Monologues for 18-25 year old man. by PawneeMifflin  •  last post Apr 6th

I have been trying to look for monologues from film/TV where I can play someone around my age, 18-25, maybe even up to 30. Most famous monologues from movies are older actors, so its kinda hard. I found a few like in Beautiful Boy, Miss Stevens, etc. Would appreciate any tips. Could even be a dialogue but have strong one-sided moments.

Nice Gestures for Voice Actor Partner? by savage_broccoli  •  last post Apr 6th

Hi everyone, My boyfriend has recently just gotten his full-time voice over gig (yay!) and I’ve been thinking about what other nice gestures I could do for him. At the moment I make him a honey lemon ginger tea every morning. Do you have any tips or recommendations to share? Even it’s small as having a type of throat lollies on standby or equipment that you would consider a holy grail. All very much appreciated, thank you in advance.

Voicebunny accent confusion: help? by Icy_Neck  •  last post Apr 6th

Hello fellow voice actors! So I just applied to voicebunny. I am aware how difficult it is to be accepted however I was rejected for just one reason. Your recording does not reflect the accent the client requested. This is bizarre. It was written in the project info that it would be 100 words, young female, and in English(Ireland). My native accent is Irish and this is what I used in my application. Does voicebunny only accept certain accents? If so, this wasn't clear at all considering English(Ireland) was written as part of the project details, not English (U.S) or elsewhere. If so I would have liked to have known this in advance and would have conducted the audition in a different accent (for which I have had formal training already). However I was under the impression from the details that this was supposed to be my native accent. This was the only note/reason I got, hence my confusion. I believe that the quality was up to standard, and there was no mention of anything else in the email. If anyone could help me with this, I would greatly appreciate it! I have tried to call them but they are not answering. Hopefully I can understand what this is about. Thanks for reading!

Recommend any online acting classes? by powerpuffgirlbubbles  •  last post Apr 5th

I don’t care if they cost anything. I feel like I should do something while in quarantine. I’m 19 and have taken actors studio and theatre classes in high school. So, I decided to try acting in movies and tv shows, so now I’m trying to get an agent. Does anyone recommend any acting classes online since I’m stuck inside? Does anyone recommend any exercises I should do? :) thank you and everyone stay safe

Accomplished Narrator Looking For Heavy Scrutinization by Plastic-The-Bag  •  last post Apr 5th

**Hey Voice Over Folks!** I am back at it again, looking for your advice. Last time everyone was super helpful in showing me what i might be doing wrong. Almost all comments were helpful and productive to my overall improvement as a voice actor and audiobook narrator. At the time of writing this i have produced 34 audiobooks, the highlights of which would be working for Willow Rose, performing all 3 of her books of the Harry Hunter Series, and looking forward to working on book 4 soon. I just recently picked up a client who contacted me, and am in works of his book through ACX. One comment i have gotten before, yet not on some books, but has come up again, is how my voice can be "robotic" "monotone" and the advice is "try talking to your friend when recording" The problem is i have heavily improved with those comments. And have devoted alot of my energies trying to fix that issue, of "too much polish" but the recent client i have picked up, keeps mentioning how he wants it to sound more natural. For me, this reading IS NATURAL, and how i in fact talk. Im getting a mix of, your too not like a basic conversation, and also getting you need more enthusiasm. Sometimes clients don't word things the best way, so im turning to you. This is Chapter 1 of the book, posted on my [Sound cloud](https://soundcloud.com/christopherromance/chapter-01/s-7dTnmUZNIRW), and i want your feedback. What am i doing wrong exactly? I have never had a client so particular with my reading, this is my best shot, and it doesn't seem to be enough. Is it me? and if it is, what can i be doing better. Thx in advance for your replies!

