Female Voice Actor Wanted by SaintxSinners0600 • last post Dec 12th
In need of female voice acting talent. It's about a four to five line script. I'm new to hiring voice talent so I don't know typical pricing but if $10 a line works for you then please contact me. The role doesn't ask for anything too special. The character (without getting into too much detail for the sake of this post.) She's a deity of sorts, not inherently evil but mischievous. She has a sweet yet chilling voice. Roughly mid to late twenties in tone but I'm not overly particular on staying in that age range for this project. Post here or DM me for more info.
New to this sub. Aspiring Anime Voice Actor looking for tips on how to get into said specific industry by niceguymcfly • last post Dec 12th
So finding this sub felt like a gold mine seeing others with the same passion for voice acting as me! I’ve recently been taking classes for my voice acting, I have an okay USB mic for the time being. A Rode-NBT? If I remember correctly, and I’m working on making my closet have better acoustics for auditions and recording a demo reel. I really enjoy animation and therefore my main goal is to be an anime dub actor so I can constantly voice in a variety of animated media. Plus I like anime so there’s a bonus. Other than mastering the art of lip syncing, is there anything I should know in particular? Any advice is appreciated, I’ve got the work ethic and ability after lots of practice. Just don’t really know how to get my foot in the door after recording my demo reel.
YO. by moto_maji • last post Dec 12th
The last few days I have noticed an influx of "HELP I'M NEVER GONNA WORK AGAIN ETC" posts. Here's the thing: You will work again. The side bar has a ton of info. Do your research. Have all of your materials up to date. Save your money for classes/marketing materials/joining the union when you have to. The job of an actor is to audition, so get used to it. If you get the job, great, if you don't, that's ok too. If you're still in school, you have PLENTY of time to figure this out. The only consistent thing about this industry is that it isn't consistent. There will be off days, months, years. How you deal with that is up to you. Work on smaller projects. Network. Find hobbies that have nothing to do with acting because otherwise you will drive yourself nuts. If you need to take a break, do it. I've heard many people say it takes ten years to get some good traction going, so if you're just starting out and don't want to quit just yet then strap in. Some of you just need to chill out! OK GREAT, happy booking and happy holidays!

I’m going to be the next big actor by Regret68 • last post Dec 12th
Just kidding, but whenever I watch a YouTube video about acting I see a few comments like this and I just find it funny. Also, I have a quick question. I think I’m finally ready to start putting myself out there more in regards to acting, but I don’t have proper headshots. Right now, I have a bit of acne. Should I wait a few months until it goes away to get headshots or just get them now and again when it goes away? I’ve been submitting myself to stuff, and I wonder if I’d be more successful if I had better pictures.
Pilot Season Rookie by alwaystoiyurd • last post Dec 12th
As pilot season is nearing, it will be my first time taking part!! Excited but, is it extremely rare to get auditions for tv shows without an agent? I heard that you can only get access to submit to major shows (Actors Access)if you are represented. Is this true?
Headshot-Age Range-Character Type Post - Dec 12 by AutoModerator • last post Dec 12th
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.
Levels? by boondoggle212 • last post Dec 12th
I’ve been reading a lot about levels in acting. Lower level managers and agents, upper level actors, etc., and I’m curious what people mean. Are there stages of being an actor and what are they? And how do you go from one level to another and can you expect upward movement just by being in the game or is this just luck and magic that’s being defined?
[Hiring] Video Game Voice Acting by philsiu02 • last post Dec 12th
We're looking for around 13 voice actors, each to record around 80 words plus 20 short emotional sounds (gasps, groans, "hmm", "tsk" etc) to be used in an, indie video game. All voices are adult (between the ages of 20 and 40) and all will be spoken in English. Specifically we're seeking female actors native to England, Italy, France, Africa and Romania, and male actors native to England, America, Turkey, Iran, Spain and Africa. The work is paid but due to the way this is funded, any actor taking part must be registered to work in, and invoice from the UK (we will need you to confirm this). If you fit the above and want more details, please message me saying which of the above roles you're interested in and a quote (including doing the recording with your own equiment and the full rights to use those recordings). If you have any samples of your work that would also be beneficial.
Should I do the expensive headshot? by kkrs28 • last post Dec 12th
I’m an aspiring actress, and I am trying to get my first headshot done. In my city there is a very reputable lady whose work is amazing but around 550$. Obviously these headshots would be the goal, but should I just fork over the 550$ (even though I could only book for April leaving me without good headshots for 4 months.) Or should I go a cheaper route instead and maybe upgrade next year or after two years? The cheaper route seems like decent work to me and is about 250$
Research Suggestions for "Nora" from A Doll House by milkydoll • last post Dec 12th
Hi everyone, I am currently doing intensive character work and research for "Nora" from Ibsen's "A Doll House" and I'd like to know if anyone knows any material that might be helpful to my research about the character. Any movies, books, documentaries, etc.? My current problem in doing this character at the moment is that I understand a lot of the background logically but I still have a hard time wrapping my head around the societal implications of a woman's role back in 18th century Norway. I know the superobjective of the character but I still can't connect to it emotionally. Even with substitutions, it's still not reaching that level of depth that is required for Nora's character. So I'm doing all I can to immerse myself in that time and place. I have read articles online about 18th century Norway's society and its laws, England and the Victorian reign, researched photos and lifestyles of 18th century Norway to give myself visuals, watched YouTube videos and analyses on others' (actors' and academics') interpretation of the play, read small biographies online about Ibsen and read the book, Stella Adler on Ibsen Strindberg, and Chekhov. As I'm doing this, I'm developing my own background for the character but for some reason, it's not all real to me yet. Any suggestions?
