Since everyone else is doing it... (Demo / Site) by lusciouscactus  •  last post Feb 20th

I have been an actor for a while. I have been into recording engineering for a while. So I figured let's marry my love for both of those things. I am honestly just getting started. I get paid things here and there, but I'm not going to quit my day job or anything. Any and all feedback is appreciated. But be gentle. ;) Thanks ahead of time. mittstech.com/voice

Getting back into things after taking a break for college? by RaeADropOfGoldenSun  •  last post Feb 19th

Hi guys. When I was in high school I started pursuing acting professionally. I lived near enough to NYC that I had a manager there and I booked a few small roles in TV shows and movies. Then I went to college in rural Ohio and my manager and I parted ways, and my acting career was put on pause for a few years. I booked one pretty decent role on my own over that time (small role in a Sundance film that shot over the summer of my freshman year) but other than that, I couldn't audition or work. Maybe going to college was a stupid decision but idk, it happened. When I graduate I'm planning on moving to NYC to pursue acting as a career once again. What I'm not sure of is how to do that. I don't want to start back at square one again (no agent or manager, doing no-pay student films, etc.), but all my credits will be multiple years old and my manager and I did not end on great terms so I can't go back to her (she was also just not a great manager overall). Would it be weird to text all my old friends who didn't go to college and are now working actors to ask them to refer me to their agents? Will having some credits and union status mean anything to agents and managers, or will I be seen just the same as the thousands of other recent college grads looking for representation? Not that that's a bad thing, I just feel like I had some momentum going then lost it entirely for college, and I'm not sure how to proceed once I'm back in the game. Any advice from anyone who's taken a break from acting for a few years and then successfully gotten back to it would be greatly appreciated!

Marketing your skills? by worldtraveler9700  •  last post Feb 19th

Hi all, I'm an actor and recently have been thinking of ways I can monetize my skills. I was thinking offering private audition coaching and college prep. A bit about myself, I'm 23, have a degree in theater performance and am a working actor in the Washington DC area. What would you suggest is the best way to get my name out there by offering this? I'm just nervous no one will take me seriously. Thanks for your help!

Am I on the right track? by __Exosphere__  •  last post Feb 19th

I auditioned for Peter and The Starcatcher and after auditioning I was given two minor roles to play. However, my two characters combined barely leave me with any lines in comparison to many other people who are co-starring in the play with me, and most of them are just playing one role and yet they still have more lines. I understand that everybody starts off small, but I still just feel like I am not able to show what I am truly capable of doing. No matter what is asked of me, I’m going to continue coming to rehearsal and perform for them exactly how they want. However, I just want to make sure that I am starting off where I am supposed to. If I’m somebody who dreams to become a successful actor not in just in theater, but in cinema, Is this the best way to get noticed? I just want to make sure that I’m on the correct path if I want to make it into cinema, and that I am not trying to get myself into a completely different branch of the industry.

Tell me the vibe! by redranger__  •  last post Feb 19th

Hey acting community. My girlfriend recently accepted a grad program in Houston, Texas and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the acting scene is like in that area? I have an extensive background in theatre from contemporary to Shakespeare, from Arthur Miller to Tennessee. Working on stage and in production. Also interested in doing other work such as V.O. and film/tv. I’m asking what is the vibe down there for a young actor/theatre maker down there? Any idea, places to look for and submit to? Thanks!

If I’m a successful voice actor on Fiverr am I still blacklisted by agents? by AbbeyNaurmal  •  last post Feb 19th

I rake a hefty salary on Fiverr making on average $6k a month. I have all 5 star reviews and I’m top rated. My customer service is to notch. Now, I’ve heard that folks get blacklisted by agents for being on the platform. My question is why?

What do you guys normally do when your voice feels awful? by Tristan_Dean_Foss  •  last post Feb 19th

So, for the past two days, not only has the back of my throat felt like it was shredded, but I've had an unparalleled amount of phlegm in my throat. This has overall made it feel bad to speak and gives my voice a more growling quality. What do you as a voice actor usually do when you experience this?

How much can I make monthly on ACX? by ProperPolymath  •  last post Feb 19th

The ACX website says it takes an average of 6 hours to complete one finished hour. Is that pretty accurate in your experience? Also, how likely is it for a newbie to get consistent work? I figure if I can work 20 days a month, 6 hours a day, that'd be about $1,000 a month. Does my math add up? I'd be interested to hear from people who are also relatively inexperienced in this field (not necessarily professional actors) who've been doing this for 6 months to a year. Thanks

Is the iAudition app dead? by noriods  •  last post Feb 19th

I'm writing a post for my blog on mobile apps for voice acting and I came across an app called "iAudition". The idea is that you hook up your USB mic and do your auditions wherever you are. It also allowed you to edit your recording. (Basic cutting I think.) Anyway, it seems to have disappeared. Did Voices.com gobble it up when they launched their own app? Or what's going on? Would love to hear from someone who knows. Also, if you know of any good apps for voice actors, please post 'em. Thanks!

I don't think Marlon was a great 'actor.' He was just doing his own thing.

Best acting website subscription for beginners outside of major cities? by a_persons  •  last post Feb 19th

Title kinda explains it. I live in the metro detroit area and I'm essentially a complete beginner. I have taken some classes for an elective and my teacher suggested acting should be something I try to take further. I wanna get the most bang for my buck with a subscription. I always hear about Backstage and Actor's Access being the main two for auditions. What would you suggest given my situation?

What can I do for my acting career for $1k a month NYC by Alonajey  •  last post Feb 18th

Hi there, I’m in the beginning of my acting journey. I’m trying to do as much as possible for my acting. This is what I did so far: -I take classes every month( classes are 1-3 times a week, depends on a studio) -I’ve scheduled a photo shoot with great headshot photographer. -I’m in a process of shooting scenes for my reel with a reelarc. - I take accent reduction and speech classes twice a week. I do travel a lot so whenever I’m in a new city like LA, London or Paris I try to take classes there as well. Right now I can spend around $1-2K a month on my career(sometimes less, sometimes more it depends). What else can I do to improve myself as an actor ? There’s this guy in LA who helps actors with their image/type and prepares them for the headshot session, is it worth it ? Do I need voice class? Thank you :)

Has anyone done VO without being a (ACTOR) by WeaponLord  •  last post Feb 18th

I see voice coaching recommended a lot but I also see there is so much scams out there, then I see streamers getting gigs or youtubers who have never done acting getting gaming parts, so I guess my question is if you want to do simple AUDIO books do you need voice acting or would just simply having a youtube channel and learning your voice and software through youtube videos be enough? it seems all the information is freely available to learn.

Should I become better looking before I try to get an agent by Firm-Dirt  •  last post Feb 18th

Hey all. I'm interested in becoming an actor but I don't look as good as I can. I'm kind of skinny. sitting at 20 percent body fat at the moment and I have a buzzcut. Would it be slightly easier If I first get a good body and better hairstyle? I'm about to turn 21 by the way. This might be a dumb question but I'm curious to see what the answers are.

Getting an Agent by _pretty_in_pink  •  last post Feb 18th

Do you guys have any advice on getting an agent? I submitted my demo reel, headshots, and resume to 4 agents in my area with only one response so far. It’s been a week. Acting is my passion and people tell me I’m truly gifted. It’s what a really want to do. Do you guys have any advice on getting jobs outside of an Agent? I know about backstage, actors access, etc. but anymore suggestions?
