Scammers by Movie-Connoisseur  •  last post May 2nd

I have seen many posts and have noticed many scams in the acting business. It’s honestly really sad to see many people trying to scam clueless actors into their bs. Could we possibly dedicate this post to commenting scammers to stay clear of and people to trust? I’m not looking for karma. I just want to hear some other peoples experience with services provides by industry professionals that are either scammers or people to trust. Thanks

Looking for acting resources by Ramoach  •  last post May 2nd

Hey guys, Since I'm stuck inside with no acting prospects on the horizon I thought it might be a good idea to learn up on some stuff. Does anyone know any free/cheap online courses or just anything that you think an actor should learn about? Cheers and I wish you all the best roles in all the best shows

Can an undocumented get into the Industry? by JosephHiller9  •  last post May 2nd

Hello everyone, this question it's for a friend of mine, who sadly doesn't have documents in the US. He is from Spain and he has a good experience in acting, he is good looking and a great actor. I offered myself to help him, and the first thing that is essential, it's to get him sign up in an agency, he actually explained to me that he could do the acting for free, he only wants to act because he really loves it. I am not quite sure that he could get accepted without documents, because when i was accepted in a film, they asked me for my SS#, you know for getting pay, so should i tell him that he has hope?

Anime Voice Acting?? by Dcal11  •  last post May 2nd

Since I began my VO journey a little under a year ago, I’ve always thought it would be interesting to break into anime dubbing with a company like Funimation. I understand that getting into anime dubbing is harder than it sounds and many young aspiring voice actors get into the business specifically because they want to be in Anime. However, I live in Houston Texas, which I hear is a great place for Anime dubbing. Does anyone have any experience in the field, or have any advice on how I could go about working with these companies?

Stranger Things made me want to become an actor again by nikenotnikey  •  last post May 1st

Backstory: I’m a 15 year old with really nothing next to my name in acting, save for some leads in school productions, and I’d really wanted to become an actor until around 2 years ago. I think it was my other studies, or maybe something along those lines, that had made me lose focus, and really, I’d lost all interest. Well, now, after watching the show for the first time, it’s almost as if something inside me has clicked. The characterisation, the production, every single thing about it is eerie and beautiful. It made me want to be a part of that industry reallyyyyyy badly. So badly in fact, I’m now ready to start grinding as hard as possible to become an actor, and my dream now is to make it big. This show has given me that motivation. Thanks so much to Stranger Things, the TV show that’s so much more to me.

How can internationals get themselves in the audition rooms in the first place by Lour-55  •  last post May 1st

Hello everyone, I hope you are safe and healthy. So, I was wondering. How can international actors with no representation get into auditions in the first place. Internationals can't audition without a work visa and they can't get a work visa unless they get a job that sponsors it. This loop hole is insane and a real killer. How can I get a director to see me if I can't even get into the room. Please, help. I need all the information I could get

Do I have to move to LA to become a voice actor?? by Dangus777  •  last post May 1st

I want to attend an acting school but am not sure what I need by 375845019272  •  last post May 1st

I really want to attend Elizabeth Mestnik's acting studio to join the program for studying Meisner's technique. I have absolutely zero experience in acting. No resume, nothing to even put on a resume, etc. I really want to go to this acting studio to not only learn but also to gain some sort of experience and some confidence to comfortable with acting in front of people. I can say that I'm 100% it's what I want to pursue even though I know that right no I'm probably not very good at it. I mean I haven't even performed ANYTHING in front of anyone besides myself to even get some feedback. Sometimes even just doing any acting exercises alone leaves me embarrassed in a way. I'm afraid of the neighbors hearing me so I never let myself go. What advice can you other actresses / actors give me? I'm a woman btw. What can I do to learn on my own for the time being? I have a brother that I could perform for. And how about the acting school. Would I even have a chance of being accepted if I applied? What would I even need to be accepted into her acting studio?? Anything advice or info would be greatly appreciated.

