What are some good ressources to check out if want to improve your craft? by SirCuntyMcDoucheface  •  last post Jan 1st

I've recently got into VOing and am now trying to find ways to improve. So far, I've found the book "The Art of Voice Acting" by James Alburger which seems to be highly respected in the community, a similar book by famous voice actor Yuri Lowenthal, and the "Tip of The Tongue" podcast on the JelloApocalypse YouTube channel. If someone could point me towards any other good ressources that I could learn from, free or not, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Acting beyond the method by stile03  •  last post Jan 1st

Daniel day Lewis is considered in the top 3 actors to ever live (if not the best actor) and he is renowned for his embodiment of his characters, not one of his performances are the same which makes him so unique and amazing. He is known for being a method actor that stays in character throughout the entire 8 month shoots of his movies, there was a claim that in “my left foot” DDL would make people push him around set in a wheelchair and that he broke 2 ribs whilst acting out his paralysis. So my question is, do you guys think that there will ever be an actor better than DDL? And my second question is do you think that it is possible for an actor to surpass Daniel day Lewis without being a method actor? Or is method acting vital to reaaaallly connecting with a characters past present future and emotions related.

Any of you actors out there skateboard? by throwawayacccccccoun  •  last post Jan 1st

Just curious.

When I watch myself on video, I find myself involuntarily shaking my head. I hate it. What might you recommend to break this habit? by OUntimelyDeath  •  last post Dec 31st

I’ve been this way for years, but it hasn’t been as much a problem before as it is for the project I’m working on now. I’ve taken movement classes, and apparently they didn’t beat this out of me. Little shakes, when I’m trying to keep my head still. Like Jay Leno. It doesn’t seem to be medically related. I’ve checked with my physician. This is just how I am. I hate this more than anything else about me, because it makes me a worse actor, and I just can’t seem to shak— uh, you know, get rid of it. Any tips to help me be more mindful of my movements? And happy new year, of course!

I have no idea what I'm doing by IDrawStuffSometimes7  •  last post Dec 31st

I've been told I should be a voice actor. And tbh that sounds awesome cuz I've always loved cartoons and the like. I just have no idea how to do any of that stuff, like where to go, what to get, etc. (If anyone cares but I doubt it) I can strain my voice really high but also creepily low (female). Like I can do a perfect (perfect) Timmy Turner, pretty much any Tara Strong voice for that matter; Truffles, Dil, adolescent boy or sweet little girl voices. The other babies from Rugrats are pretty easy too (except Susie of course, only Cree can do Susie). Also sassy teen girl voice "like whateverrrr." And then I can go super low and do a nice Charlotte Pickles (I like Rugrats a lot). I've managed to go even lower and give people chills. Like it's scary how low my voice is for being female. Finally, and much to my boyfriend's dismay, my anime girl voices are cringy af, the stereotypical english-dubbed anime girl voice; for example, the english version of "nico nico niiii" might as well be me. Not to toot my own horn, I just wanna know if I can get anywhere with... this.

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!
