Modular Acoustic Panels - Whisper Room by Sregge • last post Jun 7th
Hey there! I'm a voice actor from Orlando, and I currently have a 4' x 4' Whisper Room setup for voice over. In there, I have 4" Owens Corning 703 lining each wall, and the ceiling. Everything is tucked away nearly behind thick fabric, and I'm quite pleased with the audio quality! Here's the rub... I'm moving. In the next two weeks, I'll be tearing down my studio setup to move it to our new home nearby. In doing so, I'll be taking down all of the OC 703 that lines the booth. For those of you who have never worked with OC 703-- it's messy. And it will likely crumble as I pull it out. That got me thinking. If I have to replace all of the insulation anyway, why don't I build boxed frames for the insulation (similar to an acoustic panel you'd hang on the wall) and stack them. That way I can put them in and take them out without damaging the insulation! I have some concerns that the stacked wooden frames leave less insulation to absorb sound, but I honestly don't know if it's enough to be concerned about. Has anyone created such a system, and if so what was your experience? Am I on to something, or can you help me avoid someone else's mistake? Thanks!

Please judge my general American Accent by monsow • last post Jun 6th
I made a post for r/judgemyaccent about an attempt at a general American accent. I don't think they're critical enough of my accent, so I would love if any actors could give me honest feedback about how close I am and what I can do to improve. https://voca.ro/4QeknebKHPH Thanks a lot!
Calling for Singaporeans once again! by ShiningAway • last post Jun 6th
Since I made my first repost from r/filmmaking on my telegram group a couple of days ago, I have gotten **17** Singapore-based filmmakers, writers and actors onboard! We are an extremely diverse group of young people in Singapore from all walks of life and the ideas just keep coming. We intend to hold a virtual town hall session on Zoom to get to know each other more tomorrow, and that's just the first of many meetups and collaborations that will happen along the way. By joining us, you can expect to get lots of networking opportunities with the next generation of Singaporean filmmakers and actors in the industry. We'll also host dialogue sessions on video calls, and once we're legally allowed to there'll be plenty of opportunities for meetups, group training sessions and short film collaborations. There's even talk of trying out a few plays and musical songs while we gather, nothing is off-limits with us:) From film school students and screenwriters to musical theatre enthusiasts and aspiring actors and actresses, there's something here for you at the Singapore Film and Theatre Lab (SFTL). Ready to join us? Here's how: 1) Drop me a DM. 2) I'll use a variety of methods to ascertain your nationality or place of residence if you're an international student/pass-holder. 3) Once I'm convinced that you're a good fit for our community, I'll send the entry link. --- FAQ: 1. I'm not based in Singapore or affiliated with Singapore, may I join? I'm so sorry but this is a locals only group. We do accept international residents and overseas citizens/PRs though. 2. What's the group culture like? It's small, tight-knit, and feels like family. Oh, and it's beautiful. 3. Am I too young/old/ugly/introverted/extroverted/(insert adjective here) to join? No, no, and no. So long as you come in with the right attitude of being non-judgemental and just being a nice, friendly person to work with in general, you're right at home with us. Thanks for reading this!
Why do casting directors cast actors in their 30s for shows/movies set in college/university? by DiligentCredit4 • last post Jun 6th
So whenever I watch I show set in secondary school, high school, college or university eventually I check the ages of the cast. Sometimes the cast in general are of high school or university age. Other times not so much. I get that with high school shows, the production crew doesn't want to work around child labour laws so much or their themes are more adult so they cast adults. But I don't get why they would cast people in there 30s to play undergraduate university students. I'll give you a brief case by case example. I've watched a few episodes of Grown-ish set in an American college. When I checked the ages of the cast, to my surprise, quite a lot of them were actually around the age of your typical undergrad college student. Not all but a lot. Then I checked another show I watched. Dear White People. The show not the movie. I don't really know about the movie. The cast as a whole is much older. Quite a number of the cast are in their 30s and even though I think the cast is good, I wonder why they didn't really pick more younger people. Someone in their early or mid 20s could have just as much acting experience as someone in their 30s. Maybe even more so. I get that you can go to university at any age but most undergrad students in university range between 18-22. So why pick not one, but multiple people in their 30s?

Your Experience on Frustration of Not Booking by dontcallmebythat • last post Jun 5th
Sorry for such a generic post, but I wanted advice on how you all deal with this. (And also vent.) I think this pandemic has given me time to step back and take a look at (and stew about) how I'm doing as an actor. And I'm NYC-based, non-union, & self represented by the way, to give an idea of my level. I only started auditioning last year. But it has been a year, with a fairly steady flow of auditions for student and indie films... and I have never gotten a single callback and have only booked once. I'm sure this sounds kind of naive coming from an actor with barely any experience, but it just feels crushing. I still give auditions my 110%, I don't dwell on specific projects and failed auditions, I know the odds are way out of my favor, and I know being passed on jobs doesn't make me a terrible actor... But it still builds up and gets really frustrating. The voice in my head tells me that if I can't even book a volunteer-fueled short that requires travel and doesn't pay, then how will I ever book union roles in the future? So I wanted to listen to all you actors out there, and see if this is a common mood and if so, how you deal with it. I'd love to hear from both beginning actors like myself, and experienced actors on what it was like when they were just scrolling through Actors Access. Thanks and stay safe everyone!
Trying to find voice actors for my omorashi audiobook by 123qwertyuiop123 • last post Jun 5th
I just finished writing my first omorashi book. It took me 2 years to finish it but it looks like my hard work finally paid off (: For those who don't know ,omorashi is a Japanese fetish in which one experiences sexual arousal from watching/reading/witnessing someone desperate to pee and struggling to hold it in,eventually wetting themselves. It features 10 different stories in which 10 different people find themselves in desperate need for relief, trying their hardest to hang on until the very last minute. Will they make it in time & avoid the public humiliation? Read to find out. I decided I'm just going to turn it into an audiobook, but my biggest problem right now is finding voice actors that are willing to read out loud the stuff I wrote. The descriptions are pretty explicit and raunchy. Most of the people I talked with about my fetish said that it's really gross.What if the voice actors are disgusted & uncomfortable with it? Any suggestions?