What do you think makes a good actor a good actor?? by -jeanne-d-arc- • last post Dec 12th
Robert Pattinson by Timoteode217 • last post Dec 12th
I’m new to this sub, you guys have awesome insights and conversations that I love to have with other people. I’ll try and add another one. How do you guys feel about Robert being casted as Batman. He’s quickly becoming one of my favorite actors along with Christian Bale, Denzel and Jake Gyllenhaal.
Acting Families by IllEstablishment5 • last post Dec 12th
I have a simple question. Why most of the time families in movies and tv shows are made up of actors that are strangers instead of using a whole family thats a real family irl?? Sorry if its a dumb question i have no knowledge at all about acting or that field.
Looking for an acting school (pref film and tv) in NYC that accepts the GI Bill and offers nights or a light schedule. by GordonSemen • last post Dec 12th
So I know that’s a tall order. I’m a full time voice actor and am also represented for on camera commercial. It is my goal to book more dramatic roles. I’d like to further my education in that regard. I am very lucky to have 2 years left on my G.I. Bill, but need to use it in the next 15 months. I don’t want to take a break from my current work, and would need at least most of the weekdays free. Nights or one or two days a week would be best. I used my first two years on an audio engineering certificate from SAE. It was 3 hours twice a week for two years. Does a technical school like that exist for actors? I’ve graduated from the Upright Citizens Brigade here in New York, but have otherwise never studied acting. While I’m booking commercial work regularly, I feel that there are some fundamentals I’m missing when I get the chance to audition for features and shorts.
Why is it so hard to get an agent in a small market? by just_ice523 • last post Dec 11th
I got professional headshots down a couple of months ago and been applied to all of the agencies in my area twice already. Even the lower rated ones. I’m trying to figure out why I’m not hearing a response from ANY of them. My resume isn’t super thick but I’ve checked out other actors’ resumes that are with the agencies and have seen that some of them have about the same or even LESS as me on theirs. I also know for a fact my headshots are marketable and specific towards my “type”. I just want to know if there’s something I may be doing wrong and if anyone can provide tips on getting their attention. I look forward to your responses!
How much should I pay? by ScaredToAskLmao • last post Dec 11th
Question about paying voice actors! I’m in the very very early stages of developing an indie game all by myself — I’m not putting any money into this because I’m broke and I’ll be doing all the writing, art, and coding by myself. The only thing is, I most definitely can’t do voice acting for 17 different characters by myself. I was thinking about posting a casting call on castingcallclub.com (I believe that’s what the website is called) and looking for volunteers who would be willing to record a few short snippets for my project — I don’t need full sentences, more like tag lines. Things like “I see.”, “interesting,” and maybe a few extra sounds like laughing and crying. Five tags in total. The thing is, I want to eventually release and sell my game for $5-$10 on steam. It feels kind of dirty to ask for volunteers for a project that I will (hopefully) be making money off of once it comes out. I’ve googled it a few times and I see the average is to pay voice actors at least $100 for their services — the thing is I can’t afford that at the moment and I’m not sure if I ever will be able to. The other thing is, that’s the average for voice actors who record full sentences and lines and I will only be needing tag lines. So, what do you think would be a fair price to pay for five tag lines? Should I start at, lets say $10 total? That’s a price I’ve seen thrown around on casting call quite often... Now, don’t get me wrong — if this game actually ends up being a success, I’ll definitely get back to the voice actors and pay them more for their service. But, assuming this game goes no where, is $10 a fair price? I know it’s a huge downgrade from $100, but I ask because I’m a broke college student and like I said, I’ve seen that price before on casting call. My assumption is casting call is home to many beginner level voice actors who do it more as a hobby than a career, so would this be an acceptable amount? Really don’t want to sound like the scum of the earth who doesn’t want to pay artists what they deserve, so please let me know if I’m horribly wrong here! The only experience I have with voice acting is volunteering my own voice for various YouTube series, and none of them have been payed gigs. I’m a real newbie here. Thanks to those who answer!
Acting? by pizzasos5 • last post Dec 11th
I am interested in becoming an actress, but I am afraid in the end it will not work out and I would have just wasted my time. Thoughts?

Talent Link? by Yaars23 • last post Dec 11th
I know industry referrals are best for an agent, but I was wondering if anyone here had success with Talent Link through Actor’s Access?
