Looking to start a creative filmmaking group [x-post r/Nashville] by AevanGR • last post May 27th
Hey all. I'm in Nashville, and wherever you are this is for you. I'm looking for fellow creatives who have a story they want to tell, a piece of music they want to create, a voice they want to share, a character they want to embody, a skill they want to use. I'm a cinematographer/director and photographer and I'm dying to find other people to create with. I would love to find a group of people who would come together to realize each other's passion projects. I don't care about making money doing it, I just need to make things with other people who feel the same. I love filming and editing, but you need actors to film, a script to bring to life, a soundtrack to evoke the emotional content, and so much more. If you're a storyteller who has a story you're dying to tell (fictional or otherwise). If you're a writer with a script that needs to be realized. If you're a musician who wants to create a score but needs a film to set that score to. If you're an actor who just wants to embody a dream role. If you're a sound engineer who just needs a sound to engineer. We all have things we've been dreaming of doing, but just can't or haven't for whatever reason. I want to find the right group people and actually do them, together. Writers, actors, musicians, composers, lighting peeps, audio techs, etc. What I'm trying to say is: it takes all sorts to make a project into more than the sum of its parts; individually we have the ability to make the parts, so let's come together to find out how to assemble them. This isn't a job offer, and I'm not a talent scout or anything like that. I just feel like this city has so many talented people who are sitting on a dream and who don't know people who can help them realize it. I want to make a team that can come together to make them happen. Comment or DM me if any of this resonated with you.
Feedback for Narration by feliaraen • last post May 27th
I'm a beginner voice actor, so feedback is very important for me! Here is just a short audition I did. I think I read it a bit too slowly though.

Becoming a foreign actress. by livcelot • last post May 27th
Hello everyone. Im a 16 year old girl from Albania, europe. The acting industry here is completely depressive. We barely make any movies + if we do they all end up looking as if they were made on a low budget. No acting schools are available, just some average courses. A little about me: I’ve always been a fan of Hollywood. I absolutely wanted to be an actress ever since young. Yadda yadda the typical cliche story BUT- being a type of introverted artist has always been challenging to me because of society. I am the type of person who doesn’t talk much, rather listens to what you say and i only start conversations when i find the topic to be interesting. One of my passions is psychology too. It’s a talent for me; reading people like books. If i were to play a character i guess i could go for the mentally challenged, outcasted, rebel, free spirited and artist characters. I guess I can come to terms with an introverted outcast character due to facing that reality myself. I used to play at school plays a lot. It eventually became a thing of the past. However now it’s coming back. I am going to start an IB diploma programme in a new school soon, due to my old school shutting down. Could that diploma possibly help me to apply in an acting school in the US? Is it possible for me to play if I am not a citizen? And what do you think could be the best path I could potentially follow?
Dubbing in NYC? by FriedZuluWarrior • last post May 27th
Hello all! I am a young novice voice actor who is still weighing his options when it comes to where I will make my first push into the industry of voice over. I have always been fascinated by the process of anime dubbing and would love to work as a dub actor. I know that Dallas and LA are big dubbing cities but I believe that the dense competition there would out match my current acting ability. I have heard stories from current prolific VO artists who got their start in anime dubbing in NYC. So I believe it would be a good place to cut my teeth as it were. My question is this, Does anime dubbing happen in NYC anymore? Are there any r/VoiceActing members who have or are finding dub work in NYC?