Many people regard 4Kids One Piece to be the worst anime dub of all time. But is it really? Join Justin and Will as they put the Straw Hat voice actors head to head to see which version is the King of the Dubs!

Casting Call / Sydney / Dark Comedy Mini-webseries / July Shoot by chunkythyme • last post Jun 5th
Hello actors! Long time lurker, first time caller. I’m producing a cheeky project for anyone who’s into offbeat, quirky humour and irreverent concepts. It’s a 6 episode web mini series and I’m looking for actors, comedians and anyone who’s into a bit of light clown torture. Plan is to produce first 3 eps and knock it out of the proverbial park, get heaps of eyeballs, and apply for completion grants from relevant bodies. That means hopefully you get paid when we wrap shooting. I come from a BG in social media advertising and have a killer marketing plan which I’m happy to share with you. If you like the idea, drop me a line, I’d really love to hear from you. Project details: **Production title:** We Kill Clowns **Project type:** Mini web series - 6 x 8mins eps **Project Genre**: Dark comedy | mockumentary **Synopsis:** 2 professional clown hunters stalk and convert working clowns into everyday people. Tensions rise as one clown seems impervious to their tactics, thwarting their perfect record. Think The Office vibes and People Just Do Nothing. Wacky and awkward dialogue with absurd action. **Audition Location:** Sydney - exact details TBC following instructions re C19. Will be city/inner west. **Shooting Location:** Sydney NSW inner west **Email:** wekillclowns@gmail.com **KEY DATES** **Auditions:** Friday 19 June & Saturday 20 June: 11:00 – 18:00 (Please note all auditions will be given a specific time within this window) **Call Backs:** June 26th & 27th: 11:00 – 18:00 **Shooting Starts:** Monday, July 20th, 2020 **Shooting Ends:** Friday July 24, 2020 **Wrap Party:** Saturday 25th July **Character Bios** \- 20s - 30s: Vlad (M) + Joey (F) The heroes you didn't know you needed. Our clown hunters are best mates and are a little rough around the edges. Inflated and cringey, their misnomers and jokes land flat, like their hair, which is always ungainly hidden under caps. Herb (M) “Happy Herb” - the city’s most successful and renowned clown. Joey’s arch rival and someone she hasn’t managed to “unclown”. Yet. Watch out for this guy, there’s a creeping sense of lunacy about him. Cassy (F) Enthusiastic and ambitious but severely deluded, her desire to join We Kill Clowns and prove herself to the group only brings chaos. She’s bright and loves Hubba Bubba. Noel (M) + Crispy (M) 2 housemates in the inner west who like to spot and report on clowns. YTB. Kick back and sink some tinnies round a fire pit. These two froth a clown sighting but never go into battle themselves. Daisy (F) Dancing Daisy is a regular working clown who also makes some spare change as a Hotdog mascot for BBQs Galore. She's hard to catch and even harder to flip. TO APPLY: Hit me up on wekillclowns@gmail.com and let me know what role(s) you're interested in. Include any reels or headshots you have please :) I have a mini show bible and full character descriptions to send to those who are keen. I'll probably ask you for a quick 30seconds self tape too so plan to get that badboy ready. THANKS and chat soon yeah? Kaytee Mods pls remove if not in line with house rules.

The Beauty of Acting. by JoeeSpielberg • last post Jun 5th
Here is an edit I've been working on for a while of some of my favourite performances in film, all highly talented actors ( or at least they were in these performances). Please let me know what you think, tell me what are some of your favourite actors, in this video or not, and maybe even like and subscribe too :) [The Beauty of Acting.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMUKZuYiFy4) [Created and edited by Joe Russell \(me\)](https://preview.redd.it/viu6mdc2z5351.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4be7e9666a04947df1d0f41c3261851cbf3167c5)
Headshot-Age Range-Character Type Post - Jun 4 by AutoModerator • last post Jun 4th
Use this thread to post your headshots for feedback, get info on your age range/type, find good headshot photographers, ask any questions you may have about headshots. If you are posting a DIY headshot for feedback, and not just a snapshot in order to get feedback on your age range/type/etc, it is advised that you do at least some basic research on what actor headshots look like--composition, framing, lighting. You will find a Google Image search for "actor headshots" to be very helpful for this. Non-professional shots are fine for age/typecasting; please keep in mind that one picture is a difficult way to go about this. Video of you moving and speaking would be ideal, but understandably more difficult to post. For what it's worth, the branding workshop at SAG-AFTRA recommends a five-year age range. That's inclusive, so for example 19-23, 25-29, 34-38, etc.
