Voice Actor/Actress Wanted! by enkeenyo_reddit  •  last post Oct 21st

Any other theatre actors desperately missing the stage? by puddingaroma  •  last post Oct 21st

I just watched a video on YouTube of great musical moments and while I'm not a fanatic with musicals, it just hit me that I miss those moments of being onstage: the electricity, the energy, the connection, presenting your hard work to an audience, etc. With Covid, it doesn't seem like we're going to get theatre back any time soon. Anyone else feeling that grief?

Can I compete? by BoomSamson  •  last post Oct 21st

I am a part-time actor with a day job/career. Can I realistically compete with an actor who is a full-time actor, that has gone to a prestigious acting school, is training everyday, lives in LA, has his materials (HS, Demo reel, Resume) on lock, has an Agent already, has list of credits, trains with the best acting coaching, is in shape and works out everyday, and is good-looking? I have not gone to a prestigious acting school, I live in a smaller market, I work on my craft a couple of hours each day, my materials are good, I don't have an agent, I have a few short films under my belt, I am kind of in shape and work out sometimes when I have energy after my day job and am moderately good-looking. How can I think to even compete for a small number of roles available everyday with people that are committing so much?

Actor Quarantine Weight Gain? (nyc) by CuspChaser111  •  last post Oct 21st

I stepped on the scale and it wasn’t good. The presidential elections plus depression-anxiety multiplied by sweatpants minus open gyms added a few. More than a few. My manager says I’m not the only actor fretting. I’m not interested in watching every calorie like Tracy Gold in the 80’s. So far I’ve lost 5 lbs this month. What are you in big cities doing? Bc in Manhattan going for a run means running into people, homeless people, and hopping over dogshit & toddlers (extra points) all suffocating in a face mask. I can’t afford a Peleton & yoga classes on YouTube are just...not yoga. While regular people can “own” their weight gain (ha ha! Love yourself!) we are actors I don’t wish to now become a character actor. Thanks.

How Hard Is It to Actually To Have A Big Break? by Hot-Ruin-3646  •  last post Oct 21st

I’m always scared I’m gonna end up just being an actor who never gets a break and just ends up having to be a working actor, and I just want more than that

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?

Advice for a young actress with no important experience? by Mauzzakate  •  last post Oct 20th

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!!

Guys I’ve been practicing my acting I’m only a freshman but I want to try at this career bc I really like today I told my mom I would like to be an actor and I think she thought I was joking.She then told me that I have to go into the business my dad works in to make a lot of money which is something I’ve never been interested.Does anyone know how much actors make.Not Hollywood actors but just like the not so famous ones bc I really want her to support me in this and I don’t think she will if she thinks i won’t make much money out of it

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…

Responses and Requests by MiaGonzo_Acting14  •  last post Oct 19th

Im new to backstage and have applied for a few roles. 2 of them haven't responded in over a week, is that normal? what is the normal amount of time it takes for them to respond and say, please audition, or no?

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

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
