Skeptical of 'Actors Academy' on Youtube by umheyimchris  •  last post Sep 13th

There's this guy named Actors Academy on youtube is he legit? I can't find his name to see if he's played in anything but gives lots of acting advice like he's a pro should I be listening to this guy? https://preview.redd.it/blr66c8xwtm51.jpg?width=246&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a0cdf66a9afbae5504490accf86c76eda4494d6

I'm looking to add a voice over option to using my existing Fiverr and would appreciate any advice you have. by Voyager87  •  last post Sep 13th

I've just come into possession of a Blue Ice Snowball microphone and have a pleasant sounding neutral British accent and am looking to offer voice overs/narration through Fiverr and am wondering what to include in the sample recording and any advice you have for recording good voice over work from my living room. I was thinking I'd record a few sample advertising, instructional and technical scripts and and a recording of a a more dramatic piece like a sample of Lord Of The Rings or War of the Words. Ill be recording using Audacity and am relatively inexperienced with voice editing but have done a decent amount of video editing. Here's 2 samples I just recorded its rough and I am aware I fluffed a word or two and that the intonation and flow could do with some work. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vaGajL8izU3mZKT7OHx6vCZEeQoDq9L5/view?usp=drivesdk https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SheSg3-jIOtd7O_XId1heiAOK1SQNR9W/view?usp=drivesdk Edit: I feel like I should clarify that I'm not exactly looking to be a professional voice actor but due to covid I'm currently out of work hence why I'm using Fiverr to pay my bills, whilst in the future I'd be more than interested in turning pro as it were for now my focus is to do a good enough job and paying my bills.

Need advice by ILLILLILL11  •  last post Sep 12th

Listen, I’m only a teenager so I’m not worrying too much but still id like to get a jumpstart on things. I’ve known that I want to be an actor for sometime now. I really just don’t know where to start. I live in the 25th worst county in the world and don’t really know how to crawl out of here. There’s nothing to really help me get a jumpstart on acting. I really just need some help I don’t know what to do, I’m desperate.

What's the best characteristic in an actor? by elyselia  •  last post Sep 12th

Hi everyone! If you have to chose one thing an actor MUST have to be a great actor, what would you chose? Why? And how do you get it (is it natural talent, is it experience, is it great training...?) Let's hear your opinion!

Addison Rae, Tik Tok Star, cast in a movie - my thoughts, questions, & concerns. by CuspChaser111  •  last post Sep 12th

On a plane home from Italy a few years ago, I finally sat down and watched The Florida Project. As always, Dafoe impressed. Detail-oriented, believable, grounded - and playing 'the good guy' I was smiling every moment the man was on screen (and taking notes.) The main actress. however, caused the opposite reaction in me. It seemed as if in a few scenes Dafoe seemed genuinely frustrated with her acting. When I looked up said actress, I found she had been 'discovered' off Instagram by the director. I think there are many other actresses in her age range, essence, and look that would've killed her role. The director has every right to choose whom they choose, but why would they choose an actress from IG v. one with actually strong credits is beyond me. Maybe he couldn't get Margot Robbie who kind of kills just, well, everything. ;) I am not a social media person. Today I noticed a TikTok celeb whom a few friends 'love' (oh how we LOVE to use that word in America!) booked a role in a major upcoming film. I didn't want to pre-judge (look I am sure there is major talent on TikTok) and so I visited her work, and it's just - what the hell is this? This is not acting. This is not good work. What the fuck is this? Where is the work? It seems like anyone attractive could do this. How is this girl making millions of dollars and getting cast? It's not going to work, but if I could I would urge people that 'following' and 'liking' these people to stop. Don't support work unless it's solid work. What is happening to our society? My assumption is that because she has many followers, producers are thinking it will translate to money. Newsflash, that theory doesn't always work. Shame on us with what we're doing to society and shame on casting these people. Jesus. Look for actual fucking talent, people.

