Karma Pro Users: Please thread here! by John Soren • last post Jun 29th
Hey All! It's been a wild 24 hours for me, and I'm working through the issues. Apparently nearly 20% of the listings did not migrate properly and that cascaded into several other problems. Those listings have now been moved over, which will help. I want to talk about the issues some people are having with Pro - mainly the "popup" issue. This change actually wasn't due to the new site, it was based on Chrome's recent update which disallowed the old way we'd open windows. People who had already upgraded Chrome were not able to see anything (they would get an "About:Blank" page) until we updated the window opener. So, before getting into it, please make sure of the following: You should have Chrome updated to the most recent version, which is 75.0.3770.90 You should have the updated version of the Karmalicity Pro extension, which is 2.4.1 If either of those things is not true, I can't be sure which issues to address... but given those two things are true, please provide as much detail as possible about what issues you're facing when trying to use the extension, and I'll try to work it out!
How to read a booking info email? by ShatteringLast • last post Jun 29th
Hello there, real actors. I only recently decided I wanted to be an actor. I've zero training, etc. I saw a local casting call for background extras for a TV show filming in my city. Decided to send an email with all the info they requested, and to my dumbfounded astonishment, I rec'd a reply an hour later. Problem is, I'm not really sure how to read it. There are a few different roles for background extras, and I'm not sure which I would be, and therefore not sure what my wardrobe should be. The last thing I'd want is to show up at call time with the totally wrong outfit and be *that guy*. Are there any resources on how to read these emails? It's got that type of bad formatting that you see from like, government agencies. Thanks in advance for any help. This is bonkers to me!

I feel like I am an actor on the inside by em8472 • last post Jun 28th
I’m 26 years old and I have never once acted or attempted to act or auditioned for anything, but I sometimes act out scenes at home by myself and I think I am good at it. I can bring my real feelings into whatever I am trying to act out and make it very real to the point where I almost feel like it’s real to me in that moment. I would really like to explore this side of me more but I’m not sure how! How do you get into something like this? How do I start getting into acting if I’m 26?
In need of actor please help me by ThrowAwayGarbagePail • last post Jun 28th
(this may not be the right place to post this but oh well) Hello, I have an offer. I'm looking for a man between the ages of 16-23 to play a character in my story. I'm making a horror story via a social media platform and I need someone that would be comfortable with sending me selfies and videos of themselves for this story. Why do I need these? I need these to make it seem very realistic and make it seem like it's real people that really are these characters. If you are even the slightest bit interested you can message me on any of the following and I can give you more details: Instagram: @throwaway_throwmeout_ Tumblr: @bookwriterwannabe Twitter: @throwmeout__
Worldwide Casting Search - is it legit? [castittalent/ telsey+company] by janevsthevolcano • last post Jun 28th
Hey guys just wanted some opinions on whether the casting website "castittalent" is legit or not? I found an open casting call on facebook for the lead in a new show, and the submission has to be made through castittalent.com. I haven't been able to find much about them, but the casting directors who posted the casting call (telsey+company) seem very legit and reputable. (There are articles written about them, and actors discussing them in online forums.) And this role does seem like something that would make sense to cast an unknown in - specific skills are required (great voice, proficient piano/guitar player), and it seems like a real "rags to riches/star is born/funny girl" kinda thing. The only thing is it's $5 to submit. Usually that's a red flag, but on the other hand all the other casting sites require fees for membership, so... Thoughts?
If clients just wanted a clean, pleasant sounding read, they would have probably just done it themselves. by VOAudioDude • last post Jun 28th
Day in and day out I watch new voice actors underestimate the element of actual ACTING in the craft, especially in commercial reads. You can never forget that there needs to be a reason why a client would pay you to use your voice- you need to develop a skill that exceeds simply good tone and understandability. Even in the dryest or most poorly written scripts, you're responsible for bringing them to life and designing emotions that didn't exist in the content before your read. It sounds basic, but I can't count the number of new talent I deal with that just "read" and whine when they can't book their first job. I think too many talent see the craft as a get rich quick scheme, especially in online casting.

any actors in NYC looking to rent out a room at a reasonable price to another actor? by ilikedogs54659 • last post Jun 28th
i'm repped / sag, wait tables downtown, and looking to decrease my rent as well as live with other actors. everybody I know pays over $1000 a month for a room, which i find to be ridiculous, and just forces you to work more at your survival job and devote less time to the entertainment stuff. i'm looking for like 600-800$ if possible. i know they exist, i've found them before. but i also want to live with actors so we can help each other out with self-tapes, which would save me so much money instead of having to pay somebody each time. if anybody has anything available DM me and I can send you my website / Actors Access, etc. thanks guys
Good Experience with any agencies in Toronto for children actors? (Union roles) by Rillithain • last post Jun 28th
I’m looking for an agent that handles children in the Toronto area for principal work. My kids have done lots of background stuff but they want more. I know Actra (they are in the union) have a list of agencies on their website but I feel it’s just random. How do I know who to really trust. It’s my kids after all. Does anyone have good experiences and can recommend someone ?

Acting school by spncrhnn • last post Jun 28th
Hello! I’m currently 15 years old, living in Europe. I have no previous experiences in acting but after I finish high school (gymnasium?) I want to apply for an acting school in USA. I have several questions and would appreciate if any of you took the time to answer some of them. I’m thinking of joining an acting class (I have no clue how professional it is), would that help me when trying to get into a high profile acting school? I’d attend the class for 3ish years. Which acting schools are recommended? I’m keen on AADA, maybe even AMDA but since I’m an international student I’m not sure if they’d accept me or if I’d get some kind of a scholarship since the tuition is pretty high. How can I prepare to becoming an actor? Any recommendations on which books I should read/whose videos should I watch? I’ve read that some of the schools require reading a play from Shakespeare. I’ve read the scrips and they seem pretty hard. How can I learn to act them out? Would it help if I recreated famous scenes from movies/TV shows and learned acting that way? Thank you!

How do I hire a specific voice actor from voices.com or voices123.com without using the services? by Newbie_to_sound • last post Jun 27th
I'm trying to hire a specific voice actor to record a dozen lines similar to previous work he has done in a video game. He is advertised on [voices.com](https://voices.com) and [voices123.com](https://voices123.com) but from what I've read on this subreddit, these services are detrimental to the industry. Do these websites allow direct contact with these actors outside of a contracted job? I'd like to get in touch with the person directly instead of going through these systems where they'd get paid less.
Headshot-Age Range-Character Type Post - Jun 27 by AutoModerator • last post Jun 27th
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. 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.
