I will pay you $15 through cash app, or pay pal. If your interested or have any question please I invite you to contact me! I will be happy to give you more details! Also please be 18+ Cheers!
Why did you choose to become an actor? by TSDTRT3i • last post Sep 19th
What made you decide to pursue acting as a career? Lately I have been thinking about my own experience acting and why I have chosen this career path. I’m curious to hear from other actors.
Which agencies are generally used by Funimation and others for Anime voice over work? by neontetrasvmv • last post Sep 19th
So, I work a lot in indie film, as a cinematographer. I shoot small feature films / short films and something that I get nagged about constantly, is if I've done voice over work. It's usually other talent which remarks on that, so I thought I would actually put a real demo together. My interest is in Anime, so I thought about re-editing a few scenes of different anime and doing my own dub as a reel. As someone who knows nothing about the specific agencies which are used by Funimation and other voice over studios, which ones are the best? I know cold submissions are not going to be accepted, but at this point I know enough people in the industry that I could probably get a good referral. Through a quick search online, I've found Funimation has links to actors from Marry Collins agency. Any other good ones I should know about?
How important are CD workshops? by BUSCEMIxCAGE • last post Sep 19th
• Are they THAT important, and should you take them? • Can you actually NOT get in touch, or at least get in the room with a CD, if you don’t go to their workshops? • What are the benefit/s of going to those (especially to newer actors trying to actively pursue it)? • Will your agency drop you (or at least do something about it) if you don’t go to CD workshops they suggest you go to (especially if you’re a new actor, AND new to their roster)? *note: the agency is obviously NOT affiliated with those workshops, nor are they forcing the actors to go. They send out mass emails notifying actors of upcoming workshops they suggest you go to.*
Question about casting actors. by Armadillo_Dangle • last post Sep 19th
So my friend and I are making a short film, we are far enough along in pre production to where we already did auditions and picked our actors. For each role we also picked a 2nd and 3rd choice in case our top choice drops out for whatever reason. I was wondering what (if anything) I tell my 2nd and 3rd choices? Do I just not email them anything, thus they will think they did not get the part and I will only email them if someone drops out and we need them? Or do i email them saying something like "Hey we really liked you but went with someone else for the part, however you are our 2nd choice and we would like to have you if someone drops out of the project"...? Also, another question for all the people who we did not pick for the role, do we email them telling them that we went with someone else for the part? Or do we just not email them anything and they will know that they didnt get the part? I am just wondering what normally happens after the audition process (We are new at this entire producing and casting thing) Thanks!
How Do Actors Memorize Their Lines? by Mynameis__--__ • last post Sep 18th
I've always had a kind of more theoretical/academic interest in how how actors practice their craft. In my family, there are a few screenwriters, but they are often too busy for an in-depth conversations on a craft they are only professionally-related to. So I thought I'd post this as an open question on this subreddit: **How do actors memorize their lines, and what are the strategies or methods most effective for you?** Disclaimer: **I always grew up hearing "actor" in a gender-neutral way, so I apologize if my use of it offends anyone. Please let me know if it does**.
What does it mean to be an "emotionally intelligent" actor? by DeadNames • last post Sep 18th
I've seen this term thrown around on this sub and I haven't been able to completely nail what it means. I know what it means to be an emotionally intelligent *person*, but in my 22 years I haven't heard the term apply to actors before. Is it an actor that is able to apply and portray emotions genuinely? That's what I figured, but I thought I'd ask.
Can I become an actor at 28? by BigLongFootDoctor • last post Sep 18th
The only idea I have would be to create a Backpage account, but I feel that would never have casting calls for legitimate sized movies or series. Feel the company couldn't risk it with an outside talent. I've always wanted to play as the villian in movies because I'm a nice person in my everyday life. How does one even go about becoming an actor. Seems being born exceptionally good looking and being discovered. Kinda saddening to think that though, maybe just a beginner's false belief. Please help me with this one!
Finding teen actor jobs (vague title) by manouna-theo • last post Sep 18th
Hello, I found this sub by accident and I need help, please please please. I’m sixteen and I live in Quebec, Canada. I looked on Famestreet to find acting jobs in Ontario or such, and other sites, but I have problems. 1. I can’t afford subscriptions especially if I don’t know if it’s legit. 2. I would like to know if you guys have any idea about a show or movie or whatever that need an actor for a genderqueer role (non-binary or such). Not a big deal but still. I don’t care if it’s far away, unless I have to go overseas... 3. I have no experience! Does anyone have an answer to any of my questions? Thank you if you reply. Usually my posts get embarrassingly ignored so that’d be nice of you.
Trying to get into doing commercials to put more on my resume. by Justanerd123 • last post Sep 18th
Hello! I’m a 22 year old female currently living in the state of Arkansas. I was wondering if there are good sites to for finding auditions for commercials for I can get some on screen experience. My goal is to be a movie or tv actor and I’m slowly working my way up. I only have theatre work under my belt right now and I know they can be totally different. I’m wondering if there is a way do safely find auditions in my state for local ads or something along those lines. Or is trying to do local ads a bad idea? I’m still learning the ins and outs of the business so sorry if I’m making you guys cringe!