Any tips for being less self-judgmental? by daddymonster1 • last post May 26th
I grew a lot as an actor within the past year and 3/4 and I've really improved. And there are days when I really feel that, but there are also days when my theatre club's director will criticize me and when we're done with our rehearsal, I'll go home beating myself up about it, even if I also did something else well and the director told me so. I know that I still have time to grow and that I will grow because I have motivation to do so and that it all gets better the more practice there is (and I practice a lot, I always want to do better), but I hate these moments when I mess it up. It's not laughably bad or anything, but it's not good enough. I'm sure it sounds childish, but I feel very impatient for when I'm finally truly great, for the moment when I'll be able to do a reading so effortlessly like I see some of my more experienced colleagues do. There's some envy in all this too that I've been trying to get rid of for a while but it still bites me here and there when I see how supported they are in what they do and how many people they have that are proud of them. Me? Almsot all I have are people pretending to support me but I can tell they see my dreams as unrealistic. There are a few who seem to truly support me, but really not much. I wasn't one of those kids whose qualities were recognized and I had to find myself on my own in the end, starting to act only at the age of 18. And a lot of these people were already in theatre when they were kids and I just want to be on their level, but I'm painfully aware that I'm not. I don't feel acknowledged for how hard I'm really trying (but I'm sure that's a common problem in the community). Maybe there's something good in that, maybe that's what will really make me push myself harder, but is there anything I can do about this rocky feeling of self-worth? Now, I'm not an insecure person anymore, acting helped me with that, but I'm an insecure actor and whenever I mess up, I feel awful, even though I know it's normal and that there will always be ups and downs and that criticism is necessary. Understanding this and still feeling this way anyway only makes me even more annoyed at myself. Did anyone have similar problems and if so, how did you handle them?

How does tv acting work? Questions i've always wondered! by Kahli_Elliott • last post May 26th
So, i'm an aspiring actor & these are things i've always wondered about the behind the scenes with acting on TV Shows. I know movies are a different ballgame. But, with tv shows, more so an hour type of show, how does it work? I know they film usually an episode a week and each actor has their "call schedule" so they know what days they film & what days they're off. But, like... do they have to memorize the entire episodes script in a day? or do they just need to memorize their lines for that specific scene(s) they shoot for that day? ​ Now, with a show that has 22+ episodes, i know that's usually about 9-10 months of filming & the actors usually have to "live" wherever the show is filmed at. Does the show pay for them to live there or do they pay for their lodging accommodations themselves? How do they get paid? Lol this is the big one i've wondered. Like, do they get paid AFTER the show is wrapped? Or like weekly or what? Obviously most famous actors don't talk about pay. I've just been curious if they're like us regular people & get checks or direct deposit like us haha. ​ These are all just questions that have crossed my mind. I'm sure if acting does take off for me & i ever get remotely lucky to be on a tv show one day even as a guest role, i'll see for myself, but for now, i know reddit will give me good answers lol.
Looking for actors : Online Drama/Horror Anthology by happiestmo • last post May 26th
hi guys, i'm an actor in this untitled drama/horror anthology and the creators are looking for a surplus of actors, so if you're 16-early20's, looking for something to do, then consider joining! here's what the co-director of this project says: >we are currently in the process of writing our scripts for the episodes, this will be a live-action show where the actor will have to find a way to record themselves using at least a semi-decent camera to send back to the editors, we have several directors, 6 writers, one actor, one actress, and a handful of editors, right now we are looking for actors to be able to join in on this project. we are looking for actors in the roughly 16 - 20 ish age range so we have around the same age for everyone, these episodes will be mostly 1 actor by themselves interacting with other actors in the episode either over phonecall or types of cuts to make it seem as they are together, but unless if you live with a person who also wants to act, nobody will be physically interacting with you. if you are interested in joining this project, you can join the discord server with this link ([https://discord.gg/NsDKJCk](https://discord.gg/NsDKJCk)) PS: this is just an ad, and i am only an actor in this project, so please ask the creators and directors your questions if you have any :)
Newbie Actor - Short Comedic Monologue - Would love some Feedback! by msjubial • last post May 26th
HI! I would love some feedback on this (you might have seen this monologue floating around recently due to a recent open casting)! I just started acting a few months back and would love some pointers since I haven't been able to go to class due to Covid-19. I can totally return the favor (though I'm new so not sure if my thoughts would be that valuable). Also wondering how else everyone gets feedback from practicing scenes/monologues if they don't have a class or teacher to share it with?

