As an actor, what is your process? by blueregional  •  last post May 5th

Looking to challenge myself during isolation by alecschwartz961  •  last post May 5th

Give me a monologue. A hard monologue. Something that would make me push myself, that might be out of my comfort zone, that requires lots of practice and time to perfect. One that you’ve had before and struggled to master, or one you’ve seen and been amazed by. Either way, I want to keep growing as an actor over this strange time and I figured this sub would be the place to go for a good challenge.

Is there anything such as a bad voice? by DryRaincoat  •  last post May 4th

Hey, everyone. I’ve been interested in voice acting from a young age but never thought of possibly making it a reality until now. However, I’d like your opinion on something; do you think there’s a thing such as a bad voice? Should some people “just not be” voice actors? It’s funny because everyone speaks differently in real life and it’s normal, but when it comes to voice acting, I’m wondering if the situation is different. Are some people’s voices simply unfit to become a voice actor?

Calling all dubbers! by ilikethebadguy  •  last post May 4th

Hello! I am a 21 year old female voice actor and I have been dubbing for almost 5 years now on and off. The picture shows some of the roles I've had and some shows I mostly ad-libbed or had minor roles. (Missing a few...) I've been side-hustling online as well, but mostly dubbing on TV. My question goes out to all the international dubbers/VAs who've landed roles abroad (or in English), how and where did you find your projects? Dubbing is fun and all but I've always wanted to be that "original voice" or the "English voice"! I don't have a notable accent either, as I've lived in the US and generally since just have a lot of American/British friends. Even if you're not a dubber please do share your story, I find it very enjoyable and interesting to hear other's stories!- International dubber with huge ambitions https://preview.redd.it/bo99p95l8tw41.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=81587f0648071df5d44683a97aaee51c2b5f5f4b

[request][source]Random characters like the vanity Fair videos by BalistekWrench  •  last post May 4th

Hey all, first time poster on this r/, Does anyone know where/how to find random characters like the ones they use in the vanity Fair voice actor improvises series? I think it would be a fun exercise, but I've tried various Google searches, stock image sites and deviant art, and all met with various types of failure. Any ideas?

How do freelance VO artists go about getting insurance? Do you have to join a union?

Sounding fake by kendrakj  •  last post May 3rd

I signed up for online acting starting tomorrow. Is it normal when you read a monologue to sound stiff and fake? I haven’t memorized anything yet, but I’m worried that I won’t ever sound natural. I’ve never read a monologue or memorized or did anything having to do with acting before. Could practicing and learning really make me a good natural actor? I feel like even when I speak to anyone I sound scripted and like a robot.

actors who werent very good in their first role? by redalienbaby  •  last post May 3rd

im wondering if you guys can think of any actors who werent very good in their first role but then blossomed and became something great. The reason im asking is because i have a good feeling most of my work is shit. And recently i booked a big movie (probably because of my instagram following) but I was horrible in it. It hasnt come out yet but when it does I know people will write me off . Just curious, do you guys think actors only get one shot?

so uh... questions? by figure_skating_bagel  •  last post May 3rd

Hi all! I've been thinking of the future a lot, as my sister is graduating soon (lots of college talk in my house). So, here's the thing. I have a passion for performing in live theatre and I want that to be my life, however, I've seen the unemployment rate among actors, and I don't think I would be able to keep myself alive if I were only having a survival job (I can't work with people to save my life, and I can't specialize in things like computer science). So here's my question. Should I get a degree in something else and minor/double major in acting so I can have a safe backup? Or just go for it straight away? (my "backup" job would require a lot of schooling but I'm also really passionate about it). Opinions? Thanks!

I want to be a Voice Actor but.... by AustinSanity  •  last post May 3rd

Hey guys,my name is Austin and I'm 18 years old(turning 19 on June 12th). I recently joined this subreddit.I'm about to graduate on May 22 virtually due to the whole pandemic going on. But,i do want to pursue a career into voice acting. I want to say that I've been interesting in voice acting since I was young. Whether it was playing video games or watching cartoons/anime. Ever since then,i thought voicing a character seemed really awesome. Ever since then, I found my career choice and been heavily invested in it. But,there are a few problems that I'm facing currently. First off,i didn't take theatre during high school. The reason for this is because I had social anxiety and was afraid to work in crowds. I even struggled on school project presentations. To this day it still urks me that I didn't take it as I could've have some acting experience on my belt. Next,i feel like my reading and voice is just odd sounding. I sometimes mispronounce words and,read very fast from time to time. I cringe at the thought of hearing my voice in video recordings when I do Youtube Commentaries or even live streams. And finally, I lack confidence. I want to pursue Voice Acting because it seems like a fun and an unique experience. I want to have a career I can enjoy for myself. However,with my voice I feel like I'm going to fail at it. I also make careless mistakes. Sorry if this post is very long. I just need guidance from professionals like you guys. I want your guys feedback on what to do and how to get better. I have been practicing during this time by recording myself reading movie quotes to even poems. I also been watching free webinars from people like Steve Blum(one of my favorite V.A's) and other tutorials. And as mentioned earlier,i do gaming commentaries and live streams from time to time to build up my speaking voice.