It would be great if Steam pages would list the cast of actors who performed in the game (along with other crew info, much like an IMDb page) by rEmEmBeR-tHe-tReMoLo  •  last post Apr 5th

*I did search before posting this, but if I just suck at searching and this has been suggested a million times already, feel free to close/delete the thread!* This is something I'd like to see all game sites do, to be honest. I feel like the actors, in particular, are largely left out of the consciousness of gamers. We never see their names or faces, and save for the famous movie actors or those who just happen to have given extremely popular performances, we would never know anything about any of these people unless we trawl voice actor websites hoping to find the one that employed them. It just seems strange to me that the people who we connect with most in the games we play - those voicing the characters - literally get no mention whatsoever (except in the end credits after the game has *already been bought and completed*), meanwhile the publisher and dev studio get top billing. We know more about who provided the middleware for the cloth physics in our games than we do about the person who poured their soul into a central role. The first thing you see when the game starts is a wall of text describing just about every company involved in the making of the game, information virtually no gamer cares a jot about, but if we want to know who acted in the game we either have to beat the game and watch the credits, or go "offsite" to IMDb. IMDb provides some relevant info, of course, but I don't think this is adequate or, frankly, respectful. We (i.e. the games industry) should have our own thing in addition to IMDb. If not on the Steam pages, then as a central website covering all platforms. But at the very least, Steam could list the actors' names (or rather, provide a means by which dev studios could add actors' names in a properly-presentable way, with headshots etc.) directly on the game pages or as additional pages that can be clicked through to. Even IGDb doesn't provide any of this info, which to me seems a waste of a perfectly good domain name! P.S. I'm not a bitter voice actor languishing in obscurity, in case you were wondering. I wouldn't call it *languishing*, it's really more of a harrowing sense of cosmic abandonment. P.P.S. I'm genuinely not a voice actor!

Hiring voice actors by AinzOalGown-Overlord  •  last post Apr 5th

Hi everyone, Hoping this is the right community for this but at the moment I am looking for some voices for a comic dub. The voices I am looking for are the following: 1. Female protagonists (child) 2. Motherly voice 3. Nice seductive demon voice 4. Old man voice, narrator There will be more voices as the comic progresses however at the moment these are the only ones needed. If you could please send me your discord or email address along with a portfolio of your work that would be very much appreciated. Also please attach how much it is for a certain amount of words. For example, 5 dollars for 100 words etc.

Anxiety self-taping and camera anxiety by brownalebish  •  last post Apr 4th

Hey I’m wondering if anyone else experienced this, but I’m realizing that I get really bad anxiety whenever I attempt to self tape. Like I start over-analyzing each minor action, gesture, pitch change, pronunciation.... it just drives me insane. This doesn’t happen whenever I’m performing. In fact I feel most confident when I’m in front of an audience. With the whole covid thing going on, a music video that was originally supposed to be choreographed in person will now be choreographed virtually. The choreographer asked for me to send video of a hip hop freestyle performance and I was about to record and after procrastinating for hours, I finally mustered the courage to set up my camera and as soon as I started dancing it was as if I had no idea how to move lolll and I’m actually a good dancer. (I know this is technically not an “acting” example but I’m also an actress; this is just something that happened a few minutes ago and the feeling is still fresh) I’m just wondering if anyone else has had this sort of anxiety about self taping and how they overcame it/are working through it. I see a lot of people say that they have anxiety with performing on stage or in an auditioning room but no one really talks about self tape auditions.

Questions about the difference between SAG and SAMP. by NoPantsEnthousiast  •  last post Apr 4th

Hi everyone! I had a limited experience with theatre acting when I was a teenager but I had some friends who took acting far more seriously, did commercials and tv shows, had agents, joined ACTRA (Canadian actors union), and so on. I got in to a discussion today about credits and crediting practises which lead to the questions at hand. What are the main differences between the (American) stunt persons's union SAMP and the (American) acting union SAG-AFTRA? Why would a stunt person be in SAMP and not SAG as I can see stunters are eligible for SAG? I gather they protect those with different skill sets in different ways. I'm looking for advice from those with intimate experience to help me navigate the nuances. To join the actors union you need a certain amount of credited acting (ie. speaking) roles. To join the stunting union I assume it's the same/similar. Do more stunters not do "acting" in the traditional sense but sometimes actors do stunts and are therefore covered by SAG for both? Thank you so much in advance everyone!
