Roxie With A Broken Foot #TheSearchForRoxie by bethperformsstuff • last post Oct 23rd
Hey actor people! This is more theatrical- than film-related, but since I saw some theatre in here, I figured I'd give it a shot! I put together a video audition for the [Broadway.com](https://broadway.com/) and Chicago contest to find their new Roxie Hart (**#TheSearchforRoxie**), and I'd love to share it with you. The first round is decided by their casting team, but I figure that showing them it gets good online traction can't hurt, right? Plus, I'm doing **Hot Honey Rag on a broken foot,** and that alone is something. Would you click the link and give me a look-see? Likes and comments on YouTube, plus shares on social media help a lot, too, if you feel so inclined. Thank you in advance for any help you can throw my way!! [https://youtu.be/F92fcwFmkYM](https://youtu.be/F92fcwFmkYM) Mods, I read the rules and figured that this is okay, but please let me know if it ain't!
Recommending someone to an agent? by momthinksimpurdy • last post Oct 23rd
I worked on a short with an actor, who asked who my agent was. She wanted me to recommend her to my agent, but I don’t really want to recommend anyone whose work and background I’m not familiar with. She’s a new actor, with no training. And to be honest, not to knock her down, but I’m not believing what she’s doing/saying as the character. Her actions and dialogue’s so stiff and calculated. Maybe I can recommend her in a year or two, but not now maybe? My agent might think I’m a dumbass for recommending someone who’s not ready. She’s also expecting me to get back to her about my recommendation.
[$300]Looking for upgrade as I start practicing the craft more seriously by Polygeekism • last post Oct 23rd
Hey there voice actors. I am going to start pursuing VA/VO a little more seriously over the winter and am going to upgrade my blue snoball either myself or as a suggested Xmas or birthday present from my wife. I am looking for a setup around $300 including the mic and the audio interface for the PC. I will have the mounting equipment and pop filter and whatnot purchased separately from this budget. I know there is more that goes into it other than hardware, but I have already gotten what I want out of the snowball, and have always been annoyed by it's lack of sensitivity anyway. What are your suggestions for getting started at this next price point.
College Audition/Pre-Screening Advice by bgirlsdoitwell • last post Oct 23rd
Hello! It’s college audition season, which means that I get to spend my days having that slight actor paranoia of making sure I get every possible piece of advice to feel as prepared as I can be. Obviously, college auditions are different than regular auditions. They’re trying to get a feel for who you are as a person. Does anyone have any information about what the process is like after you perform your pieces? I know some schools like to talk with you afterwards, some don’t. What type of stuff will they ask/talk to you about? Secondly, pre-screening. Yikes. I’ve never done a self-tape before, but I’m fortunate enough that my photographer parents have a blue background and good lighting systems. What should I wear? Should I keep my outfits consistent throughout all the tapes? I’m a 17 year old female, if that’s any help. I’m applying for a BFA in Acting at Millikin University, Webster University, Northern Kentucky University, UT Austin, and the University of Cincinnati’s CCM. Thank you!
Adults Playing Children by NoOneLikesNicAtAll • last post Oct 23rd
Hello, I am currently producing an audio drama and the main characters are 8-14 year old children. I am looking for advice on the pitfalls of using adult voice actors to play children. Does anyone have any tips or tricks that might be helpful? Should I be looking for male actors with higher pitched voices? Does this take years of training to pull off believably? Any and all comments welcome. Thanks!
Ask A Freelance Voice Actor Whatever You Want by StepStuff • last post Oct 22nd
Losing passion for acting but you know you want to be an actor? by qu0na • last post Oct 22nd
So I KNOW that I wanna be a actress right, so I joined an acting class but it felt like a job and not something fun, so it kinda made me think well maybe I don’t want to do this anymore. But then I just get these random passions for acting but when I took my acting class it felt like a job and I don’t want it to feel that way, i want it to be something I enjoy because deep down I KNOW I want and HAVE to be an actress in my lifetime but I just lose passion for it sometimes all of sudden and it comes back, I’m gonna 16, graduating soon and people keep asking me “are you applying to colleges” and “what do you want to be” but I honestly can’t decide, does anyone else feel like this or know how to deal with this feeling?