Why do film actors and theatre actors not understand each other? by StrobeRogers • last post Sep 18th
I like to think of myself as a theater actor, but whenever I book a play, I tend to somehow weird theatre people out..and I never know why. I do everything theatre people do ( fawn over great performances, sing musical numbers with overwhelming glee-mostly badly unfortunately) but i never have any close friendships after snd everyone else usually does. If i do a short film or commercial, however, i usually end up with at least one buddy. Any help?
Any Canadians living in LA or NYC? by glassrobin • last post Sep 18th
Hi there! I am a Canadian who has been working as an actor in Canada for about a year and a half. I've done primarily stage work, but I've done a few film, TV, and voice gigs to date. It seems that so many people on this sub suggest moving to LA to seriously pursue acting. I would like to know the proper ways to do this and if there's anybody here who's been in my situation and can tell me what they did.
You’re an aspiring actor. You just booked your first paid gig. You make $1k. How do you invest it to become a better actor and get better paying gigs? by MickyKaMoodle • last post Sep 18th
Anyone know if there’s a way to make your voice crack with emotion? by ThunderCatKJ • last post Sep 18th
Editing post cause I think I’ve confused you all. I don’t need help crying or making that believable. Just enquiring about vocals and actors having their voices crack. Take this scene for example with Liam Hemsworth and Jennifer Lawrence. At 3:55 Liam’s voice cracks in the work “pain.” I just wanted to know if anyone knew tips or tricks to manipulate your voice to do that. https://youtu.be/17Dre3nrkj4 Furthermore. To me acting is all about pretending. Pretending to be sad. Pretending to be happy. You’re portraying a character and acting how they would act in that scene. I don’t think it’s a requirement to get a good scene by producing real emotions from your own personal experiences. Method acting is all fine and swell. But it’s not the route I take.

Accent resources by Professor01011000 • last post Sep 18th
I am auditioning for a part in a production of Flanagan's Wake this Sunday. They say they prefer actors who can do an Irish Dialect. Can anybody recommend good resources to learn this without sounding like a racist stereotype?
Acting Classes in New York City from DC by dc_actress • last post Sep 17th
I have studied acting for a number of years in college and out of college and decided to take the Manhattan plunge a few months back. Joined a number of facebook groups, Mandy etc and casting networks. Checked out some classes with Penny Telmpleton, 1 on 1 and Actors connection. Was going to take a workshop I saw on TMFA - Talent managers for actors, with one of the group owners, actor James Ciccone. Has anyone googled him? I checked a few pages in google and saw that he was arrested for scamming thousands dollars off students and schools back in the mid 2000's, and was sent to prison for a while. There are a number of articles on google if you do your research. I work for the SBOE (DC-BOE) here in DC and would be really offended if this is the same guy with another scam as I was going to take his classes. as recommended by the group
Quick Question Regarding TV Ad Campaign Pay Rate by Markledunkel • last post Sep 17th
I have been asked to interview for a TV ad campaign for Redfin (real estate company). I am an untrained actor and my wife and kids would likely also be featured in the ad. The marketing supervisor reached out to me yesterday and asked to do a video chat/interview. How much pay should I expect or ask for if selected? Thanks for any advice!
Looking for input on official SAG name by brittany_cardo • last post Sep 17th
Hey everyone, I would love to get some opinions on something I've been debating. I am an actress and recently started training for stunts. I am going to have to join SAG soon in order to work in stunts so I need to pin down my professional name. My current options are: Brittany Cardoza Brittany Daley-Cardoza Brittany Daley Cardoza Brittany Daley I have gone by Brittany Cardoza my whole life but I've never loved my name. I like my mom's maiden name "Daley" better so I wanted to incorporate it, so I've worked under Brittany Daley-Cardoza for the last year, but I am afraid all three names together might be too much of a mouthful? I have gotten feedback from people who love Cardoza and think I should keep it, and others who think Daley flows better. Does anyone have any input? I know at the end of the day it's all preference, but I really want my official "stage name" to have a nice ring to it. (Added my headshot in case my look influences your opinion) https://i.redd.it/196o3j0vt7n31.jpg
[ACTING CRITIQUE] I am not an actor by any means, but I enjoy being in front of the camera by MyNameIsDurs • last post Sep 17th
I tried to act as a flat earther ( Yeah it was tough), I think the video is funny, but I was trying to make it as real as possible. I am looking for some tips and tricks for any acting skills. Here is the link to the video: [https://youtu.be/uHSWGZ3ImgA](https://youtu.be/uHSWGZ3ImgA) Obviously, now that I told you I am not a real flat earther, you'll know I was faking it, but could you tell me, how realistic it felt and if you would have believed it if you watched this with no background knowledge. Thanks!
