Looking to recast mascot voice (Unpaid) by ReAmRez • last post Sep 9th
Hi. I’m a cartoonist who wants to start working on their internet presence. I’m currently looking to recast the role of the male half of my mascot duo. This isn’t a role for just one project specifically, it’s a role for a multitude of projects that’ll feature the character. If you don’t think you can commit to returning to the role, sometimes months apart from one project to the next, than do not apply. These projects may range from innocuous animated shorts, to controversial mock interview/podcasts about political issues, to stories revolving around N.S.F.W. social issues. Although no project will ever be pornographic/lewd in nature, if these potential project types sound too risque for you to attach yourself to than do not apply.Keep in mind that this initially won’t be a paying role, due to these projects being released free to the public. However there is the potential for it to become a paying role if a big enough fan base forms. I’m recasting the role due to the last actor failing to ever reply to my attempts to contact him, not due to his poor performance, so at the bottom of this post I’ve provided an unfinished clip of a now scrapped project which features him and the female mascot character. I hope it helps to convey what I’m looking for in the voice for this role. Character name,description, and audition lines will also be at the bottom of this post. When recording for your audition submission, the format before starting your take on the character should be:1)Your name 2)”Tie audition” 3)”Scene number” 4)”Take number”.(if multiple takes are being recorded), all said in your normal speaking voice. If multiple takes are are being submitted, combine them into one file. Slight improvisation to help lines come out more naturally for you is allowed. Excepted file types are Mp3 and Wav, with your name or preferred online handle as the files name. Submissions with no background or white noise will be prioritized. If applicable, a copy of your character demo reel or a link to your previous work would be appreciated for future role consideration. Auditions and/or questions should be sent to [re\_am\_rez@yahoo.com](mailto:re_am_rez@yahoo.com) for the fastest response. Deadline is 10/09/19 12:00 am eastern daylight time. Name: Tie Sex: Male Accent: American Age: 18-25 Baseline Personality Type: Calm and reserved ​ * Scene 1 (Confused) I… don’t know ***What*** this is, (Sincere) but clearly you’re proud of it. (Pretending not to care) So I won’t trash it, or whatever the nice thing to do is. I don’t know. * Scene 2 Repeating (Confused and snappy surprised noises) (Irritated) Are you telling me he ***Didn’t*** do it like you said he did, and now ***We*** have to make up the difference...? (Relaxed) So when do you get started? Cause I am ***Not*** sticking my hands in there again…for you… *with them*… near her. * Scene 3 (Light hearted) (Chuckle) Ya know… I used to know him. Yeah… *used* to. Now he’s gone and grone up on us. (Playfully Menacing) Now let's see just how much. For old times sake. Am I right?

Should actors actually experience the emotion they're playing? Or just demonstrate it? by celinesestevezz • last post Sep 9th
A debate on acting that's been going around since Shakespeare's time.
Male teen actors without body hair? by Joshnee • last post Sep 8th
I am 18 years old and acting but I have realized that when watching most movies, TV shows, or whatever, most actors aged like 17-21 have no arm hair for sure and none or almost no leg hair. Do directors make you shave it off since it looks better for the screen and because a lot of people don't see teenagers with hairy arms/legs? I have pretty hairy arms/legs at 18 and I am just wondering if that might effect my chances at getting casted because maybe I appear older than 18 because of it or something. Just thoughts, please leave your opinions.

I wake up every morning feeling dread in my stomach, because i have literally no idea how to spend my time or be "productive" with this anymore by aperfectcircle870 • last post Sep 8th
i know my brand. i know my "target cds". im already trained. i've taken workshops. i have shitty shitty low level agents that get me handful of auditions a year. i have a reel. im in sag. i'm tired of sending emails. i'm tired of wasting money on workshops. im tired of wasting money on classes. i'm beyond tired of working for free. i'm beyond tired of self taping for bullshit student films. i'm tired of talking to actors on this sub and having them tell me the same basic business principles over and over again but not actually give specifics as to how THEY got their first co-star or created their first relationship with a CD, aka what worked for THEM. what do you do when you wake up in the morning? paint me a picture of your day. do you email people EVERY day? do you do physical mailings EVERY day? do you do workshops EVERY day? nothing i have done has yielded any results AT ALL, so how in god's name am I supposed to know what works? how many years of my life am I supposed to watch go by without feeling like i know what I"m doing, without making a PENNY, stuck waiting tables WAY more than I act, having all this free time and without ANYBODY actually helping me in any way shape or form? i want to be productive with my life. i want to be paid to do what i'm good at. if it is NOT in the cards for me to be a paid working actor, then i want to fucking move on with my life. i am so tired of feeling dread when i wake up, I am so tired of feeling lost every single day of my life and receiving no guidance. i do not get it.

Casting /talent agency internship while pursuing acting? by dontstopmenow9898 • last post Sep 8th
Hi everyone! I was reading about Zazie Beetz and Camila Mendes and it seems they found their agents through internship connections. Zazie Beetz had an internship at an NYC casting agency which led to short films with Columbia's MFA faculty and a referral to her current agency, Gersh. Camila Mendes interned at Carson Kolker and got her Riverdale audition after being signed by them. Obviously there are a couple caveats to this 1. They were able to take unpaid internships. 2. They both had training in the form of LaGuardia "Fame" High School and NYU Tisch. 3. They're both gorgeous. There are lots of actors who fall under these categories but never get anywhere. How come this isn't a more popular way for people without any industry connections to network and learn about the business?

