What are two (or more) fictional characters from anything (game, show, movie etc) that share the same VA which has surprised you to find out? by endless_telegram • last post Oct 20th
For me, the most surprising thing for me to learn was that David Kaye voiced Clank from Ratchet and Clank. Then to find out he also voiced Commissioner Gordon from Batman: Arkham City and Optimus Prime AND Megatron from Transformers Series was stunning. His vocal range is astounding, one of the best IMO. For you, which voice actors surprised you the most or a lot when you found out they voiced two or more characters and made them sound wildly different to each other?
I am not a voice actor but im trying to break a voice habit, help. by davidgaud • last post Oct 20th
Hello, im a 25M and I have an annoying habit I try to break. There is always tension in my vocal cord, resulting in a higher pitched voice. I can relax it for a few seconds and talk with a wayyy deeper voice, but as soon as I make variation in my tone(you know, to not be boring) , I lose it and get back to having tension in my vocal cords, and I higher pitch. How do I break this habit? How to I get to always talk with relaxed vocal cords?

Hello. i’m graduating high school soon, and i want to become an actress. i’ve acted in lots of primary school plays, but that’s rather outdated now. i’m a very unique person as people describe me, but in the acting world i’d guess there’s a lot like me. i want to go to a scottish acting school, and gain experience but i’m not sure where to start, and who will accept me. any advice whatsoever would be greatly appreciated!!

Initial Requests for a Self-Taped Audition by AndyH • last post Oct 19th
I'm writing to take issue with casting directors who request a self-taped audition as a first response to a general casting call. It's one thing to put in for a role, receive a callback request, and then self-tape, but to be expected to do so before the casting director has…

POVs on Tiktok by toast_kun • last post Oct 19th
I’m curious to hear any thoughts about this trend of POVs (you edit a video to pretend you’re having a conversation with a character from a film or TV show, such as Draco Malfoy, and create your own dialogue and plot line). It seems like a fun way for people to get comfortable with being on camera and to learn awareness of how actions translate on-screen (though I’d never suggest using these videos as any kind of submission material). It also seems like a way to build up a following (popular POV creators have upwards of several hundred thousand followers on the app). I don’t know too much about it (and have no intention to make any of these videos!) but I’m curious to hear if you think that making these POVs may backfire on aspiring actors in any way, especially those who begin to find success in their acting careers away from Tiktok.
Can you put links in the Notes section AA? by burritoqueenyo • last post Oct 19th
New to Actors Access and wondering if I could just put links to my videos I've already posted on youtube for them to see in the notes section? Or would this be seen as not acceptable? Second question is can you apply for a sag-aftra role if you are non-union? Thanks
Interview with the Cabbage Merchant from Avatar the Last Airbender (Voice Actor James Sie) by aznfunk • last post Oct 19th
Anyone have a hard time acting at home with parents around? by aweiner99 • last post Oct 19th
I am a beginner actor and feel self-conscious acting in front of my parents. This is what I want to do with my life so I don’t want to give off the impression to them that I’m wasting my time if they don’t think I’m good enough. It’s also hard getting into character in front of people I know, family especially, who aren’t familiar with the entertainment industry. When casting directors ask for self tapes or an acting coach suggests we do a lesson on zoom, I feel unmotivated to do it that way since my family will be listening in.
A male actor needed in London by dsabbie • last post Oct 19th
Hello. I am looking for an ideally 28-40 year old male actor to act in a music video. Unfortunately, our finances are too small to pay unless me and my crew would be willing to chip in a little bit for you. If you're interested, please let me know ASAP. The music video would be about inner change, ego death, memories etc. I
The Red Priest - Week 3 by louisasnotes • last post Oct 19th
It was meant to be 'Blocking Week, this week. However, with the work completed on the 'Minuet' dance scene and the addition of the live Violinist to the rehearsal process, we haven't quite got to the end of the show. No panic, though. The play, based on a Classical Music theme, is split into 5 Movements instead of 3 Acts. Each movement has at least 3 'scenes' to it and - I have learned- just like classical pieces, the scenes at the beginning an the end are much shorter than Movements 3 and 4. So, we are half-way through 4 with the last 4 or 5 scenes to go. We got through about 20% of the production at Saturday's all day rehearsal so I imagine we will end the piece's blocking at Tuesday's get together. Next? Well, Tuesday is meant to be the infamous 'off-book' day, but I think that this will be pushed to Thursday. Any extra time I can get with the script, the better. I am just learning Movement 5, and had a beast of a monologue to plough through at the end of 4. I should be able to go through the entire play from tomorrow on and find out my weak spots. As all actors will tell you, being 'word perfect' working on your own, doesn't mean much when you get to the stage in rehearsal, add music and your acting partner's delivery, try to remember the blocking and your overall speed of delivery and movement. These technical aspects of the work are necessarily disruptive to your recall but, of course, I want to be successfully off-book as soon as I can. So....we are adding all day Sunday rehearsals from next week to ensure we have ample time. Evening rehearsals on Tuesday and Thursday to look forward to, with a Saturday costume and photo call next Saturday. After that, it's down to the work to get us ready for Tech. week in two weeks time and an opening Preview night - to be taped for 'online performances'- On Thursday, November 12. Next week, I should be in a position to lay out some characterization notes and how it all fits together in anticipation of performance. Now...it's back to the script - have a great week ahead, everyone.
Actor’s Mental Health by JadeLastimosa • last post Oct 19th
I feel like we are dealing with a lot, especially our inner demons within this career. The change of the industry is still foggy, but hopefully clearing up pretty soon. This is just a post to send amazing and great vibes to every Actor and Actress, Theatre and Film. Some times a misunderstood community and career. But, it shows just how passionate we are clinging on , even on the thinnest thread. #GoodVibes
LA - ISO Studios, Self Tapes, Readers, Agent by AllOpposed • last post Oct 19th
Fellow LA Actors, I just moved back to LA (WeHo) and have started to feel the isolation of COVID. In order to "get back in the game", I'm searching for some nearby recommendations on classes/studios that are still in operation. Separately, I'm still receiving about an Actor's Access Eco Cast about once every two weeks or so and could use a studio that also helps with self-tapes. If you shoot at home, that'd be cool too - I'd love to trade being a reader/collaborator on your projects in exchange for shoot time (Especially on those smaller/unpaid calls to save some $ on the studio time.) Last, I do have enough materials to start submitting to agents, but what's y'alls pulse on the current situation? Are local agents accepting new submissions right now? Do you know of any agents that are actively seeking new faces/talent? Thanks all! Looking to make myself a larger part of the LA acting community! (M,24,SAG-Eligible,Weho,Drama,Commercial)
Atlanta Actors-Where do you taking casting director workshops? by WearAMask • last post Oct 18th
Hi Atlanta artists! I'm new to the Southeast market, having recently relocated from NYC. I've secured representation down here, but am having trouble figuring out where Atlanta based casting directors tend to offer workshops. I'm hoping to be able to virtually meet CDs down here, as I have been able…

Actors of Reddit: what’s the best way to get an agent? by thatspookykid • last post Oct 18th
Hi all, I’m 22/F and I live in the UK. I’ve been acting in various theatre projects for the best part of 7 years and I’d love to try to move on to a more serious and professional career. I was wondering what advice/opinions I could get about finding possible representation, where to look for more professional (preferably paid) work and what’s the best way to get myself out there. Thanks in advance, any help would be appreciated!
