Can we get a sticky post for all the “I want to be a voice actor” questions? by KindaAVampire • last post Dec 31st
It seems like multiple people a day will post the exact same question and get the same answers. I get that many people don’t look at the sidebar, having something front and center with resources and links will probably help cut down on the repetitive “I’ve been told I have a great voice, what now?” posts over and over and over again.
Value in learning to lip sync? by kwpapke • last post Dec 31st
Most of my VO work is for [my Youtube channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqFIXyhSUTEPgWJYh851xGg). Most of the scenes are shot out in the wilderness. Sometimes, despite using a dead cat, lav mic, etc. I get crappy audio due to high winds, background noise like a waterfall/river, or other issues. I've been tempted to learn how to lipsync to patch in studio quality audio, but not sure whether that skill has value beyond that occasional use. I do some audiobooks, Librivox work, etc. and have considered doing more commercial VO work. It seems like a lot of CGI voices done by celebrity actors are essentially lip sync jobs, some commercials are perhaps created this way because the actor has a lousy voice. Anyway, curious if there is a market for lip sync talent out there. Any first-hand knowledge?

When do Non-Union projects film in Toronto? by PuffyBunny96 • last post Dec 31st
Hey! I live in Toronto and I am a new actress, but I need to get some sort of job ASAP. I am non-union right now and was just wondering if you think it's possible for me to try and get a temporary 9-5? as it seems that everything that I have done for the non-union projects I've worked on has been on the weekends (and it seems a lot of the ppl doing union stuff must have day jobs too?) Thanks! TLDR - does most non-union stuff film on weekends or nah?
Need voice actors ASAP for a proof of concept project by projectstuff500 • last post Dec 31st
Hi everyone! I'm looking for voice actors to basically record some short scene readings as part of a show pitch. I want people to use the ubiquitous epic fantasy/historical drama Britishish accent of *Game of Thrones*, *Lord of the Rings*, *Rome*, *Medici*, *Vikings*, etc. **Altogether, I have eight speaking roles/characters and around 16 lines of dialogue that I want performed**. They do not all have to be played by different voice actors, but the voices have to sound distinct. Here are the roles: **A mad emperor** **(male; in late 40s)**, 1 line **A lord at court** **(male; in late 40s)**, 1 line **An ambitious rebel commander** **(male; in late 20s/early 30s)**, 2 lines **A principled empress** **(female; in mid 50s)**, 1 line **A deposed queen (female; in late 30s/early 40s)**, around 4 lines **A young king** **(male; in early 20s)** around 3 lines **A gregarious emperor** **(male; in late 40s)**, 2 lines **A fiery empress** **(female; in early 40s)**, 2 lines Please contact me if you are interested and/or can help me find good voice actors for the project. I'm willing to pay for quality but I'm doing this independently and don't want to spend a lot of money (and this is only part of my pitch). Thank you very much for your help!

A man with a dream by HighFoxNumber • last post Dec 30th
Hello everyone, I'm a 27 yo french guy working in IT as a Systems Engineer. Born, raised and actually living in France. I've always wanted to become an actor. I don't have any relation, family, acquintance in the acting field and I've never had a class, been in a show, movie or anything.. I've never knew where or how to start this journey. Knowing that it might be silly, I still need to ask.. Is it possible to become an actor at my age ? How and where to start ? Ps : I have been thinking a lot about this lately and I think have regrets and I'm feeling like I've wasted my time all these years, even if I didn't, since I have mostly everything I aim at so far. Thank you for reading me and for your advices/answers.

Grad school or studio? by StrobeRogers • last post Dec 30th
Hello, I have been debating whether I want to audition for grad school or if I want to audition for something smaller. I definitely think something smaller. However, I can't afford anything without a scholarship due to loans. I don't want anything too actor focused. I want to learn musical theater and to learn to be an artist definitely. My main goals are film and tv. I am now considering either circleinthesquare, stella Adler academy LA, Asolo conservatory or UC San Diego old globe. What would be my best option? Thanks!

My voice is frail and I wish to speak and project like an actor. Will musical vocal coaches do? by BigBootyBear • last post Dec 29th
I didn't like how I sound on whatsapp voice recordings. One day I did many vocal exercises and suddenly I felt my voice dropped. Not too steep, yet it felt way more grounded. I felt vibrato when I spoke, I could project my speech across the room even though I didn't talk very loudly. I failed to replicate this up until now. What's more, I feel like I "strain" my voice when I speak for prolonged periods (voice dictation, voice programming etc). I want to learn breath support, voice projection etc. I don't like always speaking from my throat. That day it didn't feel like I was "making a voice". It felt like I found it! Will musical vocal coaches be able to help me, or is that a task only for "theatrical" vocal coaches?

Insuring a short film under SAG Short Project Agreement by jadee1997 • last post Dec 29th
Hey all! Working on producing a short film in the next couple months, and have done so before with the old short film agreement. Just wondering, have any of you produced your own film/acted in it w/out obtaining insurance for the production? It's just four of us, two actors, dp and a director. Shooting in our own homes. I know under the contract it's suppose to be insured but I've never been asked to show proof of insurance and am wondering if any of you have. Let me know any and all thoughts! Thanks! Appreciate it!
International actor: Joining SAG by Lour-55 • last post Dec 29th
I am a 19 year old actor who is currently studying theatre at Williams College. I really want to work in the states in the film industry (like everybody) since my country has no entertainment industry. I was wondering if anybody knew of ways international actors can easily join SAG knowing that they can't audition for a film unless they have a work visa and cannot get work unless they audition, yea that irritating loop hole.
Is applying for the Juilliard school of acting a waste of time? by arabactor99 • last post Dec 29th
Hi everyone, I’m a relatively new actor that is looking at either moving to LA or New York to pursue acting. I have quite a bit of finances saved up from playing professional soccer and was recommended from a director that’s a family friend that I apply to Juilliard, is this worth the attempt? I know it’s nearly impossible to get in so are there steps I should take to better my odds?
Should I consider this?!?!?!? by darkknight203 • last post Dec 29th
I am a university student in the south, and my major (and many other majors) required taking a Speech course. I just recently finished taking a 2 week version of the required Speech class where my professor required everyone to dress up formally every single day of class (Males in suits and ties and Females in formal women's attire). Well, we gave like 3 different speeches, and one of them was like an impromptu speech. At the end of that speech (which was my last speech), the professor (a veteran speech instructor since before I was even born) approached where the students were sitting and asked me. ​ "Have you ever tried acting?" I said "No, maybe just a few church programs or high school presentations. Why do you ask?" He said, "Because, I think you would be good at it." He's actually a California native, and this surprised me and seemed odd since I go to college in the deep south. In the south, outside of maybe the most major southern cities, being an actor is a fantasy. I don't know whether I have actual "acting talent" or whether he was just captivated by the suit and tie I was wearing (and all my fellow male students were wearing). ​ What should I think about this and should I take him seriously?