Recommendations for showreel companies in NW England? by inthe0151 • last post Oct 22nd
I'm based in Liverpool and currently have everything I need for an agent to look at me except for a great showreel I have Equity, Spotlight, headshots, a CV, and other actors willing to recommend me but I'm taking a lot of roles right now in stuff that isn't coming back looking worthy of a showreel or even coming back to me at all. Does anyone in northwest England have experience with those companies who specialise in shooting and editing a showreel? Who would you recommend and why? Is it even a good idea to do this, or would an agent make their decision about me based on whether my showreel was made up of clips from short films or crafted from scratch by a company? Thanks
How long do you think you should give an agent to start getting you auditions? by Ramoach • last post Oct 22nd
Hey there, I started pursuing acting a couple of years ago and three months ago I managed to get an agent. We clicked pretty well. Thing is, I've had no auditions from them apart from one for their own theatre production. Before signing, they stated that they have connections within netflix and amazon. My passion is screen acting and these are the kinds of gigs I'm looking for, so how long do you think is reasonable to wait until I start considering other representation? I'm playing with the idea of either another three months to give them chance to get me at least one tv/film audition or a further nine months to make it a whole year. For the record, I'm aware that the agent isn't supposed to get you all your roles and that an actor should be proactive and constantly sourcing work. However, I feel like I should have been put forward for at least something by now. Thanks for any input.
Becoming an Actor with practically no experience by xoapsoccer33 • last post Oct 22nd
I'm halfway through my degree in education, but I've always thought acting would be cool. How does someone with very little experience get into acting? Anytime I watch a TV show or movie I just think how fun it must be to be involved in creating something like that.
NYC Actor to London... Advice Please. by potatoesandpizza • last post Oct 22nd
I'm a NYC based actor heading to London for a workshop for 6 weeks. The workshop itself is only 2 days out of the week. I am really, really excited but also lost on some of the basics, as I've never spent more than a few days in London before. A few things I would love tips on: ​ 1. Where to stay in London? The workshop is in Southwark and I don't mind a commute up to 45 minutes. I'm not really sure where to look for a short term rental. 2. Any studios I can take drop in classes, and continue to work on my craft? 3. This is a long shot, but any agencies that might be open to representing a NY based actor? Thank you!
I just filmed a nationally broadcast advertising campaign and I've not acted before...now what? by jeezy_26 • last post Oct 22nd
Hello, So I'm not someone who has any big experience in acting outside of a few school plays and sketches in church, growing up, but I've been rather fortunate to just film and do a photoshoot for a nationally advertised campaign for a social media site. I'll be appearing in two adverts over the next few months for them which obviously means exposure. As I said, im not an actor by any means in my day job, however I've discovered that I really rather enjoyed the experience of being in front of camera and doing a bit of acting during the course of my 1 day (and very intense) shoot. As part of the campaign, i've now done some acting a voiceover and a photoshoot, which is starting to appear all over my city's public transport and will shortly be broadcasted all over the country, with me (as one of the extras put it) as the 'hero'. So at at this point I guess the question is, what should I do next? Is it a case of getting headshots and try and get work as an extra and build up? What would you do in my position? Any advice would be greatly received as its a position I wasn't really expecting to be in a few months ago! Please forgive my ignorance if it really is a case of jumping the gun somewhat, I'm just excited at the thought of finding and feeding a new passion!
Who are some really good actors who have never done theatre before or very little of it? by throwawaysc127 • last post Oct 22nd
I often hear people say that the best actors have done a lot of theatre before, but who are some great actors who haven't?

Voiceover actor needed for MMA YouTube channel. by karl100589 • last post Oct 21st
Hey guys. I'm the producer of the popular MMA YouTube channel [It's Not Cagefighting](www.youtube.com/itsnotcagefighting). We're currently looking to increase the output of videos on the channel, but as it stands the availability of our current narrators limits our ability to do so. We're looking to get our next video out before Halloween, and were hoping is someone here would be available to take the project. A knowledge of MMA is preferable but not required. Reply to the discussion topic or PM me if you're interested, and I'll send over a copy of the script. Thanks in advance.

Do actors apply for unpaid background roles, and why? by dontcallmebythat • last post Oct 21st
I always see unpaid, non-union background roles on Actor’s Access and wonder if they’re worth submitting for. One just popped up today that’s for an overnight shoot. Do these productions actually get actors to sign up? And if so, are there any benefits to it other than networking? EDIT: I also specifically am wondering about unpaid background roles as opposed to paid ones, especially in big cities where there’s always something going on.
Hi there, i have a question! by oledane • last post Oct 21st
For a very long time now i have always been intrested in acting, when i was around 15 i remember taking a theatre acting class but it wasnt for me, since atleast not at that place focused alot on the idea of evoking emotion. I have always felt that i am good impersonating/evoking emotion, but there isn't really anyway for me to tell, other than i have felt the urge to act many times. So the question is... how do i know if im a good actor?
