Am I able to directly contact casting directors within actors access? Like without actually submitting to them, just emailing?
How did you find an acting coach/teacher? by jakalonious • last post May 17th
I’ve been having a hard time finding an acting coach. I’m unable to ask actors/people in the industry in person, so I’d like to know how you found yours. Or just any tips on finding a good one. I’m currently a beginner, but my goal is potentially professional theatre.

Advice on determining voice type by jerysleary • last post May 17th
Hi everyone, I decided to venture into voice acting a couple months back, but until now i havent really solidified the type of voice i have. As such, im probably auditioning for roles that my voice simply does not match with. I know the hallmark of a good voice actor is having a wide range, but i figured with this i can perhaps at least realise what that range will be for me. i have included an audio recording of me reciting the opening to fallout 4 (its kinda cheesy but i really liked the speech), and i would really appreciate some insight on my voice type, the type of roles i’d suit etc. [Audio Recording ](https://clyp.it/i2ftrkjm) Again, much thanks for taking the time to listen and helping out
Do voice actors cringe at their voice when they're voice acting? by EchoIsPurple • last post May 17th
I don't know if the question is confusing, but basically what you think your voice sounds like is different than what other people hear. Does that happen with voice acting? So is the voice that you hear the same as the voice as others hear?

Does anyone have any tips on an entry level Mic that can be used for VO/Podcast and also for Vocals? by freeticket • last post May 16th
We're really new to this but my wife is an actor and singer. She booked a podcast VO role (acting job on a podcast) and we need a mic but we'd also like to use it for vocal audio further down the line. We have a new MacBook Air or iPhone to record on. Any advice would be appreciated.

I Have My Gear, What’s Next? (critique my mic?) by hellokitkatkitty • last post May 16th
Hi all My gear has finally all come in (yay). I’ve set everything up and I’m testing it out and as many videos as I’ve watched, and as many discussions as I’ve read up on, I still don’t feel quite as confident as I would like to in intuitively knowing what sounds good (I know with persistence and practice this will eventually happen). So I’ve linked [HERE](https://soundcloud.com/ashley-kellem/test-gain-and-pop-filter-unprocessed)an unprocessed file of me playing around with the microphone. With pop filter (not the one that came with it), without a pop filter, with gain increased and decreased to try and find the sweet spot that I can begin embarking on the voiceacting journey with that best fits my voice. Gear I Have: Neat King Bee Focusrite Scarlett Solo gen 3 (I can’t tell if the Focusrite Control is set up correctly or even what it’s supposed to do but it’s there) M40x As far as software I realized it’s easier visually to record in Reaper but all editing I’ll be doing in RX7 Standard (I’ve tried Reaper, I’ve watched videos from every source until my eyes bleed—I hate it. Eventually I’ll try tackling it again, but not anytime soon). The room I’m recording in now is untreated (hence the rain you can hear) although I feel pretty confident RX7 would help me eliminate or dampen the rain noise if I messed around with it. Within the next week or so I plan on building a portable PVC booth to have a better treated space. I don’t want to jump the gun just yet and let my agents (I’m an actor) know that I have a home studio available now to accept and receive voice auditions—so what should I be working on? Or is jumping into the fire the best bet? Because I’m signed already as a commercial/theatrical actor I don’t necessarily need a voice demo but it’s obviously something I plan on getting sooner rather than later. Right now I kind of want to become more comfortable with the basics and have a firm grasp on the fundamentals (which I feel technique and comfortability is most important and technical experience is second). Should I just attempt small recordings of monologues/books and work on editing, or tackle my first audiobook? There’s great reference and discussion around troubleshooting and how to get started, but I haven’t really seen anything that details out, even if just vaguely, what to do next. How to move from squeaky beginner to a more confident and capable amateur and eventual professional voice actor. Any and all help is appreciated!

What is the best area/place for an actor to live in Vancouver? Do most auditions happen right downtown as that would dictate on where is ideal.
How does recording lines over the phone/video call work? by feliaraen • last post May 15th
Some projects I’m auditioning for require the actors to record lines together over the phone/video call. How does that work? Won’t it lower the quality of the audio?
Script Analysis by robshamrock • last post May 15th
I was wondering, like Robert De Niro's script from Raging Bull that can be found online, do we have much other stuff like how actors do character prep and script work, info from the actors themselves? I find it hard sometimes with objectives, actions etc, maybe its confidence but I like seeing other peoples work before really deciding on my own path that works for me.
Pay what you can for an online acting class by Hongofrias • last post May 15th
Hi! My name is Gastón Frías, I'm an actor and acting teacher from Argentina. Since the quarentine I've been giving a lot of online classes in both English and Spanish. Although I usually have a fixed price for my classes I wanted to make an exception here and give a couple of acting classes with the PWYC model for redditors in the /r/acting sub. So if you can pay something it'll be great and if you don't have any money the class will be free for you. We'll be doing the class via Zoom. If you want to attend to it just DM me and if you have any questions, please ask here! Cheers! Edit: **Demo reel:** [https://youtu.be/VKq3fEDH\_ZQ](https://youtu.be/VKq3fEDH_ZQ) **Monologue:** [**https://youtu.be/8IAa1Dgr0Fo**](https://youtu.be/8IAa1Dgr0Fo)
Need a voice actor for a college project by dannywil325 • last post May 15th
As title says, I'm looking for someone who can do a anime girl voice for a short film I am making for my final college project. I can't offer any compensation other than plugging in any social media in the film credits if you wanted so I'm just looking for a helpful person who can take the role. If need any more details, just ask in the comments please.
Vancouver vs. Toronto by HOTDOGWEHAVEAWIENER • last post May 14th
Hey hive, I've got decent to good theater and film credits from time in L.A., NY, and regional work, but am not really feeling Hollywood anymore. I want a certain quality of life and all the coronavirus stuff has made me take stock of whether or not I want to stay in U.S. much longer. (Also, I have no desire to go to Atlanta.) Anyway, it's a far fetched thought coming out of a few moments of extended despair, but which Canadian city has better opportunity for actors?
