Actor here, what is the process of doing a voice over for a commercial/promo or animation? by Hyper_Intake123 • last post Aug 3rd
So im interested in voice acting and I only about the acting side of things. How much does actual voicework matter? Like changing the pitch of your voice, tones, pauses, resonance etc. I usually do breath diaphragm articulation resonance exercises etc to have a clear powerful voice for acting. When doing a voice over for anything are you usually always trying to tell a story to a single person or? Is the script breakdown very different from acting? If it helps I'm interested more into voice over for commercial and animations. Im 19 yrs old and my voice is still changing. Any help appreciated
Does the talent agency matter? by reddyfreddy47 • last post Aug 3rd
I currently 15 and rlly want to become an actress. Within the next year, I’m going to start acting classes/training and build more credits on my resume through short films or whatever I can get. But my biggest concern is if the agency matters? If I somehow manage to get an agent, I’m scared that they’ll only be able to get me auditions for netflix rom coms or cw shows w no depth. I rlly want to audition for indie films that are similar to Winters bone, Ladybird, etc. Will any talent agency be able to help me get auditions for those type of roles?
Making a living as an actor by ConorKG • last post Aug 3rd
Hey everyone. I'm a 17 year old aspiring actor and this honestly is my greatest passion in life, I don't see myself being happy in any other job. However, my question is, how do I keep the bills paid while attempting a career in acting. Can anyone point me towards any careers that make it easy to juggle the two?
Can I put this booking on my resume? by noclownshere • last post Aug 2nd
I had a night shoot for a feature film last night/this morning. I was booked as a background actor but given the role as “Popcorn Girl”. In the scene, the cameras were only on me, essentially making me the main character of the scene. I was supposed to be home alone making popcorn, while let’s say, a dangerous man-serial killer watched me through the window. This movie is directed by a great known horror film director, and the lead actor, serial killer, is also a very well known famous actor. Now I did not have any lines, but I was the main focus of the entire scene with nobody other than the star/lead. Can i put this role on my acting resume? If so, what would I title my role as? (Ex. Extra, feature, featured extra, etc.) we spent 2 hours filming just this scene of me so im curious. thanks!
Demo Reel Help! by TinyActor • last post Aug 2nd
Hi, I'm a Toronto based actor who is looking to submit to agencies. I'm currently trying to make my demo reel and I wanted to ask for opinions on what I should do. Up until now, I've worked mostly in theatre, and my resume is reasonably strong in that area. On camera, I have one clip from a short film done while I was at theatre school (two years ago). It is technically high quality as the project was designed to mimic a professional set, and I think it represents me well. Besides that, I have some student/indie film stuff that is okay, but is obviously lower quality. I also have some decent self-tapes. I do have a film project coming up, but I most likely won't have that footage for a couple months. I'm wondering whether I should just submit the HQ clip (it's about a minute long) or if it's worth it to add some of the other stuff as well? Basically, quality vs. quantity? Thanks in advance for your thoughts? :)

Helping a voice actor prepare for a recording? by resetplz • last post Aug 2nd
I had asked this question in screenwriting too because I imagine there are many perspectives on how directors generally set the scene for voice actors in order to get the most useful reads. Are there conventions/best practices for describing a scene to a voice actor before any of the recording happens? I'm planning several audio-only productions so there would be no visual reference for the mood/atmosphere (although it had occurred to me to offer visuals related to what I'm aiming for). Wondering how I might best help a voice actor understand the mood I'm after—to get the most accurate reading. I would, of course, discuss character, their motivations, the scene as it relates to the story, and the emotional/narrative aim of the scene. Any other things I should consider?

Is Wilmington, NC a good place to move to pursue acting? by dontshowup • last post Aug 2nd
I recently discovered that Wilmington, NC is home to a huge film and television studio production company. I had no idea. Recent television and film projects include Iron Man 3 and We’re the Millers. As such, I was wondering if Wilmington would be a good place to move to pursue acting? I’m not sure how studio production companies work. Would they prefer finding talent locally or they simply fly in actors from Hollywood? Any input is appreciated!
First time acting in a foreign language! I'm nervous..... by xxxxSP3CTR3xxxx • last post Aug 1st
Ok, so let me elaborate... For the majority of my childhood I have focused my attention and I (M17) have managed to build what I can say a basic fluency in English as an Indian resident and trying to learn enunciation I have picked up a tinge of British accent in my voice which is not well-founded by any means but it's too inclusive to be ignored. I have decided to take up voice acting as a hobby in the past month or so. My setup consists of a relatively small room with not too many spots for echoes and my equipment consists of an $80 audio interface and a $20 xlr condenser microphone (I know, wrong investment). Some tips about how and where to start out and how to spend on my setup in case I take this job more seriously would be priceless. Also any British voice actors here who can help me out of my accent crisis with tips to improve and solidify my British accents?... Thanks for reading this far.. I really appreciate it!
Found this community by MidnightJ1200 • last post Aug 1st
I’ve been a big fan of voice acting, especially considering my favorite characters all had one. I’ve made it my dream to be a voice actor for Disney, even going as far to go over some of the movies in my head picking out scenes. I even have a specific type I can play with the bass of a voice I was given. It’s not the deepest but it’ll do. Nothing some practice couldn’t hurt, but not to much. Anyway, figured I’d post my long term goal on here since it’s relevant
Australian Male voice needed! by GeekyRaptor • last post Aug 1st
Not sure if this reddit is for posting voice talent wanted but here goes. I am looking for a voice actor who can do variations of a Heavy Australian accented adult male's voice. I can pay but I have limited funds per month, so I can only pay 4-5 USD max per line, and no more than 20 dollars per month and a maximum of a 1.50 USD for retakes and alternate takes, I will be giving credit for the voice actor's role in my project. I am looking for someone to fill the role for a character in a video game I am Developing for PC. He's an adult Male plush kangaroo, a living stuffed animal that wears a cowboy hat and a sleeveless vest with a sheriff's star on the left front of the vest. Pm me if interested.
How many hours do voice actors typically work per week? by totapurii • last post Aug 1st
I’m sure theres a fairly large range, so from your personal experiences, how many hours do you typically work a week? Is it a part time job for some people? Or is it usually a full time job?
Is Kevin Spacey a good actor? by Flatulent_Ferdinand • last post Aug 1st
London/Birmingham or Toronto? Theatre by Awkward_Mud • last post Aug 1st
I am an aspiring actor that has the opportunity to study theatre in Toronto or Birmingham, and I would like to know which would be better for a SEA person to start out in. I’ve read that race plays quite a big part in acting roles, I’d like to know how true it is. If it has no effect, I’d appreciate any information regarding the theatre scene in both cities as I don’t have any connections that know about it. Thank you so much!