Bad time to submit to agents? by newbcanadianactor • last post May 26th
Long time larker here lol! Just for reference, I’m in Toronto, and planning to submit to agencies in Toronto I’ve been contemplating submitting to agencies, but with covid19, I don’t know what things will look like. Last year I’ve been more focused than ever on getting my actor’s education with Second City, LB Studio, and Pro Actor’s Lab My goal was to focus on honing my skills first and getting some minor experiences first before getting an agent. I just when I got my package ready to submit in March this year, but Covid hit... now I’m wondering if I should even submit? I know things stopped, and casting hasn’t really been happening in the city. Is it even worth it? Because I don’t want it to go unseen.
UK Actors, Spotlight membership? by Ambitious_Ticket • last post May 26th
Hi all, Got a question for those on Spotlight that didn't go to drama school. (A bit of back story - I graduated university with a Filmmaking degree, absolutely loved it and during my time there started performing a lot, ultimately deciding it's what I wanted to do and the films I was apart of have done well). I'm already in £45,000 plus debt, I can't really afford drama school now and I'll be 27/28 when finishing. I worked really hard after graduating, blood, sweat & tears managing to get a role on a feature film and from there an agent - and onto Spotlight as an under 25 member. This was my year to get my final credits so I can stay on next year. Well, covid has happened and the industry has closed down. I asked Spotlight for an extension due to the circumstancea but they've said no. I have til January to get work and then I'm kicked off Spotlight. I'm trying to keep as positive as possible but this has devastated me... But bigger picture, I have my health and I'm grateful for that. Those of you that got on to Spotlight without drama school, how did you find work? Was it Mandy? Being off Spotlight would feel like back at square one. TLDR: Went to University for Film, not drama school- currently on Spotlight but will be kicked off in jan. How can I find work?
Bob Bergen Interview PT1 by Letardic • last post May 26th
Hello everyone. I've subscribed to Crispin Freeman's podcast for a while now and thought it selfish of me not to share this particular [interview with Bob Bergen](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/vam-157-interview-with-bob-bergen-part-1/id452658730?i=1000466160607) Notes through out the 3 part interview: * Be unrelenting in your pursuits * Do what you can to be a better *Actor* * If you're in the field to make money, question your motivation or priorities * Take risks where applicable, as an actor you have nothing to lose being vulnerable The one thing that really struck me was: * You're not an actor portraying a character...***you are that character.*** Anyway thank you all for your efforts in sharing content and improving one another.
Is acting luck by Exotic_Disk • last post May 26th
I am no hater, just wanting to know a simple question. There are actors that aren’t famous and minimum wage that are just as good as A-list actors like Robert Downey jr and Tom Holland. Are they just A list because they auditioned for a famous role and got lucky? What is the catch?
Asian American Actor curious about moving to Asia for acting. Thoughts? by gunshoh • last post May 26th
Mostly curious about the idea. I am a theatrically trained actor and have gotten steady work in the Bay Area, but I am unsure if CV-19 will breed a large enough anti-Asian sentiment that will reduce opportunities. Are there any other Asian Americans who have made that move? If so, what was the experience like? Did your foreignness help or hinder your opportunities there?

I am almost 25 and still have no formal education by thisismilai • last post May 26th
I have taken acting classes and courses for 2 years or so, but I don't have a formal education. I have been admitted into AADA, however, I don't have money to go there and then I heard some really bad reviews and decided not to waste the money I don't have. I am applying to an acting school in my city (Kyiv, Ukraine) this year as well. It is a 4-year program and I am afraid not only that they will not admit it based on my age, but I am more worried that I will be around 29 years old when I graduate. I understand that there are actors who have been "late to the game" and still had good careers or jobs, at least. However, I just cannot shake the feeling that I am "too old".
