suggestions/personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Voiceover Casting Call for RPG Game In Development by Frictionite_Studios  •  last post Dec 1st

Thank you, readers, for taking the time to read this post- My name is Delta Hawkins, I am the co-owner of Frictionite Studios and creator of an upcoming episodic RPG game titled "Lupus Ex Machina". Lupus Ex Machina is 4 parts long, one part being a free to play prologue that's set to launch some time next year, while the other 3 parts will be purchased separately as they are completed and released for PC on Steam. With that said, while the engine for Lupus Ex Machina is complete, as well as maps and even cutscenes; the only real thing that was planned since the beginning is voice acting for each of the characters. The prologue features 3 main characters, a small supporting cast, and a few NPCs here and there that only require actors because they're in the background during a fully animated cutscene. \[Protagonists\] Tyler Jack Norman - (LAST CALL) - 16 years old, Male, Spaniard/Scottish-American, Hacker-for-hire, Wily and crazy, but also presently fatigued and done with life. Personality Reference: SuperButterBuns (Youtuber) Nathaniel Concerto Thompson - (LAST CALL) - 15 years old, Male, European-American, Former theater kid, son of a rich televangelist, sassy in nature, but also lacking in empathy at times. Tyler's best friend. Personality Reference: Matthew MacDell (Big Mouth) Damien Dao Mai - (OPEN) - 17 years old, Chinese/Italian-American, Son to a notorious mafia don, cold and quiet in nature, often acting in a cruel and apathetic way towards his enemies, but has a soft side for the few people he does care about. Adoptive cousin to Nate, Frenemies with Tyler. (Not supposed to make an appearance till after the Prologue, so casting for this character can wait.) Personality Reference: Silver (Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal) Thor - (LAST CALL) - Tyler's Childhood Dog, Unshakably virtuous, Constantly hungry, and uses a technologically augmented piece of headgear to speak with other characters; to which has a male pre-teen like voice with a childlike, innocent tone. Thor's voice does have a mechanical and almost metallic filter to further relay that his voice is coming from Thor's headgear and not from Thor himself. This filter will be applied in editing, and should not be submitted pre-rendered with audition audio. Personality Reference: Guilmon (Digimon Tamers) \[Supporting Cast / NPCs (Prologue)\] Saoirse Norman - (TAKEN) - 39 years old, Female, Ex-Military, Has a minor scottish accent, flips between a motherly and sweet disposition and a gruff drill-sergeant like barking tone. Oh yeah, and her name is pronounced Seer-Shuh. Christian Rallentando Thompson - (LAST CALL) - 37 years old, Male, Popular televangelist and owner of a small franchise of music stores, actually a little submissive in a social setting but greatly protective of his son Nate, has an irrational prejudice against cyborgs. Icarus - (TAKEN) - Unknown age, Male, Gruff, commanding adult voice, serves as Commander of the Androsuitor Armada. Appears in 1 scene in the prologue, and doesn't about halfway through the game. Background roles - Police officers 1-5 (OPEN), Pizza Parlor Clerk (OPEN), Female News Anchor (LAST CALL), Chief of Police (OPEN), Reporter in crowd (OPEN) \[Budgeting and Payment\] Currently, there is no budget for this project. Not even a Kickstarter. However, for the longer term roles, since the later episodes of Lupus Ex Machina are paid products- Profits made from each quarter can be divided and distributed based on the workload of each person involved. This means that background roles usually receive smaller cuts each quarter whereas recurring roles and plot heavy roles receive larger payments from each quarter as they do more for the project itself. As far as making money off of being a voice actor for Lupus Ex Machina, treat this as a volunteer-only gig for now. If not for the project, do it for your demo reels so you can land better gigs with upfront budgets, but the choice is entirely yours. I figured it'd be better to be honest than to sugarcoat this casting call and end up sounding pretentious and having unpaid actors on my hands. \[Contact Information and Auditioning\] For auditions, please send either your demo reel or a pre-recorded audition of a few lines from the script provided below (recommended and preferred) for the character of your choice, as well as any questions or concerns to my email: [Deltahawkins8465@gmail.com](mailto:Deltahawkins8465@gmail.com) \[Script for Lupus Ex Machina's prologue\] [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HEUOv7wn\_H9Hz6wdTP1h8Rtff-vy8sp0/view?usp=sharing](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HEUOv7wn_H9Hz6wdTP1h8Rtff-vy8sp0/view?usp=sharing) \[Additional Notes as of 12/1/2020 at 1:04PM\] \-Tyler doesn't have an accent, he's american born and raised. \-Nate has a sassy/sarcastic tone, his \*mother\* has the european accent. \-Any effects or filters are added to the recordings by me, so don't worry about those. \-Tyler, Nate, and Damien are \*teenagers\*; adult voices won't fit with them. \-PLEASE BE ABLE TO YELL OR BE LOUD \-Good audio quality with minimal to no background noise is highly preferred. \-The script seems to have an editing mix-up on one of Tyler's lines. Feel free to ad-lib it or simply contact me via my email about how the line is supposed to read. \-DON'T ONLY READ YOUR CHARACTER'S LINES, read through the whole script to get a better understanding of how to voice these character. \-The 'Personality References' listed under each main protagonist is meant for their personality and inflection only, not their voices.

Submitting to agencies this late in the year? by AnxiousAudience6  •  last post Nov 30th

Aloha guys. This post is pretty random and filled with a few questions lol I’m thinking of taking the next step on my journey to becoming an actor and applying to some agencies(in Toronto) but Im a little nervous. I have some experience(2 students films, 2 music videos and a year and a half of acting classes) but my resume looks a little bland. *Side Note*- Can music videos go on my resume even though I didn’t have any lines and if so, what header would I put it under? Do you guys have any recommendations of agencies I should apply to in Toronto? I heard Amanda Rosenthal is good but I’m not sure if I should apply to her cause I don’t have that much experience.Also do you think it’s a good time to apply to agencies(November-December) or should I wait a little bit longer? Lastly, I kind of have a draft of what my submission would look like but I’m afraid that it’s too long/wordy. I also don’t have a demo reel(working on it) but I do have some footage from class. Would that be okay to send in?

Demo for commercials - copyright infringement by devildoc412  •  last post Nov 30th

Hi ya'll, hope everyone is doing well. Quick question. So I'm brand new to all this and am just getting started. I've built a sound booth, have my mic and audio interface, etc. I was listening to a pro voice actor/ coach recommend to find commercials on YouTube or the net, transcribe them, and record your version for your demo. I like the idea of this, but it seems like it would infringe on their copyright or intellectual property. Is this allowed? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Hope everyone had a great turkey day if you celebrate it!
