Atlanta Actors by MUkow23_ • last post Apr 9th
If you moved here from another state, do you find the move worth it? I came here instead of Los Angeles to build my resume. I'm seeing based on IMDB, a good amount of actors that are being hired, for even the smallest parts, are coming from Los Angeles. What gives?!
[HIRING][PAID] Send Me your Best Matt Champion Voice (Deep Male Young Adult) by beyonceisavirgo • last post Apr 9th
Hello hello, I'm looking for a voice actor to narrate a story I wrote for my friend's birthday. She is a huge BROCKHAMPTON fan, and we actually went to their concert back in 2018 where she saw Matt Champion use his inhaler and thought that it was the most adorable thing in the world. She has been in love with him since then. The moment in question: [https://www.instagram.com/p/Br5tjKfDKUx/?utm\_source=ig\_web\_copy\_link](https://www.instagram.com/p/Br5tjKfDKUx/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link) Her birthday is on April 25th. I wanted to give her something digital because I don't want to add more workload to the people working for shipping companies in this whole Coronapocalypse, so I wrote her 6000 words fanfiction. The rate would be $25 MINIMUM (Through Paypal). I am willing to pay up to $50 if you can get super close to his voice.

Looking forward to hearing from you guys.
CASTING CALL: Seeking Actor-Singers for Online Musical Parody on COVID-19 by Grokographist • last post Apr 9th
Hey, are you overflowing with musical comedy talent but no stage upon which to perform it due to the national health crisis? Wanna stick it to the feckless Trump Administration with some edgy satire from the comfort of your own home? Well, then this quick, funny and fun project just might be for you! The other day I got inspired after watching a couple of homemade musical spoofs on the web, so dove in and wrote some parody lyrics to a major broadway hit tune. I found the background music on the web, then performed all the parts for the wife. Big thumbs up and laughs in all the right places. This is a NO-BUDGET production, so I can't offer any compensation other than copy and credit. The basic premise is a video conference call between state governors, Trump, and his incompetent lackeys, so all you need to bring to the table besides your awesome talent is the ability to video record yourself performing your part with decent quality audio, then upload it to me for final mixing and editing. So the next step is to cast this thing, which is why I'm reaching out to all of you. Here's what I need: **MALE CHARACTER ACTORS who sing well for the following roles; over 40's preferred.** * Pres. DONALD TRUMP (speaking & chorus) * V.P. MIKE PENCE (principle & chorus) * A.G. WILLIAM BARR (principle & chorus) * Sen. MITCH McCONNELL (principle & chorus) * Gov. ANDREW CUOMO (principle & chorus) * Gov. GAVIN NEWSOME (bit & chorus) * MALE GOVERNOR - TBD (chorus) **FEMALE ACTORS who sing well**... * Gov. GRETCHEN WHITMER (bit & chorus) * FEMALE GOVERNOR - TBD (chorus) **Please audition for any of these roles by responding to this post with a** ***private message*** which includes *a private link to a video* of you (on YouTube, Vimeo, or other video sharing platforms) performing *any* musical comedy number of your choice. The video should be *no longer than 60-90 seconds*. If you already have video like this on your reel, that may work fine, but I'll want to see some character acting on that as well. You can sing with b.g. music if it's instrumental only, otherwise please sing *a capella*. If you're auditioning for specific character role(s), please include a few seconds of your *best* impression of that character before or after the singing section. It doesn't have to be dead-on perfect, but the principle roles speak a bit as well as sing, so do your best. Feel free to use makeup, hairstyling, and/or wardrobe if you wish to enhance your character, however *it's not a requirement for this audition*. As for me, I'm nobody you've ever heard of, but I do have comedy writing experience in network TV, produced and directed my own sketch comedy DVD, and am a professionally trained editor with feature film experience. For security reasons, I'll be revealing the tune being spoofed along with my original parody lyrics only to the final cast of the production. Once it's released on the web, I'll post a link here for everyone else who tried out or is interested in watching it. Thanks for your time. I look forward to seeing your auditions!
How does one know what type of roles to go for? by iamz33r0 • last post Apr 9th
I haven't acted in maybe about 10 years. I was excited to get back into it til Ms. Rona showed up. But i figure i'd do some research in the meantime. How do I know what roles to go for? As a "new" actor, what would you suggest I do to figure out the type of roles I should be going for? Thanks for your help!
Headshot-Age Range-Character Type Post - Apr 9 by AutoModerator • last post Apr 9th
Use this thread to post your headshots for feedback, get info on your age range/type, find good headshot photographers, ask any questions you may have about headshots. If you are posting a DIY headshot for feedback, and not just a snapshot in order to get feedback on your age range/type/etc, it is advised that you do at least some basic research on what actor headshots look like--composition, framing, lighting. You will find a Google Image search for "actor headshots" to be very helpful for this. Non-professional shots are fine for age/typecasting; please keep in mind that one picture is a difficult way to go about this. Video of you moving and speaking would be ideal, but understandably more difficult to post. For what it's worth, the branding workshop at SAG-AFTRA recommends a five-year age range. That's inclusive, so for example 19-23, 25-29, 34-38, etc.
Difference between great vs outstanding by MoyersN • last post Apr 8th
I read an article on Emma stone just now saying she excels and it’s apparent that she does. I am just wondering, when does an actor cross from great —> outstanding?? What must an actor do to achieve this? I always hear “they must capture the characters life” or something along those lines... but, what does this MEAN? Thanks!
Do you think it's useful for an actor to know how to write novels? by BarbieAnkles • last post Apr 8th
I've been looking for screenwriting books and along the way, I've come across ones that teach you how to write novels. The ones I'm interested in are well-regarded but I don't really know if I'd be wasting my time with them. I'm trying to expand myself as an actor and become a better writer so I can better understand scripts I need to dissect and whatnot. Do you think novel-writing would be a useful skill for an actor to have to help expand on my screenwriting skills and script analysis? Thanks!

Starting out in Voice Over acting world by Charming-Chocolate • last post Apr 8th
Hey! So I'm an equity actor in NYC that is now unemployed scratching my head toward what to do. My voice is pretty versatile and I'm looking at my closet and thinking of building a makeshift voice over studio. What do I need to know to get started? How expensive should my first mic be? Can I use Garageband to make my voice demos? And, like, what even is a voice demo? I want to do infomercial stuff but open to more. Is [Voices.com](https://Voices.com) the best place to look for jobs? What is branding within voice over work? I hope everyone is staying safe and thanks for the advice! (:

Self Tapes by MUkow23_ • last post Apr 8th
Hi everyone! My question is geared toward Los Angles actors. Are most auditions self taped these days or are they calling in actors for auditions? \*In normal times, not under the current lockdown\* The market where I live its ALL self taped. I'm considering moving to L.A....that way I can audition for both markets at once. New to reddit and overall confused with ....everything. Haha
Stella Adler Interview Questions by wishingstarrs • last post Apr 7th
Hi all, Currently arranging my interview times and dates with Stella Adler Summer Conservatory. I was wondering if anyone also has interviewed there and has any tips or an idea of what they might ask. I am also a bit concerned that they don't require an audition of any sort for the summer program. Will I still be getting my money's worth or is this a means for them to gather revenue from "less traditional actors"? Any advice appreciated!!