Acting schools that allow online auditions by morganacauli  •  last post May 3rd

Hello Please recommend schools or universities in LA, UK, Chicago, Europe or wherever in the world) that are credible and offer acting courses to international students As an international student aspiring to be an actress, I’ve been looking into a lot of schools for a long time now. Tisch, is very well known, and allows international students to audition without attending in person (they allow online auditions which is super convenient). The alumni list is really good too when it comes to acting. but NYU IS JUST TOO EXPENSIVE. I don’t know any other schools that allow online auditions considering that I am an international student. Please recommend, and share some insight too. (Schools with financial aid are a plus)

How to become a animated voice actor? by xExistentialRotx  •  last post May 3rd

I really would like to get into anime voice acting. To people who are actually in a anime or something animated, what did you do to get to where you are now? Just curious about what steps to take. Thanks!

Thinking about taking a break from college. by LovelyMoFo18  •  last post May 3rd

Hello, I've never really thought about joining any VA subreddits until now, lol. I follow my favorites on Twitter and such, but that's about it. I feel kinda dumb, Haha. Anyway, please bear with me. I have a dilemma. I want so badly to do voice acting. I recently took a college course for acting and I absolutely loved it. I was previously in Film, but for almost a year now I've been looking at different voice actors, techniques, and behind the scenes of how everything works. I've attended a few seminars and I think that's really what I want to do in life. My problem starts with my hesitation to continue college (for now). It's been a really stressful year this semester, and honestly, I haven't even gotten out of my required core classes, and I just want to focus on what I like. Is stopping college courses for a semester in favor of looking for more experience in acting/voice acting a good idea? And also, where would I go in order to get more education in it? I'm scared to go through with it because I've had tough living situations before, and I hear that the VA world is a tough one starting out. TLDR: I'm thinking about pausing with college to pursue voice acting, and I have no idea if that's okay or not. Thanks for reading.

Advice navigating an audition/role for low budget show. by cmfdbc  •  last post May 3rd

*This is al purely hypothetical and applies to future auditions and castings as well not just this particular one! I got an actors access audition for a very low budget & cheesy “scary” TV show. It doesn’t air on TV and is non-union. I watched a few episodes and the acting is pretty meh and I did some research on the actors and most anyone who’s on the show has only ever booked the same kind of roles since....low budget, non-union, cheesy “action/horror” type stuff. I in NO way expect to get this role since there are so many amazing people auditioning I am sure. However let’s say I do get it! I am in no position as an actor to turn roles down at this point in my career. I have mostly minuscule co-star credits or leads in non-union student films. I am asking for advice on how to navigate this situation since I want to work on passionate and professional SAG projects. I also do not want to work in horror & I fear if I took the role I would only ever be seen as a cheesy horror actor from now on out b/c you know how casting directors can be? :/ What do I do? Do i have integrity as an actor and turn down roles that I think may cast me in a bad light or do I take it because it’s an IMDB credit? Ya know? Do not mean for any of this to come off as if I am ungrateful for the opportunity to audition for roles. I love the art of acting. I just need to be able to make sure I book things that will line me up for success if I want to make money doing this. Thank you lovely humans.

Me and some friends are putting on a play in Minecraft and we want you to audition. by Aviator1116  •  last post May 2nd

(**This play will be for Minecraft Java Edition Only**) The show we will be performing is “10 Ways To Survive The Zombie Apocalypse”, a comedy play written by Don Zolidis. The show has a run time of around 30-35 minutes and has a small cast of only 6 actors. You may remember a post similar to this one for You’re a good man Charlie Brown, but we found that the show was to technically advanced to perform in Minecraft so we went for a shorter, easier to perform play. The show will be performed on the Palace Minecraft server and the auditions will be held this Sunday (May Third) at 3pm Eastern Standard time. There is currently no set date or a schedule due to the fact that this show needs to fit everyone’s needs. If you have any further questions for the show, contact me at badbadger53@gmail.com. Thank you!