My Plan by YourMumsAVirgin69  •  last post Sep 12th

My dream is to get into a prestigious, well known, acting school such as RADA, LAMDA, RWCMD, Guildhall. I'm 17 yrs old with extremely little acting experience as I wanted to get a Computer Science qualification in college to fall back on if acting didn't work out. Due to my area not having many school or classes for adult or teen actors, I am planning on waiting until I am 18 (just a few months away) and then signing up for a beginner acting workshop over 4 Saturdays in Cardiff which is about a 40 minute drive from me. This will just be to get some real acting training and have professionals critique me. After that, I will likely do the more advanced classes there and perhaps get some stage work if they are offering auditions. I will continue this until I finish my Computer Science course (around June next year) and then apply to some prestigious acting schools in London or Cardiff. Hopefully I would get accepted. What do you guys think of this plan?

Brand new to Voice Acting and Voice over. Looking for advice on how and what it takes to get going by somethingski  •  last post Sep 12th

Hey there, hope you're all enjoying your weekend so far. I've been an actor for over 10 years, and worked professionally for sometime and am SAG eligible. I took a hiatus starting at the end of 2018 to focus on getting married and life, and recently moved back to Chicago. I'm looking to get back into acting and specifically am interested in voice acting. Having no background in this technique and this side of the industry, I am looking for some guidance and also have some questions. What are some resources that are good to use? What is some beginning equipment to invest in? Does anyone know of some good online resources for training, or any coaching and training options in Chicago?? How do people usually get going? Are headshots as important as your demo? When should I invest in a demo? When do you know it's time to seek representation? What channels are available to audition independently? How important is social media to voice-over and voice acting? What are some easy beginning projects to practice on? Any advice I might want to know starting off? Thank you for any and all input. This seems like an awesome community so once again thanks for your time. Good luck, and have a great weekend

What do you think every actor should know? by iovoko  •  last post Sep 12th

My question is pretty much just that. What, in your professional opinions, do you think every new or aspiring actor should know/understand?

Celebrities getting roles over trained actors by Movie-Connoisseur  •  last post Sep 12th

I’ve seen a few people on the sub complain about celebrities like Addison Rae and Harry Styles getting roles instead of actual trained actors. I understand that you may find it annoying but you have to realize that these, from what I can tell, are supposed to be groundbreaking movies, they’re simple movies with big names attached to them to get money. I’m happy that there are still many actors and filmmakers which are passionate about film that try to deliver art over a money-grab.

Gena Rowlands by badbainus  •  last post Sep 12th

Just watched A Woman Under the Influence for the first time. I had never heard of Gena Rowlands. My mind is blown. Her performance has unalterably changed me- not just as an actor, but as a person. I think Cate Blanchett put it best in her speech at the Governor's Awards in 2015: [https://youtu.be/E8u4q5kDiEw](https://youtu.be/E8u4q5kDiEw) Thank you, Gena.

What do you think about celebrities getting roles? by evenforyou  •  last post Sep 12th

When I say celebrities, I don’t mean actors. Harry Styles has just been announced to star in Olivia Wilde’s ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ (replacing Shia LaBeouf). Addison Rae (Tik Tok star) has been announced to star in ‘She’s All That’ remake. I don’t know much about her so maybe she has trained as an actor, but I can’t find much about that, only dancing. I’m not saying that they don’t deserve these roles but surely their name and following has secured them over talent.

Aspiring Asian actress. by NeiSennn  •  last post Sep 12th

What word of advice would you lend to aspiring Asian actors? Not that familial pressure to pursue a "real" career isn't enough (this may be an offensive stereotype to some, but it is true in my case), but the industry in anglo countries doesn't particularly favor Asians or Asian-looking people (I am east Asian looking). The career path is already risky as it is, but add the box of Asian roles and it does become a stickier situation. there are a few exceptional cases like the recent casting of Liu Yifei and other significant Asian roles in the Mulan movie but this is one in a few.Basically, what I'm saying is I'm quite intimidated. I know I want to pursue acting but it's a scary world out there for minorities, or so I've heard. Scary meaning forever being cast as the nerd extra or diversity character. what advice would you have for someone like me? it could be in regard to where I should study (undergrad), what I could do, or anything really. All advice would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely,a confused but determined Actress-to be

Any other aspiring actors living in/lived in St. Louis, MO? by blasian_96  •  last post Sep 12th

Does anyone know any good talent agencies, drama schools, or overall performance arts communities in St. Louis? Are there a lot more acting opportunities out here than most people may think? It just kind of bums me out when I go on Backstage or other websites and there’s barely any projects based in Missouri in general.