Voice acting by Th3R3dDud3 • last post Sep 7th
I never knew I wanted to be a voice actor till today, I don’t know if I’ll have to do school or not, I honestly don’t want to, but I don’t see any other way to be noticed until I do, I wanna be a voice actor so I can meet bigger people and work with them, raise money for other communities and other people, help my family, but I’m afraid. I’ve done a lot of things I’m not proud of and I’m afraid to put my voice out there, voice acting seems like it’ll be fun to do and I really want to try it without school, I want to show that you don’t need school for everything, but I don’t know if it’ll work
I want to be an actor but I have a really weak chin by Ailes_De_Poulet • last post Sep 7th
I'm currently in drama school. I love acting, on stage or on camera. However, I'm insecure about the way I look, especially about the fact that I pretty much have no chin. I know it may sounds stupid but I'm really insecure about it and sometimes, not always, when I'm on stage it gets in the way of my acting. When I have to stand in profil, I start losing focus. I know I can get surgeries but I barely have money to pay for my school. Is it really an issue ? Should I take a break or stop acting ? Thank you for your help !
Timothee Chalamet by stile03 • last post Sep 7th
Hey guys, I would just really know what you think is so special about timothee chalamet Acting. It’s obvious that he is a once in a generation talent and has a love for acting and puts a lot of time into it. However, what do you guys think draws the viewer and makes him so damn relatable? I’ve noticed while watching him even though I know his past movies I just completely fall into his character and believe that he is that character and no longer timothee chalamet BUT WHYY AND HOWWW. I’m not an actor so I’m not sure how he does it but I would love to know :).

How can I find an agent as a newcomer without experience by Dreaminbig2020 • last post Sep 7th
Hello there! So I have recently moved to L.A. and have one curious question that I just can’t seem to get a straight answer to. How does one in L.A. get signed to an acting agent? I mean I have heard the stories of people moving here and then getting signed to agencies but how do they do that? Where do they go? Who do they talk to? What do they do? What are the steps? For example like Sydney Sweeney. If you guys don’t know who that is she is an up and coming actress on the HBO show Euphoria who moved from a different state to peruse acting with very limited background acting experience (I read that on an online article about her), and then got an agent and the rest is history, but how did she get an agent? As for I, I myself have extremely little to none experience acting as well. I have been in a couple school plays and was in a production back in my old state where nothing really happens over there and am here in L.A now seeking an agent. I have scoured online sources in search of a specific answer but they all give vague answers so I have now come to you guys to seek a better knowledge of this and how to maneuver the L.A. acting scene.
Looking for an unknown voice actor with a deep(ish) voice and (optional) British accent for new dark comedy web show. Must have a sense of humor, have the ability to improvise plus have your own microphone and recording software. by TheHornedPuck • last post Sep 7th
The role: play the voice of a polite demon who is also the narrator. Length: 1 season (10 episodes) each episode will be 12 - 30 minutes long. Pay: Only if the show takes off. This isnt a corporate show. It will be a small group of people trying to make something fun. But if it becomes popular, future pay is a very much a possibility. When: filming will be taking place over the next few weeks. You will need to be available for a couple of days anywhere from 3-5 weeks from now. Where: Online. We would meet in Discord and Kast. Due to the nature of the show, scripts can only be written after filming is complete. Being a PC gamer is a plus but not required.
ATTENTION: Yes, becoming an actor IS POSSIBLE! by ActorPlaybook • last post Sep 7th
When I decided I wanted to pursue my dream to act, I was excited and anxious all rolled into one. "What do I need?, How do I find auditions?, Where do I learn what to do?", were all running through my brain at once. It was overwhelming and I began to wonder, "Is becoming an actor even possible at all?" Almost a decade later, my resume includes extensive credits as an actor, producer and writer, including Academy Award-winning films. I am here to tell you, "YES! It is possible."(I began at age 33 FYI, so no, you are not too old and it is not too late!) The path of an actor can feel like feast or famine and/or drowning in self-doubt or soaring with confidence. Bottom line, the heart wants what the heart wants. If you can imagine yourself doing anything else or pursuing anything else, then you should go do that for sure. Though if this dream to act, to be an actor....is the movie, the play that plays on loop in your heart and it is all you wish for....then keep putting one foot in front of the other and realize the glorious opportunity that surrounds you. Post a performance, a monologue, a scene daily, weekly and so on, on instagram, YouTube, etc. Develop A+ assets to submit and market yourself as an actor. Search daily on Actors Access, Backstage, local film groups, college/universities with film programs, facebook groups, etc. for casting opportunities to submit yourself for Read a book on acting Study the human experience, take notes Practice accessing specific emotion Take a class Just.Keep.Going I believe in you. https://i.redd.it/85evjtn0o8l31.png
any actors here have really bad anxiety? how do you cope with it? by PixelatedNumbers • last post Sep 7th
i don’t mean general anxiety before a show or an audition because i’m pretty sure everyone has them, but anxiety really bad that it doesn’t make you sleep the night before an audition or show, and just anxiety that makes you shake in nervousness.