Any Tips for Auditions/Interviews (Applying to MA and One Year FT Drama Schools in the UK)? by ohpandanium  •  last post May 1st

Hey actor friends! A bit of background...I am an American actor who moved to the UK with my partner while he completes a PhD program. I was taking regular part-time classes in the Southeast and had an agent in the Southeast region of the US. I was starting to get bigger and more exciting auditions before we moved. Since I have been here (only 5 mos now) I have connected with the acting community around Oxford, Reading and London a bit and have done a few projects, but it's been harder with the lockdown and the halt on projects. I had an audition for a BBC3 show cancelled due to Covid-19. :( I was excited because it was the first bigger-ish thing I had gotten since I moved here. I do not have an agent in the UK or a Spotlight because I don't have a FT degree or enough qualifying projects (so says Spotlight). However, I have decided to get a bit more serious about my training and my acting career in general so I have applied to a few full-time one year and MA in Acting for Screen programs in London. I have auditions coming up for two different schools (online because obviously) and I want this so much, but it is quite competitive and I am hella nervous. Does anyone here have tips for auditions and interviews at ISSA and RCSSD or just audition advice in general for drama schools in the UK?

Do major agencies (CAA, WME, UTA) use resumes for auditions? by throwaway581387  •  last post May 1st

When an actor repped at a major agency (CAA, WME, UTA) is sent on auditions do the agents send the casting director a resume or do they just go in and audition with just a headshot. I would think that at that level, just being repped by one of them would suffice enough for a resume.

My unexpected start in voice acting! by StephenRoe  •  last post Apr 30th

Last year I moved to Seattle and started taking acting classes, doing stand up, and some other endeavors, with the long term goal of making a living by not sitting in a cubicle. While taking acting classes I found out quickly that voice actors take acting classes to improve their craft. I also had an encounter with the the late Rick May last November - I accidentally walked in on his voice acting class. Afterward, I apologized and he encouraged me to take his class (he was so nice). However at that time VO training was not on my radar. Fast forward to the apocalyptic present. Acting class and my first Improv class has been postponed, but my first acting gig unexpectedly ended up being a lead VO for a video game short film (RDRO). And with the lockdown, I’m only able to take a VO class via Zoom. Something clicked in me and I realized that I have the essential recording equipment, PLUS I’m in Seattle - a giant hub for video game development that reaches out to the same network I’m getting into for talent. I’m all in! I love video games! Am I on the right track? What else could I be doing to build my skill and resume? I know this is a patience game. -

How hard would it be to get one speaking role, no matter how small, in a TV show or film? by WhyIsItAlwaysKenny  •  last post Apr 30th

I've always wanted to be an actor and I cry sometimes from sadness at the thought I'll never be able to have my dream come true. If I could just get one speaking role even if it's just a few lines in a TV show or film (one that's not a student film or something that people will likely never watch a year or 2 down the road), I would consider myself to have at least achieved something that I've always wanted to. I'm willing to put the work in, audition for absolutely anything and everything I possibly can, and I don't have an issue with money so I won't be in a position where I'm limited by finances. I'm also quite good at acting according to people who've seen me act, and an agent had me do headshots years ago and said I was ready for auditions, but due to family reasons I couldn't go ahead with it at the time. I regret it so much. I live in London by the way. I really appreciate any help, thank you

Voice actors needed (unpaid) by kirubiel  •  last post Apr 30th

Hi everyone. I am looking for voice actors to work with for a project of mine on Instagram called @freshdoseofnothing. It is primarily centered around comedy and I only use audio for my videos (and then a visualizer for the video) since my computer is not good enough to edit videos. I have two videos on there and you can feel free to check them out. I've been trying to source audio from videos on the internet so the script literally depended on what audio I can get. But I have a lot of original ideas that I want to write scripts for and if I have voice actors on board I feel like those ideas can come to life. I haven't worked out all the details yet but if you're down, drop a comment and I will get back to you asap. As I said in the title, this is unpaid but I will definitely credit you and make it worth your while. Thank you!

Looking for an acting class or workshop that lets you go crazy! Recommendations needed by lqcnyc  •  last post Apr 30th

Hey I’m in nyc and am not an actor. However I’d really like to let loose with others and kind of go crazy. Not in a depressing serious way but in a fun silly funny way. Like people acting like monkeys, make funny faces and noises, dance around and stuff with guidance from a teacher or leader. I’m looking to do this for therapeutic, mental health reasons. I’d just like to break out of my normal self for an hour or two with others and have a fun time doing it. I don’t even know if this falls into acting or if there are acting classes like it, but I figured it might be. Thanks!
